CALL OF A CONVENTION. [SECOND SERIES.] No. 2. Letters from a gentleman in the uftfier coun try to his friend in Richmond. A just estimate of the many and weighty cons derations presenting themselves in favor of a call < f a Convention for the purpose of equalizing the representation, l d to sangu ne expectations of the suc cess of tit it proportion in ino hue House of Delegates. Hut the Western people saw with astonishment, that the measure, though sanctioned by the voice of the real majority of the State, ag in received its quietus in the Legislature. In despair of affecting a Legitimate object, by the least objectionable means, some appear tu be disposed to make an effnt, winch, if suc cessful, would lead to confusion, but which will probably fail, at present, f. r want of necessary concert. Fur myself, Ido not despair: 1 cannot settle down upon the belief tnat the people of the Low Country, among whom 1 was born and educat e!, whom I know to possess many virtues, «tu . wuu value ur i uvrii puli j ill rlgPCS, too much to underrate those of others, will continue to s motion the gross violation of the privileges of one halt of their Fel low-Citizens. And wit it are the reasons that can be plausibly assig; ed for the p> rtinaciiy with which tiie proposal to call a convention has been of late rejected. Will the ad versaries of that measure encountr r the strong arguments in its favour, by alledg. mg that no practical evils have resulted from the inequality ? Behold ! I shew you one—one of the gt- ate t magnitude—one, which in a Government like ours, w hich as a mirror reflects the opinions <'f the. peo ple, ts of the most momentous character. I'he people feel it as a grievance—they h olt upon it as a wrong—they regard it as an oppression. Is no. this enough i—It ts not the feeble voice of a few discontented and factious men that meets our ear ; it s the loud but r spectful remonstrance o one half of the State. It would be to oit e purpose, that a poli ical quack should as sure them they suff. r nothing ; th t the evils of which they c mplaio are imagina ry, ar.d that they enjoy as much liberty and as much weight as if they, had a full representation. *16 such empiricism they would reply by some strong and decisive evidences <>t the reality of the injury they sustain. It might not be difficult to pre sent some striking instances of the prejudi cial effects of this inequality. But 1 am n ither disposed to .nlta’e tl. * ahead/ festering wound, nor do I think it necessa ry to the question. I; is enough that those who have a right to complain, think that they h tve reaxon, 1. was enough for oui forefathers, that unlawful burdens were imposed. It was not of the we ght that they complained. It belongs alone to thu sluggish slave of East-m Despotism to bend under oppression so long as nature is capable of enduring it. Ic is the part of the Freeman to assert h s lights with mo deration but with firmness, and to press the constitut. d authorities of his Country, to redress a grievance, before it bccon.es intoh ruble. Ii there coukl ever have been a doubt as to the practical evil of the present state of representation, that doubt must now sub side. Whether it be a practical evil to the Western peo; le nr not, it has now become a practical evil TO THE STATE. It is the prolific parent of all the discontents & ill'humours, and heart-bummers, with which heaven permits us at the present moment to he afflicted. It is a teady in strument in the hands of any and every factious and disappointed man whose pri vate views may be promoted by a ferment and commotion in society. The Catalines and Cxthegus’s, (if such there be) can re quire no move powerful eng nc ; they can wish no other torch of discord. So long t.s we suffer the same growing evils to conti nue, (for they grow with the rapidly in creasing disproportion of the population of Upper and Lower Virginia,) so long as we permit the harmony of society to be dis turbed by this jarring principle, so long shall we find ambitious and designing men always ready to strike the discordant Ml iug. It is an evil which wc ought promptly to remedy. The disease is at its crisis. The disorder mu-t not now be tampered with. A prompt arul derisive redress at the pre Suit moment would at once restore that harmony, which inauspicious events so es sentially interrupted. On the contrary, a failure to attend to the just expectations of the Western people, will, it is feared,urge them on, step by »t -p, in a ruinous and disastrous