COURSE OF VIReIN1A-Tbe editors Of that
sterling paper, the Lynchburg Republican, in
referring to the future course Of Virginia, thus
strikes the nail on the head: ..s.
We are opposed, however, to any more res
olutious on this subject, unless bond and secu-
rity be given that they will be executed when
adopted. The legislature has sworn enough
in Flanders, and should now act, or forever af.
forwards hold its peace The miserable policy
of adopting patriotic" resolutions, just to back
out from them when the emergency which they
are designed to meet arises, is as disgraceful to
State as similar clustering policy would be
in an individual, and has done more to PROSTATE
the cause of the South, than all other causes
combined Pass strong non.intercourse re.
solves if you please--do anything to arrest if
possible the tide of Northern aggression now
threatening US with ruin-but iot mercy sake
do not make Virginia say the fourth time that
ifs and SO be done, she will do SO and SO at
all hazards! No more platforms, gentlemen,
to be broken through, when pressure comes.
Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress is now on ex-
hibition in New York, in the form Of Pano-
rama, and is attracting much attention. 1t is
described as work Of decided merit, on which
the pencils of several artists Of distinguished
abilities have been long and diligently engaged;
and is descriptive Of Bunyan's beautiful allego-
ry, in which bideous monsters, angelic forms,
yawning abyssess, with bottoms strewed with
human bones, enelsrting scenery, palaces and
craggy rocks, all pc,.nrm their part in marking
the ever changing progress OF the pilgrim. -

great wrong upon the South and upon the
PRINCIPLES which hold this Union together; but
as It is a law Of the land, and as we love and
cherish the Union in its true spirit and desire
its continuance, we are prepared to facqalesce
in this compromise, provided the fugitive slave
law be enforced All we now ask Of the free
States is, to cease the agitation of the Slavery
question in Congress and to carry out the tu-
eitive slave law in its letter and spirit Let
them do this, and we march on together; let
them refuse, and we Dissolve! This is strong
language; but we have weighed it, and we have
given ,itterance to It with deliberstion and SOL
en,nity. Here we stand. If this Confedera.
ton of States must perish--f their common
Gag, radiant with achievements as immortal as
the stars that cluster on it, must be torn and
trampled ii, the conhict-and if brothers must
be converted into deadly foes over the very
graves of their fathers. who won these hber-
tties-the Ruler IF Nations, who judges justly,
and all posterity upo:r this Continent, will hold
the slaveholdiug States guiltless Of the awful
and incapable crime"
The Fugitire Stare Lau.-lt is confidently
asserted that the general sentiment in both hou.
ses of Congress is against any disturbance of
the Fugitive Slave Law, 1t is confidently as.
serted that there are thirty-five members of the
House, who voted against that law, who will
not couutenance any modification of the bill,
much less its repeal. We shall see. For our
own part we think it the duty Of the South TO
'give and take" in regard to the sentiments of
our own people, and come to some united prep
aration that shall look well to the future. Let
it be remembered that Vermont has nallifed.

GEORGIA.

A portion OF the Democratic members of the Georgia
Legislature, representing counties of the fifth Congress
sional District undertook to recommend Judge John
A. Jones to their constituents the Democratic dele
gate from that District to the Nashville Convention
-Four other Democratic members from the District
Messrs. Chisolm Woods, Wofford and Pickett have
taken umbrage at this proceeding, and, in published
card, denounce it, in honeyed language,
raned interference with the action of people They
complain, Also "that those members have in the Legs
ature and elsewhere repudiated the long
principles of party upon this weghty question, to
wit: the Missouri Compromises compromise which
has ever been held sacred and nvoate by the Demo-
cratic party of Georgia. compromise for which the
Democratic Senators of ls47 tsave two gave their I'M
qualified support, and which was unanimously adopted
by the delegates of our party in the Convention Of las,
year at the nomination OF Governor Towns"
The four contents think the nomination of Judge
Jones falls every far short of rejecting the views and
wishes of large majority Of their party in the District
and they recommend District Convention, to select
proper delegate.

