It's most singular phase in this armed

of far more weight of character and reepon-
siblity. We saw evidences OF this at the
late Union demonstration in this city, fort
night ago, when old party platforms were
broken down and an altar of Union, liberty,
and supremacy of the Constitution, erected
in its place-when the extremes OF both Sec
,ons were terribly rebuked and action had
to support our unity as a nation, with men
and means. We hear of the same taking

Of all this hurried preparation not the
sHrhtest political or sectional animoslty Is
apparent, and this fact alone is what has pro-
duced such sudden reaction from mob law

No better evidence Of the absence of sec
Gonalisn and to give the lie to the secession
journals in the extreme south, that the North
meditates holy crusade against slavery and
the rights Of the South, is wanted than this:
In Western Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware,
and portions of Texas, regiments are being
organized to assist the Government in up
holding the laws and to throttle treason.

of the secession leade.s (ex-N ice President
Breckiuridge) is in fear of his life in Ken
tucky, for the Union men say whether their
State secedes or not that they will make
Kentucky too hot to hold him and his conEed
crate, Gov Mngoflin; for they look upon
them both as arch traitors, not SO much to the
Union as TO their native State.
REPUBLICAN ORDERs.-The Republican
State Central Committee, have added the fol-
lowing to their call for State Convention
their party;
10 the Chairmen of the several Rep"Jlican
County Committees of the State:
We desire to impress upon the several
County Committees the importance of prompt
action in choosing suitable delegates to the
State Convention.
Our Government is menaced by a band of
caring traitors, and it behooves every true
patriot and lover of his country to uphold the
present Administration and maintain the in
tegrity Of the WHOLE UNION We call upon
all who are for the maintenance of our hith-
erto glorious Union, TO rally to the support of
their country's flag.
Send delegates whose fidelity is unques-
toned; whose views are natonal whose
hrmness is immoveable- of ripe expe
rience aud sound Judgment.
From the remoteness of our position our
blood may not mingle in the fratricidal strife
which is now convulsing the heart of our
Honiederacy; yet, by our sympathy, our
harmony and unity of action, let us prove to
!he world that we are worthy TO be ranked
IN 'he brotherhood of the true and loyal de-
