We have been waiting to see some movement equal
TO the e1gency Of the times foot in Virginia.
Il cannot be denied that things rapidly drifting to
disunion Il is an event which, in magnitude and the
results to follow in its train Of vast consequence II
ought TO be avoided If it can be- consistently with safety
and honor Yet who in Virginia is doing anything to
preventit. ALI are standing by the Unions dying bed,
and no man stretches forth bis hand help The States
South of US are acting their independent judgment,
and preparing for such course as will consran oursoy
making our present position intoerable If anything
can be done it must be promptly DONE or the opPortun
" will be forever gone.
Let our leading men come forward in this time Of
peril and if they have the talents for which they desire
credit and the patriotism to which they lay claim, let
them put their heels the spirit OF party, and devise
the most hopeful be pursued. Let them give
US an honorable aud yet efficient programme OF opera
tons Is il possible to roll back Northern sentiment to
legitimate aud lust bounds If not the Union is gone.
Is possible to hold back Southern determination so as
to abide the attempt? not the Union Is gone Ia the
presence of this double DEATH sitting still Where
are the men who have been eloquent of late abou!
Union? Dumb death
Let the Governor promptly convene our Legislature.
Ought we to have nothing TO say when South Carolina
and Georgia in session deciding their destiny and
ours Are to sit still aud merely waitfor the deci-
sons Our people ought TO speak. Southern conven-
ton and probably State convention, ought to be in
sisted on and provided for
Suppose the South were in such manner 70 unite
in solemn league to stand by each other Suppose they
then united in firm and temperate statement Of their
rights and their ultmatum Of delay in having them re-
cOgnzed. Suppose they demanded by direct appeal 10
the fourteen Northern nuying States the prompt re-
peal OF their injurious laws and the discharge of their
coveuaned duty Suppose in Of refusal by any OF
these they then appeal the separate collective au-
thorty Of the several States TO exercise the converse
right Of secessiOn;-we mean the poUsr Of erctHsion-
Suppose such exclusion from the Union be demanded
against States that refuse perform their obligations;
that thus the guilty, not the innocent may suffer.
Would these things, or would any other eXpedient,
present any hope? II So let try them. And let no
time be lost for there is no time TO lose Let man
deude himself with the idea that the Union will stand in
the present position of issues, and the present rapid
working Of things. 1t is simply impOssibiy, aud he
who would save il should go nationally and instantly to
work. Delay is diswaioH, swift and sure.

erday and triumph OF the party whose declared purpose
and policy are 10 undermine the very foundation Of the
prosperity safety and existence Of the Southern section
Of this Union has thrown pail over city, and filled
all minds with deep anxiety and gloom.
Me, parties and partnsan traditions must alike be con-
signed TO oblivion. Our homes, fresdes, our social
system our honor liberty enough TO engage our
undivided Affection solictude and devotion The
South must consult deliberate and determine with the
grave dignity and serious purpose OF people who stand
on the brink Of a great perl-who are compelled to
choose between dishonorable submission and capitu-
ation to a naughty and incorporating enemy, for
temporary peace and the security Of certain mate
rial interests with an ever present and increasing peril
to even these accept all the responsibility danger
and honor OF united resistance at all costs and sacri-
fees to the dishonor and eventual ruin which nevi-
table from our acquescence in the government of the
fanatics and sectional demagogues to whom the North
ern masses have committed the powers Of this Govern
ment.
This is the issue presented in the South, and we
shall await with deep anxiety the action OF the leading
States Of our section uDon il.

