proper TO bind them over to keep the peace and
they were taken before magistrate for that pur-

BOY The result of the vote on the question of
"Conventon," or "no Convention" in this State,
shows an overwhelming Union majority-that is an
overwhelming majority against immediate secession.
1t was generally believed about here, and indeed
throughout this division of the State, that the vote
for a convantion would prevail, and that the Union
sentiment would be shown in the character of the
delegates chosen for it but the result shows that
while the people voted almost uniformly for Union
delegates, they, at the same time, voted in large
majority against any Convention at all.
Whether it would haye been better to have held
convention or not we are not competent to decide
II is said by some that the vote against cenven-
ZION was the result of change of tactics by the Sc
cessionists: that despairng of electng their men
rs delegates, they determined to defeat the conven
ton, in the hope of throwing the matter into an
other extra session of the Legislature. We, how
ever, do not believe that this is true. The secess-
ioa men may have voted against the convention
with the view suggested, but we do not believe thai
this vote controlled the result. We believe the
Union men regarded convention, at this time al
unnecessary and dangerous, and therefore voted
against it, and defeated it. We know that many
Of them looked upon convention as but mean
10 immediate secession.
