/ THE latest actiOu IL the Convention of
which We have any account by the papers,
was Mr.. Carlile's motion 70 adjourn sils de.
The Convention adjourned With that mo-
tion pending. So the next ne hear from
there VIII probably give Us some inklipg
Of how the proPdsitioa is received by the
Convention.
]. Prom the course things about Richmond
seem to be nov taking, We doubt whether
the Conreulion could do wiser thing, on
tie whole, than 10 adjourn nov, Al once,
Eitboot day. We had hoped. aad The
people had hoped that At last they were
to have the load taken from their backs
We still hope so, but hardly expect it Of
this Convention. Ever since there has
been West, It's people have been oppress-
ed by their more lordly brethsen Of the
East Year after year they hate pleaded
for justice, and year by year they bare
beea growing into power. The only
approaches to concessions of oar nudoubt-
ed riEhty that have ever been made on the
part Of the East, have been wrung from
them BIZ realization of our growing pow
ing power. We are, At length, ia white
population, IT least, not only their equal,
but their superior. Western Virginia To-
day has power 70 exact justice from the
East. WHY, then. does she not do so -
Because she is not yet quite true to her
self and her interests, and because she is
betrayed by some of her members in the
Convention, What can our people hope
forivheu such men IS Hall of Wetzel, reps
resent them.
We-do not say that there is no hope Of
obtaining equal rights in this conFention.
Success msy yet crown the efforts of those
gallant Western men who hse lighting for
them, but, as We havesaid before. we are not
.augaine. The Eastern members manifest
a determination to drive Us to the wall.
They have talen. and influence; and with
the weak Eneed Western men Ehom they
can manipulate, they may obtain numbers,
votes enough to defeat the West IN any
measure she may propose They may even
BY the unprecedented e1ertions they are
now making pass an Ordinance of secession,

it, But even if they can do all this, it is
but a beginning. They may vote Us out
OF the Union, but force US ont, never!-l
The West may be conquered, her power

To those gallant few who have stood up
and spoken the words of truth amid the
assaults of the cohorts of secession. ard
who have looked that dread power ia the
face without quailing, a grateful people

Ag- That leprons. abolition sheet, the St. Louis Democrat, 'howls dismally over the result of thd' election in that city on Monday last. Listen at it's musical wail- ings, which are actually refreshing:
 Yesterday Nasx day of humiliation and indelible shame for St. Louis. The proud city is at last subdued; she crouches at the feet of her tyrants, licking the hands that have smote her with many stripes. The disunion faction has at length worked its will and crushed out for the time being the proud spirit of the foremost city in the west. As the news is read this morning, near and far, every one will feel that another link is snapped in the chain that holds the border States in the Union, and while that news will create sadness in the minds of all loyal men, it will as certainly elate every traitor in the land.

manded. Unfortunately, our State Is al- vided into two sections. whose pursuits are totally issimiar-the grain and e: s'ofk. x r raising portion looks with no iFien4ly .h eye on the cotton planter. Indeed, m !'e % convention. sentiments were uttered wniVi' would have fallen more titly from MaSSa- chusetts, Legislators, than from southern gentlemen. me with the solemn conviction that slavery itself will pass through life and death struggle on the first Monday of next August. Our partial failure must no" stimulate to new efforts-revoutlons go not backwards; acs @iA succeed. The tune for action and sacrifice has come: ot this our secession brothers are convinced, and will carry into every corner of the otate the voice of our wrongs, that we may ad0 another star to the illustrious Seven.

Coop NEWS FROM VIRGlNIA.-We were indeed pleased to see the following para graph, which is from the pen of "Marion," Richmond correspondent of the Peters, burg Express, as it goes to confirm our remarks and hopes on yesterday, of the speedy secession of the Old Dominion, and the casting of her lot with the South, whether 1t be for veal or woe:
 "Secession, I can assure you, is growing apace in the Old Dominion. Yesterday three or four delegates in the convention offered resolutions recently adopted by their respective counties. But the end Is not yet. These instructions will continue to pour in, and you need not be at all sur prised if an ordinance of immediate seees- sion is adopted in less than two weeks by this very convention"

THE FIRST ABoLIrIoNlsT.- A Southern clergyman says that in all his reading of the Bible, he never succeeded in finding any ac- count of an aboltionist in it. We beg to differ with him, for we believe there is one referred to frequently-we mean Satan. He is the genuine, original, simon pure abolitionist. He has always baen in favor of ofo6olishtag everything that was s5od. He YVES the first advocate of the ''f her law" He tried the experiment in he en. and got kickei out fer his audacity, nd then undertook to content himself wit he reflection that it was 'bctter to reign i Iell than serve in heaven," which seems Ja be about the only consolation left to Lir oh now.-New Hampshire Democrat& $ a9- nrH

THE PUBLIC PLvNDER.-The wild hunt for office at Washington, at time when the existence of the government itself is in jeopardy, the N. Y. Express thinks re- minds one of vultures and carion eager to devour the carcass of some noble animal writhing in the agonies of death-or con iures mp pictures of owls, bats and vampires, hunting the ruins of some grand old edi6ce, tottering to decay. It is every man fol himself, nothing for the country. Selfish ness rules the hour; spoils everything.

Es- Greeley says: "Joshua R. Gid dings has been appointed United States Consul General to British America, to re- side at Montreal, with a salary of S4,000 year. As Mr. Giddings, at his advanced age, would not probably care to cross the Atlantic. the government has given him a most valuable and honorable foreign ap- pointment on this side of the water, re- cognition justly due to his eminent and life long service in the canse of freedom.

VIRGINIA CoMNG-It is evident Virginia will be with the South before six months The northern journals even concede that The Washington city correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
 "The news from Virginia continues to depress conservatives. It is admitted by all that the seces- sionists are gaining strength every day. and their ultimate triumph is generally conceded. The secession of Virginia will determine the vote of Maryland, the people of that States consider their interests inseparable from those of Virginia. Virginia go peaseably, but with Maryland it will be ditierenh ssithodt army from the Con federate States to drive out the federal government from w Washington" F
