| The members ought t. come prepared to remain
instead of taking the usual ntermssion, until the
business OF the State, regular and extra, shall be
| transacted.
| From the Richmond Enquirer.l
virginia can no more prevent the dissolution of
| the Union alter Lincoln's election, than she can
| prevent that election. She will be pOwerless to
prevent civil war, with all its attendant horrors
Any one of the Southern States can and some of
them 'otu, involve the whole country. North as well
as South in the internecine strife of a bloodv and
desolatlng civil war. Virginia will, by a majority
of her people, decide upon resistance, while large
minority may desire to postpone resistance for the
covert act;" but hitched she is to the Southern
| States, she will be dragged into common DESTINY
| with them, no matter what may be the desire of
| her people. We believe that majority of the
people of Virginia, if the opportunity of a State
| Convention was allowed them, would vote for i'm
| mediate resistance and for common destiny with
the Southern States, and with this belief we would
advise the slave States not to hesitate to strike an
| early blow from fear that Virginia may hesitate in
| her duty to the South.
| [ From the Nashville TENN Unionl
| The Northern States unit in the strug-
! gle which threatens the existence of our Govern
| ment Why NAV not the South be so? Are our
lives, our liberty, our happiness less dear to us
than the ephemeral trumphs of party? Let the
| South lock shields and stand in solid phalanx, and
| the rushing onset of Black Repubcansm will be
stayed. Never more in the history of nations has
the adage been applicable than at the present
'United we stand, divided we fall" All is not vet
| lost. There is but one flag raised which has writ
ten upon it principles that are regarded by our
enemies as boldly antagonistic to theirs. Let the
whole South rally under that flag, and all will yet
| be well. The widest maniac can be quieted by the
determined eye of his master. Let the South cease
her pickering, and show her sectional enemies that
she will be equal iu rights, and fanaticsm will yet
cover and shrink from the contest
From the Sduannah RepuJlicanl
The aspect of the political horizon is dark and
no doubt the prospect of a sectional instead of ma
tional Federal Government to rule US is doing
| nIrfh aTf i
alarm. This may be we'll founded or not and in
any event the South, beyond the Justice and moral
power of her cause, is mpotent to control the re-
| suit. We have only to do our duty, as best
| Judgments and sense OF patriotism may prompt
and then leave the consequences to the majority of
the American people, and in the hands of that wise
Providence that has ever watched our nation
and protected it from harm.
| From the Nelo Orleans Beel
We honestly confess that the news received yes
terday has almost convinced of the certainty of
the success of the Black Republicans. If neither
Pennsylvania nor Ohio, nor Indiana can be rescued
we left with the faint and feeble hope that New
\ ork may stem the anti-slavery torrent 1t is
possible that the exertionS and influence of the con
servative citizens of the Empire State may suffice
to save the country from sectional President; but
| the election returns look too one.sded to Justify
much confidence in fortunate issue. Meanwhile
let us take it patiently and await events If Lin
coin is to be chosen President, it is well for the
SOuth-it is well for our trade and commerce, that
we should be prepared for the event. Far better
that we should have timely warning of mistor-
tune, that we may put houses in order to meet
! 1t when 1T comes, than to stand unnerved and
speechess before an unexpected and crushing shock
From the PetersJaag (Va.) Bulletin
In such condition OF affairs, with a hostile
| power marching upon us, their destructive purpo-
ses blazoned on their banners, how idle how worse
than idle, how criminal is it for the South to suffer
| itself to be divided on unimportant issues? Asope
| man the whole South should present united front
| to the advancing enemy. And yet, contending
| factions distract her counsels and in their mad
strife for ascendency, destroy her efficiency But
we cannot believe that such state of things is to
continue. We cannot believe that men will be so
blinded by party zeal, not to see that a common
danger threatens all, which only be averted by
union of our entire strength. The institutions of
the South are placed in serious peril her indepen-
dence IS assailed and her subjugaon determined on
| Retreat is impossible. We must face the danger
| when 1t comes Surrender means destruction and
compromise is treason In the Union the battle is
| to be fought, and that right quickly. 1t becomes
| then, the duty of every Southern man to rally to
the defence of what he holds most dear-the insti-
| tutions under which he was reared, and the Con-
| sttution which uphods them.
