The Tory Convention.

--This body, in which, (the Northern papers say,) forty counties were represented, met at Wheeling on the 11th inst. Arthur J. Boreman was chosen permanent chairman. The following dispatch tells us what was done on the second day:

Wheeling, June 12, P. M.--This afternoon a committee of thirteen was appointed to prepare business for the Convention. Resolutions were submitted for the separation of Western Virginia from the State, and the formation of a new State, the preparatory arrangements to be submitted to a Legislature, to be convened in this city. This mode is preferred, in order to avoid a burthensome State debt, which Western Virginia had no part in incurring.
