sIrs, that We should all reason thus, would
the state be SIRE TO go for those principles
which You acknowledge to be correct and
right Why, you must see at once that de-
feat would be certain. This argument shows
your specu!atons to be erroneous and based
on false and weak premises. 1t is Just as
much your duty to g. and vote as it is ours or
your neighbours Besides your staying at
home encourages others to commit the same
error. Now let US say that Vermont is en-
pected TO give our state ticket thirty Mou-
sa"d mcjo'ify and uiH do it if you but throw
to the winds this false and dangerous rea-
soning and 60 to the polls and vote. BY
giving this large majority, as our election
comes off the first of all the free states, we
shall encourage those states which are to fol-
low. On the other hand, should we succeed
in only meager majorities, there is great dan
ger OF its operating right the reverse There
fore let every Republican be at the polls, and
not only vote himself. but see that his neish h.
Dor, VINO may be little wavering, is there
and votes with him. In this way We shall
have vote for correct principles that will
as'onlsh even ourselves, and put to flight the
opposing forces of the Democracy"
" EX-Speaker Orr of South Carolina,
has just published letter. in which he de-
clares, without if or ands, that Lincoln and
llamlin are sure to be elected. This he
thinks Will in part be owing to the dis
fractions and divisions of the party. lie de-
clines, therefore, although desiring the cleo
ton CT Breckenridge and Lane, to accept a
nomination rendered him for the Legislature.
He sees no remedy and no hope for the
South, except in separation from the non
slaveholding States measure he would not
recommend his State to take alone but if a
few other neishboring States of kindred
sympathies and feelings will cordially COOP
crate with South Carolina in such move
ment, he is ready to give it his countenance
and support. South Carolina has been vir-
taally in state of rebellion ever since the
passage of the Tariff act of 1928, really the
most benificent act ever passed on the sub
ject; and she would long since have renew
ed the attempt she made in consequence of
that act, to break up the Union, if she could
have obtained frcm Virginia, Georgia. and a
few other slave States cordial cooperation.
/ 1t may be, perhaps, that this threatened re-
beiion is nothing more than stage trick to
brighten Northern men from the exercise of
their honest judgment in the Presidential e.
lection.
If that is so, We will venture to say, in be-
half of Republicans, that they will treat i,
with the contempt it deserves As to North
ern Democrats we don't exactly feel author
.zed to speak.

 A match game of Wicket came off on satur- day last, between thirty players of Wins'ed ana thirty of Norfolk. A large crowd of witnesses assembled on the ground, and great interest was manifested in the game.