From the Baltimore american, (BsR)

As the smoke Of the battle field clears away and the
victory on side and the defeat on the other is set
tied beyond the possibility of doubt, we may look with
comparative calmness upon the aspect Of Affairs While
a single chance remained il well enough to give all
our energies to the accomplishment OF one obect-the
defeat Of Lincoln. We have fought as loyalty as we
could some of under banner and some under
another against the common enemy, and we have not
prevailed Il only for US 10 gather our scatter
ed forces and to make arrangements for another struggle
upon another and more fortunate field.
The painest fact staring in the face is that we can
find no such field ont Of the Union Suppose Maryland
Virginia Kentucky and Missouri should respond TO the
invitation of South Carolina aud by formal enactment
withdraw from the Confederacy The only result would
be to engirde ourselves with extended Abolition from
tier, aordng thousand avenues of escape for hg
tive slaves and securing their safety If once over the
border readily If they landed in Canada or
England For the very reason that we regard the doc
trnes aud principles Of the Republican party with I'M
chaugeable hostility do insist upon maintaining our
position Of equality the Union and watching over our
rights from the Ohio to the great lakes and from the
mouth of the Susquehanna TO most northern point OF
Maine The law that provides for the return OF our run
away slaves operative long as the Coniederacy is
uubroken and whether resisted or evaded or obeyed
it is still the law Of the land and we are in position to
demand its enforcement. But what could the citizens

The returns SO far received, indicate the election
If Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency by very large
vote. With the probable exception Of New Jersey,
which is claimed for the usousts, the Black Repubt-
cans are supposed have carried every other Northern
State this side Of the Rocky Mountains.
The confirmation Of this sad intelligence yesterday
cast gloom Of despair about the city, which was plain
v denoted upon the countenances Of men Of all parties
The continual receipt of local defeats and local victories
seem to have little effect in ecitng that enthus-
asm which is usually concomant with such Intelligence
The "olorn hope" the Empire State has yielded 70 the
sway of sectionalsm That the only theme in the
mouths of the melancholy multitude, who unwilling to
give credi. to the startling yet not altogether uuexpect
ed fact continued to hope against hope itself Past
political differences have for time been buried Party
aumosities have subsidized into Weghtier reflections Ia

gloom-in the danger Of their surroundngs-Pdry has

From the ". q. Peaytsns, Ind
The first impulse of thousands Of good and true citi-
zeus Of the South doubtless is to resist in some decisive
FORM the accession to power of the head Of party which
stands in an attitude of avOwed hostility aud offensive
menace the Constitutional rights OF the slave States
Sensitive and ehgarc they.see little difference between
the uterances Of political contest, and the prac-
teal direction Of legislation and the direct use OF execu
tive power accomplish all Of the revolution in the pol
icy of the Government foreshadOWed by the factous
apostles of Repubcsnism.
That the organization of sectional party is hostile to
the spirit OF the COnstution-that the attitude oil ma
jOriies in the Northern States is standing menace,
should not be UNDECIDED but while bott Houses Of Con-
gress and the Supreme Court stand between the cohorts
of fanatcism aud the Constitution there be no ne
cessty and the part Of wisdom to abandon our
position in the Union for any doubtful advantage to be
secured out Of 1t.
Greater watchfulness higher prudence. strong effort
for concord of opinion and preparation for any posi-
BILE in the future is taught by the result of the
election Just closed. spirit Of Cancellation towards
each other becomes duty and patient torbearance with
opponents while discussing the grave matters to which
il gives rise are necessary There need be doubt Of
the position of our whole people, II attempt is made
TO reduce the doctrines Of Republicans into practice
Those who to-day refuse to make the victory lost a
Of revolution, would be the first to resent and re-
sst OPEN undsgused violation Of the rights reserved
to the States They not less true to the South be-
cause also true to the Union They do not less dan
ger because they determined 10 meet in the Union
And it is because Of their devotion, both to the State
and to the Federal Government that they will not make
an issue which unite the people Of the States who
will all be imperied by IT, in every material and social
interest.
Southern con(ederacy cannot be formed by States
while in the Union 1t forbidden by the Constitution,
as is any association Of States for any such purpose. The
secession Of State without concert with others, is
species Of dictation to its coequas Of the South. Dill
cuies ofevey character surround the subject aud it re-
quires deliberate preparation before single step be
taken. In the meantime shall see what necessity
may exist for action. We judge whether this Gov
eminent has proved failure, and all hope OF freedom
is lost.
Such we believe will be the decision Of the people oil
the South aud look for the exctements Of feeling to
give place to sober intelligent and deliberate purpose
take hasy step yet to be prepared for whatever
the future may have in store.