course. To what it may lead, “ who knows, save he iven ?” Clouds and darkness hang over its termination. An amendment of the Constitution which would equalize our representation, can with no propriety be resisted, on the ground of danger from innovation. Re form alone is now contempt •t'-d ; revolu tion is meditated by none. To oppose re form because it may be carried too far, is to use the hacknied argument of borough mongers and protestnnt bigots, in support of Parliamentary abu-.es and Catlvhc per secution. The tendency of democracies, it is true, is vacillation and perpetual change. The vice of despotism is a scrupulous and superstitious adherence to old abuses, and a decided repugnance to whatever bears the semblance of reform. It is f(.r 11s to a vend these equally dangerous extremes. The steady character of our (iovemnunt for forty years, sufficiently acquits us of a light and frivolous love of charge, it te • mams for us to throw olTthe imputation of a too scrupulous aversion to amend our constitution, which we shall certainly and deservedly’ incur, by rigidly refusing to correct this crying injustice. There is the l-.’ss reason for opposing a I speedy corrective of the abuse so much* complained of, as it is manifest that the present state of things cannot long conti nue : Or, does it enter into the calculati ons of those who wiil not assent to the re d.ess, that the rapidly increasing popula tion of the Western Country are never to enj-y hat privilege of equal repr^s-ntrition which every wh:g on both sides of th-* Atl mlic, challenges as his birthright ? I' it not manifest that . t some future period, a reform must t keplace ; that when the in equality becomes y< t more glaring—when the wi stern lreem* n shall be more nutne - rnus than theirlowland brethren, the spirit t the people will deina ui and enforce re form * And is it a prin: iple with us that the public sentiment shall not be obeyed, until it speaks to us in a voice of thunder f Is such tho doctrine either of lhatprudencc which scrupulously avoids every occasion of popular excitement, or of that republi canism which considers the legislative bo dy as a political barometer—yielding upon every occasion to the slightest pressure of public opinion ? Whether we wish to pre serve in their purity, the principles of our representative democracy, or even to save the vessel of state from being stranded, a miseral le wreck amidst the temp.st of public commotion—we must discard the i dea of opposing ref-rm, until it is forced upon the government by the 'Tmtours cf the people. It the occasion suits not, we may temporize while temporizing will be b -me ; bat as ther ■ is nothing more to lie dreaded in a popul ir government, th n the just discontents of the pe« pie, it is folly to trifle with their complaints ; it is worse than foi'y to turn an adder’s ear to their remonstrances. The presentis, indeed, a period peculi arly auspicious for the contemplated re form. The prof *und peace which has succeeded cur short,but in t inglorious war; the annihilation of party ; the opportunity which has been afforded the remote inh bitants of t!ie state, in the pursuit of the same common object, in the deft nee of the same common country, and in the zealous and patriotic repulse of a common foe, to cultivate mutual esteem, and to draw clo ser lire ties whir h bind them together, all conspire to render the pre-ent the most favorable period for the adjustment of th s delicate and interesting question. You will meet us in Convention witn a glowing re collection of that ardour and promptitude, with which we ranged ourselves under the stine banner, and br-ved the same eon.* man danger with yodrselves ; you wdl not forget the robust, and active, and gallant yomU of your mountains—nor be insens'b e to the degree in which they coutrbuted to the real strength and physical power of your stats—while, on our part, we shall remember with warm hearts, your frank and manly deportment, your generous courtesy, your ai d ut spirit, and all the no ble qualities which have exalted the Yir ’ginia character, and raised the reputation of her people to the highest elevation.