that the speech may be found in the Ap,

3Oth Congress, lst session. page "a:
ANY people, anywhere being inclined
and having the power the right to rise up

form new one that suits them better.
This is most valuable, a most sacred right
ii right which, we hope and believe, is
to liberate the world, Nor is this right
confined to causes IN whicn the whole
people OF an existing government may
choose to exercise it ANY PORTION
Of such people that can, mag revolution

territory as they inhabit. More thar
mg0riyof any portion of such people may
reyolutionize, putting down miqority in

may oppose their movements. Such mi-
nority was precisely the case Of the To,

OF revolutions not to 90 10y old lines, or old

ful to the Union, we place in our pictorial
illustration, in light shaded lines, with
Missouri and Western Virginia. consider

Kentucky in territorial extent Is 400 miles
long and l7O miles in breadth, containing
$3.50 square miles. 1t has population
OF ], ,567, Of which 1861 are liable to
military duty. This State, from its p.ox-
unity 10 tie free States, mas among its
citizens many thoroughly Unior men. The
secession leaders. under instructions from
Their nasier, JEFF Davis, are endeavoring
to make the State adopt the suicidal
course now being pursued by the confed-
Grated rebels. How far they will succeed,
time will prove. At present Kentucky
remains firm, and we shall not despair as
long as she maintains her present course.
The western part Of this State occupies
one bank Of the Ohio river, and the trade
between her and OHIO is so intimately
blended that separation would be very
injurious to both, out especially to Ken
lucky.

" No man.. no association of men, no

draw itself from the Union, of its own
accord. The same power which knit us
together can only unknit. The same for,
mality which forged the links the
Union is necessary to dissolve it. The
majority Of States which form the Union
must consent to the Withdrawal Of ang one
branch OF it. Until that consent has been
obtained, any attempt to dissolve the
Unor, or obstruct the efficiency OF its
constitutional law, is treason--treason Ia
all inten;s and purposes. Any other doc.
trine, such as that which has been lately
held forth by the Federal Republican. that
any enc State may withdraw itself from
the Union, as in an abominable hercsy-
which strips its author of every possible
pretentlOn TO the name or character Of

We call, therefore, upon the Govern,
ment Of the Union to e&ert its energies
when the season shall demand it, and seize
the first traitor who shall spring out of the
hot. bed Of the Convention Of Hartford
The iIlustrio7s Union, which has been Sc.

from north to south, and two hundred and
forty broad, and contains population Of
l.0S2, ,S27, of which number $4,000 males
are liable to military duty. Savannah,
situated on the river of that name, about
seventeen miles from its mouth, is the
great seaport commercial mart of the
State. The mouth Of the Savannah river
is defended by Fort Pulaski, on Cockspur
Island. This fort is an immense, built Of
brick, and mounts l50 guns, some ofthem
of improved make and finish. The fort
is garrisoned by six hundred men. To
the south of this fort, on Tybee Island,
the secession troops have erected IN i'm
mense sand fort, in which has been placed
a heavy battery of guns. This work has
an extended sea range, and will prove a
formidable customer to a bloclading or
attacking squadron. There are upwards
of two thousand troops between the city
of Savannah and the mouth of the rives.
Fort Jackson, a small fort two miles from
Savannah, has garrison of two hundred
men and an armament of six or eight
heavy guns. This State seeded from
the Union January l9, 1861, by vote OF
20S TO SO.

Tho heart may wear doep disguise,
Though friendship be its token
The man who smiles with blandest grace,
Perchance may seal your sorrow

Be on your guard and look af,,r,
Believe not all thou nearest;
And look at mOrtals 0s they are
And trust the one who's nearest
The hope that brightens Time and Fate,
May charm thee as its flowing;
But like the sun ut Heavens gate,
'Tis sinking while its glowing!
Be on your guard by day and night.
When beauty's smile is glist'ning
For though your deeds be out Of sight,
The angles may be list'ning.
Calm Pleasure has her garlauds woye
By Fancy's snowy fingers,
And Truth can turn a charm to love,
Ard music while it fingers
Be on your guard for life may end
As youths gay dreams are shining

Though Joy be round il twining

From thence bright words come streaming,
Below wreath whose flowers meet,
And kiss loves soul while dreaming.

VIRGINIA..


Virginia the last OF the seeding States,
is 27O miles long, and 200 broad at its
greatest Breadth, containing 81 ,3j2 square
miles of territory, with a population of -
593,l99, including slaves; of the whites,
22l ,OOO are liable to military duty. The
State, from its Coutiguity to PENNSYLVANIA
and the capital, Is now the theatre Of war
to put down rebellion. The aggregate
number Of troops within her border in
the secession army cannot be far from So
600 men, and opposed to them is an equal
number of troops loyal to the American
flag and the Union. The federal govern
ment occupy several important Strategic
military points within the oorler Of the
State, which, for Il time being, give it a
partial and not an unlmportap: degree of
possession of the whole State. The o"di-
nance ot secession, which passed the State
Convention on the 18th uIt., will be sub.
mitlcd to the people for ratification or re-
lection on the 23d inst. The rebels have
fortified themselves, and are in force at
Norfolk, Harper's Ferry, Richmond and
Lynchburg, Stanton, Yorktown, West
Point and the advance from either side
would be productive of severe contest at
arms.
