| Mr.. Gregg: The President of the United States
has thrown down the gauntlet in the message. He
has said that 1t is his duty to collect revenue and
he will 90 it. On one side of the federal govern:

Mr.. Miles spoke about the repairs at Fort Sumpter,
and mentioned the cause Of the resignation Of Sccre

men with five or six musicians. Major Anderson is
needul of troops. He felt the necessity, when the

this evening. Mr.. Yancey is doubtless gifted and an
eloquent speaker aud possesses, in an eminent degree
the faculty of making the worse appear the better side
But if he uters tonight the sentiments OF his "Scarlet

GINA audience and excite in all minds the most uupeas-
ant and painful emotions.
As Mr. YanSey is to speak here, however We hope he
will receive patient and courteous hearing and that ne
will also sketch his entire policy in frank, candid, bold
and manly manner. We hope he will tell US downright
without circumocuon equiyocaton whether, in the
event Of uCon election he is in favor Of aud will advise

Impossible The South cannot consent to exhibit the
first instance Of enlire degradation of the AngoSAxon
RAGS"
Mr.. John n DeSaussure replies:
"My answer is, that overt acts enough have been al
ready done by the legislatures and people OF the North
era States against the rights Of the Southern States TO
justify the latter to take any steps they deem proper 70
protect their rights and interests at any time. But the
election Of Mr. Lincoln viii make feel the more sure
that the power of the United States Government will also
be used still further against our rights aud interests
think therefore, that upon bis eec ion measures ought
TO be taken By the Southern States immediately forth
with to assemben convention to decide what course they
ought pursue and when they decide on the secession
Of the Southern States from the United States Il shall
have my full aud cordial assent"
Mr.. D. D. Perry says;
"In the event Of the election Of Lincoln and HAml
am in favor Of the immediate secession OF the Southern
States or any number OF them and unwilling TO wait Tor
any further overt act We have already waited too long
and talked too much-I am ready for action"
Are not such evidences conclusive that the Breckin-
ridge faction willing and anxious to dissolve the Un-
ion aud preeipate the South into revolution and civil
war; People of Virginia, calmly observe the signs Of
the times and act becomes patriots by voting
for John Bell and Edward Everett
