Again, in these resolutions our new

with Daniel Webster, that "authorities

have maintained that the general law Of
nations docs not forbid the citizens or sub
jects Of one nation from taking part in the
civil connections of another" Very true;
but read, on the same page, 107 Dip. and

abstract remark:

fact that they are instigated and led on in

Indeed, this able letter of Mr.. Webster
to Mr. Fox, upon the subject Of the Caro-
lima affair, is full of instruction in the duty oil
our people as neutrals, according to the
law of nations, and we wish we had room
for it entire, which we have not. But we
cannot refrain from quoting the last para
graph; laying down, as it does, most plain
ly ard distinctly, the policy of the republic
las understood and as to be surely admin
istered by the eminent statesman who
now, as then, is at the head Of the admin
istration) with regard to this question OF
neutrality:
"This republic docs not wish to disturb
the tranquility of the world; its object is
peace; its policy peace.-It seeks no az
grandizemcnt by foreign conquest, because
it knows that no foreign acquisitions could
augment its power and importance so ra-
pidly as they are advancing by its own
natural growth, under the propitious cir
cumstances ofits situation. But it cannot
admit that its Government has not both
the will and the power to preserve its own
neutrality, and to entore The observance q
its opn la,cs upon its oaon citizens. 1t is
jealous of its rights,
and will, at the same time scrupulously re-
frain frominfringing on therights of others"

What degree of encouragement the fill
busters are likely to receive from the autho-
rites so confidently cited by their leaders,
here, may be estimated with some approx
imation to accuracy, after perusal Of the
contexts we have taken the trouble to copy
out, for their information.

w We understand (says the Washing
ton Republic of the End instantly that the
Secretary of the Treasury received yes
terday Geographic dispatches from the
Collector at New Orleans, stating that p
900 men were waiting there ready to EN-
bark for Cuba. Without being appraised
of the nature of the reply vouchsafed to
the Collector in these premises. we have
reason to believe that he was duly Informed
that, if the said 1000 men should embark
under the circumstances, certain officers Of
the United States would be held respon-
sible. We are inclined to believe that il
would not be amiss to test the truth of Mr..
Rhett's assertion in the Senate Of the Uni
ted States. LAT it is impossible in this coun-
try to enforce any law in a neighborhood
where any portion otthe people were OPP
posed to its execution.

Whiy Organization.

We are pleased to observe, that prepare
tons are being made in various parts of the
state, for the approaching Wing Conven-
ton, with a degree Of promptness, cnthu-
sasm and good system, that denotes a full
gathering Of the party, and promises well
for its success ut the elections shortly to
succeed.
We sincerely hope that every portion OF
the Commonwealth may be represented in
that body, and that the delegates will meet,
with disposition to sacrifice whatever OF
personal feeling and preference the unity
of the party may demand, and will sepa-
rate, with determination to undergo what
ever labor, its success may require. We
speak with no vain meaning when we say,
that the occasion calls for all the concert,
the zeal and energy, that can be enlisted
in behalf of the Wing Party.
A most important era in the fate Of par
ties is just at hand. Under the system
which we are about to adopt, the voting
strength Of the State will lack but Traction
Of being doubled. New issues are arising
and new elements are coming into action
A turning point has been attained in our
progress, which is to determine our desti-
ny for many years.
Webelicveit is in the power ofthc Wings,
if they will put forth an amount Of exertion
adequate to the cxigency and worthy OF
the great ends for which they are striving,
to win glorious triumph and secure per-
mancnt ascendcncy in the state. But let
them fail to do their duty, their whole du-
ty, and they will sink iuto a subsection
more hopeless than that, which for years
has held them bound.
AS first step in the path of duty, we
call upon our friends, where ever our voice
may reach them, to proceed at once to the
appointment Of delegates to the State Con-
vcnton 1t would be a shame and re-
proach to the Wings of any county, that
they cared so little for their principlcs-so
little for the companionship and approba-
ton Of their political brcthrcn-so little for
the general and final triumph other party,
and the safety and prosperity of the coun-
try of which such contamination would
be the sure fore token, as to disregard this
simple and easy obligation.
Let none underestimate the Importance
ofthat Convention and its ac,ionn dcterm-
ning the elections which are TO occur
through the fall and winter. We cannot
now iorcscc how grave the subjects which
inay demand consideration, nor can we fail
10 see the influence Of Il large and cnthus-
lasilc rally ofthc party, in the centre ofthc
Statc--in diusing zeal and confidence and
determination through all her limits. The
time for action has come = let those no

and loyal to the Constitution and the Union,

Convention will meet in Charlottesville in
