Gnu. Letcher and pisunion.

Gov. Lerchor, of Virginia, seems destined
TO "foliow in tho footsteps of his i.lusrious
predecessor" Wise. Some had hoped bet
ter things of him. but in vain. In his Mes
sage to the Legislature, ho says:
This controversy has now reached a
point which demands a speedy settlement
il the Union is to be saved from dissolu-
ton. If the aggrcssons to which we
have been subjected for so many years
are to be repeated, il mutual dlsIrust and
suspicion are TO continue, and if the elcc-
tion of a sectional Republican candidate
to the Presidency in 1860 is to be super
added, il is useless to attempt to conceal
the TACT that in the present temper OF the
Southern people it cannot be and will not
be Submitted to. "The irrepressiblc con
fct" doctrine, announced and advocated
By the ablest and most distinguished
leader Of the Republican party, is an
open declaration of war against the insti'
tulion OF African slavery, wherever it cx-
lists. and would be diSloyal to Virginia
and the South it l did not declare that
the election Of such a man, entertaining
such sentiments ard advocating such doc
trines. ought to be resisted by the slave
holding States. Tie idea of permitting
such a man to hare the control and dirfc

Mr.. Hutchins, M c. form the Trumbull
District.

Tho cries, conStornation and terror Of
tho women and children who had taken

New Member from Ohio" quietly but with
deadly effect, dropped IN their midst po'

for tho plurality rule. backed up with the
previous question. For moment they
seemed para wed with fright,so handsomely
unexpectedly and cooly was the cold stee
drawn upon them by this adroit member -
but this silence was that which precedes

long unearthy yell went up from tho fill

The Southern Fury in the Senate
Chamber.

The New York Heraids Washington cor
respondent thus describes the violent assault
in debate of Southern Senators upon Mr.
Doolittle of Wisconsin, on Monday, the 10Th:
"The executive session of the Senate to-
day was probably the most violent and bru-
tai that ever disgraced the Senate of the U.
States. Mr.. Chngman made severe speech
against the election of Seward. Mr.. Doc
littIe replied TO Clngman, and charged
upon the South with severity when Mr..
Toomhs gave tho lie to Doolittlo and Doo-
little flung it back, and CONSERVATION fol-
lowed, and what followed that your reporter
cannot toll, savo hurried adjournment
do not hoar that notes have passed to night
but oil concur that the scene in the Senate
to-day was never exceeded.
"Since writing the above l havo learned
that tho cause of the difficulty grew out ol
charge brought by tho Republicans thai
Mr.. Faulkner was in favor of disunion. Al
evidence of this, an extract of his recon
speech concerning Browns raid at Harper
Ferry was quoted. This brought tho entir'
South to tho support of Mr.. Faulkner ant
his disunion sentiments. who, il was beloved
up TO that time, would have been rejected

Doolittle Messrs. lverson and Clay ar
said to have been quito as bitter as MI

been very seyore. Tho old Senators sa
