Full Text

The Richmond Whig of the 26th instant says: It will be seen from a debate in the Senate, that the convention bill has been again postponed, to Monday next. We hope and believe that this is the last postponement, and that on that day, its friends, an undoubted majority in the Senate, resisting all attempts to embarrass and endanger it, from amendment, will assert their superiority, and pass the bill. The determination of Mr. Cabell to vote for it has placed it in the power of its friends to pass it by and all question, (it was hardly doubtful before) and nothing can lose it, but amendments and getting it suspended between the two houses. The public may consider it as already passed, and rejoice, accordingly. We believe almost as confidently, upon its passing the ordeal of the people.
