A STATE CoNvESTIoY.-We urge upon our
people in all the counties of Virginia to elect
their best and wisest men to attend the Con-
veution to be held in Richmond on the 18th of
December. Only few days at most will be
required to agree on some plan of action. and
this, through the medium of the machinery
then devised. can be communicated everywhere
for the direction and information of the people.
Let the men of Virginia bear in mind that this
movement is made for the succor and relief of
their noble State from desperate extremity
and pressing peril. There is but one way to
defeat the Constitution. and that is by casting
against it the unanimous white vote of the
State There is but one way of commanding
that vote, which is by prompt and thorough
organization. We urge a jealous and devoted
support of this movement If we fail this
time, the foe is in our citadel, and the last
hope will have left -LyRcb6iug Republican,
