fact, that county after county has spoken il
primary assemblage upon such a momentou
question as that which agitates the country
we may say, unanimously on one side Of tina
question, is without parallel. Can such re
volution fail to sweep the State. and decd
her course? The indications cannot be mis-
taken, nor can the result be doubted Thu

mit-VirginiaSs nersr, NEVER WILL BE SLAVES
We have noticed the counties, one after an
other, as they declared, with united voice
their determination. Below we sketch the re-
cent movements of some Of our oldest ant
most respected communities.
CHKsTERFIRLD.-A large meeting ct the
Courthouse on Monday, Of which JEREMIAH
HOBBS was Chairman and E. w. PoINDExTEf
Secretary, adopted resolutions declaring; Tha-
the time has come for Virginia to resume hel
powers delegated to the General Government
and that the Convention ought to pass at once
at Ordinance of Secession. These resolutions
We're opposed by q. G.. McRAE, and not one
word was said in reply but they were passed
with only three rotes in the negative,
Resolutions were then adopted, with like
unanimity, declaring that any attempt to col
lect the revenue in the seeded States, to re-
capture the forts or reinforce those in the
hands of the Government, would be an at
tempt at coercion which Virginia would be
bound in honor to resist against Border
State Convention; against any union with the
North in favor of Virginia acknowledging
the independence Of the Southern Confederacy;
and approving the course of the Delegate and
Senator in the Legislature, and the Hon. DAN
IEL q. DBJARNETrE in Congress-
The following resolu ton, offered by Dr. O.
r. WBIsIGEE, was unanimously adopted
resolution which it seems to US presents the
whole case in a nut shell, and is SO plain that

Here is:

Abolition, aud meets with our most decided
reprobation.
The resolutions were to be sent to Mr. Cox.
in the Convention. Chesterfield is beyond
question overwhelmingly in favor of seces-
sion at once.
NorTowAr.-The people of Nottoway have
added their influential voice to the thunder
peal Of indignant demand for independence
which the eoercive policy Of the Administra.
ton is awakening from all Virginia. At the
meeting held at the Court House, on the 4th
of April, spirited resolu tons were passed, con-
demning the dilatory proceedings of the Con
vention heartily approving the course OF
that true Virginia gentleman, their gallant
representative, LEWIS E. HARvIR in favor of
an immediate Ordinance of Secession: on
posed to any proposition looking to delay, and
to conference of the Border Slave States, be.
fore Virginia shall have passed her Ordinance
OF Secession; opposed to any other PROPOSE
ton being made by Virginia to the Northern
States, for the settlement of the present diff
culties; and earnestly entreating Western
Virginia to unite and make common cause
with the East. The meeting was addressed in
spirited and able speeches, adyoca ting imme-
date secession, by j. II. CAMPBELL, ESQ, and
by Capt. S. WHISPER, of Amelia, a Union
candidate for the Convention in the late cleo
tion, who alleged that the failure of the Peace
Conference had cured him of all his former
Union proclivities. We also learn that, at a
military muster in the same county, the friends
of the Union and of Secession We're req uested
to form separate lines, in order to ascertain
their comparat tive Strength and that, without
an exception, every man present ranged him
self under the Secession banner.
LorIsA.-On Monday Louisa held second
and very large meeting, A. f. BUTLER in the
Chair. J. p. THOMPSON Secretary. Speeches
were made by f. V. WINSTON, W H. CRANK,
and JAS. l.. GORDoS. Resolutions were unan-
imously adopted-in favor of immediat to Sc
cession, and the union Of Virginia with the
Southern onfederacy-deprecating the course
thxzf y<ra
the Border States as merely a ''device for de-
Aay''-denouncing as worthy Of the scorn and
reprobation of every true Virginian, any
members Of the Convention who may be in
correspondence with the Black Republican
Administration, directly or indirectly, devils.
