It also proposes to furnish copies for mailing at two cents each, and to republish the matter in such convenient form for binding as may be ordered by the Convention. Mr. Montague said that the Convention, by its vote, had determined to publish the proceedings, and had indicated the Enquirer as the organ of publication.

Mr. Neblett also returned to the gentleman from Barbour his sincere thanks, in the name of the people he represented, for his patriotic and eloquent remarks. Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, thanked both gentlemen for their complimentary allusions to the Northwest; but he was afraid the Northwest was not so sound as they thought. He came from a Northwestern county, near the Ohio river, and he would say that he was the oof the Father of his Country, he would offer the following resolution: Resolved, That when this Convention adjourn, it adjourn to meet again on Monday next. Mr. Fisher moved to amend by inserting "Saturday" in the place of Monday. Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, was opposed to adjourning over at all. It was rumored that the Peace Conference was about to conclude its labors, and he thought no time should be lost, in view of that fact. If the gentleman from Harrison (Mr. Carlile) wanted to he

When this State is ready to declare that she is in such imminent danger of invasion as will admit of no delay, then she has the power to make war herself; and he would say to the gentleman from Wetzel, that if his people preferred to unite with our enemies, he would bare his bosom to their spear. Mr. Willey, of Monongalia, wished to correct a serious misapprehension of the public sentiment of the Northwest. He was willing to listen in silence when such expressions came from the East alone; but when he heard views from Western members going to confirm the idea that there was any want of loyalty to the State and all her institutions, he felt it to be his duty to disabuse any mind that may have been poisoned by such insinuations. No people were more loyal than those of the Northwest; none more

Mr. Johnson expressed himself as satisfied with the reply. Committee on compensation. The President announced the following committee, under a resolution adopted yesterday, to inquire and report upon the compensation for the officers of the Convention: Messrs. Johnson of Richmond, Hubbard of Ohio, Gregory of King William, Coffman of Rockingham, and Sheffey of Smythe. Mr. Montague, of Middlesex, in the Chair. Report from the Committee on elections.

Mr. Haymond, from the Committee on Elections, submitted a report embodying "a list of the persons who seem to have been elected to the Convention, and the certificates of such election." The Committee add: John D. Sharp is elected from the county of Lee, but his seat in the Convention is contested by M. B. D. Lane, of said county of Lee, and his petition and notice of contest has been referred to the Committee for examination and decision, which contest has not yet been finally acted upon by the Committee. The Committee therefore report that the said John D. Sharp, having the official return of election for said county of Lee, is prima facie entitled to occupy a seat in the Convention, until otherwise ordered by the Convention, on the final decision of said contest. The report was laid on th

He alluded, in eloquent terms, to their record of the past, and said if it was a fault to love the Union, they had learned it from the great men who laid the foundation of the Government. Mr. W. quoted with much effect, in enlarging upon this point, from Washington's Farewell Address, and from the words of Clay after the passage of the Compromise measures of 1850. Mr. Goode, of Mecklenburg, made some remarks, in which he also dwelt upon the glories of the past; but said that his constituents, smarting under the wrongs of the Black Republican party, were prepared to resist. Mr. Woods' resolutions were then referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Washington's birthday. Mr. Carlile said that as the Committee on Federal Relations would not probably be prepared to report before Monday, previous to which there was not much necessity for debate

Printing the debates. The President stated, that in pursuance of the resolution adopted yesterday, he had an interview with the editors of the Richmond Enquirer, and had received from them a statement in writing. From want of knowledge of the subject, he felt incompetent to make the contract. He would therefore submit it to the Convention, to be referred to a committee, or for such other action as might be deemed proper. The communication was read by the Clerk.

ess Anne that his oft-repeated sentiment of fighting in the Union was received by his people with a thrill of joy. They were, however, sound on the question of State-Rights; but their locality did not favor the owning of slave property. The terminus of the underground railroad was opposite his county, and he had heard a man boasting that he was one of the engineers, and that he had liberated many slaves. He (Mr. H.) was in favor of presenting an ultimatum to the North, to last until the 1st of July, when, if it were refused, let the State go out, and take the Constitution with her. Mr. Wise regretted that his sentiment of fighting in the Union had been the cause of making any in the Northwest willing to submit to the wrongs which they now suffer.--He went on to show, from the Constitution of the United States, that his position of fighting in the Union was right.
