A contemporary remarks that the Richmond

the. rs'ps OF the Virginia people than in their
Judgment and common sense. Il hns been In,
boring zealousiy for some time to induce the
Charles,on people to attack Fort Sumter. utter
ly regardless OF the lives that would be Io., in
such an enterprise. for the purpose of stimula-
ting the Virginia State Convention To pronounce
for Secession. Failing in this. il now appeals
TO the fears OF the people.

Ths Secession party which was than defeated,
but not sileeced, has never pretended that any
esher conAtsuction could be put upon that vote.
ssisber have they denied in authority - the de-
Hibernate utterance Of Virgins. Il il true that
none Of IN 20 tar misunderstood the prevailing
sentiment Of the Old Dominion ~ To con,truc
the result into m unconditional rcpudiation Of
secession theories. Virginia wished to remain
In the Union. but she r-linquished none Of her
demands for concession and redress and nobody
has ever doubted that she would withdraw and
cast in her lot with the Gulf States. II her noble
stand on the National aide Of the controversy

terday was factious opposition. based upon
grounds so frivolous, in comparison with the
momentous issues involved, that we can only
wonder that gentlemen Of their pretension. were
not ashamed to offer it. All candid men will
coneede that the prompt adoption Of these re.o-
iat'ons would do more towards the restoration
OF peace and prosperity than any event that in
likely to occur in Washington in the next three
or four days; and AFTER these three or fonr days
are added to the past, for aught we know to the
contrary, this unhappy country may remain in
ITS present condition of incertitude and di,,rac-

One of the best practical jokes
OF the season is the appointment
OF "old bloody Tom Corwin" as
Minister to Mexico. "Bloody
1om' was in Congress at the time
OF the Mexican War, and with
Old Abe opposed voting supplies
to the American army, but on the
contrary said .''were he Mexican
ne would welcome the American
troops with bloody hands to hos
pltable graves" "Old Tom" .will
OF course be at home there as soon
as the Mexicans ascertain he is
the same Corwin who befriended
them in the Mexican War.

LECTURE.

Next week we shall publish an
address prepared by F. NJ. Bald
win Esq, by request for delivery
before the Order of Good lem
plars.
THE address is credit to Mr.. B.; com.
pliments to the order nc cessarily omitted this
weekly
The best citizens of Howard
county, those who for moral worth
and intellectual capacity stand a
full head and shoulders above any
in the institution, are summarily
disposed Of by the application of
''black balls" while those of the
better class that have crossed
it's portals, are getting out as
fast as resigning will accomplish
that result. Others dare not re-
sign, as a resignation is the sig
nal for expulsion and disgrace, so
far as such a motley crew can
work disgrace.

ACTs SPEAK LOUDER THAN WoRDs.
On the 1st February, 1850, Senator
John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, pre-
sented two petitions from Isaac Jeffries
and other citizens of Pennsylvania, and
John F. Woodward and others, praying
that ''some plan might be devised for
the dissolution ofthe American Uu-
ion." Mr.. Webster of Massachusetts,,
was unsparing in his denunciations Of
the petitions, and suggested that there
should have been a preamble to them
in these words:
"Gentlemen, members of congress:
Whereas, at the commencement of the
session, you and each of you, took your
solemn oaths, in the presence of God
and on the Holy Evangelists, that you
would support the Constitution of the
United States-now, therefore, we
pray you to take immediate steps to
break up the Union and overthrow the
Constitution IS soon as you cam"
Yet this petition received three votes

A southern clergyman says that in
all his reading ofthc Bible, he never
succeeded in finding any account of an
AboGtionist in it. We beg to differ
with him, for we believe there is one
referred to frequently-we mean Satan.
He is the genuine, original, Simon Pure
Abolitionlst. He has always been in
favor Of abolishing everything that was
good. He was the first advocate of the
"higher law,' He tried the experiment
in heaven, and got kicked out for his
audacity, and then undertook to content
himself with the reflection, that it was
''bettcr to reign in hell han serve in
heaven" which seems to be about the
only consolation left to Lincoln now.
