ago for paper which to advocate dissolution of the
Union IN peaceable way correspondent of the Charles
ton News learns that large number OF cash subscribers have
"taken stock in the concern Such paper would have
contrary effect the public mind from that intended by its
popnetors Its very existence would awake the great mass
OF the people reflection upon the subecta reflection ca
dspassonae IN which they would their true interest and

and party rancor are fastening the republics and before
becomes too late to concate, peaceful might be
adopted. Upon the whole such paper would do perhaps
more good than harm although its publishers should be held
infamous We feel that it is incumbent upon the South
to stand by her constitutional rights let the consequences be

the idea OF cooy treating and schemng for dissolution OF
the Union.

Virginia has adopted strong resolutions in relation to the

have selected for them the reckless desperation Of the first
act be made ridiculous by the folly of the other. So far
know, the people have not made single movement to-

any wish be there they know how to do it. independently
Of all grauitous displays Of legislative ZEAL We believe this
Nashville Convention has been gotten by the enemies Of
Gen. Taylor and that the politicians who gave birth, after
