The Onion.

The disunion sentiment which, during
the last Presidential election, wasys ram
pant insome Of the New England States,
seems to have been succeeded by some
glimpses Of returning reason and by a
more healthful state Of fhe public mind.
Fanaticism kindles 4 fierce fire, but il
soon burns itself out, and then Common
sense resumes the eontfof Of the mind.
There never was strong disunion senti-
ment In the Southern States. Virginia
was the mother of the Union. She led
the way to it, was chiefly instrumen-
tai in forming the organic law, and laying
the corner stone ofthe great national fab,
rio. IIer brightest traditions are enter
twined with the history of the confeder-
ated Republic. Her Washington. the
glory of the world, commended that leg
acy to her with his dying breath. JEFF
fsrson and Madison gained their chief re-
nownf III framing die chRrtan ii expound-
ing tho principles Of the federal. govern
ment. The eloquence TIE her sons has
achieved in its halls imperishable laurels;
the wisdom Of her Statesmen has direct.
ed its counsels and guided tito Its present
unexampled pitch Of prosperity Gle yalol
warriors has achieved It's military
renown.and extended its borders from the
Atlantic 10 the Pacific. The genius and
patriotism Of one Of Her distinguished
sons have repeatedly saved the Union
from 1ismeniberment and civil war. II
there IS one State ii the Union which
surpasses any other in ah enlightened and
feryid devotion to- the Union, It is tho Old
Dominion. 1t has been our fortune to
visit various sections of the State, in both
Eastern and Western Virginia, in the
country and the town, and everywhere,
We have found those with whom We
came In contact as loyallto The Union as
ever was George Washington himself.
It's no exaggefation when we say that
wa do not believe the Father off his Counv
try was ever more thoroughly imbued
with d national, conservative spirit, and
patriotism which knew no boundaries but
Tie limits Of the American Republic, than
are the Overwhelming majority Of the
people 3 fvirgilnlia al this time. This is
emphatically true Of their institutions Of
learning. which are all lass truly Ameri-
can as Firginian, and whose professors
have no sympathy with, hisunion in any
fits forms. If the Free Sellers want
dissolution, let Them leaFe-Nirginia will
abide under the flag of the nion.
