We will not make anappeal to the South
as such; but ifany part OF the Union has
cause for alarm at an increase of the
power OF convention suddenly called to-
gether. we should say it is the South; and
were Jefferson alive, we should on this
occasion have protest from his pen
The guiding principle of his statesman
ship was to consult the people and to re-
we're the people. But what do | say? A
voice comes to us fiom one of Jeferson's
successors in the chair of State in the Old
Dominion and 10 clear and distinct terms
he rejects the Lecmpton Constitution AS
not the act and deed of the people OF Kan
sas, and he rightly condemns the Lecomp-
ton schedule as not republican. New York
will respond to Virginia, and the great
Northwest will swell the echo.
The policy of enforcing the Lecomp-
ton Constitution on an unwilling people is
neither wise nor expedient nor possible
Principle is the true diviner's wand by
which the President Of free people always
the millions, and secures majorities for
his measures in Congress. The neglect
OF principle for temporizing expediency al
ways loses the respect OF mnjorilies liz
Congress and out of it. The ship Of State
is wa;erlogged; throw the fraudulent Lee
compton Constitution overheard; let prin-
ciple take the helm, and the bark will
spring forward on its way as in the best
years of our republic. Ours is the cause
Of peace, Of order, Of true democrcy, Of
union, Of freedom. All good omens are
with us. For our part we are resolved To-
