Patton said he understood the object of the meeting was to nominate men who were prepared to say on the floor of the Convention that Virginia should withdraw from the Confederacy before the 4th of March, unless satisfactory guarantees were speedily given for the protection of Southern rights.--(Applause.) It was expected that those who were opposed to such action would not participate in the proceedings. Mr. Patton alluded to the remark of Whe office for which he was nominated. He should endeavor, as far as in him lay, to be true to the honor, true to the credit, and true to the ancient renown of Virginia. He was in favor of the withdrawal of the State from the Union before the 4th of March, (applause,) unless, before that time, ample guarantees were given for the protection of our rights within the Union. Mr. S. was opposed to any compromise unless it should be acceptable to those States which had already seceded. While Mr

But as this meeting was called for the specific purpose of nominating big guns for the Convention, it would scarcely be in order to bring in the big guns of the Government until after that business was disposed of. (Laughter.) The assemblage now remained comparatively quiet until Mr. R. T. Sale arose and shouted-- Have Americans lost all love for the name of America? (Cries of "Put him out!" "go it spread eagle!" and hisses.) I move, in order to amuse the meeting while we are waiting for the Committee, that some good reader be requested to read the farewell address of George Washington. (Sensation — cheers and hisses.) A Voice.--Put him out! Mr. Sale.--It is the last resort of a coward to say, put him out.

Mr. Watson then mounted the platform, and attempted to proceed, but every mention of Mr. Botts' name raised such a tempest that he consented to postpone his remarks until after the business of the meeting had been disposed of. The resolutions were then adopted by acclamation, and the Chairman called for nominations. Mr. White nominated George W. Randolph. Mr. George D. Wootton nominated John M. Patton. (The sound of Mr. Wootton's voice occasioned loud shouts from the galleries, but he manfully insisted upon his rights.) Mr. Wm. A. Jinkins nominated John O. Steger. Mr. H. L. Brooke nominated David I. Burr, but Mr. Burr at once declined. Mr. J. H. Chamberlayne nominated J. Randolph Tucker. At this stage of the proceedings, a row occurred in the eastern part of the house, but the Chai

The necessity of good order in the proceeding was urged, through the influence of which alone the proper weight and dignity could be given to a primary assemblage of the people. On motion of Mr. Brooke, Messrs. John Purcell, Thomas W. McCance, Thomas H. Wynne and James Alfred Jones were elected Vice Presidents. On motion of Mr. Todd, Mr. John Bell Bigger was appointed Secretary. Mr. Wm. F. Watson moved that Messrs. O. J. Wise, Wm. Old, Jr., and Robert Ridgway be also appointed Secretaries; but much noisy opposition being manifested, he withdrew the motion. Mr. John M.

Old, Jr., and Robert Ridgway be also appointed Secretaries; but much noisy opposition being manifested, he witively withdrew their names, and expressed a hope that the meeting would unite upon the three highest candidates. Mr. O. J. Wise read a letter from Col. Geo. W. Munford, withdrawing his name from the canvass. A good many declared their purposent from the city on a mission to South Carolina. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs. Wm. F. Watson, O. Jennings Wise and Jas. R. Crenshaw. The following preamble and resolution, prepared by Mr. Purcell, were offered by Mr. Wise, andMr. Wise, and adopted by acclamation: Whereas, The Legislature of Virginia has formally declared that any act of coercion, directed against a Southern State, will be regarded by Virginia as act of war, and immediately resisted with all the means in our power

or the disorderly conduct of her citizens. I ask those who are disturbing this meeting, if they have not respect enough for their city to allow a portion of the citizens to express their opinions peaceably? Mr. Patton appealed to Mr. Johnson's friends to respond to his own sentiments, and observe the rules of propriety. The Chairman requested everybody to sit down. Twelve tellers having been appointed, they proceeded to collect the ballots, while great confusion prevailed. Mr. O'Neil was observed to gesticulate with tremendous energy. Cries of "put him out!" "order!" The fall of the stove pipe at this time increased the excitement. Presently, shouts of "Fight!" from another quarter, turned attention in that direction. The crowd in the galleries kept up a hooting and whistling, and Mr. Allen V. Lyon moved that the galleries be cleared, but consented to withdraw it. Mr. R. B. Ward said he was not of this meeting, nor taking any part in it. ("Yes you are — sit dow

The Chairman now announced the return of the teller, and the result of the ballot was proclaimed, as follows: Whole number of votes, 431. Necessary for a choice, 216. George W.

It was expected that those who were opposed to such action would not participate in the proceedings. Mr. Patton alluded to the remark of Wendell Phillips in Boston, that "poor old Virginia had gone under — there was nothing left of her but bubbles." For this reflection upon the inactivity of Virginia in this crisis we were indebted to the Legislature, and he hoped to God that body had misrepresented the sentiments of the people. (Cheers.) After some further remarks, Mr. Patton introduced the following resolutions: Resolved, That the meeting now proceed to vote by ballot for candidates to represent the city of Richmond in the approa
