why let them come aud should Virginia again be
thrown on her sedefence let it be as sovereign and
independent State, sbsoved from all connection with
treacherous allies and eschewiDg all compacs with them

language OF those who speak, perhaps from experenccf
"a covenant with death and an agreement with hell-
Sufficient for that day will be the evil thereof But were
the apprehension Of another invasion of Brownsts the
only obstacle, the Union might still stand mistaken for
ages Notwithstanding the failure Of the United States to
give us the promised protection Ii is true that the yio
laton of so important feature of the Federal COnsttu
ton would leave us the option of canceng the entire
contract But that protection surely which left for
40 years unprovded for before it missed and which
may be as little needed for 20 years to come, which
the only occasion when it might have been useful was
not called for and which Virginia may still disdan to
ask can hardly be regarded of sufficient moment to
require immediate separation Not only is the danger
too remote; but should it be realized, Virginia may
resume that right of sedeence which to some extent
she yielded in consideration of the promise of federal
protection. She has ample of her own-the sole
means on which she safely rely-to defend herself
against all enemies who come within her reach
But 1t IS not enemies sent from the camp OF our allies
TO lie in ambush and spring upon in the dead hour Of
night IS the master spirits behind who urge them
on and Who keeping themselves out of harms way, hur
their poisoned missiles from distance; the men, who
too long have swayed the councils OF the Northern
States and to great extent those of the Union; who
boldly avow the Jesuca creed that their ends, afro
