Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Lynchburg. Lynchburg,Va., March 7th. As I advised you by telegraph last evening, a petition was put in circulation here yesterday, by the immediate supporters of Messrs. Speed and Slaughter, our delegates to the Convention, instructing them to vote for an ordinance of secession immediately. Long before night it was numerously signed by them, and would have received any number of signatures from other parties but for the fact that it was regarded in the light of instruction. and confined only to the immediate supporters of these gentlemen. It is needless to state that this great revolution in feeling was caused by the coercive course of policy laid down by the leader of the Satanic imps who disgrace the city named in honor of the immortal Washington. The signs of the times in some other respects indicate that we are rushing rapidly towards secession. Action was taken Tuesday last, in Pendleton Division, Sons of Temper

Resolved, That a committee of twelve members, to be selected in equal numbers from the four great divisions of the State, be appointed to apportion representation in the Senate according to the number of the qualified voters in the Commonwealth, and that they report amendments of the 4th Article of the Constitution accordingly. Some discussion ensued upon a point of order, it being suggested that similar resolutions, previously offered by Messrs. Haymond, of Marion, and Turner, of Jackson, and laid upon the table. Mr. Slaughter, of Campbell, moved that the resolutions just offered be laid upon the table, and on this motion Mr. Willey demanded the yeas and nays; but without further action. On motion of Mr. Early, of Franklin, the Convention adjourned to meet again on Monday, at half-past 10 o'clock.

In consideration of the small attendance of members, Mr. Brown, of Preston, appealed to the gentleman from Campbell to withdraw his motion to lay the resolutions on the table, Mr. Slaughter declined to withdraw the motion. He believed that the resolutions were like a firebrand thrown into the midst of the Convention, to inflame excitement and produce dissension. Mr. Clemens, of Ohio, rose to a question of order. He said tnce — sufficient to constitute a quorum. Several members, it was announced, were on the sick list; some were engaged in other duties at the Legislature; some were in the Committee on Federal Relations, and some absent from the city. Mr. Slaughter now consented to withdraw his motion to lay the resolutions on the table. Mr. Brown proceeded to address the Convention upon the subject of the resolutions,commencing with a defence of the institution of slavery. He contended that the k

Equality of Taxation. The President said the pending question, at the adjournment yesterday, was on the motion of Mr. Goode, of Mecklenburg, to lay on the table the resolutions offered on Monday last, by Mr. Willey, of Monongalia. Mr. Slaughter, of Lynchburg, appealed to Mr. Goode to withdraw his motion, in order that he might make an appeal to the Western members to postpone the discussion of the question until the Convention meets in the fall. Mr. Goode consented to withdraw ion. He had no desire to cut off debate, but considered the present a most inopportune time for the discussion of the question. It was like a firebrand thrown in here, to inflame excitement, and distract the counsels of the Convention. Mr. Slaughter then appealed to his friends from the West to come forward and withdraw this agitating subject from the Convention.--Their object could be better attained at an adjourned session. He hoped the call for the yeas and nays would be withdrawn, a

The father replies, "go away, child; break it all to pieces, and then bring it to me and I will mend it." [Laughter.] His (Mr. R's) idea was to mend the Union before any more of the limbs were broken off. The course of William L. Yancey was commented on by the speaker with considerable severity, and an extract from his Slaughter letter produced to show that in 1858 his purpose was to dissolve the Union; while Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, was quite as unequivocally complimented. Caleb Cushing came in for a share of denunciation, Mr.Rives expressing a doubt whether he would have supported Douglas for the Presidency if he had been nominated by a Convention over which Cushing presided. He preserved the line of argument and illustration with which all are familiar who have listened to his campaign speeches. A r
