Hon. Mr. Daniel, of Baltimore, offered a resolution asking for a joint committee on the part of the Convention and Conference to prepare business, that there might be harmony of action.

On motion, it was laid on the table.
The Convention then adjourned to meet tomorrow at 9 ½ A. M.

ity now to show to the world whether he and his friends have been sincere.
It is understood in Washington — so save the correspondent of the Courtier --that Anderson and his command are to strengthen Fortress Monroe.
Yes, strengthen your forts.
Virginia is not quite to be relied on yet by the Black masters.
She has shown lately some little sign of life and pluck; hence, she is not exactly as tame as she ought to be. Some few signs of the return of the Virginia blooded stock — perhaps Daniel, of the Examiner -- coming home just now, may have affected the nerves of the "rightful masters," and some plucky speeches in your Convention, all put together, may have alarmed your masters, and they now consider "an ounce of prevention better than a pound of cure;" therefore they will make the forts of Virginia safe, and bind you a little tighter — put on another handcuff and a few more ankle chains.
No, no; Virginia is not yet exactly subdued — too many Wises, Goodes, Randolphs, Mortons

He believed that cessation of the slavery agitation would check fanaticism and disunion.
John C. Harkness, of Washington city, said that hither to he had been laboring for division.
Now he must cease those efforts.
In view of the fact that without compromise we must be ruined, he was for delay.
He then offered a substitute for all plans before the Convention.
This paper proposed one year's delay, and pledged for separation then, if the fullest redress was not given.
Mr. Daniel, of Baltimore, was willing to go for any plan by which separation could be delayed one year — otherwise the plough share is run through Baltimore and the District of Columbia.
The old, honored men of Baltimore are now on their knees pleading with God for the unity of the Church.
Brethren, don't go yet!
He quoted from Calhoun, Clay, and Webster, to show the disastrous effects of separation in Church upon the State.

Baker vs. Wise, Governor, &c.
--This case, which has been pending for some time before the Supreme Court of Appeals, was finally disposed of on yesterday.
It arose upon the question whether the law of Virginia, requiring an inspection of vessels owned in whole or in part by non-residents, and bound to any Northern port, was in conflict with the Bill of Rights of Virginia, or the Constitution of the United States.
The Court held that the law did not conflict with either, and was in all respects constitutional and valid.
Judge Daniel delivered an able and learned opinion, and Judges Moncure, Lee and Robertson concurred.
Allen, President, dissented.
The cause was argued sometime ago, by Tazewell Taylor, Esq., of Norfolk, Judge William W. Crump, of Richmond, and --Johnson, Esq., of Boston, for the appellant; and by the Attorney General for the appellee.
Judgment affirmed.
of sectionalism mortal to the Union.
In the whole history of popular delusions there has been no instance of such persistent and stubborn self-deception as that which a portion of the people of the border States have practiced upon themselves in regard to the existence of a conservative sentiment at the North.
That there is a conservative sentiment at the North.
That there is a conservative continent in that section, is not to be denied; there were a few just men in Sodom; there was a Daniel in Babylon, left by Jehovah to pronounce the Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin upon Belshazzer the King; but while every morning's dispatches bring tidings of growing and increased hostility in that section, the counter evidences of a conservative reaction are like angel's visits — few, and far between.
It was the pithy remark of John Brown, in his marginal notes upon Ward Bercher's sermon, wherein that truculent divine was saying what ought to be done with slaveholders, "why don't he come an

Through the Captain of our steamer that conveyed them to Monroe, we learn more about the Harriet Lane. Lieut. Daniel, of our Regiment, learns from our Lieutenant Colonel, who had a conversation with the Captain of the steamer, who went aboard the Harriet on his visit to the Fortress, that three shots certainly took effect, one of them bursting the magazine all to pieces.
The commander of the Harriet Lane (with whom he is well acquainted) informed him that six men were wounded during the engagement at Pig Point, but would not say that any were killed.
I learn from our Lieutenant Colonel that the above
