The Executive Committe of the Conven-
ton has adjourned till Wednesday, the
10th inst, to allow time for additional re-
turns to be received.
Popular Opinion In West Virginia.
We give to-day some further official re-
turns of the vote on the Amended Cousti-
tuition. Yesterday morning there remained
twenty counties to hear from and the vote
stood 24.874 in favor to $50 against the
Amendment. This morning only fourteen
couoties remain to be heard from and the
vote is swelled to "a. 1856 for and ST. against
the Amendment. The counties to come
will not cast large vote. Their situation
is, for the most part, SO exposed, that the
vote will be very light. Probably in some
of them it will be nothing at all. Week
pect 10 see the figures ultimately foot up
about %. 900. The vote against the
amendment will probably not run over
SEQ, all told.
We were mistaken yesterday morning in
putting down the vote on the Constitution
last spring at 1921. We copied our fig
ures from the Tribune Almanac and they
are not official we find. The official re-
turns as furnished to Congress along with
the certified Constitution were 1882 for,
and 5l4 against the Constitution The dis
parity between the vote on the Coustitu-
ton and the vote on the Amendment will
be about 10000; that is the Amendment
will prove to be ten thousand votes
stronger than the Constitution was with
out an emancipation clause in it.
We desire to call the attention of Mr..
Oarlile aud all the cOpperheads to this fact
Last December that gentleman told one of
the Commissioners at Washington that the
people would vote down the amendment
overwhelmingly. The result is, they voted
it up overwhelmingly. This shows how
much Carlile knew about the people. Ee
thought he was on the popular side, SO did
Clemens and all the whole crowd, who
jumped into the wagon at the last moment,
taking the result of the city election here
as their cue.
No man of sNgacity ever supposed that the
people of West Virginia meant anything
else than free State by wanting new
State. They didu't need new niger
State. What advantage would that have
beenP They wanted a new free State, and
such men as Carlile, because they were for
niggers, couldn't understand why the PEG
pie were not also.
Poor Hardy, when he was here trying to
keep Carlile's sinking head above water,
saw what the inevitable result was going to
be. He accordingly made two or three
sPasmodic attempts to cut loose from poor
Carlile's dead weight policy and go in for
the new State, the plan being to pass the
original advocates of it under full sail
aud so come in at the polls right side
up for getting control of the oreani-
cation of the State. Hardy had sapaci,y
enough to see that he must go under in
opposing the New State and Carlile had
not. That was the difference, and as Car
lille had hired Hardy and was also running
the Press, why poor Hardy bad to recaut
his come-out for the New State and eat IN
all his words. No wonder he quit the
concern in disgust. We dare say he has
as bad an opinion to-day of CarIile as we
have. In fact we learn that most of the
relics of the late establishment express
themselves to the effect that Carlile is the
ne Plus ultra of an inscriptions Jeremy
DiddIer, save only in the matter of practi-
cal sense, thing in which he is as deficient
as ChinGmau.
By the way we have some curiosity to
see that number of the Clarksburg Patriot
which shall contain the official vote. The
editorial comments on it will be buoyant
wen bet. We hope the vote agains, the
amendment wont be run up into "billions"
as the national debt was the other dav
1t will be right hard to run up ST. votes
into many billions, out Garlic by the
proper discounts and the application of his
wonderful rule for estimating the value of
greeubaoks, can crowd it very close. It
will not look much like poor little 571
after it comes out of his hands. AS the
figures stand we hear they fall dead on the
spirits of The COpperheads. They will need
an immensity of cooking" before they can
be given much relish. The "uncast vote"
as Clemens called it, will be memorable
vote in the annals of West Virginia for the
year 1863. Hereafter when fellow wants
