ACCoRDINol to the recent expose by

RIcHNoND, Jan. 15.-In the Conven.

Conservative members against Presi.

and refused an appeal from his decision
yesterday, upon the visit of Gen. But

The second article of the Constitu-

the basis of the voting population, DC.
The frat section makes all persons
born or naturRlized in the United

of the State wherein they reside, pro.
hibits the infringement of their pFiVi-

representation to the several States
according to the whole pop1lR-

The Secession wing of the Wheeling
Democracy seem to be acting on the
idea that the country can be carried
backward from its position on the war
question, and that the time is at hand
when their own sympathies will become
popular and dominant. They have
manifested something of their confi-
dence in this idea in their late nomina-
lions. It is possible that on election
day they may find out that they have
miscalculated the temper of the times.
There are some persons now, just as
