THE CONSERVATIVES SIDE.
VIRGINIA FIRM.-"In any event, let vir-
ginia stand firm for the Union, so that if
Lincoln ever be elected, we may, by the
grandeur of our position, be able to rally
the conservatives, encourage all such men
in the North and prepare for reconstruct
ton of Parties.-E1trdct from a speech Of
Hon. George ". Summers, reported in the
Lynch6"rg HiTginia, Oct. %.
SAM. HoUsToN SPEAKs.-You hear it
from the stump; you read it in their pa.
pers and in their resolutions, that if Mr..
Lincoln is elected the Union is to be dis
solved. Here is a constitutional party
that intends to violate the constitution be-.
cause man is constitutioually elected
President Here is constitutional party
that proclaims it reasonable for man to
uphold the constitution. If the people
constitutionally elect President, is the
minority to resist him? Do they intend
to carry that principle into their new
Southern confederacy2 If they do, we
can readily conceive how long it will last.
the government. Let them succeed, and
in that class of patriots they will be able
to Outrival Mexico.-E1trqct from Gov.
HOustOn's speech at dustin, 7eras
The. TAUST OF SuBM1ss1ox.-We think
the position of these gentlemen, who pro-
pose to secede before Lincoln takes his,
seat, an indcfcnsiblc one. Buff they are
honest in their sentiments. they can surely
express them without applying lcsigua-
ton intended to be contemptuous to those
whose judgements lead them to u different
conclusion. The interests, the rights, the
honor, the integrity of The South, do not
belong to any party nor to any division of
any party. They belong to all the people
of the South alike, and will be defended
by all alike. Surely there should be no
reproaches, no taunts, no insinuations of
being abject "submissionists'' to those who
will be ready to defend the Constitution
when invaded, but will not anticipate,
without reasonYsmhat aIIsnusts know will;
be u time of trouble and of civil dissen-'
sion.-N. o. Crescent.
THE POLITICIANS CANNOT CONTROL THE
PEoPLE.-If the States south of us choose
to convert this republic into another Mex
ican confederacy of miserable factions,
warning States, on account of some fam
cied wrong which may or may not be inn
posed upon us, we can only say that such
| States will lose the most sensible portion
of their population. Let any extreme
Southern State secede, and set up for her
self; let her begin IL system of taxation
adequate to the support of an indie pendent
government, and the conservative tax
paying citizens will leave politicians to
mnnnge the whirlwind whose tcrrors they
have awakened, and will crowd into Ten
| I'D
citics.-4Uemphis appeal.
Extract from speech delivered Mt Alcxandria, on
tican of Virginia.
THE SoUTH OuGHr TO STAY IN.-"We
may be asked what the Southern States
ought to do in the event of the election of
Lincoln? With more courage than Mr.,
Breckinridge, who shrinks from the re-
sponse, with the frankucss that becomes
every one who addresses the public or
affects to represent party, answer that
they ought not to think of secession
That will afford no remedy for the wrong
complained of, but prove an aggrava-
ton"
Extract from the address of tho Douglas State Exec
ntive Committee of Kentucky, issned directly after
the Pennsylvania election and signed by some of
the ablest men in the State.
INFATUATED AND MIsGUIDED.-"We much
fear that the battle fields of the Republic
must hereafter be frGnferred from the North
to the SOWth.-lu the event of the election
of Mr.. Lincoln an attempt will most pro-
bably be made by one or more of the
Southern States to secede from the Union
Strong efforts will be made to sednce or
force Kentucky and all other slaveholdtng
States into the unwisc and fatal move
ment.-ln every Southern State-even here
in our Union-loving and beloved Kentucky
able, active and powerful advocates of
disuuion will be found recklessly resolved
upon the destruction of the Federal Gov
ernment, and bending all their sacrcligi-
Gus energies to that trensonable end.-

TUE VALUE OF CHIvA1RY<-The people
of South Carolina have been persistently
engaged in anathematizing Northern ag-
gression, and in preaching the necessity of
dissolution. Just in the same proportion
has her commerce declined and her agri-
cultural wealth diminished. Instead of
seeking prosperity, by initiating the enter
prise aud public spirit of her neighbors.
the Palmetto State has gradually supkin
an Impoverished conQltlon, while cnVelgh-.
ing against the North for evils which are
mostly the result of hersown neglect and
improvidence. She is splendid exemplc
of the exact value fchivalry.-N. o. Bee.