Let past differences be overlooked, and present
feuds be buried, and in the presence of a common
danger, let us be united in common defence.
| From the Augusta Ca Sentinel
we confess therefore, that there is little pros
pect of Lncon's defeat according to our reading
| of the signs. And still 'hope springs eternal in
the human breast, and until the election is over
men will hope that he may be defeated. The time
| HaS come Wnen, In our judgment, the South should
| take speedily decisive stand, when differences
should cease among us, as far as NAV be, and we
all prepare with one accord to act together. Is it
desirable that the Union be preserved? We be-
lieve decided majority of our people are pre-
pared to say eyes, if sectionalism be defeated "
| We say so, with all our heart; we do not desire
the severance of the COnfederacy; but if section
aism is to rule, all must that the Union is at
an end. Bayonets cannot preserve it, and no
patriot desires that baynnets should for WHY de-
sire the Union if force alone can preserve it? 1t
is then assuredly no longer the Union our fathers
made-consent is its only, it is its best, cement
From the Louisville Journal
| We think Mr. Lincoln an honest man, and it is
our sincere belief that if he shall be elected Presi
dent in November, he WILL before the expiration
OF six months from that time, regret his own sue
cess as deeply and bitterly as any of his political
opponents will.
From the NeU Orleans Commercial BuEetin1
Revolution is measure of last resort for the re-
dress of grievances either imaginary or real No
enlightened people will ever try it until all other
means for the accomplishment of the desired OBJ
ect have been exhausted in vain. 1t is an inherent
right lying back of all laws all forms of govern
ment, all compacts all constitutions and is inalien
able. 1t is right that strikes at the verv root of
civilized society, at the very of social life
| In commercial and agricultural country of ex-
tended resources, the evils become truly frightul
1t must necessarily operate as a complete paralysis
| upon all business transactions, and spread havoc
and ruin far and wide. The evils of revolution are
aggravated hundred fold if the antagonistic par
ties to it are about equal, of the same race and
lineage, have access to the same means of mutual
destruction and those are of the most pow
| erful and deadly character In a revolution in the
United States, for instance, both parties would
have all the modern improvements of slaughter,
rined cannon, and guns carrying shells and shot
| from five to nine miles. Both parties would have
immense resources, both the highest military skill
both would exhibit unsubdued bravery, and des.
| perate determination to conquer.
| From the Atdldnta Ga J Locomotive
Since Pennsylvania and Ohio have spoken ont
upon the great political question of the day in their
home elections it is general concession that Abe
Lincoln must be our next President! And this has
produced different effect in different minds; for
while an overwhelming majority depore it, others
IN our very midst rejoice over it as the consumma-
! ton OF their devoutest hopes. There is decided
majority of this first class, however, and who are
the true Inhabitants of the South and the real pro-
prietors of its soil, who have written upon their
hearts with clenched teeth: Abe Lincoln so HELM us
| hearen, shall never be nert President
| From the Columbus (Ga.J Herald
we have for long time had very little hope that
the South would ever free herself from the domi-
nation of the North; but within the last few weeks
| our hopes have been greatly revived. We believe
| now that the Union will be dissolved if Lincoln
| should be elected.
| good many people are in favor of Southern
Convention for that purposes opposed to
that. The best plan and the only is for South
Carolina or Alabama or Mississippi, to go out. We
are sorry to say that do not believe that Georgia
| will take the lead. But let one, or all of those
States move, and Georgia will support them in it;
and when the issue comes il it should be necessary
to fight, we think that the great majority of our
citizens would shrink from the idea OF helping the
Black Republicans to murder their old friends and
nelghbors. At all events, want to see the ex-
pertinent made.
