commissioned to invite and urge her to resume
her office OF leader OF the South, and return to
that position, whence alike her honor and her
safety mourn her absence.
Certainly the Carolina representative would
have much the most inspiring Office His work
would be to win or powerful ally to noble
and a sacred cause.-the cause Of organized lib
erty aga:nst the attacks Of reckless sgrsrian-
ism. What, ON the other hand, will the Vir-
ginian say to us! Win he urge that Virginia
has disowned her principles, dishonored her
pledges, and skunk away from contest of which
shs was the first to mark the impossible bound
aries,-ard that therefore, it is proper that as
South Carolina followed her lead to the battle
field, she should also follow the same leader
in abandoning the batteries and deserving the
standards!
Will he take these latest legislative resolves,
and expound them for our cditcaton and cor
rection! It will call for an ingenious nan to
extract much matter from them. The most se-
rlous proposition contained in them is, in effect,
that the secession Of South Carolina would be
dangerous to the integrity Of the Union and
the only practical measure broached, is the in
struction to the governor to send a copy Of the
resolves to every State except Vermont So
We have here u new Virginia platform, made up
of the profound deduction, that secession is un-
favorable to the integrity of the Union, and of
the comprehensive remedial measure Of cutting
the acquaintance of Vermont, and there is to be

immensely important matters.

~ The Norfolk Argus, like the voice of

lowing strong protest against the retraction of
the former resolutions of Virginia.
The legislators who have thus stultfed the
State, have heavy burden of responsibility to
bear, for thus striving TO tic the hands Of the
people.
The Argus says:

renown, by any of her proceedings, touching

1W We find this paragraph going tn
rounds Of our exchanges:

|
probabilities of South Carolina seeding from
the Union being under discussion, one Of the
party, celebrated as shrewd politician in the
country, offered the following sentiment; "The
best commissioners TO South Carolina---The
Union Of the Union and the Press-The elec-
ton Of Douglass and Hunter President and
Vice President of the United Statcs7 The
toast Was drank three times three, with the wild
est enthusiasm. those present, the edi-
tors of the Southern Press, Fisher and DeI.eon,
also Major Donelson, the new editor of the
Union.
Now it is only necessary to say that there is
scarcely word Of truth in this statement, and
the color given to the incident is entirely and
Intentionally false.
The facts upon which this gross Justification
was founded, were simply these: Half dozen
gentlemen, (among them the editors referred
to) happened accidentally to meet one afternoon
at the hotel, and adjourned to the room of a
common friend, to take glass Of Champagne.
One of the number sportively proposed the
toast, as playful sally at the expense Of the
editors, which was promptly amended by the
express addition Of and SO. 3o," before all
drank it.
The whole thing was meant and understood
at the time rs a mere joke, intended to 90 no
farther-for not even member of Congress, or
any one engaged in political life, was present,
with the exception of the editors. "The sup
per-" the "wildest enthusiasm" the three
times three" and the significance attached to the
matter, are therefore equally the coinage of the
brain of the pryng and unprincipled cave
dropper, who must have originated it,
The whole thing is ridiculous; but it shows
to what despicable meanness and deliberas
falsehood our enemies will resort to place us in
false position before the Southern people
Not day passes that fabrications almost ss
gross and shameless as this we have exposed in
relation to ourselves, do not pass under our OBJ
servation. We hold them and their authors in
too much contempt ordinarily to contradict
them; and have only noticed this, to prevent its
producing the impression which was evidently
intended by its cunning contriver.
Those prints which have given circulation to
the falsehood, should, in justice, give the correc-
tion.