crisis may demand, and this in our Judgment, is the
only propermode OF organizing State Convention, il
one shall become necessary.
l. Res0Lued, AS the sense of this meeting, that we
recognize in the farewell address of the Father OF his
Country of the richest egacies he has bequeahed
to u.s. and that we ought to cherish his advice with hia
reverence.
g. ResoIued That we respectfully decline acting upon
the recommendation OF the General Assembly OF Vir-
gna reference to the proposed Convention at Nash
vile, and for this reason among Others that OF the
contingencies have occurred, which, in the opinion of
the General Assembly, would render action necessary
or proper sra,.d That .nv ;nf.ro,oo h;o, ,.u b.
drawn from our non-concurrence with the plan OF the
Nashville Convention, OF indifference on our part to
the issue OF the great questions now pending, will be
wholly unwananted
adoption by Congress Of the Wilmot Proviso or any
kindred measure in framing territorial governments for
the country acquired from Nexico and also to the abo-
| ton OF slavery in the District of Columbia.
5. Resolped "That it is fundamental principle in
our political creed that people, in forming consttu-
ton, have the unconditional right form and adopt the
government which they may think best calculated to
secure their liberty prosperity and happiness and in
| ormity thereto no other condition is imposed by the
Federal Constitution State, in order to be admitted
into this Union, except that its Constitution shall be
publican, and that the imposition of any other by Con-
gress would not only be in violation of the Constitution
but in direct conflict with the principle which po
litical system rests
6. Resolved, That is the imperative constitutional
duty OF Congress so to egslae as to afford to the
ers OF fugitive slaves who may escape into the States
northwest of the Ohio, and north Of Mason and Dixons
line, the mosfu and ample security for the rights qua
ranteed to them by the third section of the fourth article
Of the constitution Of the United States
| Z. Resolued, That the people OF the United States
have delegated to their public functionaries so much
power as necessary to enable them to administer the
existing governments which the people have established
and more; and they have reserved to themselves en-
clusiuely the power Of deciding when, and for wha
cause their institutions shall be changed or subvered
| g. Resolved, That the editors in this Congressional
District and such Others may be inclined to do so
be, and they are hereby respectfully requested publish
| the proceedings of this meeting.

IHE CALIFORNIA QUEsT1oN-A "meetng OF cii-
Zens and strangers opposed to the admission OF Cali

jackson, Miss, on the 18th ult., Governor Qutman IN
the chair committee OF twenty, consisting OF an
equal number OF the two political parties, reported a
series OF resolutions which adopted by an over
wheImng vote These resolutions approve the expo

ton held in October last they declare that it was the
duty OF the last it the duty of the present Congress-
to provide territorial governments for California and
other territories acquired from Mexico that the

passive jurisdiction the territory of California in
consequence of the failure by Congress provide laws
for the government Of the territory and for the equal
and indescmnate protection OF all the citizens of the
United States removing TO said territory with their pro-
perty, is in the highest degree unjust towards the people
OF the savehoding States, by lettering them from GO
ing to said territory with their slaves and is calculated
and intended to deprive them OF an equal participation
IN the common property OF the people OF all the States;
mat the policy pursued by the Government in refusing
to provide territorial therefore, is calculated
to promote, and is about effect indirectly, the cher
lshed object OF the aboonists that the admission of
California as State with its present constitution the
results OF such policy would be an act of fraud and op-
preston the rights OF the people of the savehodng
States and that delegation in Congress should resist
it by all honorable and constitutional means; that
the delegation in Congress shall be satisfied that fraud
has been praciced or improper influence used to she

California in reference to the formation of their State
constitution, they ought to oppose her admission for

of the admission of California to the Southern conven-
ton at nashville, "to be considered with other
OF complaint against the people ofthe now sayehold
ing States" and meantime, recommends the Misss-
sipp delegation in Congress to remain their posts.
and resist all further aggressons on Southern rights.

THE INSTITUTE OF THE VIRGINIA
GUARD

We take to ourselves reproof for not having
hitherto, during the present session of the Legs-
lature, noticed the proposition for converting the
State Armory, in this city, into military school
for the education of young men. The principal
features of bill now before the House of Dele
gates are thus coneisely set forth and defended by
the Enquirer of yesterday;
Take from the S22 500 the annual appropriation for
the Public Guard $4,000 with which the Superintendent
OF the Pepitentary is to hire twelve additional citizen
watchmen, making twenty in all. This is the way the
State prisons in every other State guarded, and
we no reason why cannot be done in Virgil
MIA II DONE all connection between the Cadets and
the Penitentiary forever done away with and there
remains SlS,500 for the support OF the school, With
this three Professors and five State Cadets
can be supported the latter free from any expense to
their parents 10 this number will be added we Know
not how many pay Cadets but Judge from what we
learn OF the experience at Lexington that one hundred
may bereed upon the tuition fees tor which, as at Lex
ington will go to swell the SlS 500 by which still more
State Cadets be provided tor so that there will be
at least IT'S 200 young men being educated the arms
aud other valuable property at the Armory protected
and every after the third Is or 30 superior school
teachers thrown out all over State and teaching fol
two years each; after the fourth year there will be so
60 engaged in that important occupation so long the
Armory School exists. Think of this and then think
OF the $1,000 oil our fellow citizens that read
write
We have only to say that we entirely concur III
the Enquirer's favorable opinion of this scheme
and, in truth,we do not perceive the force of mos
of the objections that have been made to it. The
above statement shows that the State cannot zoSt
money by the change. In questions of interna
improvement, the absence of money appropria
tons is always enough to carry any measure
Why should popular education be less dear to the
hearts of our law-givers? The eminent success
and popularity of the Lexington Institute furnish
satisfactory evidence that the people would be
highly pleased to have another such school. We
understand that the applications for admission a,
Lexington far exceed the present anticipated
capacities of the institution. The Enquirer states
that no injury to that school is apprehended by its
distinguished superintendent from the establish.
ment of one at Richmond We hope then that il
will be the pleasure of the Legislature to pass the
bill now pending.
