Virginia Wbir Sentiment.


We continue our quotations from the Wing press
Of Virginia in respect to the ncendiary resolutions of
the New York Wing State Convention. We cannot
too much admire the high, patriotic, and Independent
tone Of these journals each vcing withthc others in
their devotion to the South, and animated by an in
vncibc determination to defend her rights at all
hazards aud to the last cxtrsty. Love and venera-
ton of the Union too brcMbe in every thought aud
sentiment; but is affection for tho Union our
fathers ordained it and intended it to he, not ana
tics and aboitonists would make it Not the Wing
press of Virginia alone, but nearly the entire Wing
press Of the South have spoken out in reference to
| the New York plot, in terms which no man, North
South can misunderstood. And if there is any 10y.

and determined effort to put down Sewardsm, and

heretofore been and not to fall from their high estate to
pay worship at the shrine Of William II. Seward
We believe they will yet fully justify our expecta.
tons of them, and prove themselves to be worthy Of
all confidence and all honor.
The Wing spirit Of the South is fully aroused to
the danger that threatens US and will yield nothing
to the fell purpose Of Abolition. Let then the con-
sentative Wings of the North watch closely the ex-
pressons of Southern sentiment and not be deceived
We append extracts from several leading Wing pa
pers in Nrgnia and shall follow with others in due
time
