The stnte Cnnrentinn-

The State Convention is to assemble in
this city on the Gath of the present month,
and as there is not likely 10 be any bust
ness Of importance before it, we trust that
some Union delegate, IL there be one in tie
body, Will give US a good cd fashioned
Union speech. We have had one session Of
the convention aud two of the Legislature,
a0d the hrst Union speech is q be made
since the surrender. We don't want any
cold, studied defamation from that class OF
men that are afraid TO refer with any
warmth TO the Stars and Str pes, or the
glorious Union Of MksHINGtoN, for fear OF
offending me chivalrlc freud of the de-
funct Conlederacy-we want a gushing.
burning, eloquent Union speech, such as we
have bad IN the capitol from the eloquent
Carr, before he was bitten BY the viper Of
secession, and from the ismented Miller,
who never lost the faith-Raicigh PROGRESS.
The editor Of the Progress was a
candidate to represent his county in
the Convention Unfortunately he was
beaten. Had he succeeded, he might
supply the want Of which he speaks A
good Union speech, one Of the older
SORT Of the times when mems souls
were fired with genuine affection for
the old flag, and could honestly ex.
claim
Forever float that 'andard shee;"
would be something to cheer and in
spire But the race Of Union orators
appears TO be almost wholly extinct in
the South, or driven by the sad state Of
affairs into pleasant obscurity. The
men who deolaim most loudly on be
half of the old flag now, overflow with
ali uncharitableness, and in the vim
dictiyeness of their natures, would
make it odious rs the symbol Of OBJ
preston, usurpation, inequality, and all
that is bad in government and foul in
human character. Until the times turn
down these boisterous knaves, and, pa
triotic, earnest, honorable men take
the places they disgraee, there VIII be
little Of the hallowed FIRE of the past
exhibited. Bide your time, Progress;
maybe you viii live to see the holy
flames on the old affairs burning bril-
hantly as Of gore.

Dear Sir: The people
Of the North need not quarrel over the IN
stitution o, slavery. WHAT Vice President
steph ms Acknowledges the cornerstone Of
the ConfederaAy is a ready knocked out.
Slavery is already dead and cannot be resur-
rected II would take a standing army TO
man ain slavery in the South if we were t.
make psace to-day, guaranteeing to the
South all their former constitutional privi-
legCs. I never was an abOlitionist; not
even what could be called auti-slavery; but
! try to Judge fairly and honestly, and II
became patent to my mind early in the re-
bellion that the North and South could
new live at peace with each 0 her except
as one nation, and that without slavery.
As anxious as I am TO see peace established,
l would not, therefore, be willing to see any
settlement until this question Is forever set
tied. Your sincere friend,

Important Geographical Question THE
PIOprietOTship OF the Potomac.

The Richmond Wing brings to light an inte.
resting document, written by Colonel Angus
Mcdonald, March II, 1862, tor presentation to
the Virginia Legislature, by whom he had been
sent to England to consult records, books, and
maps, and otherwise investigate the subject of
the boundaries of Virginia, especially the line
between that State and Maryland.
For reasons of state policy, this document
was never published or acted on; for the war
was then racing, and it contained conclusions
relative to the boundary line between Maryland
and Virginia which, il published, would have
been calculated 10 create some unpleasantness
IN the minds OF Marylanders. Now, however, 1t
is not improper ITO publish what Colonel Nc
Donald says with regard TO what may be termed
the proprietorship OF the Potomac, as follows:-
''The true boundary line then, between Maryland
and Virginia. as shown by the Maryland charter and
supported by history is line drawn from tue point
where the meridian OF the source OF the north branch
