The Union men of this city should or
ganize without further delay; and in as
large, solid and compact bodies as pOssi-
BILE. 1t is true that our secession oppO-
nentS are very few in number, but it is
also true, that like the sscessionistS every-
where, they have taken advantage of the
apathy and sense of security, which up
to this time has prevailed among Union
men. This indifference has given them
confidence aud bolducss in their move
ments all along, and it is only in the last
day OF two that tho scales have dropped
from their eyes, and they have discovered
their true position with reference to the
overwhelming sentiment OF this commuui-

should be made to understand that
fact as quickly and euergetically as
possible. They should be given to under

they ought to betake themselves tolmore

We are glad to see the Government go

without stopping to inquire how the 6or-
der States may take il. 1t 10 high time
4 that It were tested what theirsreal purpose
| is; and the clear, decided language of tho
| President TO the Virginia Commissioners
was just what the occasion demanded

1 very much such position 10 the Union ms
Austria did to.the allies for the year pre-
ceding the Russian WAT. Austria WIS with
f Russia, both by virtue of geographical
! position and similarity of political insti-
tutions, yet, because of the revolutionary
/ Tendencies of her oppressed population, it
/ would have been almost sure death to her

TO keep the peace, just as Virginia has
done in like manner, too, negotiating be-
tween tue parties for months, yet always
taking precious good care TO Comui;t-her-
self TO nothing that should compromise
her relations with the favored power,
whose aggressions were the original cause
Of the war. The allies delibcrated and
temPorized with her, until the finally con-
Cluded that an open enemy would be bet
ter than doubtful ally, and leaving her
to her own course, marched to the fight.-
And the event justified their wisdom; when
the matter came TO hard blows, they had
no trouble from the '.ally up to certain
point" Virginia is for the Union on GER
tain terms. It is her duty to I've for the
Union Internationally; aud If she is not
prepared to do her duty to tue Union, the
quicker the matter is determined the bet
ter. The North has become impatient. al
most indignant with her equivocal atti-
tude. There was Virginia once that
would have sooner sunk from the face of
the earth than have occupied for a day
position so ignoble-a Virginia that
never gave man chance to doubt where
she was or what she would do. Our Gov
ernnent cannot afford to be embarrassed
and hampcred with any halF.hearted loyal
ty. II is prePHred to put forth its strength
its utmost strength, if need be; but,
strong us it is, it cannot afford to expose
itself to treachery. If Virginia will show
herself faithful to the Constitution and
the Union which she bad so glorious a
part in framing-if she will cut herself
loose from all sectional trammels, and
rise to the level OF her old patriotlsm-
there is not u true man ut the North who
would not hail her with unmeasnrrd re-
jOicing-nOt ~ man who would not rcmemhcr
that she was the home of Washington, ami
who would not forget that she gave birth
to Floyd. If her character is so chungcd
that she canuOt do this, it cannot he too
quickly known, and it is well that matters
have taken n shape that must soon settle
the truth beyond all question.
