1b. Editor:-I am delighted at the
bold stand you have taken, against the Sc
cessionists, and anti-compromisers, in Vir.
ginia, and particularly in this and the adj
joining districts. tits thcduty of the press
to lash them with such weapons, as will
leave the marks. Make no compromise
with them. unless they become peaceable
citizens, and advocate the cause of their
whole country, and its Constitution, in all
its parts. Nor will it be right to let them
escape from the responsible position which
they have assumed before the country, by
the lame and impotent, and indeed ridicu-
lous subterfuge of pretended dequiescence
Why acquiese now, but from sheer ne
cessity2 Does not every body know, they
would never consent to the settlement Of
those vexed questions, if anything could be
gained to their cause, by continued agita-
ton! They have carried their opposition
as far as they could. The whole country
began to be aroused against them. and
forthwith they turn around and tell you,
they are better Union men than you are,
and but for their opposition, the Compro-
mise would not Lave been as favorable to
the South as it isl
suppose there is not man South of
Mason and Dixon's line, that would not
have preferred California to come into the

but who wishes to see the Union dissolv-

We commence this morning the publica
ton, over the signature, "Old Hickory"
of a series of ARTICLES, on the subject oil
secession" and ask for,hem, the attentive
Perusal OF the public. The writer is Mr.
Joseph G. Baldwin, Esq, distinguished
ciiizen of Alabama native of Virginia,
and son ofour townsman, Capt. Jos. c.
Baldwin. The subject of these essays, is
invested with present and pressing impor-
lance, by the position which South Caro-.
Ina, avows herself determined to take; and
it's the duty of every man, deliberately
to investigate the true nature, aud theory
oiour government, and to determine what
course, it will become our authorities to
pursue, should South Carolina, take the IA
'alstcp. The opportunity for testing the
judgments Of the people of virginia, upon
the question, is presented in the elections
Tor Congress, shortly to be had. We dc
not over-cstimate the magnitude ofthc issue
when we say, that it overshadows all 9th
crs now before the public, and, that the
vote Of every man. should conform to his
convictions concerning it.
Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1851-09-11
South Carolina.

The grand aim of South Carolina is the
formation of Southern Republic, by the
Union of all the Slaveholding States
Whether she would be contentcd, in the
new Confcderacy-and willing to make
those occasional sacrifices of feeling and
interest, which would be essential to the
harmony and welfare Of the whole, may
be inferred from the contempt, which she
now manifests, for the opinions and coun-
sells of all the others, with which she de-
sires an Union. She declares, by her threat
encd course, that she will not heed the ad-
vice or follow the example Of the other
states, whose position is identical with her
own-that her judgement is superior to
theirs, her sense of honor more delicate
than theirs, her courage greater, and that
in defiance of their opinions, wishes and
interests she will sccede from the Union
Were these states associated with her, in a
governmental compact, what greater de-
ference would she pay to them, then, than
now?
Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1851-09-11

1t gives US great pleasure, to make pub
lie, the correspondence between the mem
bers Of the Amherst bar, and Judge
Thompson. as well because we rejoice to
know that the State is not about to lose the
services of so learned and able JurIst, as
that we trust the position he has assumed
may give an imprfmatr to future action
on this most important subject, throughout
the State. OF all the changes that will be
introduced into our State policy, by the
new constitution, we have been, and are,
most apprehensive of that which relates to
the judiciary. Better that we should have
no Courts or laws, and that men should
stand upon their natural rights. than that
the robes of justice should be draggled in
the mirc ofan unprincipled canvass, and
the records Of the Court blurred by the
Judgements of interest or prejudice. II
the tribunals fthe State cannot be kept in
ependentinf eeling--beyondt the seductions
ordread ofthe power, whose creature they
are-ifthey cannot hold themselves above
the batteries or the menaces the crowd
we may have to learn that sorest lesson
that people were ever taught-the curse
ola corrupt Judiciary. Should the time
ever come, when they, whose duty it is to
decide upon the rights, the lives and the
honor Of their fellow-men-in whose hands
are placed the construction of our organic
law and the integrity of our State Constitu.
ton, shall be found paltering to the base al
lurements of sclfinterest or the pcstilent
influences of party, then have we thrown
away all the shields that hang around the
property, the characters and the lives Of
our citizens, and bid final farewell to all
that has made the name of Virginia honor
able 1t is on these accounts, that we are
delighted at this first manly and indepen-
dent step ofJudge Thompson, and that We
