The Convention.
A resolution was offered yesterday, by Mr. Brown, of Preston, looking to financial arrangements in the possible event of a war. It was laid on the table. Mr. Clark, of Nelson, offered an anti-coercion resolution, which was referred to Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Carlile made a long speech on the pending resolutions to instruct the committee, in which he declared against the constitutionality of secession, held that the Government had a right to collect the revenue in the seceded States, and endorsed Lincoln's Inaugural Address, in the pacific tone of which he was "agreeably disappointed." Mr. Cox, of Chesterfield, made a brief reply, after which, on motion of Mr. Brent, of Alexandria, the Convention adjourned, without having made the slightest progress in the disposal of the questions before it.
