TIE PRESIDENT TrREATENEp

We car but raise the note OF w~arning-aye,
f admonition slso-to the President himself.
We would inform him that the government Of
uese United States is ours-the people's-and
.oi his. We have an individual interest in ii as
vel as he. And we win not see our liberties
aud our existence bartcred away by a man who
ives the position lie occupies to our suffrage,
60 the damnable institution Of slavery, without a
struggle Il he Will not regard the rights and
Eil OF his c0~nstituents-the rights and will of
Northern "a well as Of Southern sovereign
States-we shall not be long in awaiting om-
ives Of all constitutional means to PUT ONE
IN HIS PLACE WHO WILL DO IT."
The editor of the AOnkeTn Independent hopes
that the President may soon find himself crowd
I'd TO a point where he has no choice and can DO
nothing but acquiesce in the necessities Of the
case, and assures us that when the call for
emancipation thus presses upon him, he will
Issue his proclamation as readily rs be did 10 re
inforce Sumter" Upon that we suppose the
reverend gentleman's assurances are worth Just
as mich, and no more, as any other persons,
who don't know anything about it. They show
however, the tauaticism of these reverends, and
that they look more to the freedom Of the slaves
than 70 the restoration of the Union as it was.

vALU1NG THE UNION.
From an article by Pref Hodge, sent ous In ad-
rance Of tht Princeton R5vi1e for JANUARY.

Until within fow years there was no diver
sity Of opinion on this subject. It Wis admit
ted that the value of the Union Of these States
did not admit Of calculation. As no man al-
lowed himself to count the worth Of the family
union, to estimate In dollars and cents the
value Of bis father's blessing or his mothers
lore, SO no one drcamt Of estimating the value
mented BY common lineage, q common Ian
guage, common religion, and 4 common bis
tory. We were born In the same family,
rocked In the same cradle, struggled through
the same difficulties. We were united In the
council-chamber and on the battlefield. The
blood Of Northern md Southern patriots
flowed in q common strea1n, and their ashes
lie mingled In the same grave.
These arc not scntimentalities Which men OF
sense can afford to dcsplse. They are bonds
Of union which 1t argues moral degradation to
disregard. Moreover, there Is no denomina-
ton Of Christians whose members are not
found in every part of our common country.
Almost every fnmiy at tho South hns kindred
Irving at the North, and the families at tho
North haye kindred at the South. The Unlon
Of these States Is real union. 1t is not = mere
association, such rs binds together nations Of
different races, languages, aud political insti'
tutlons, rs In the Austrian empire Our out
FaEd union Is the expression OF inward unity
To this VIC owe our dignity and power among
dfssoclated communities OF Italy, We had been
Insignificant It is because We are one, that
nc are great, prosperous and powerful All
| this, until recently, was the common scnn
ment Of the country; andthc man who shonld
advocate dissolution Of the Union would
hare been associated, In tie estimation Of bis
countEymcu, with Benedict Arnold. And such
| posterity to the authors Of disunion, should
TINT calamity bef:li u.s.

Tho sInvo Population of virginia.

In speculating upon the course Likely to be
pursued by Virginia in the present crisis, ne
mny obtain good deal Of light by considering
the distribution of her slave population, and
its relative proportion to the population cast
and west Of the Blue Ridge From the Com
pendulum Of the Census for 1850 it appears that
the white inhabitants Of Western Virginia
constitute nearly forty-eight per cent OF tho
whole white population Of the State; while
the proportion of slaves to whole population
in that part Of the State is less than eleven
per cent. On the other hand the ratio of
SLAVES to the whole population cast Of the Blue
Ridge Is nearly forty.eight per cent.
It thus appears that in the western portion
Of Virginia, Inhabited by nearly one-half Of
the whole. white population Of the State, the
rutio Of slaves is less than that Of Maryland,
which Is fifteen and one.half per cent, while
In Eastern Virginia ia greater than in any OF
thu slayc States except Mississippi and South
Carolina, being but three per cent. less than
that Of the former, md nine per cent. less than
that Of the latter State
1t is not probable that the census which has
just been completed will materially vary these
results. They certainly Indicate that in the
approaching Convention in Virginia there must
be divided counse1s. In many Of the counties
Of Western Virginia slaycry may be said to
have but nominal existence, and in nearly oil
Of them it constitutes but 4 small proportion
Of the whole population.
In view of these facts it is not to be suppo.
sed that the 6ecessIonists of the Atlantic shore
will suce ced in committing their brethren
across the mountains to course Of political
action which cannot fill to involve them in
ruin.-N. ]. Eiening Iha.
