OWNING UP.-The Richmond Ezarinsr, whose
editor possesses the virtue Of ingenuousness in a
degree that puts to shame the dishgenuousness
Of nine-tenths Of the rest Of The Virginia disuion
press does not hesitate to follow South Carolina's
example In declaring that neither infractons Of
the fugitive slave law, denial Of Southern rights
In L. 8. Territories, nor the election Of Lincoln,
form the Cause Of the current oligarchic usurpa-
tion at the South; proclaiming that II grew out Of
the dissimilarity in a thousand ways Of the two
races Of whites inhabiting the North and South,
respectively. or course, the Examiner can see
nothing admirable in the northern race, nor any
thing in the southern race that is not admirable
Nor can II see anything wrong In the utter de-
suuction Of such government as that Of the
United States, the conceded author Of more bless
ings than any other government ever secured for
a people, only In order that the repug nance
which such thinkers at the South as itself enter
tains towards the North, may be gratiied.
We are glad indeed that the Virginia Disun-
ionists are being gradually compelled to show
their hand to the people of their State thus openly
As signally beaten not long since at the polls as
they were, when protesting to advocate disunion
only as the means Of making the Union perma-
nent, now that they are coming to avow that
their aim is to get Virginia out Of the Union for
ever, and that they SO aim because they individ-
ually hate the North rather than on account of
northern aggression, they will surely be defeated
In the States Congressional elections to come
Oh, as party were never before beaten there.
More than half those who voted for Disunion
members of the Virginia Convention did so be-
cause honestly believing that the only possible
way Of getting the Gulf States back into the
Union was by putting Virginia at the head Of the
southern movement. Had South Carolina and
the Montgomery council Of the oligarchy en-
phatically declared previou, to the Virginia Con-
venton election, as they have since declared, that
under no circumstances would they listen to ''re-
construction" propositions, and had the Virginia
Disunion press and orators placed themselves in
the Examiners present position instead Of cleo
uoneering upon ''recons;ruction,n not single
secession per Sc member would have been re-
turned.
Compelled to show their hand, az the disunion-
lists have been since that election, that every
Virginia voter must now realize that to vote for
secessionist Is to vote for permanent disunion for
the sake Of destroying the Government Of the
United States, to establish over Virginia in Its
stead the made-in-secret Constitution Of the oil
garchy, deprivation of the liberty of free speech
and the liberty Of the press augmentation ten fold
of taxation, exclusion Of white labor from the
South, &c, &c, 1t Is already fixed fact that not
u single dsunionist will be returned to Congress
from Virginia in May next.

Spiyi, Of the Morning Press.

The IntsIigsresr thinks the border slave states
would be Of more advantage In their present
position TO the Southern Confederacy as a wall Of
defence against Northern aggression, than II they
were to become members Of 1t, with all their
frontier exposed to fdnatical hatred and pillage.
The Republican says:
cit Is not the Criuenden platform, or the Peace
Conference platform, which Virginians, inclined
TO secession, really care about. They would re-
quire new platform IL they had the company
in the Union Of the Gulf States, and without that
company no platform will reconcile them to the
Union. And II Is not by giving them new guar
antees, but by showing them that Virginia can
sxiJf without the cotton States, that they may be
induced to give up the heresy Of secession"
