ational Convention, through which, of course, Virginia will be handed over to the tender mercies of a Black Republican majority. What the Convention does, or what it leaves undone, is no longer a matter of the slightest importance or interest. It may refuse to the people the right to elect their own delegates to the Border Convention; it may pass a measure for a Border Convention, or a National Convention, or a World's Convention; it may order the Millennium to occur forth with, or command the sun and moon to stand still; it may monopolize the sovereignty of the State or establish an elective monarchy, and elect one of its members king; or it may do nothing and go home-- it can no longer do mischief or do good. Thank Heaven for that. It is as powerless to control or shape or alter the great stream of events, as is a child in a skiff, floating on the Niagara river, to change or arrest the direction of the current, and make the cataract pause and bear it backward to the shore.
