CoERcIoN.-The people of Virginia had
the effrontery to elect to their State Con-
vention, which is now in session, large ma
iority of Union delegates. This is highly Of
fensive to the disunionists of Richmond, who
desire to take the management of the affairs
of the State into their own hands, and hence,
whenever one of the delegates has the impu-
dence to make a union speech, they hiss
him, and, in one instance, went so far as to
hold a public meeting to ventillate their
vOcabularies of denunciaiion. Last week,
the Hon. JOHN S. CARLILE, made an able plea
for the Union, and as we learn from the Whig
OF the 7tb, the Richmond diSuninn rowdies
tried to insult and intimidate him also. The
Whig says
The Hon John s. Carlile, one of the dele
gates from Harrison county, occupied the
floor of the Convention yesterday, and de-
liyered in the presence of large audience a
strong Union speech-an outline of which is
published in the regular report of the Con-
yention proceedings. When the Convention
adjourned some thirty or forty persons as
sembled in front of the hall, upon the side
walk. and as Mr.. Carlile emerged from the
building, escorling highly respectable
young lady of this city, a number OF persons
in the crowd testified their disapprobation of
his speech and their own disregard for one of
the greatest blessings transmitted to Us by
the Revolutionary sires mot to characterize
their conduct more harshly) by kissing and
hOoting at the gentleman who had dared to
express views which did not correspond with
their own. Mr.. G. took no notice of the in
dignity, but a young man in the crowd, who
evidently sympathized with him, waved his
cap enthusiastically and "hurrahed for Car
lille. "The anti-free-speech men turned upon
this individual, and row was only prevent
ed by the remonstrance of Two or three citi-
Zens.
The disunionists are furious in opposition
to coercion when they apprehend it will be
exerted against them; but they are swift to
use the meanest species of coercion when
they think it will promote their cause. 1t is
to be hoped that the Union men OF Virginia
will not permit themselves TO be dragooned
into the support of disunionisn; and that
they will take steps to resist such insults as
the Richmond disunionists put upon their
delegates. II the disunionists cannot be
taught better manners in no other ways. they
should be made to feel the virtues of coercion
in its most effective form.

The InauguraI--Coercio Lin.
coins Construction.

The Editor of the Lynchburg Vgginian
having returned home from Washington,
writes leader in whidh he speaks of the
proper Interpretation of the Inaugural of Mr..
LINCOLN. He says
In the conflict of opinion upon the subject.
we will not obtrude our own views, but ac-
cept Mr.. Lincoln's Interpretation of his in
augural. He says it means peace, and that
he will do all in his power to avoid coils
ion. To several Southern members of Con-
gress, who waited on him at his house, on
Thursday evening last, to learn his opinions
definitely, he said that he did not intend CO
ercion, and that, though the Government
was greatly pressed in its finances, he would
rather suspend any effort for the present TO
collect the revenue, than provoke a collision.
tie cited the gentleman in question to the
following paragraph of the inaugural, es-
pecIally:
sTbe course here indicated will be follow
ed, unless current events and experience
shall show a modification or change TO be
proper, and in every case and exigeney my
best discretion will be exercised according
to circumstances actually existing and with
a view and hope OF peaceful solution of
the National troubles, and the restoration of
fraternal sympathy and affections"
One, at least, of the gentlemen in question,
has been somewhat more exacting in his de-
mands than majority of the Southern Union
men in Congress, and he expressed himself
quite satisfied with the assurances of the
President. We are not authorised to obtrude
the nsmes Of these gentlemen upon the pub
lie. though we would give their names pri-
vately, and would endorse them everywhere.

