never again would accept Of position unless
it was forced upon him. he further said,
having been charged with the procuring Of
arms for Western Virgins, that he was not
enttled to any such credit not having had
anything to do with 1t.
Mr.. PieFpont said that the Government at
washington cannot sympathise with the es-
tablishment of sprovisional government here,
as was eyidenced by the fact that only 900
arms had been procured after strenuous exer-
tions. But he had authority 10 cay th0t they
could haze as many men and aTmS as we're need
ed tc defend the URiOn men here, when The
tiRls came.
Mr.. Wheat EiGhed to say word. The
gentleman from Marion had charged that
there were expressions In the invol intary
applause which had sometimes burst forth,
Of an intention to browbe Il or intimidate.-
On the contrary, the people OF Wheeling were
for the Union and for free speech at all times.
A recess was here taken Hntn 2 O'Clock.
At o'clock the Convention was called to
order. A stirring aud patriotic letter was
read from Berkeley gounty, setting forth the
Union feeling in that county.
Mr., Paulsley offered an amendment to Mr.
Carlile's resolution, that instead of reporting
an ordinance OF immediate secession, the
Committee report in favor Of casting the vote
of the counties here represented for State Of
fcers 20 take the place of those now nomi-
nallS in office.
Mr.. Carlile accepted the amendment, and
to show his desire 10 conciliste, and to do
what should prove most effective to unite the
Convention, be offered further amendment
to the effect that if the ordinance Of secession
shall be ratified by the people of Virginia, a
Convention shall be called to meet here early
in June, to then and there take such further
action as may be found necessary. These
amendments were referred TO the Committee
on Federal Relations.
Mr.. Pierpont continued his remarks. His
conviction was that the Richmond Gonven-
| ton had acted in contraVention Of the law
| of the land. He did not think that the Ordi-
Il hdulC VI eCNSooAOA hoNA1 ~-N -
Mr.. Lamb, of Wheeling, here moved that
the whole report with all substitutes and
resolutions, be referred back to the Commit
tee without igtrucdOns.
Ne Crlile concurred in the motion and
maaeit bis own. Carried.
Mr.. CarliIs moved that the Convention
now adjourn until tomorrow morning. to
give the Committee time to perfect their
action. ~ .g o..s
Previous to adjournment Mr.. Latham, Of
Taylor Co., read series Of resolutions, which
Bsre referred to the Committee, denying
the legal right Of the Virginia Convantion,
or even of the people at the ballot box, 10

been formed into brigade, and Capt. Lyon,
who commanded them when they captured
the secession forces on Friday last has been
