Political Intellipanoe.


We find in the Lynchburg Wal Wing,
of recent date, an able communication
under the signature of "A Citizen of
Lynchburg," which We understand to be
from the pen of an estimable gentleman
largely interested in slave property, and
who. as such, to say nothing of his other
qualities to public respect, is entitled to
speak with authority upon "the Crisis, /"
which purports to have for its object to
maintain the welfare and honor of the
slaveholding class in the South. The
writer earnestly deprecates the secession
movement, and particularly urges upon
Virginia the duty of standing by the Un-
ion in the present hour. TO this effect
he writes as follows:
Virginia has nobler work before her
than firing Tie Southern heart and precipitat-
ing rcrotution,' as a subordinate hotspur,
and with suicidal and parricidal arm
Fastening with mad insanity the achieve
ment of her own and her country's ruin.
Her ruin will already have been consum-
mated the moment she forgets her proud
position amongst her sister States-hold-
ing all as her equals, herself the UNEQUAL
OF none. Virginia looks with hopeful
eye towards all the other States of this
Union except South Carolina. If she can
help to save the Union she must help to
save it as an equal in common ConfeCl-
eracy. She will be ever ready to listen to
the counsels of her friends; but can be
agooned-never."
The Valley Democrat thus marks out
the course of Virginia according to its
conceptions Of propriety and duty in the
present crisis:
what shall Virginia do? We cannot
go with the North, nor will self.respect
permit us to go with those Cotton States
who have shown so little regard for the
feelings and interests of the Border States.
Let the Border States then confer togeth-
er. Let them demand of the North their
rights IN the Union. and if refused, then
a middle Confederacy should at once be
formed. The Cotton States refuse gem
eral conference Of the Southern States
South Carolina refuses to wait, and the
Georgia Legislature has rejected the pro-
positions; so that Virginia has either to
act in this crisis on her own responsibility
or be 'draggef by the Cotton States. Her
pride and self-respect revolt at the idea
of being kicked and dragged, and we feel
satisfied that she will consult and form
an alliance with those who are bound to
her by the ties of Interest and self-preser-
vation."
AS a recent writer has most Justly re-
marked, eff we are TO believe in the new
philosophy of the present day, the Gov
eminent under which we so long reposed
in vain security is a mere house of painted
cards, beautiful TO the eye, but destined
to crumble at the slightest touch, or even
at the slightest breath. With the right
of secession claimed for each one of the
thirty three States, to be exercised at their
caprice. the Government which went into
operation in 1889, and which two genera
tons of men have lauded as the perlec-
ton of wisdom, has been the most STU
pendous sham which was ever imposed
upon the credulty of mankind"

Virginia for The Union,

A very large Union meeting, composed
of members of all parties, and represent
ing "the farmers, mechanics, and work.
ing men" of Rockbridge county, Virginia,
was held at Lexington, the county seat,
on the 10Th instant. The following re-
solutions, among others, were adopted
the pressure upon our columns not adj
hitting of their publication entire, as re-
quested by vote of the meeting:
Resolved, That we hereby express our
unwillingness to be dragged into secession,
and its attendant consequences, until the
people have had ample time to weigh the
matter for themselves; and we will not be
driven from our affection for the Union
by Northern abolitionis or Southern fire.
eating demagogues.
Rssolucd, That we do not consider nullifi-
cation or secession as q remedy for any
grievance, but hold them as revolutionary
rights, only to be exercised in the last
resort.
Resoiced, That the establishment of a
Southern Confederacy will be no protec-
ton to the peculiar institution of the
South, but will place it upon the same
international footing with the Northern
Confcderacy as it now stands with the
British colonies; that it will be effectually
circumseribed and confined to its present
limits, than which more fatal restriction
could not be devised, for in that event
we may in vain hope to extend its area
by the acquisition of additional territory;
not one foot of territory can ever be ac-
CURED without bloody strife with the
Northern Confederacy.
ResolUed, That we, working men, farm
ers, and mechanics Of the county of Rock
bridge, asserting our mistaken attach
ment, DEVOTION and fidelity to our native
State and all her institutions, openly de-
clare immediate and uncompromising
hostility to any and all efforts to sever the
Confederacy, until we have failed to obtain
from the North our rights under the Con-
stitution within the Union. and which we
believe cannot be secured by going out
of it.
Resolced, That we believe that, in the
present crisis, the preservation of our
glorious Union depends, under God, more
upon the wisdom and coservatism and
geographical position of Virginia and the
other Border States than on all else be-
sides; and that, if we and they stand firm,
we shall present an insurperable barrier
against the wild ianaticism of the North
and the madness and precipitate folly of
the South, and thus hold them in check
until reason and justice returns to the
one and wisdom and moderation to the
other.
