But few days ago, the people OF Virginia ex.
pressed their opinion on the present crisis. by a
vote which was decided against rash or 'sprecip-
itate" secession, and in favor of 'srestoring the
Union, if possible, with the just rights Of the
South secured.'' We should think that those
who really pay Difference and respect to the
ssvoice of the State,'' would now be content to
receive the verdict rendered, and wait for the &C.
tion of the Convention. But we fed the sslm-
mediate Secessionlsts,'' in several quarters, per-
sistent, through their writings, and speeches,
and in other ways, in still urging immediate
secession as the panacea for all the evils we
sutherland we observe that the Convention is,
in these same quarters, evidently not regarded
with any favor. Its complexion is not con-
sidered ssvery fattering to Southern pride p
In other words, it is likely that wisdom, judg-
ment, common sense, and patriotism will prevail
in the Convention and so believing and think
ing, we will have trust and confidence in it, and
hope for the best results from its deliberations.

REooNsTRUcTIoN.-We would regard this idea
OF breaking up the Union for the purpose OF re-
constructing it, as one of the silest ever enter
tanned, if we did not believe there Is villany st
the bottom of it. 1t is too serious subject for
ridicule, for we honestly believes that those who
originated, if not all those who advocate the
doctrine, have at heart desire for permanent
dissolution. The same spirit that led TO the dis
ruption Of the Democratic party at Charleston
and Baltimore, is at the bottom of this idea OF
reconstruction. The programme had been laid
down by that arch fend of disunioD, VIM. l..

necessary to disrupt the democratic party.

sprung too often from one to another, care we
