II was an exceedingly conservative proposition which
Virginia Was unable TO appreciate. The times nave
now passe ed beyond it, Virginia may now call, but the
South will not answer. She Is completely demoraizsd
in the estimation Of the South; and no Southern State,
intent yindang her rights and preserving her IN
stutiOus, would 90 into conference with her. She
has placed the Union above the rights and institutions

Southern States in order TO bring them down to tho

disregard their counsels. They want no conference

While II is out of the question for any one but a

while every knows that in the Revolution, in the

where the volunteers OF the various States marched
eide by side in generous emulation, South Carolina
fought in the very van Of the battle, there Is one
! danger which we do not think her public men have
sufficiently considered, and which may well appal the
nerves of Mr. ke, who proposes, ike the blind
Samson to pull down the pillars Oh the Federal temple

they would not attempt. We believe that Mr.. Keitt
