The Alexandra Gazette SAYS: II is q
time when patriotism should be invoked
and wisdom exercised. But unfortunately,
"madness seems, 10 rnls the hour" with the
UItras and Disunionists in South Carolina
and their "affiiistors" in few Southern
States. The old cry, with which they used
to endeavor to strengthen their ranks, Of q
tainted South appears TO be entirely re-
pudiated. On the contrary. it is now evi.
dent that they do not expect and do not de-
sire q united South. upon any. ether terms
than those of immediate dissolution OF the
Union and disruption of the government
It turns cut that part Of the present pro-

more we reflect upon the subject The more

The Alexandria Gazette of Monday, thus
treats the secession movement Of South
Carolina:

what is more, Virginia will not unite in any

untoward result Of Presidential election.

telligent men who. on party and other con-
siderations, preferred Mr.. Breckenridge,
swo-thirds will be opposed to any present
h,tching on TO the car of Disunion, or any
reckless, improvident and unconstitutional
course. Virginia will have aroun her, and

The Richmond Dispatch refers to the vote
give AGAINST Lincoln in the Northern
States, and says that regard should be had
to it. and TO the conservative men, who
constitute large msjorilies in every Black
Republican State, who has struggled with
unfaltering constancy against the baleful
power of the party which hangs like
black cloud over the fate Of the nation.
The Lynchburg Virginian says: "Any
effort TO allie Virginia with State in re-
bellion, would create antagonism amongst
our own people that would be fatal to our
peace and prosperity. There is no just
cause now existing for resort TO extreme
measures, though, when that cause shall
exist, it will, we doubt not, find US united
in resistance to aggression"
The Fredericksburgh Herald says il is
the duty Of the Union men of the South
and of the North, OF the East and ofthe
West, to stand firm, TO counsel moderation
and prudence, TO oppose disuniOn and sec
tionaism now as they did before the cleo
lion, to constitute themselves the nucleus
Of the great national party that is to take
care Of this country hereafter, and to abide
their time patiently and confdedtly. Let
the Union flag be kept fang upon the
breeze. and it may yet wave in triumph"
The Valley Democrat says: Our voice
Is against the resistance Of the South 10 the |
election of Lincoln. God knows we des-
pise Black .Republicanism as much as any
man in the cauntry, but the simple election |
of any man in compliance with the laws
and Constitution Of our country affords no
just ground for secession and revolution.
