WHAT WILL VIRGINIA Do?
Under the above caption the Richmond Inquirer
advocates the calling of Convention in the State of
Virginia for the consideration of the present crisis
in national affairs. 1t says:
We do not believe that any portion of the people |
OF virginia will oppose the voice of the State as |
pronounced by Convention and ratified bv her |
people. Desiring Convention to decide this oues- |
ton, we shall not undertake to determine "what |
Virginia will do" That is a question for the peone
of the State; as for ourselves, and speaking for |
very many others who agree with us, We are for
united S0uth-in the Union if possible which we
much prefer-but if that be denied us, then we
for united South as the only means of preserving
Southern rights and Southern institutions. We do
not for q moment question the motives of any who |
may disagree with US.

An INCIDENT IN THE TRTAL OF TURKISH PAsHA-
An incident in the trial of Ahmet Pasha will serve
to show the depth of his treachery and the black
of his heart:
"Why did you allow this wholesale murder of
the people of the SuItan's city?' said Fuad Pasha
"To punish the Christians" coov replied the
late Governor General
"Punish the Christlansl For what / am not
aware that vou had any orders to punish the Chris
tians-let me them"
"The Christians had conspired against the gov
ernment of the Sultan, and wished to punish them
for their treacherv."
''Show me your evidence of this conspiracy"
said Fuad Pasha.
"Here it Isl read it, and see that have been faith.
iu to my MASTER" and Ahmet Pasha drew forth
long document, signed by the seals of about fifty Of
the principal citizens of Damascus containing a
plot against the Turkish Government.
"Send for the persons whose names are appended
to this document, and confront them with these sig
natures"
They were brought and examined and cross -ques-
toned, but no light could be gained. They denied
all knowledge of such a document, but acknow-
edged the resemblance of the signatures and seals
to their own. Their astonishment seemed so natu-
raj that Fuad Pasha was for moment puzzled to
know whether the Pasha deceiving him,
whether the Christians were really consDirators, or
the victims of some hellish fraud. A few moments
reflection suggested expedient which solved the
difficulty. The seal almakers of all Eastern cities
government; and as every mans signature is thus
in their hands-for Orientas, instead of signing
their names, small copper or brass seal
they placed under bonds, to prevent them from
committing forgery. An order given for the
arrest of the six sealmakers of Damascus, and they
were brought into Court. Being duly questioned
as to the number of seals made by them during the
year, they gave no indication of bad faith, when
Fuad Pasha announced the discovery of the forgery
| of fifty Christian names, and told them, they
hoped for pardon, to confess fully their guilt
| Greatly terrified, two seal-makers came for
| ward and threw themselves at his feet. They tes
tilted that they had been taken secretly to the house
| of Turkish Efendi, and were forced, by threats
of violence, to make duplicates of fifty Christian
| seals in their possession, but that they en-
| tirely ignorant of the use made of them, they
were sent away by the Efendi with reward, after
| having given solemn promise never to make the
| matter public
! Fuad Pasha arose from his seat, and after spit
ting in the face of Ahmet Pasha, ordered him to
the lowest dungeon.-Syrian Cor. Boston Traveller
Mr.. DOUGLAS IN New ORLEANs.-0n the occasion
of the reception of Mr.. Douglas in New Orleans on
Thursday last, he was welcomed to the city by Hon.
Pierre Soule, in brief address, to which Mr.. Doug
las responded as follows:
Mr. Chairman-Eacb time | visit New Orleans,
the kindness of my friends and your citizens places
me under increased obligations. ! appreciate this
reception. This vast crowd in the midst of this
pouring and drenching rain, and with still darker
press the heart of the patriot, shows that there is
| vet hope for glorious Union.
| This is no time to despair or to despOnd. The
bright will soon chase away these Clouds and
the patriots of the land, laying aside partisanship
and forgetting former partisan strife, will rally
one man and throttle the enemies of our country.
| [Cheers. Although an abOlitionist may have been
elected the Presidency of the United States the
gallant fight which the Democracy have made in
| the Northern States has secured represen tatives
enough, united with the South, to put Mr.. Lincoln
and his administration in minority in both Houses
of Congress. [Cheers.l There is no act he can do
which will violate impair the rights of any cti
zen of any State of this Union [CheeIs. This is
no time to indulge in elimination and recrlminaton.
The contest for the Presidency has ended, and
with it, allow the asperities which it has generated
to pass away. Cheers. But we must never forget
the principle upon which we stand. [Cheers.
can make any sacrifice short of principle. Men are
of no consequence, principles everything
| TCheers In the contest then, with the flag of the
Union over us, and non.interference by Congress on
the subject of slavery still emblaz0ned upon our
banners the national Democracy will drive back
abolitonism, put down sectionalism and restore
peace and harmony to this glorious country
[Cheers. l renew toyou, sir, and to these assem-
your kindness on this occasion. Immense ap-
plause.
