The overthrow Of the disunionists in Virginia
recalls once more the true patare Of The South.
en rebellion. Virginia has more slaves than any
other State. Her burdens are more exposed than
any other slave State, Missouri exeeptsd. Her
iossss from Illicit emigration, are such - might
be estimated, from the bcontiguisy Of free terri
tory and the number of her slaves. Yet in the
very tempsst and ~hirlwind Of the disunion agi-
tation, thst State votes 70 kesp her place niths
Federal system. Virginia decided that both her
honor and safety require her to adhere TO the
| Union, Of which Washington and Madison are
the chief authors.7 The Union was the crown
and consummation Of the Revolution, and con,,
I'sequenty It would be unnatural in Virginia,
which played such an iilustrious part In the Re.
veasion, TO turn against the Union. Kentucky,
edsst born Of Virginia, and three other bor-
dss elases, have not even deemed it necessary 70
call convention. The Governors or Legisla-
turss of these States do no, consider it proper
to take any steps which might be held to indi-
cate that cause Of alarm or spprehension exists
There can be little doubt that HiSsourf will de-
clare for the Union In the most emphatic man !
ner. Thus all the Slave States, which have any
cause Of complaint, real or imaginary, against
the Free States, are opposed to the twin pro-
Jects. Of dissolution Of the Union, and the for
nation Of Southern Confederacy., The st, tes
shat have embarked in these perilous and fa tas.
tic enterprises, have neither wrongs TO redress
nor guarantees TO demand. The Disunion move
ment il mot sudden sponta neeus one, provoked
by some recent event or succession Of events II
is the result Of a conspiracy of thirty years
standing. This its living leaders acknowledge.
Rhett and other members Of the South Carolina
Convention 20 declared in the midst of that as
sembly. Historic facts corroborate the declara
sion. Nearly thirty years ago South Carolina
passed secession ordinance, because she dis
liked an acl Of Congress for the regulation Of
