as we do, can never be precipttated by the
lawless spirits among US. They are so
few that they,are well known, and there
is hardly boy about town bnt what
can in, a moment or two run over
their numbers on his fingers.
The only hope that these precipitators
and revolutionists have is in being able to
oyerawe the loyal public sentiment that
prevails by false constructtonsofthei al
leRlaues-by tsrrOrized appeals to their
State loyalty, and by seeking to vitiate all
misconceptions of gOyerumeut.sud-dutJ'
This they are trying to do in the interior
by means of the prestige of the bar and
the bench. SMALL dapper lawyers are
giving ez cathedra opinions, and Judges,
like the precious Camden, are circulating
charges to the grand iuries. In this the
people arc sought to be book-ized and
awed into secession. Aud the wonder is.
not that secession has made any head at
all in Western Virginia, bat that it has
not made much greater tead.

The Convention.

TODAY the Convention called to dslib.

the kind ever assembled in this part Of the

The meeting of this convention is an mn

to say anything u.Eqvora6te to them or
their Vaccinations.
On one point, we presume, there is but
little difference OF opinion, and that is,
that some action must be taken for the
protection of the Northwest. We all nc-
knowledge and appreciate the fact that
some sort of efficient measures must be
taken, as the only barrier between US
aud destruction. 1t only now remains
to ascertain what they shall be. The me-
cessity is unrelentiug We must do some
thing, or, by doing nothing, do worse

timeisOppOrtuae; the people are ready, ripe,
eager for the action that will give them a
something around which they may raIly-a
something to give their adherence and
allegiance to, aud which will sustain
itselfand them in supporting it. Such one
We may have, if the leaders arc capable as
the people are ready.
Now is there man from all the North
west who has the nerve aud the genius to
lead this great movement Is there one
who can concentrate the scattered ele-
ments and bring their chaotic fragments
into form. Such one is wanted, and
wanted just now. We shall SEQ whether
We have such one among US. The man
who can do it will be hero-a hero

fame is waitiugeven now to write down his

clever thing-in making those "arrang-
ments." But what did this clever arrang-
mcnt cost2 We should like to know that.
What was the price paid for It'll We are
inclined to think nature and circumstances

while before the gentleman thought Of
them. But we don't wish so much to init
mate doubt of AIr. Haymond's entire eff

that it would have been we'll for him to
have made some arrangements" by which
JEFF. Davis soldiers could have been kept
off Virginia soil, and the war thus confined
to the cotton States, where it belongs, in
stead of being precipitated on the people
of Virginia. Couldn't he make an arrange
ment of that sort yet? With the aid OF
Camden, who proposed to so to Montgom-
cry as kind ola peace commissioner, we
think it might be done; or wouldn't it be
better for tho, Hon. AlpG. TO just make
some little arrangements! aud put stop

consider the matter, and let the country

The 81, Louis Tragedy.

We have already given, in our tele-
graphic cxtrn, the particulars of the terri
BILE affair at st. Louis, on Friday, between
the .. s. troops aud moi, by which
some twenty persons were Killed, many
wounded, - and among them several wo.
u.en aud, children, This, WAS mpst la
inevitable news;-let the merits. Of the mat
Ter be as they may. 1t isnn,easy matter,
however, to say that The troops ought not
to have fired on prOmiscnous crowd, in
which were women and children. Every
body would assent to proposition of this
bind, standing by itself and divested' 81 all
surrounding circumstances. But only
those who were In the ranks of those SOL
diCrs-Uitizen soldiers, recollect, aud not
regulars-can know or estimate the provo
cation under which, in self-defence, the or
der was given and executed, to fire. One
of their officers, it appears by one account,
fell from the FIRE of the mob, before the or
der was given to return it, and 10 his fall,
under all the provocation of his own
wound und the wounds of his somrades, he
gave the order. The question for every one
to ask himself is, What are soldiers to do
when they are set upon and shot down by
amob! Arc they to stand and be shot
down, or are they, like all human kind, to
yield to that instinct of self-preservatioh
which is the first law of nature2 Much,
therefore, as every humane person must
lament the killing of innocent women and
children, all must recognize in it, one OF
those stern, but inevitable mishaps and
necessities brought about by mob ruiian-
ism.

The Demonstration saturday Night.

On Saturday night, it having been gem
orally known that Mr.. oarlile and other
distinguished gentlemen were in the city.
and at the MLure House, an immense con-
course Of people collected IN the street in.
front of the hotsl, for the purpose of call 8
ing out some speeches. About o'clock
the Iron Guards marched up in front of the
ssAIrrBnre, With flying cOiors and martial
music, amid the cheers and shouts of the
assembled crowd, which at this time could
not have numbered less than / 500 or 1000
people. The German band was out and
played the Star Spaugled Banner, Hail
Columbia, and other patriotic airs, in very
fine style. No sooner had the military pa
raded in front of the house than tile cry
went up for "Carlilel Carlilen from all
quarters and with dcafniug unanimity. 1t
was sometime before Mr. CarliIe appeared,
and meanwhile the impatient multitude
continued to call for him with persistence
that showed nothing short Of, speech from
him would satisfy them.
