STOOD these matters. Inc truth must pc
proclaimed, and as a public journalist, It is
our imperative duty to apprise them Of the
facts and warn them Of the danger: DEM
ocrats Of Virginia, we call upon you, who
have agreed to support this "bolters" tick
ct, to pause and reflect ere it is too late
Let no man, as he values the Union. and
the peace and continued prosperity Of the
country. unite himself with the Secession
party. Look at the conduct of the "bolt-
ers' themselves. They are now becoming
| frightened at the results Of their own ac
ton. They have sown to the wind and they
are now about to reap the whirlwind. The
people are becoming fully aroused to sense
Of the danger which threatens the country,
and voc botide the authors of the ruin, if it
be not averted. The great "Bolter'' from
Alabama has become frightened, and has
gone to New York to speak to the people
there. For whom, Democrats of Virginia,
do you suppose this leader Of sece ssion is
haranguing the people of New York ? Is it
for Breckenridge and Lane? Is it for Con-
gressional Intervention Mr.. Yancey is
pleading? Does he proclaim that Mr.. Doug
las and his friends are no better than Lin
coin ? None Of those things has Mr.. YAM
cey done in New York But he implored
the people to vote for the fusion ticket-19
of the electors being for Douglas, 10 for
Bell, and 6 for Breokinridge. Has it come
to this Are the Breckies so hard run as
to back down from their pretended ground
of principle, and go for Douglas the traitor,
and Bell the abolitionist? Such is the fact
SO far as Mr. Yancey is concerned. VIM.
L. Yancey, who denounced Douglas as a
traitor in Virginia, and proclaimed Bell to
be an abolitionist, is urging and imploring
the people to vote for Douglas and Bell to
save the country and the Constitution =!
Dees Mr.. Yancey see the handwriting on
the wall, or has he become convinced that
we, the National Democracy, have been
right from the first, liz calling upon the peo-
pie to sustain Stephen A. Douglas, as the
only man who can defeat Lincoln? Yam
cey is frightened--he is afraid Of the wrath
of the people. The secession movement
must go down in the South, and every man
who has led it must 60 down with it. How
utterly idle and ridiculous the boast Of these
men, that they are contending for principle !!
In Virginia Mr.. Yancoy proclaimed that in
order to sustain the Constitutions, Douglas
must be voted down as traitor and free
soiler in disguise. In New York be tells
them that in order to sustain the Constitu-
ton, you must vote for Douglas-Douglas
the agitator and advocate Of free-soilism, as
be proclaims in the South. Can this man
face an honest and intelligent people after
such miserable Inconsistency?
Mr.. Yancey is, we repeat it, alarmed. =
His darling scheme cannot succeed. The
people Of the South will repudiate him and
his candidate, and with them bis doctrine
Of Intervention. This is what Mr.. Yancey
fears? What else could induce him to 60
for the Douglas and Bell electors in New
York? If he was honest here, how can he
anywhere ? But more than that-he tells
them to go for Bell and Everett. with their
10 electoral votes. Bell, the abolitionist,
supported by VIM L. Yanoey in New York !!
We tell these seced9rs what we told them
from the 6rst-their days are numbered. =
The people are repudiating them all over
the South. They have been beaten in Mis-
souri,, Georgia, Arkansas and Kentucky,
and wherever an election has taken place.
And now this great Mogul ofthe party goes
to New York and cries aloud for the Doug
las men to save the Constitution, and the
Union under the Constitution
Mr.. Yancoy, like his candidate, won't
answer as to what he will do if Lincoln is
elected He says he will do what Alabama
does. Pray, what viii you tel Alabama to
do, Mr.. Yancey? Come out, gentlemen
don't dodge. You are down, and you
know it. People Of Virginia have nothing
to do with the secession cuncern-iti is play
ed out, and everybody knows It.