— We shall, within the wads of that Assem bly, meet with many a l.nnd whom we have known in the field oi in tke camp, & grasp the hand of many a comrade, whose last buiscuit we have shared,cr who d.d lap us in hi igarment*, ami did give himtclf Jill tain ami naked to the numb cold night. Jf with these glowing recollections, if with ihe warn. c... ..h ch they inspire, f w th the mutu 1 sympathy of men, whose friendship have sprung up in the camp, the fruitful so 1 of vigorous at-. tachnr.ent—we are unfit to enter upon the adjustmeotof our rights ; the wary states man may wait in vain for the propitious moment. It from our remembr. nee “ bru tish wrath” shall have “ sinfuliy plucked” all that can bind us to each other, if you can be still disposed to grant too little, if we shall manifest a temper to grasp too much, then, indeed, we may fear, that in political convulsion, must terminate that government which is formed of such dis cordant and il-lassorted materials. Hut 1 cannot, I will not believe it. I will not be lieve that we, of either section of the coun try, wou’d sully the fair name of our state, or s.ip the foundations of her greatness by .. e-Ut.Ul.t3 would exult, whilst her friends would we< p in anguish and despair. I know that it is objected, that this mat ter is now urged with more than accus tomed vehemen. e, through the instrumen tality of the disappointed unchartered banks. For myself, 1 ain not one of their confederates, i bold no stock, I am no petitioner, 1 am no director, I am not one of their debtors. 1 viewed their establish ment as an outrage, and I have always r iscd my feeble voice against them._ Whether the public convenience and ne cessities required them or not, a due res pect fur the law, the t'rent bond of Free Governments, ought to have prevented the erection of such institutions. 1 rejoice that charters were refused them. It banks are necessary, let charters be granted and new subscriptionsopem-d—but let not f. v urs Ik* lavished upon the associated vio lators of the statute book. But tiiis objection recoils upon the party which uses it. It is no argument against constitutional reform—that disappointed men With views of private emolument_ perhaps, of personal aggrandizement, are stimulating the people to demand it —But it is an argument, fair,weighty and irre sistible in favor of the Correction, that so long as the abuse continues, so long will it be seized by the discontented and design ing, as an instrument suited to their views. Wnat these views may be, it is not for me to divine ; whether their efforts are to be con fried to the ostensible objects, or whe ther, i.i the present ebb of party feeling, the federal leaders who have warm y en* listed ill behalf of a convention, expect to ingrati.ita tlicmselvc9 thereby with the people, rind thus, at a future day, to turn the tide in their favor, which has hithrto set against them, time perhaps, willdcve lope. in whatever light we view it the dictates of a soun 1 policy, conspire to recommend, that we should not by a back wardness in conceding what justice de mands, alienate the affections of the pro file and strengthen the power of the fac tious. I believe that the inequality in the rrsentati'in is too generally admitted to require a detail of facts to establish its ex istence . while the counties of Frederick And Warwick enjoy the s ims weight in the Legislature, though the former has fifteen times the population of the latter, a child v. ill perceive, and a boy of ten years of age, will calculate the inequality, lint when the Senatorial representation isbvw't into view, one can scarcely restrain our astonishment at the forbearance with which tiie monstrous disproportion has been b^me. More than two-fifths ol' the white pop. t on are represented by four Sen itors, *md less than three-fifths by twenty. The f r nier have six 1 ss than they are entitled to ; the latter six more, making a difference ol twklv K' vot s in h smalt body of twen tjr-fWir persons. Such a st ite cf things **C;mnot and will not enme to good.” Pe ter Piymley bad scan t iy more reason to com pi tin cl'ih-* disabilities of Irish C tho lics, and the Whig r formers of Logined have not more justice in tlieir clamours against the rotten boroughs of old Sarum and Melcomb regis. And yet we have all with one voice j iiud in reprobation of the Bribsli system—forgetting the maxim of our holy r*i*gi n, which enjoins upon us to “ pluck, the beam from our own eye, be fore wc espy the mote that is in our broth er’s.’