/ TIE CosvENTIoS.-By ordinances and
proceedings published ih this paper, the
main action ofIhs Convention may lie seen.
On Wednesday an ordinances was repor ted
by self-appointed committee composed Of
seven secessionists and co-operationists, as
G compromise measure between the two
parties. 1t was adopted unanimously; or if
any votes were cast against it, we did not
hsar them. The ordinance provides tSr sn
election 10 be held on the FIRST Monday in
August, at which the legal voters Of the
Stale are 10 cast their ballots for aseces.
sion" or for "cc operation" If on that day
a majority Of the votes Of the State be cast
for secession that fac, is 10 be considered
as instructions to the Convention 10 pass an
ordinance severing the connection of Ar:
kansas with the Union. IT, on the other
hand, majority of the votes Of The State BE-
cast for CO. cooperation, that fact will be in
struction 10 the Convention Immediately I'd
take all necessary steps for cooperation
with the border or unseceded slave States
10 secure q satisfactory adjustment of ali
sectional controversies disturbing the csun:
try.
There Is to be another session Of the
Convention on the third Monday in August
next, and TO insure the vote Of all the coun.
ties being reckoned, each delegate is made
a special returning officer to bring the vote
Of his county to the Copitol.
Besides this ordinance submittine the
proposition Of secession or "oo.opera.
iion"t 10 the vote Of the people, resolutions
were passed providing for ,hs election Of
five delegates TO the border slave State
Convention proposed By the States of Vir-
ginia and Missouri, to be held some Il I'd
during the znonth Of May. So that the pro.
oesdings Of that Convsntisn will be before
the people, amply csnvassed, and, we hope;
fully understood, when the vote Of the Stats
is, cast, on the frst Monday Of August
next.
While the result Of the l.bors Of the Con:

around the Court House after night, picking
the mortar out of the wall and pasting Ia
bells over the holes, or that very patriotic

flance-the Union Of the States ignored
the Constitution set aside, and another, at

the parties instigating and leading this re.
belLon have seized upon the property ofI
our Government, drivenits officers and sol.
diers from their posts Of duty, and by armed
violence have sought to humiliate our flag

the chances Of success, and, having no sym

people, determined, at all hazards and at any
cost of treasure and Of blood, 10 attempt the
execution of their unwise and wicked pur-
poses. With such men / have no COM
promises to make-to such have no terms
to offer, other than all unconditional sub.

tuition and the laws
But in my opinion the number OF this
class of men is small. The great body of
the people South are loyal to the Govern
ment their sympathy is with it and for it,
if the real nature of the controversy was
fairly before them, and they were permitted
to act in accordance with their own feelings
and judgments. 1t is the loyal people of the
South who must suffer the most by the con-
tinuance of hostilities. ] would, therefore,

p%IRoN BRIDGE.-The Commissioners
of Belmont county on Thursday last award
ed the contract to build an iron bridge over
McMahan's s Greek, at Bellaire, to Mr.. Saml.
Swartx, of Buffalo, New York. This will
be the first iron bridge erected in Eastern
Ohio, and will be the commencement of a
new era in bridge building in our county (;
for we venture the assertion that when this
bridge is completed it will give such gener-
al satisfaction that there will be no more
wooden structures built over any of our
principal streams. We, on our recent trip
East visited the cities Of Cleveland, Buffalo
and Albany, for the purpose Of examining
the various wooden and iron bridges used
at these points, and are satisfied that, as O
matter Of economy, as well as on account Of
their neatness and durability, the iror
bridges, when introduced, will superceds
the wooden structures wherever bridge
is required of greater length than 40 O.
so feet. The great objection heretofore
urged against the introduction OF irol
bridges has been their probable increased
cost over the wooden structures. This objec
tion, however, appears to have been base
on an error, as the effort demonstrates tina
the first cost of the iron bridge IS less tho
the cost of good ,oooden bridge The Coz
of Howe Truss bridge, 100 feetlong, woul
be, according to the bids made, $1,000
The cost Of tho iron bridge contracted TO
which is Swartz's Patent cast iron Arc
bridge, is but $l7OO complete,-a saving
1900 to the county in first cost, with di
ference in durability in favor of the irt
bridge that would justify an expenditure
three times the amount for original oonstru
ton, and then prove matter Of econon
70 the taxpayers Of the country. We ha
been for several years urging the Comm
sioners of this county to introduce iron
stone bridges as matter Of economy, a
are pleased to see this start in the rig
direction.

Convention letter was read by D. Peck,
purporting to be from you, in which MIR:
Peck makes you say shat peace is disunion, +"
and ito be in favor of peace is to be in favor
of dissolution of the Union"
DR.. West also said that he had letter
from you containing the same sentiment
The Republicans in this part of the county
are trying to make capital out of what you
said in your letter and many of your friends
feel very sore over it.. am of the opinion
that there is some misunderstanding about
it and would be pleased to have you explain.
Please write Immediately, as l desire tc
have this matter settled.
