(Great applause.) Mr. Carlile.--I now move that the galleries be cleared. A Member.--Except the ladies. Mr. Carlile.--Of course. They would be guilty of no such impropriety. Mr. Montague said if a vote was to be taken on that motion, he should call for the ayes and noes. Mr. Macfarland said that he knew the public assembled here respected law and order, and if a suitable admonition were given by the President, it would be effectual, without the necessity of clearing the galleries. Mr. Carlile withdraw his motion. Mr. Wise resumed his argument against the resolution.

Mr. Wise replied that he had trouble enough in the canvass of '55, in endeavoring to keep his friend, whom he was happy to see here, (Mr. Flournoy,) out of the office, to desire another encounter in an attempt to oust his successor. He would, however, say, that he would have much preferred to be Commander-in-Chief of the army of Virginia now, to holding that position during the John Brown raid. Mr. Wise thanked God that, in times like these, he was hot-blooded. He believed there was truth in the aphorism of Jackson--"By the Eternal! there is policy in rashness." But he did not approve of rashness without calculation. In closing, Mr. Wise said that if this Commonwealth ever submitted to the rule of Black Republicanism, he would turn from her, with weeping but not with despair, and rush to some sister Commonwealth and beg her to come and save the mother. On motion of Mr. Montague, the Convention adjourned.

Convention reconsidered the vote adopting the rules of the House of Delegates. Mr. Haymond had no objection to adopting the rules of the Convention of 1850; but the course proposed by his resolution had a precedent in that Convention. Mr. Nelson, of Clarke, said if the resolution were withdrawn, and the one he offered yesterday adopted, it would obviate all difficulty. Mr. Haymond declined to withdraw his resolution, which was then put to vote and adopted. The President was instructed to fill the blank with thirteen names, to constitute the Committee of Elections.

He claimed the right to oppose any objectionable measure, and kill it, if possible, in its early stages. This was no time to submit our action to an arbitrary power, (applause,) and he hoped no such resolution would be passed. Mr. Carlile,--If this applause in the galleries be continued, I shall be compelled to follow the example of a distinguished Virginia Senator, and move that they be cleared. Mr. Wise.--God save me from applause. I sometimes think, when the crowd claps its hands, that I have done something wrong. I hope, however, that the gentleman will follow the example of the Senator in another respect, and, like him, endeavor to save his country. (Great applause.)