LEWIS T. WIGFaLL.-This is the name oil
one of the representatives of the State OF
Texas. in the IT, S. Senate. During bis brief
service in that body be has gained more noto-
r;ety than any other gentleman who ever
6oured there. He appears to be man of
not very well balanced mind. impulsive and
naturally indiscreet. His weakness in this
respect is said to be greatly aggravated by
the constant use Of intoxicating drink. He
is in the habit of speaking on all occasions
where the relations of the States are in ques-
tions, and takes the most radical and ultra po-
sition. His language is violent and frequent
ly coarse and insulting. These character
istics have rendered him very conspicuous,
but among the judicious altogether unenvi-
ably so. Texas has passed aud ratified an
ordnance of secession. and now has her rep
resentatives in the Southern Congress at
Montgomery. All her other representatives
in the q. Congress except WIGFALL have
left Washington, yet he makes bis daily APP
pearanee in the Senate, and alternately plays
the bully, the rOwdy and the BUTTON. A
the proceedings of that body by quesiioliag
Judge DOUGLAS, and ridiculing the Union
In the course of colloquial discussion which
ensued, participated in by several members,
time to abuse the Senate by his presence at,
ter the secession of his State. He replied
that he had no official information of the
action of the State of Texas; that bis name
was called on the roll of Senators, and he
answered to it; that he would continue to 1o
so as long as it suited his convenience, and
il be felt inclined to vote OH any PROPOSE
ton, he would do so, considering the Senate a
very respectable public meeting. Subsequent
ly, Mr.. FOSTER. Senator from Connecticut,
submitted the following:
WHEREAS the Hon. L. T. WrGFALL. n w a
Senator of the United States from the State
of Texas, has declared in debate that he is a
foreigner, that he owes no allegiance to this
Government, but that he belongs to aud owes
allegiance 10 another and foreign State and
Government: Therefore
Resolrad. That the said l.. T. WIGFALI. be
and he hereby is expelled from this body
This resolution. with a substitute offered
by Mr. CLINGNAN, has been referred to the
Judiciary Committee. We hope Mr.. WIGFALL
will be permitted to remain till the expira-
ton of the Extra Session, as an example of
evil Ia be execrated aud Stunned. He will
never return again, and will impress the
Senate by contrast with the elevation of its
own dignity aud selfrespect. His presence
is not so much disgrace to the Senate, as
to himself and his State. His evil communi-
cations cannot corrupt the good manners of
the Senate. Let him alone.

President Davis has vetoed the bill prohibit

there is no truth In the rumor Should it be

which laws are not only enacted in secret,

The Era of EalsehoOd.

There are so many false rumOrs, &C.. put
in circulation through the telegraph OF late
that it is next to impossible to know what
degree of reliance to place in any thing re-
ceiyed through that medium. 1t was stated
recently that Mr.. LINCOLN had selected the
National L7felligencer as his Of gan; and more
recently that he had appointed Mr.. SEATON,
of that paper, Post Master at Washington
The Lgfel6gencer of Saturday takes occasion
to snip in the bud" both of these sensation
items, neither of which il declares has any
foundation in fact.
We have already corrected tine falsehoods
put in circulation relative to Mr.. BELL
The telegraph, however, is not alone the
means of spreading falsehood TO the press and
the public. Maj. ANDERSON complains that
letters with his name appended TO them are
forged and sent to Northern newspapers, do
ing him injustice and keeping up I'll feeling
at Charleston. long letter was published
few days ago in the Eastern papers, pur-
porting to have been written by Lieut. SLEM-
NER, at Fort Pckens. This letter has drawn
upon the gallant Lieutenant much abuse and
ridicule in the seeded States A brother of
his, sends the following note to the Lqtelligea-
CIR respecting that letter
WASHINGTON, March 6, 1861.
Editors National IlfelligeaceT:
Please state that the letter published in
the New York Tribune OF the 4th instant,
purporting to have been written by Lieut..
Slemmer from Fort Pickens on the 20 b ult.,
was not received or published by me, and
that believe the letter to be a forgery Ma
ny of the statements are undoubtedly true;
bat there are points in the letter which are
unusual in Lieut.. Slemmer's family cores
pondence; and, besides, Lieut.. Sl,mmer's
brothers are not given to publishing private
letters. CHARLES SLENNER.
The abuses Of the telegraph are provoking
legislation to stop them. In the Virginia
Senate, bill is under consideration which
makes the sending of a ''false statement a
misdemeanor, and therefore inflcts fine of
not more than $500, nor less than $50, or by
imprisonment in the common Jail for not
more than three months, or less than tea
days, or by both, as the Court may direct. 1t
also provides that the telegraph company by
whose line such ''untrue statemen" may be
sent shall be liable to penalty of not less
than $50 nor more than $500; provided that,
if the company shall have kept a copy or re-
cord Of the statement, together with the
name of the person transmitting it, or eau
sing II to be transmitted, and shall furnish
and disclose the same to the satisfaction of
the Court, it shall be lawful for the Court to
remit such penalty. The informer is to get
the whole fine; and if be declines it, it is
then to go to the Literary fund.
