The talented editor of the Richmond Wing

The talented editor Of the Richmond Whir
tMr. fLEasASrs) thus discourses upon the
probable effects Of using force to maintain
the Union:
1--WE argue the question exclusively n. one
OF policy. We protest frst-wc prote,, las,
we protest forever, against force, an any
possible contingency. Blood she'd i'm south
Carolina, would be the blood of Abel. and
entail the curse of Cain. Blood shed there
would be the signal TO upshcath the sword
Throughout the entire South. The ardent
youth Of these Regions too near tho Sun.
would rush IN crowds 10 the standard Of the
Palmetto. The Federal Government would
be reduced to the necessity Of backing out
-fram the contest with ignominy. OF raising
army after army. They would DC met Al The
Potomac, and tho whole Atlantic country
would infallibly be speedily in arms Little
do the doits who arc calling for force, dream
Of tie horrible calamities which they are in
vohing on their country. II Is an easy thing
To SIT in an arn chair, and make this rcouis, :
tion but let the tidings Of the first blood
split, rcsound through this land. and those
persons will call on the mountains 10 hide
them. IL is dreadful mistake TO imagine
That the war once kind!cd, South Carolina
only would feel lis scourge. Thousands upon
thousands, who are now inclincd 10 side with
the right OF the Federal Government. would
IN that case declare Tor the south. Sucli-Ste
clarations may be heard every day. We
should have war IN this State--in every coun.
~. In the name then Of all that is most bo-
iy, let those who are backing the supposed
inciinations of the President, beicare The
loss of South Carolina Is nothing. The ex.
ample OF her secession j, nothing, when com
pared To those dirciul calamities-thosc i'm
apprecrahle ills-which will follow the en-
Ployment OF force, as infallibly Is the sLa

My course is not Influenced by a

aware that the heated partizans on
both sides will not be pleased with it;
but am greatly disappointed in the
virtue and intelligence of this people,

prove Of it. Do the people require
that their public officers should dictate
to them in a matter which belongs ex-
clusiyely to themselves Ny opinion
is, that the people are fully competent
to this business, and that they DO not
require the officious interference Of
their public servants. What would
be said Of the Chief Justice of the Uni
ted States, if he we're to become an

My friends have no more right to ask
Of me an electioneering course, than
the friends of Judge Marshall have to
demand it of him. have never, eth

In our columns to-day will be found
the Government account of the Ran
dolph case. We insert it on the prin.
ciple of hearing both sides. The ar
tlcle suggests, at once, many reflec-
tons and comments; but we are content
to forbear.-Mr. Randolph's case was
probably taken up in Richmond on
Monday, and the proceedings there
will show the true state ofthe business.
Let it always be recollected, that a
Court of Inquiry has already acquit-
ted Mr.. Randolph of intentional wrong
doing-and the same Court stated his
deficit to be about four thousand dol
lars. He was only called upon by
the Treasury then TO liquidate that
sum.--How is it that he noao owes
twenty-five thousand dollars, and is
cast into prison. But, as we have just
said, we choose rather to wait the
course of events than indulge in spec
ulations. Gdz.

were certainly better they should receive

fered to throw the whole country into
