Enquirer.
We would call the attention Of our readers 70
the editorial OF the NEw YORK HERALD, copied
into this mornings Inquirer. However much We
may deprecate the many harsh phrases with which
the HERALD, at times, has sgmatized Southern
men, states and pcliiics, yet impartial justice de-
mands lhe need Of Southern gratitude Tor It's man
y and bold assaults upon the sectional enemies OF
the Union with which The HERALD is surrounded.
Justly appfeciating the importance OF the Union
TO New lork city, and fully aware how destructive
70 all rational greatness would be It's dissolution,
the HERALD has for months devoted the best euer-
1ies OF its talents influence and power TO open
the eyes OF the North 10 the impending danger
which now threatens alike the North and the South
some facts az arguments with which the HERALD
plies the Northern States, address themselves with
peculiar force 10 the people Ot virginia AT this
time. As the HkRALD inv0kes men ot all parties
~ The North 10 unire far the preservation OF the
Union, so we tllupon all men at the South 10 con-
cenuate their Votes upOn Mr. Breckenridge, as the

republicanism ON the one hand, and from the too
hatty action OF The extreme Southern states on
the other.
should Virginia vote for John Bell at the ap-
preaching election, as she viii by so doing dis
connect herself from the southern safes ana de-
prve her influence OF all It's power. 81 she will in
yite aggression bp inducing the belief that sue u
already semi niabolitvnized- The southern states,
seeing their cause deserted by Virginia. and
alarmed at the near aptroaeh OF abolieonsm upon
their own borders, will sot hesitate q moment TO
dissolve their connection with the Union that
has suhAidiztl Virginia from her ancient State
rights tai'h 10 the revived and rcmod, He'd federal
ism oi lSG0. The Northern fanaiies, encouraged by
| ihe vciosy won by the defeat OF Breckenridge In
\ Virginia will hot delay the overt act,h conscious
that Botts aud bis myrDidons, fom the countc-
nance that has been given TO bin, will be able to
bring allies ir lm the ranks sf their enemies. And

There will be no remaining border States when

The HrRAID msunderstands in saying that

was, that virginia's dtser,ion Of the South, by
voting for John Bell, would be regarded by those
States or prognostlc of future abandonment of
the cause of constitutional rights, and that this
would create such apprehension throughout
those States that they would Instantly apandon
the Union and form a Southern confederacy, In
which, by diplomacy and arms. they would hope
70 find the protection denied them in the federal
Union.
