tend to its glorious chief is not regarded, in the
most authentic quarters, as entirely 'sOund on the
goose" One might have supposed that the 10y

major, above all the fantest shadow of suspicion
of any lack of true faith and allegiance to Slavery
And yet hear what The Richmond Enquirer says Of
him. 1t seems the guondam bedfellow Of Captain
TYLER has taken the stump for Fillmore in Virginia
This be has done so little 10 the liking Of The En-
Qnrer that it AYERS that he "can be convicted of
BLACK Republicanism on the evidence of his own
declaration in the speech he recently delivered in
" Richmond" 1t goes on: 1.-THE speech will be
published and if Bolts is not arrested under the
"act for the suppression of incendiary language
"the law is either dead letter or our prosecuting
"sttorneys are not true to their duties"
Nor is this the only case in which legal measures
are suggested by the same paper. A writer con-
sidcr;ng the question Of an Extra Session of the
Legislature, in of the revolutionary act of the
actual majority of the people cecting President,
speaks in this wise:
"IIowover il might be under ordinary circumstances,
take it for granted that, in Fremont is elected
the Legislature will be at convoked, and that
their very first act will be making the retaining
or acceptance Of Office under the General Government
after tho 4h of March next, nisdemeanor, punish
sbe by fine of not less than five hundred nor more
than five thousand dollars, and by imprisonment for
term of not less than four than eight years.
That law will be the first step in the course Of resist
ance, and the pivot Of future operations
just conceive of gentlemen Of the First Families
of Virginia being sent to the penitentiary for taking
Office under the Federal Government! Why it is
like Furnishing man for living by bread and breath
ing the vital air. But we have this consolation
that instinct is q great matter, and habit yet
greater; go that we do not think any threats Of
fine and imprisonment could keep that Tite Barnacle
brood from taking places in the National Circumlo.
cuton Office. Somebody said once, if you put az
Englisbman on one side of the pit of hell and
pudding on the other he would make jump for it,
So We imagine that no gulf that Virginia legislators
can interpOse between her sons and the smallest
slice of Federal pudding could deter them from
jumping at it. They do not belong to that particu-
lar breed of dogs that too scOrnul to eat dirty
buildings. Should it prove otherwise, and should
the f. +. VS. actually refuse to take Offices under
President Fremont, we shall concede not merely
that the Union must be dissolved, but that the
world itself is coming to an end. None of the signs
which the disciples of Mr.. Miller see in the events
of contemporary history would have half the con.
yncrg effect to our minds that the end of all things
is at hand, with this instance of miraculous con.
version.
Nor is this martyr spirit confined to the An.
cent Dominion. Senator Sidell of Louisiana in a
letter to the Central Committee of that State takes
substantially the same ground He does not indeed
propose to enact this principle of Total Abstinence
frcm Office into grand Selfdenying Ordinance-a
kind of Maine Law applied TO politics-but he takes
it for granted that no Southern man would dare
ito incur the odium and infamy of accepting Office
under Fremont. The whole machine of Govern.
"ment," he goes on to say, in the Southern
States must be stopped, unless Northern men
"can be found bold enough TO come among us and
undertake the collection of the revenue, and the
execution Of the laws Of Government from
which We are practically excluded" The con.
cusion of the whole matter is that he does not
hesitate to declare that, if Fremont be elected.
"the Union cannot and ought not to be preserved"
And all this twaddle is talked and written by men
who pretend to the average of practical common
sense They suppose, evidently, that the bulk of
the Northern people have really been frightened
into the Compromises they have entered into with
them, by the Raw Head and Bloody Bones of
Dissolution Of the Union they had dressed out to
scare them with. If So it is high time they learned
that the North only played at being frightened az
