The correspondents of the Cincinnati pa
pers. telegrapbing from Washington the night
OF the 5th inst, agree in stating that the
Union cause has gained glorious victory in
Virginia, thus c1rroboratiDg the dispatch
frum the editor of the Tirginian, published in
the PATRIOT yesterday. The correspondent
of the Commercial stated that il was believed
that not more than thirty Seesssioniss, out of
one hundred and Jffty-tuoo delegates. had been
elected. He adds this news caused "univer-
sal rejoicings''. in Washington. It was this
news that caused Messrs. CRTTTENDEN and
DOUGLAS. in their dispatch to Maj Polk, to
say, " Take courage from Virginia - and
that caused Gov. CURTIN. of Pa. to order the
firing of salute.
Ii is important to understand what is
meant by the Union cause in Virginia. 1t
does not mean unconditional Unionism. The
candidates of the Union are in favor of de-
handing additional guarantees for the secu-
rity of the rights of the South in the Union,
the CRIrrENDEN Compromise being the basis
OF their demands. If guarantees are denied,
they are generally in favor of Withdrawing
Virginia from the Union.
OF course, then, they are not submission
ists," and herein we see the object of the
Richmond despatch published in the Union and
-4msriean yesterday, in the use of the term.
1t gave the secessionists here the advantage
OF claiming the Union resistance men. and a
victory, whilst in reality, immediate secession

Coercion.

The Cincinnati Commercial says there will
be no coercion, that the people of the North
edo not want to conquer a people," and
"they will not try it." We believe that the
Commercial is as fully authorized as any
other journal to speak for Mr.. Lincoln. But
do we understand alike the meaning of the
word coercion? When the Commercial says
there will be no coercion, does it mean to
say that there will be no blockading OF South
ern ports by the Lincoln Administration?
Does il mean to say that there will be no at
tempts to retdke by force Of arms the forts now
in possession of the seeded States? If such
is its meaning then we understand coercion
alike. But if Mr. Lincoln intends to shut up
Southern ports with ships of war; if be in
tends to attempt to retake Southern forts by
force. we understand him to favor coercion,
and civil war will be the result within sixty
DAYS after his nauguration.-Nashrilte Union
and American, Feb. Cd.
We are not at all authorized to speak for
Mr.. Lincoln. We have taken our position on
the questions of the revolution without con.
sultation with any politician, great or small,
and speak by onr own authority. We are,
however. satisfied that we represent thai
which will be, in less than three weeks, the
dominant public sentiment of the North We
use the term coercion" in the sense that the
Nashville -Uidion and american uses it. We are
opposed to any attempt at bloekading South
ern ports or TO retake, by force of arms, any
forts or other property of the Federal Gov
ernment in The seeding States, provided they
now preserve the peace, aud aid in procuring

There mus be q convention of all the States,
to secure the peaceable severance from the
Union of the disaffected States. When the
Convention assemblies the fact of revolution
may be recognized and the terms of separa-

to where the line of separation shall be run.

The responsibility is with them. Will the
Union and american in justice to us give its
readers the benefit Of this explanation of our
position, which they should receive as an in
dication of the sentiments of the people of
the North? Let the people of Tennessee act
free from the exasperatiRg influences of
threats of coercion from the North. We
shall extend TO them the right hand of fel-
lowship and good faith if they abide with us.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb 5.
Senator johnson, of Tennessee. made
very powerful speech to-day. 1t was no fall
ing off from The former one, but his ground
was strengthened by many new arguments
against secession. He made most effective
use of The withdrawal yesterday of the Louis
lana Senators. which he treated sarcastically.
saying be almost thought Mark Anthony b, d
come back to bid Senators "if they had tears
prepare to shed them now" What had the
Union done to louisiana 1t had fought her
battles, paid her millions on millions protec-
ton on sugar, built her forts. arsenals, dock
yards, custom houses, hospitals! These were
her wrongs. to redress which, she had seized
forts, arsenals and every thing else, and had
ended by pocketing the Federal Mint, con-
tanning half million treasure. And this il
the way the Government is expressing Louis
isiana-by letting her take everything with
impunityi johnson charged the secession
isis with treason, in unqualified terms-their
grievances and expressions were mere pre-
fences and nothing more. They were alarmed
lest something would b. done to satisfy The
public mind. aud so were hurrying Virginia
iutO secession. But he thanked God they
were checkmated therel He proved. by nu-
merous historical citations, that South Caro-
lima never favored government of the people.
She wanted to St cede from the cause OF the
colonies in the Rev oluIion, and return to The
rule of Great Britain. johnson diss cted Joe
Lane, OF Oregon. in merciless and unans 8er-
able argument, He (Johnson) had traversed
Tennessee in the last campaign. to prove
Lane and Breckenridge were not the embodi-
ment of disunion, but were patriotic and OPP
posed 10 secession. Now his reward wa to
see Lane leading for the secession of all the
States South, and abusing him (Johnsoa) for
standing by the Union. If Lane had stood
three short moons ago where be does now, he
could not have gotten q thousand votes in
Tennessee. johnson produced records to
prove that at the last session of Congress the
Senate voted down Browns resolution that
protection OF slavery in the territories was
necessary. Only i've gotes were for it. Only
last May all these secessionists, Hammond,
Chestnut, SlideIl, Benjamin. Clay, Clingman,
Hunter and Lane, declared under solemn
sanction of an oath, "protection to slavery
was not necessary" Now they break up the
Union because Congress will not protect sla-
very. What rights has the South lost since
last year Lane, of Oregon, swore on the
18th OF May last that slavery didn't need
profession. NoU he gets up here and tells Tie
counfyy the South must secsde because she can't oct
sohdt he ssrort she didai need.
The great Union victory In Virginia causes
almost universal rejoicing here. It is expect
ed TO settle the question. and keep all Border
States in. 1t b thought hat nog more than so

For the Patriot.


The Union and american Extra. says the
time has not yet come for Black Republican
ism in Tennessee, to throw off all disguise
and show its hdeous features in the broad
sunlight of day. The Union and american
has been fighting the Black Republican party
North, heretofore. but it has turned its bat
terry upon citizens of Tennessee, calling
them Black Republicans. 1 would like for
that sheet to point out one Black Republican
in the State of Tennessee, and whether they
are going to vote for secession or for the
Union, it cannot point out one. Tennessesns
spurn the assertion with contempt, do not
allow the editors of sheet that will conde-
scend to call citizens of the State of Tennes-
see Black Repu blicans to dictate to you; they
have been crying abolition, abolition. niger,
niger, until fear their heads are becoming
wool-gathered. Say to them, Tennesseans clear
own your skirts before you dare to cast slur
upon your proud State of Tennessee, accus
ing her of being tinctured with abOlitionism.
This same sheet has called some of the purest
and best men of the South abolitionists. They
ought to meet the frowns of heaven until
they mourn in sack cloth and ashes for ex-
pressing such sentiments. G.
