SOUND THE ALARM!

Eternal vigilance, should now be the
wa.ch-word Of every Wing. We cannot be
Ignorant Of the fact that the Tories are nov
laboring with all their energies, in order to
bring about the defeat Of the true democ-
racy of the State and nation, that is, the
democracy ofnumbers and to lasten upon
our beloved State, again, the odious stain
Of Loco~focoism. We say then, eternal
vigilance should be our watch-word. Let
the alarm be sounded in every corner ofthe
State-let complete and thorough organ
ization be Immediately made---let every
district have its Committees, NOT TO die
tate, but to convince, and look after such
as may be wavering and haliing-to show
them arguments, whereby they may be en-
abled to discern what is federalism and
what is democracy. Who are Democrats
and republicans, Wings and patriots, and
who are Tories, Locofocos and federalists.
Let these things be attended to without
delay---there is no time to lose---it is high
time we were looking about ourselves, be-
fore the enemy make US fast in bondage.
We must not suppose, that we have
nothing to do, in order to elect our Gov
ernor, and sustain our principles. The
gold Of the enemy is against us--.the i'm
mense patronage of the Government will be
brought to bear upon the coming contest, so
as to produce the greatest possible amount
Of advantage to the enemies of our lber-
ties. These things are so, and the free
men of this State, must strengthen every
nerve, must use every exertion, to secure
the triumph of correct principles and hasten
the day, when experiments and humbugs
shall no longer crush and destroy every
channel of industry and trade. Let the
alarm then be sounded-and let every re-
publican, be at the post of duty.

A VIRGINIA SENATOR turns out that

message to the old school party with
overtures for reconciliation. The old
school replied, that they would not treat
except upon the basis ofthe sreinding reso-

cut off all hopes ofa re-union. The new
school then organized themselves, accord
ing to certain forms recommended by their
legal advisers, as the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church. The books.

mand was made for their delivery II was
refused of course. This is preliminary to

school have the law clearly upon their
