Our Country.

= -
How often has 1t been remarked, that
the civil institutions Of man have, in ell
ages, trodden, with greater or less rapiditf,
the same invariable circle ffsm anarchy 10
despotism, and from despotisn again to an
archy. The forms Of government whicE
have endured the longest, have been those
which have vibrated, from time to time;
between these opposite extremes. l had
thought our country an exception TO these
remarks, until now. In the formation CT
our constitution. suppose that the law Of
reciprocity has been more thoushtfully con-
sidered than in the formation Of any ether
that history has recorded. The principle
of the universal equality OF human rights,
has here been pretty fully recognizsd.-
Bnt does any one believe that our constiiu.
tion will endure, if it rely for support on
nothing but the natural love Of justice in
the human bosom? Thus far, ewing To
the religious principles in which ws havs
been educated, ii has stood. II is the re-
suit of the teaching Of revelation, accom-
panied BY power from on high. Abstract
from US The influences diffused abroad by
the religion Of Christ, abolish the instruc:
ions of the sanctuary, abandon US all 10 the
natural workings of the human heart, and
let any one ask himself hew long such j
government as ours could possibly exist
Has not every one but the disciple of Christ;
given up in despair in the present crisis?
As nation we have deliberately refused
to submit to the law of God, and God seems
to be leaving US to state in which there
is no law. 3, Before it is loo laie, let ms id
all our transactions with our fellow men,
recognise the existence Of both these com.
mandmen.s: "Thou shalt love The Lord thy
God with all thy heart" and, Thou shalt
love thy neishbor as thyself."

Virginia.

The Virginia Legislature has passed The
Convention bill. 1t requires a vote 10 be
taken OF the time Of the election, 10 deter.
mine whether the action of the Cow entior
shall be submitted to the people or not
The election is to take place on the 4th oI
February, and the Convention 10 meet on
the 18th, proximO.
The Richmond Wing, speaking Of thi,
action says:
"Ths House Of Delegates was in a much
better mood yesterday than previously. Il
adopted en- amendment TO the Convention
bill, by sixteen majority, providing that the
sense Of the people be taken at the coming
election, whether or not the action Of the
Convention shall be submitted 10 the peo-
pie. The House, having thus recognized
the propriety, by o decisive vote, of sub
mitting the action of IT. Convention to the
people, we consider that question settled
OF course Convention bill will be speed .
ly passed, as it ought TO be, and then the
whole matter-eleoiion Of delegates and all
referred 10 the people. Let the Legi,-
lature pass the bill forthwith, and proceed
10 other business"
The Enquirer comments on the proceed.
iDgs as follows:
"Ths duty we owe 10 the people Of this
Commonwealth demands that we should in
form them that all that they hold most sa.
cred and dear, both as 10 the Federal Con-
stitution and the rights and honor of the
State, Is in imminent peril from the timidi-
ty Of the House of Delegates. After four
days Of delay, spesehityias, and amend
ments, the House Of Delegates have enas-
culaisd the Convention bill, BY the adop-
lion of an amendment offered by Mr.. Keen,
Of Ph.sylvania.'
In Gov. Lsteher's Message to the Leg
islature Of Virginia, he renews his PROPOSE
for Convention of all the States. Disso-
Iulion is inevitable be says and if Two con-
fsderacies are to Be formed, they must have
the best of guarantees before they would
be willing TO unite to either. He thinks
the action Of South Carolina rather hasiy.
He suggests that two Of the most discreet
statesman be commissioned to visit the Leg
islaturss Of the States which have passed
Personal Liberty Bills, and insist on their
unconditional repeal. He is decidedly op-
posed to coercion, and should the Federal
troops attempt to cross that State for the
purpose Of coercing Southern State, hs
would regard IT as an act of invasion, which
he would rspel.

From the Citizen.
Who are Free-Soilers?

No scheme has ever been devised SO "a
tai 10 the interest Of the slaveholder, as
that of converting the border free States
into foreign country, which will be the
effect OF Withdrawing this State from the
Union.
The sbGlitionists now complain that they
have 10 run our negroes 10 Canada to make
them safe from pursuit. They curse our
Constitution and our Government; because
they enable stakeholder to pursue his
slaves, and protects all citizens in aiding
him to gel his negro in free State. They
complain that they cannot aid the runaway
but BY violating the law, and bringing up
on themselves its penalties. To relieve
them of this, class Of politicians step in
and say, We will save you this trouble, we
will make the border free States secure
asylum for the fugitive, your underground
railroad may terminate at the Illinois, Iowa,
or Kansas line, and the men who propose
this, the most effectual measure ever devised
for aiding abolitionists in destroying the
value Of our slave property, claim TO be
peculiar friends Of our institution Of slavery
The people of the North have prejudi-
ces against slavery, but we have key to
open their hearts, that Of interest. A lib.
eral reward will enlist their services on our
side, and we generally recover our negroes
through its influence, because In aiding us
they violate no law. Blu, destroy the Fed

who now can be induced to aid US, the pen
allies Of the law if they do so, impose upon
the owner heavy penalties for pursuing
his slave into free State, and we deprive
ourselves Of all possibility Of recovering
cur property. Our slaves will never be
recsptured if they get out of the State.-
The success of one will start others, and
the end will be that we shall have none
but the inhrm left with US. The fugitive

A Familiar Chat win Lincoln.

The reports of Mr. Lncoln's inclnations,
as given out in conversation, are colored,
writes a Washington correspondent 10y the
personal feelings of the narrators.-
One Of these reports makes him say no plan
of compromise yet suggested satisfied him.
Gov. Sprague and Judge Ames-the latter
Peace Commissioner of Rhode Island
asked social interview, which was gran
ted, They are said to have urged Mr.. Lin
coins assent to the Guthrie proposition.
Mr.. Lincon objected, on the ground that it
recognized slavery in the territories. Judge
Ames then reminded the President elect
that tho proposition, as amended by Revcr-
dy johnson, only applied to "prcsent" ter
ritory. Lincoln insisted that it would, by
fair inference, apply to future acquisition,
and asked Ames ii he could get tho South
ern men in the conference to adopt an
amendment that this recognition of slavery
shall not apply to future acquisitions of ter
rilory.
To this Judge Amcs is reported to have
answered. 'Probably not" Lincoln was
then reminded that Rhode Island voted fol
him chiefly as an old line whig. This, he
remarked loosely was the worst reason
that he had heard assigned for his election
Rhode Island, observed one of the gentle
men, is a little behind other Eastern States
on the slavery question. Lincoln replied
to this assertion Of Rhode Islands poliica
backwardnoss by an anecdote of q Sunda,
School in Connecticut, whore boy in an
swer to question respecting the attribute
of the Deity, answered that they had thre
Gods in Connecticut, but in Rhode Island
where he came from, they had no God a
all. AS the Commissioners retired, Nj
Lincoln said perhaps he had been too unre
served, and they might consider the re
marks as unsaid ave wish we could, wa
their response, as they left the room. Thi
story is part of the current anecdotes c
"Old Abe" and has produced quite a ser
sation here. cannot vouch for the detail
of this report, but believe it to be in tn
main correct.