* I know that some have advanced in pal liation of the inequality of which we com plair.,the opinion that rep; ev matin should be apportioned, not to tiie number of inha bitairs alone, but to numbers uii I tax .d >n combined 1 am at a Lss to conceive a notion morn utterly subversive of everv principle of republican institutions than this. Ast-xitioti (wi en prop rly ngula t d) is in proportion ti property ; su :h a s he mi of rr p, esent .tion would apportion the weight ia the Legislative b> y to II calf ft, as well as to numbers. Upon sncli a principle, it would not be difficult to jus t y the worst fe itures f the British Con stitiitinu. I lie Dukes cl Northumberland, and of Devovsliir^, and of Bedford, and of Rutland, with revenues amounting 11 two millions of dollars, and estates exceeding fifty millions, might well challenge to the nr selves a right to a representative in Parliament, upon a principle whi h is the basis of an aristoctacy of wealth. We acknowledge none such. Ttic majority with us must govern.— 1 iie majority of men ; m intelligent oe ngs, not ttie majority tj acres, nor the preponderance of gold. The people of the Low Countiy, in their turn, complain that the land tax presses "'itli undue weight on th. it- shoulders, and that no disposition is manifested in the west to correct the disproportion. Perhaps in some future letter, I may trouble yr.u with my crude speculations on that subject.Suf fice it now to remark, that while you have a comm ending majority in both hou ses, it is your own fault if the evil be not corrected. The failure to correct it, can on your part, proceed only from an aversion to enter upon a system of reform that must terminate in a surrender of the un iue weight which you possess in the Counci s ot the State. And yet 1 cannot but hope that the spirit which has dictati cl this narrow and illiberal, and unwise policy, is passim* away.—A policy that spreads discontent throughout the lan !—that leaves to tli^ lo ' lander ;<> »< ii*(.i .m of hia burdens, and :o t!i*- mountaineer to fret at his degrada tion ; i pod v, that saps the found tion of our lioerties, bee use- it sets at naught t e principles we affect to rever m e a policy that, instead of d. awing closer the bon is of attachment between tue rem tein habit.tn*s of the state, throws among them tin; ippl of Lc.ird, and a ids to s me is sim i * ity i f interests a pfin iple of d;ruu i n, far more pow if»l than those to which n itu*-.d r i- s. have giv. n ria-.

I am, my dear sir, yours, See. r. p. RIGHT AT LAST. A measure is about to be taken, which will, in all probability, bring all matters to rights—a measure which has frequently been insisted on, in this paper, as the only one tab ulated to brinorthe Hank« i.. payments, with as little delay and as little pressure noon tne community us possible. The principle, which has b.en uniformly pressed, is, that the II nks should fircfiarc for specie payments, but that it was neces sary for them, being parts of bat one ge neral system, to move together in harmo ny and concert. To produce this concei t of measures, no step seemed to be more expedient, than to have a Convention t Deputies from the Banka, who sh id«i meet together at some central situation, to arrange the tnnt s and modes of resu ming specie payments. It giVt s us the u most pleasure to learn, that such a plan i» now in agitation. The Virginia Bank have received a letter from their correspondent in Baltimore, informing them ot the B inks of Balt more and those ol New \ oik, having been invited by the Banksof Piiiladelphia, to s-nd, eac h of them, th ee delegates to Philadelphia, to form a Convention in the tariy part of Au gust, to devise the best inodes of proceed ing. The letter then proceeds to enquire, whether the Bank of Virginia, will be able to resume specie payments by the 15th of November j and it not, at what time they mean to do so. We have no hesitation in saying, that the Banks of Virginia, aid indeed all the char tered Banks of the IJ. S. which h -ve sm pended p ymenf, ought to f .11 into this mea sure, and appear by deputy. I,, what o ther mode can the best time and manner ol resuming payment, be so well rgrecd up on f r In doing this, th<*y ought to be exclusive lv governed by their own situation and thatofthe country at large. They o ighi not to lie restricted to the'20th day of ?> bruery—-when the U. S. t ,xe* wid be IK longer colic table but iu specie or specie notes—because Congress will cventualh shape their measures by those of the banks and change their day tithe day fixed oi by the Convention. All that they , an n quire, Isf to be convinced that the Bank are in earnest—They will, of ebura-, no refuse extending the furlough of rile Bank a few months longer. This measure is admirably calrilated t, relieve tne Virginia banks from all yin bar rr.ssmelit.
