Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1861-03-08

rouehed IN the cool unimpassioned, deliberate
language Of the fanatic, with the purpose Of
pursuing the promptings Of fanaticism even to
the diemembsrment of the Government with
the borrors Of civil war. Virginia has the long
looked for and promised peace Offering before
her-and she has more, she has the denial or
ali Hope OF peace. Civil war must now come.
Sectional war, declared bv Nh. Lincoln, awaits
only the signal gun from the iRsuited Southern
Contederacy, to light It's horrid fires all along
the borders OF Virginia. No action Of our con-
vention can now maintain the peace. She mast
fight. The liberty Of choice is yet hers. She
NAV march to the contest with her sister
States Of the South, OF shs must march to the
conhicf against them. There is left no middle
course; there is left nc more peace; war mast
settle the conflict, aud the God Of battle give
victory to the right
We must be invaded by Davis or by Lin
coin. The former can rally fifty thousand OF
the best and bravest sons % Virginia, who will
rush with willing hearts and resdy hands to
the standard that protects the rights and de-
tends the honor Of the south-for every traitor
heart that offers aid to Lineola there viii be
many, many who win glory In the opportunity
20 avenge the treason BY 3 sharp and certain
death. Let not Virginlans be arayed against
zach other, and since we cannot avoid war,
let us determine that together, as people OF the
same State, we will defend each other, and
preserve the soil Of the State from the pollu-
ting foot OF the Black-R Republican invader.
Tne question, "where shall Virginia CO." Is
answered by Mr.. Lincoln. She must go to
war-and she must decide With whom she
wars-whether With those who have suffered
her wrongs, OF with those who have Inflicted
her injuries.
Our ultimate destruction pales before the
present emergency. To war to arms is now
the cry, and when peace is declared, If ever,
in our day, Virginia may decide where she VIII
finally rest. But for the present she has no
choice left; war with Lincoln or with Davis is
the choice left us. Read the inaugural care
fully, and then let every reader demand Of his
delegate in the convention the prompt meas
ures Of defense which it is now apparent we
must make.
The Nashville (Black)l Republican Banner
says;
Considering his Official oath to see that the
laws are enforced, the address must be con
sidered mild and conservative. We think it
sufficiently so to dispel all idea of Coercion"
and that il civil war Is to ensue, It will not
be upon his responsibility. The address is
ably written and its sentiments generally, will
be approved by all Union-loving men every
where.
The Nashville Patriot says:
We lay before our readers this morning the
Geographic report Of the inaugural, as we find
it in the Louisville papers. It is pretty full,
and, we presume, tolerably correct.
The Atlanta Coafederaey says
A very few words will do for this document.
It is a medley Of ignoranee, sanetimonious cant
and tender-footed buliyisn.
Seriously the future is ominous. We are
dealing first with men whs hate us bitterly in
spite even Of the thrift they endanger by 90
doing.
AM when the war begins, It will be not for
forts and custom houses, and armories, but for
the utter overthrow Of our very exictence as a
people. Here, then, is the issue. There stands
the foe, are you ready?
The Augusta Dispatch says:
Like his sorrowing, timid and imbecile pre-
d~ecessor, be talks of collecting the revenues Of
a country as essentially foreign to his authority
as Great Britain, and yet affects to see no
cause for war In such usurpation. Let him
experiment on this delusive theory, and he will
very soon get his eyes open to the fact that
there is a country not governed by the Chicago
platform, and be will also have excellent luck
if be succeeds in getting out Of Washington as
safely as he got into it.
