sThs Riehmond Enquirer. Of the 10Th,
qsosss ! Persios of our report Of Col. Boil.
Eags'ssPssch, At Campbell C. H.. with ! briei
passage from that Of the Republican, and
makes . somewhat lengthy commentary.
exhibiting an entire Misunderstanding Of
what Col. Boiling said, on that OCCASION
According TO our report, Col. B. enquircd
1.-THE people Of Campbell did not approve
The ComPromise-if they did not think the
states owed !, Do themselves and to each
other. 70 put down the agitation Of the
Slavery question:" Upon this the Enquirer
remarks, HE declares it to be the duty of
the Novkxers States {, put down the agi-
sasioa Of slavery" from which it might be
inferred that Col. B. thought it the duty
Of these states to interPose and silence agi-
eat;oa ct the South; whereas, his meaning
clearly was, that all the states. North and
South, should cease to discuss the exciting
topic, and return to the repose and frater-
nal feeling. 20 essential to the safety Of the
Union and the well-being ofthc people.
Tho Enquirer quotes, amongst others,
such Expressions Is these.from the Virgin
ian's report He Subscribed to the doc
trine that a state was to judge for itself in
&ke let resort, whether she would submit
to or resist such action Of the United States
Government. as in her judgement, was
oppressive and tyrannicsl." "He would
sustain the Administration in enforcing the
laws Of the Union. He aooxld not permit
South Carolina to secede." And the Re-
publican says He denounced the right Of
seeessios" and yet the Enquirer declares.
''if we understand this language. (referiug
tothe whole extracts, from which these SEN
fences arc tsken,) Mr.. B. distinctly asserts
the right of a state to secedc." With SO pal
pable misrepresentation of the views of
Col. Boiling. We can account for the Enqui-
rer's forced deduction of inconsistency and
its unfounded ascription of "monstrous
sentiments"
Bot. the Enquirer continues. "Bc it re-
membered, thar one Of the resolutions Mr..
Boiling offered last winter, declared the
right Of secession, and was voted for by
the Wing party in the last Legislature Of
Virginia. 1t was as follows, and it cuts
the throat Of all that part Of his speech at
Campbell Court in which he maintained
that "peaceable secession is an impossible
"Resolved, That Virginia will consider
the repeal Of the fugitive slave law disso-
luton Of the Union, and will. in case it is
repealed, refuse any longer to recognize
herself member thereof"
Suppose it be repealed while Mr.. Boil
ling is voting men and money to subdue
South Carolina; what will become of Mr.
Boiling, pledged on both sidesl"
1.-THE Enquier had really desired to
know. what would. in that event, become
Of Mr.. Bolling-(mot pledged on both
sides)it could easily have seen, by reading
tho nextresolution, save one. which requir-
ed the Senators and members of Congress,
If that law were repealed, ITO resign their
seats" md return home." And if the
Enquirer, had desired its readers to know
what Mr.. Boiling, meant by that resolution.
It wouldno have suppressed the passage
IN his speech. explaining his meaning
"Col. Boiling said. hisidca was, that Vir-
ginia shouldtnke her stand upon the Fug-
tive Slave Law. 1t was her right to have
that law. clear Constitutional right, and
1t the United States should attempt, by its
repeal, to deprive her of that right. she
ought to resi1 that aggression; for he
claimed for Virginia the right that belong
cd toevery people-the right to resist OPP
prcssion-the right of revolution"
"I.astly. says the Enquirer. what aid
and encouragement is all this Wing ma
hgnisy towards South Carolina, affording
the gallant party in that State who are
sacrificing themselves to prevent scces-
sionl If the whole South should unite
with one voice in an earnest appeal to
South Carolina to desist from her mad
project we believe the year 1851 would
not close without witnessing her cheerful
assent to their exhortations. But we shall
continue to fear for her conduct as long
as the Southern Wing press and Southern
Wing politicians shall continue to put
forth the cmbittercd calumny and denunc-
alton against her which they have been ut
tering so long. They are not promoters
Of the Union who. in every word they ut
ter and every line they write, exhibit the
most envenomcd haterd for those who have
become alienated from it. They are not
promoters of Union, who dcnounce the
sword and the halter against whole CON-
munity in its bosom. Mutual affection,
respect. federation and charity. are the
bonds Of Union. What sort of Union men
arethose whose conduct towards South Car
olina,--the quarter whence immediate dan
ger to the Union is threatencd--is marked
ny the extreme oppos.tes Of all these sem
tments."
If South Carolina receives "aid and en-
couragemcnt" from any quarter, in her ru-
NOUS attempts to dissolve the Union,itis from
those, who assert and defend the right of
secession. That State has undertaken to
judge for herself of her grievances-She
has declared. in almost every possible way,
that those grievances are such, as to have
rendered the Union 'burdensome. The
only question remaining,is, in what manner
may she relieve herself of her Federal obi
cations. The Enquirer. Mr.. Bocock, and
others say-in effect, she has the right to
withdraw whenever she thinks proper
Let her 60" is their language. We de-
mand to know, what more effec,ual en-
could be given than this -
