49,. C.-n,,ent,on Proceedings.

orr -ood.rs will find tic secret debates Of
thu VIRGINIA State Convention, which wo are
now npblishing, of absorbing aud constantly
-on;nr interest. That indeed, was no ordl-
n,,v occasion, and those were no ordinary Is

edicts from Washington, that awoke them
from all their dreams Of paaca. 1t is interest

bearance had vexed the spirits CT the more

putting on her armor, and preparing to strike
those instant and vigorous blows That rung
through the land, anu whose benefit has been
incslculable. The history Of these things; the
hidden facts and the secret orders; the naniy
speeches Of those whose souls were inspired

course and the opposition of such as were
