WHEELING NA.s sunday December 10.
The Convention has disposed of the Boun-
dafy Question. They include, unconditionslly,
in aooitiop 10 the thirty nine counties included
by ordinance of the August Convention, the
counties of Pocahontss, Greenbriar, Monroe,
Mercer and Mcdowell. They also take in
Hampshire, Morgan, Berkeley, Jefferson, PEN
dleton and Frederick, on the condition that
majority of the votes cast in the district and
and majority of the counties comprising it
= -.
in ct the election to be held on q day
appointed by the Legislature. This attempt to
extend the boundary is regarded by some as an
eDdesvor to embarrass the progress Of the nes
Slate movement.
The Convention was yesterday discussing
section relating to treason against tho State.
MIR. Van Winklo, Of Wood, raised the issue
that there could be no such thing as treason
against State. One clause makes it treason
to speak, write, print, publish or circulate any
thing to uphold invasion or insurrection during
the continuance Of he same. This clause will
probably be expuDged.
Mr.. Battelle, of Ohio County, introduced q
proposition Prohibiting the importation of
slaves, making il the duty of the Legislature to
regulate in a human manBner the family rela
tioDs of slaves, and providing that after a
certain date involuntary servitude, except for
crime, within the new State shall cease. Re
fe1red to a committee.
The discussion on this will probably begin
some time next week.
