Let us Hear from the People.


The voice CT the people of Virginia Gns We: to be
heard upon the faiinre Of the Peace Congress and
upon the Inaugural Of Mr. Lincoln. The result Of
The election for this Convention earnest and
honest expression OF Virgnia's love and attach
nent to the Union. Tho much hoasted $50 o0o''
majority was the emphatic declaration Of the people
for just and final settlement. The determination
O; the people to accept nothing but what was just
nod final, was a decided rs tho majority for the
Union overwhelming. The honest sentiment OF
Virginia has been misintcrpretcd by tho North, and
accepted oy Ai!. Lncon cowarilico. The love and
attachment Of Virginia tor constitutional Union
has been received as manifestation Of willingness
20 abide BY tho Cn:om upon all or amy teruis Even
in the Convention ainons the delegates this majority
is regarded us submissive willingness to uny terms.
The cold, deliberate purpose Of civil war indi-
Gated in the inaugural. At first staggered the ma
;ority. and for willie revived the hopes of tho Hir
ginin party. But apologize spirit evinced
itself: "nobody is hurt by the inausural-"nobody
i. scared" by tic voice from Washington-was 10 be
heard within twelve hours after the inaugural was
received in Richmond. Tuesday morning there were
delegates "to9L' they were Sunday, and who

fancy, 'hustc." 'hurry,'' arc words which ut any
precedent will drive this Convention from its propri

Thus the Convention 'drags It's slow length along"

solutions which were referred to the Commit

the purpose Of forming more perfect Union
than existed under the articles Of Confedera.
ton, and adopted by all Of the original States,
with ample provisions for amendments to the
same but without any for its disintcgration--
Therefore, Resolved, That resort to State
secession. or n resumption Of the original
rights of the States, by an ordinance Of secrs.
sion. is not only unauthorized By the letter Of
the Constitution, but is contrary to, and subver.
sive of the fundamental principles npon which
il was formed wholly at variance with the e-
gitunate objects Of its creation, aud Gun only
he justified as revolutionary means OF obtain:
ing redress, when every peaceable, honorable
and constitutional expedient has been exhaust
cd and failed.
