Let Washington be Defended.


While Congress are amusing themselves
with propositions Of compromise, which il
they were yet more humiliating 70 the Free
states than they are, some Of the rebelliOus
States would scornfully refuse while cowed
apparently by the insult TO our flag, and the
brutal treatment Of Northern citizens, our
representatives are preparing to yield to
threats and violence what they have hereto
fore denied from principle; while they are
assuming the right to trample, as the ser
.rants of the people, upon the verdict render
ed by the people in their own sovereignty at
the polls; while amid the secession day BY
day Of Southern States, they are drafting
bills to introduce new States of extraordinary
magnitude, that will possibly secede within
month to join the new COnfederacy; while
monster petitions from Northern merchants
ready to buy peace at any sacrifice, are being
borne to Washington by gentlemen so en-
raptured with the happy influence Of Slavery
on our national prosperity, as now exhibited
70 the world that they would extend it over
every foot Of Southern territory; while the
country is being shorn of its strength, robbed
Of its property, and cajoled by Mr. Buchan-
ans gracious assurance that be will drive Mr.
Lincoln to be inaugnrated in his own carri-
age and while stocks at the Exchange GO up
and down, and Wall street wags as merrily
as though the South was as quiet as lamb
by day and night the plot goes on for seiz-
ing Washington, for preventing the Congress
sional announcement of the peoples will,
and for proclaiming a Slave COnfederacy on
the ruins OF our glorious Republic.
We say to the North and West and East,
that there is not an hour to be lost if you
would prevent this catastrophe. Let the
people, their Governors, and their Legisla-
lures realize the imminence of the danger
Let them insist that Congress shall act on the
instant, and make e searching scrutiny into
the defenses of Washington. Let them de-
mand that the oath OF allegiance be rendered
anew to every officer of Government, civil,
military and naval, as was done by General
Scott to his officers at Charleston during her
FIRST rebellion, when we had a Government
and Jackson was at its head. Let every man
who hesitates 70 take the oath be placed in a
position where he cannot play the traitor; /;
and let Northern policemen and Northern
troops in sufficient .umbers be joined TO the
police and militia of the District, that Wash
ington may be in the hands of defenders
whose numerical and moral force will cause
me cherished plan of the rebels to be in truth
abandoned.

ELDER EDMOND RICHMOND, Pastor of the
Baptist Church in Sheffield, ,Ashtabula county,
Ohio, died on the oath inst, in the Slst year
Of his age. His father, Gideon Richmond and
an elder brother, Abiather, served their coun-
try in the Revolutionary War. For sixty
years the subjects of these remarks was q
worthy member of the Church, and for more
than fifty years faithful and successful preach
er of the Gospel He was pastor of the Bap-
tist Church in Milford, 0tsego county N. Y,
for about twenty years, during which time
the church increased from small beginning
to a strong body, and erected a substantial
house for divine worship. Thirty years since
be came to Ohio, preached seven years in the
township Of Rome, gathering a church above
fifty members, and the rest Of his labors were
devoted tothe church in Sheffield. His perseTer
ing energy had collected church, and erec-
ted suitable edifce, with its cupola and bell,
and on the occasion ofhis funeral it was filed
to its utmost capacity, while they listened to
a discourse by the Kew. 2. W. Mills, of Con-
neaut from John I4:2s,-'Ifye loved me, ye
would rejoice because said, l go unto my
father.' He leaves a posterity of twenty child
rem, including those connected BY marriage
sixty-seven grand children, and twenty-nine
great grand children: total one hundred and
sixteen souls. His death was peaceful, and the
triumph of Christian Faith. J. L. R.

Every man who walks upon the streets oi
Nashville is bound to feel the importance OF
this question.
Six weeks ago business was active. Many
hands were engaged on the work OF the Cor
poiation. NOw they are mostly discharged.
No new houses are being built, and hence all
the bricklayers, carpenters and painters are
out of employment Clerks are discharged
until there are but few left, and the few that
are retained h2ve nothing to do.
Most of the hands hitherto employed in
shops about the city are thrown out Of en-
ployment. We see able bodied, industrious
men on our streets begging for work at any
price, and some begging for bread for their
starving children. We heard Of one man
yesterday, an industrious man, who said that
he aud FIVE other men had been hunting for
work for two days, without being able to get
any at any price.
This man said his children had not had
anything to eat for eighteen hours, and pro-
posed to do anything for a little bread. He
said that he had stopped his children from
school on that account. He remarked that
he felt desperate; a lady remarked to him
that be would soon be desperate enough 10
Join an army, as the uisunionists would soon
ask him to do. he replied, that he never
would fight against his country, but felt
almost ready to say that he would join an
army to punish the men who had brought his
country and himself a9d family almost to
ruin .Ra5hViIls Democrat.

The Charleston Mercury says that 'Sourh
Carolina is a law to herself" Many would
like to see that law executed.
Those fellows who go for submitting un-
conditiOnally to South Carolina have the i'm
pudenee to call other people submissionists.
A letter writer says that Gov. Floyd is sub
ect to fits OF abstraction. Certainly the pub
lie money was when he was Secretary.
Why don't South Carolina, instead q
choosing the rattlesnake as her emblem, take
the cotton mouthed snake2 The latter is
quite as VenomOus as the former.
The students Of the Nashville Medical Col
lege have presented a gold-headed cane to
Gen. 10 Lane. Pity the Generals own head
isn'tof as much account as the canes.
Kentucky is determined to resist aggres-
sion and maintain her rights but she does
not see in the conduct Of the Northern States
any good cause for her making an ass OF her
self.
A South Carolina paper advised the State
to adopt flag with the cross upon it the
emblem of the Christian religion. But she
has adopted the Crescent, the emblem OF Ma
hOmedanism.
Many Of the South Carolinians not only
have Yankee arms in their hands when they
muster warlike parade, but Yankee arms
around their necks in the privacy Of their
own homes.
The fruits of secession, which South Caro-
olina thought so beautiful and tempting,
turn out to be apples of Sodom. We hope
she may enjoy the pies and dumplings they
will make.
E1-Secretary Floyd says that be will not,
if God helps him, permit Mr. Lincoln to be
President of the United States. Can't you
help yourself Governor, as you did when
you were in arms length of the public mo-
