Report Of Meeting at Hail's school -house,
..-- the 2Atf Of Deeember, 1861


Whereas, the Congress of the United States have
required Convention to be called in the State OF
Virginia for the purpose ei framing Constitution
for che State, n ~
And whereas, from the action, which has been
taken by similar conventions which have been
held in other Southern States, there are good
grounds to apprehend that the Virginia Conven-
ton in session, may recommend to the people
Constitution which will bring the State under
the control OF the negro race; ss'
And whereas, in the opinion Of this association,
such aresuit would be most disastrous to the best
interest OF the State, by transferring the political
power OF the State to the most Ignorant portion u
its population and ultimately .burthening the land
and property OF the people with enormous taxa
tion, imposed by those who would own but a sma |
portion OF the property OF the State, therefore "a
lst Belt resolved that, in the event of the adop-
ton of such Constitution by the Cow enai6n, we
pledge ourselves to each other and to our fellow
citizens generally, to make every fair and honor
able effort to deteat the ratification of such con-
stitution by the people; andto that end we will
not only vote against its ratification ourselves but
we will diligently exert ourselves to induce every
voter in our respective neighbofhoods to attend
the polls and record their votes against it.
I'd Resolved, that we will cherish the kindest
feelings towards the freedmen, taking care to ex-
piain 10 him how his best interest will be promo
led by clltiyating friendly relationship with the
people with whom they live. ..-s.f2.,aft -
Sd. Resolved, that our great aim should be to
escape negro supremacy in the State, and that we
will exert ourselves to the utmost extent of our
power and influence to save ourselves and our race
from this calamity and disgrace. sss.sEg44
On motion, the Chairman appointed leaders Of
tens whose duty it shall be to obtain signers to
the above w. f5l9si-,} arf& gsi
The following gentlemen were then appointed,

Tax FAsHIoSs.-A Paris Correspondent says
that gold and steel, satin trimmings and velvet
leaves, are the accessories ON everything in that
gay city. The New York Herald says. I'm Co.
liam it is almost impossible to distinguish what
the material of 9 suit is from the. e1iravagant
amount Of trimming bestowed on it. The Pari-
sian bellies now look like livery attaches, as cloth
costumes with lashing but gilt buttons are con-
.sdered distingue BY them. Boots and slippers are
going up in the price and heels an alarming exi
tent. and The unhappy wearers are in danger OF
hreakisg their pecks or their husbands exchequers
in attempting to keep in fashion. The wife of the
Minister Of the Interior wore ornaments from her
natiye Town At her reception, and displayed vel
cow satin robe With black streaks and gold blonde
on tho occasion. Madame Rouher's daughter at
smother fste wore very charming dress, having
an under petticoat Of white silk With enigmatical
figures ia blue around the bottom Of the SKIRT
and over it . blue tariatan trimmed with lace and
looped up with wild brier, the whole appearing
like blue and white yapor. At the Foreign Office
,ha ladies' IN command wore taffeta robes at their
recention. In the American metropolis the hand
asosnest costumes are seen on the streets, in the
drawing room aud in the carriage this winter
Tie cloaks really beautiful in shape and trim
