En-. REPUBLICAN MY attention has been
called to An article in the Journal OF Esd inst,
in which exceptions are taken to the spirit Of
late discourse by of the city clergy. The
language claimed to be Objectionable, was ~ fol.
lows: "That Patriotism which cries our coun.
try right or wrong is spurious. The motto Of
the true patriot should be-our country right
il wrong, then right it,"
Ii is against this sentiment that the Journal
hurls its deuunciations and SAYS. " these pulpit
occupiers have done more than any other class
Of people to rush the nation into its present
alarming condition-they had better leave its Il
fairs TO politicians and statesmen"
Now, Imagine that il the responsibility Of
Of right it belongs. land where the historian Of
these times will most assuredly place IT, the ed

Their gospel is that Of peace-not the sebellou

Look for such "pulpit occupiers" in the south

and Gov. Floyd and Co. mske up the vestry.
The recommendation Of the Journal, that

an enlightened community as safe. They have
caused the trouble. AWAY with the cause-let

IT BEGINS TO HURr.-Old Virginia begins to

employed for the enforcement of this infamous
tyranny: 1t is useless to investigate the legality
or constituticnality of such proceeding. The
law and Constitution are wholly dsregarded by
the vulgar ruffians at Washington. 1t is enough
that We see in it the fendsh spirit which is to
animate this atrocious war. 1t ia enough to i'm
pei every Virginisn to take the Hannibalian oath
