Well Put.

The secessionists complain that some o.
the slaves who escape TO the North are not
returned. Their remedy is to dissolve the
Union, SO that not solitary one shall be
returned. They complain that Northern
men hold out temptations to our slaves to
run away. Their remedy is to provide
that fifty or hundred run away where
one runs away now. They complain that
the North is opposed to increasing the
number of slave States. Their remedy is,
bv multiplying the facilities for the escape
If fugitive slaves everywhere upon the bor-
der, to change several Of the present slave
States to free States. They complain that
the Abolitionists contemplate striking a
blow at the slave institution. Their reine-
DIV is to strike blow at it themselves, more
fatal than all the blows the Abolltlonists
could strike at it in quarter OF a century.

Yirginia F.ection.

That our readers may know exactly how
the Virginia election is regarded among the
people most interested, we copy the follow
ing from the Richmond Eaquirer-the
democratic organ Of the State:
aThe secessionists, per sc, the uncom-
promising unconditional secessionists, will
number about thirty; the remaining dele
gates are men who viii promptly adopt a
secession ordinance wien satisfied that
proper guarantees cannot and will not be
given in the present Union. The condition
upon which the Convention will consent
for Virginia to remain in the Union, will be
the adoption of such guarantees as will Sc
cure her rights, and bring back the seced-
ed States. While Virginia cannot remain
in the Union without the seeding States,
she will, before seeding, exhaust every eff
fort to bring back the seeded States npon
proper guarantees of their rights"
The Richmond Whig-the so-cslled con-
sentative mouth piece Of the Virginia Wings
and Americans-tak substantially the
same view Of the case.

The Doctrine of Reconstruction.


The programme of the moderate seces-
sionists-"The men who are for the Union
with an !'''-and the pro-slavery men Of
the North, seems now to be fully elabora-
ted. 1t is understood at Washington, by
our political friends, and it is confessed by
the opposition, that, during the whole Of
this secession business, a perfect understand
ing has existed between the advocates of
oppression at each end of the Union, and
that a reconstruction of the Government in
such way that Republican or anti-slavery
effort will hereafter be fruitless unless it
goes to the length of revolution, is the real
object to be accomplished. TO this end,
propositions Of compromise will be adopted,
and these, while holding the Border States
in the Confederacy, will be rejected by the
States now out. Enforcement of the laws
in the extreme South will be prevented by
Virginia, Kentucky and their cooperating
sovereignties; and for year or more mat
tiers if possible will be suffered to remain
as they now are-the South in open re-
bellion against the Federal authority; the
Central States standing between them and
punishment, and the North, by reason of her
ardent desire to preserve the territorial in
tegrity ofthe Republic, powerless. About
the time that the commercial and monetary
effects of this partial disruption are at their
height, the pros Slavery men of the North
will appeal to the people in their State
elections; and then will come to concer-
ted effort to throw the Republicans out of
power, to amend the constitution of the
country, and, by conceding the nationality
of Slavery, its right to go every where, end
its equality if not superiority 10 Free
dom, put it out of the power of the Repub-
-licans or their successors even by constI-
tutionaI means, to circumscribe its limits,
to ward off its assaults upon free govern
ment, or to correct the unutterable barbar-
ism which follows in its train. This is un-
questionably the purpose Of the movements
of the last three months; and this scheme,
if not defeated by events which are beyond
control, the men ofthe North must be pre-
pared to meet. To this end the undisguis-
ed sympathy Of Northern traitors with their
confederates Of the South, is directed; for
this, that miserable Commissioners Con-
gress now in session at Washington was
invented in Virginia; for this, all these boz
gus Democratic Conventions are held, and
for this every movement Of the last sixty
days has been skillfuly engineered. 1t is
a vast and elaborate conspiracy against the
Contribution as it is, and in favor of those
despotlc principles, which, orce adopted by
the Federal Government, destroy the Union
just as certainly and quite as effectualy as
fit were dissolved by the presence Of for
eign armies of overwhelming strength.

The Republican Central Committee Of
this city consists Of five members from each
ward, elected by ballot by the various Re
publican associations; and is supposed to
represent more than any other organization
the views Of the Republican party Of New
York. AT its last meeting, on Wednesday
evening. a resolution was adopted thanking
Mr.. Van Wyck for his recent manly speech
in the House Of Representatives, and re-
questing the Republican members in Con-
gress an aonaaaaer, come schat may, to
further compromise ,UiA The stare power."
In adopting this resolution, we are salts
fed the Central Committee truly expresses
the feeling Of the Republican party Of this
city. Whether the petition which Mr..
Seward presented to the Senate was signed
by sixty three thousand or hundred and
sixty-three thousand, il does no. represent
the views Of feelings Of the Republican par
ty of New York. Oftne thirty thou
sand Republicans here, who voted for Mr.
Lincoln, we do not believe that three thou
s;lnd--peshaps rot three hundred-are in
favor Of Mr. Crittenden's propositions On
the contrary, the prevailing fear is that the
Republican representatives in Congress
may be induced to sacrifice the principles Of
the party in the vain hope Of recalling to
allegiance the traitors Of the South.

Death of Count Cavour.

The JlTa brought intelligence Of the
death of this renowned Sardiuian minis
ter. He died just three days after Doug
las, in the fifty-frst year of his age. We
take the following sketch from an ex'
change:
CAvoUR emilio DI, was born in Turin,
July IA, 1909, and was at the time of his
death fifty one years of age. His father
had title conferred upon him by the
father of the present King of Sardinia,
and left his son considerable fortune at
his death. Of Cavour's early life we
know but little. He first became known
as a puolic man in 1S47 as one of the
founders of and contributors to R,sorgi-
mento, journal of liberal policies He
entered tho Sandman Chamber of Depu-
ties in 1S49. Not long after this he be-
came member of the Ministry, taking
the Portfolio of Agriculture and Com
merce, to which that of Fiance was add
ed in 1851. In the following year he sue
ceeded the Marquis d. AzEGLIo as Presi-
nent of the Council, which office he held
until 1859. At the time of his death he
was Premier Of the Sandman Ministry.
He was an acute and sagacious statesman
scorning meanness and ohichanery.-He
possessed to a great degree, the confidence
of the Italian masses, who, as we have
seen, discarded Mazzini aud the Repub-
lilo for Cavour, Victor Emmanuel and a
liberal monarchy. Under his adminstra-
ton so ably sustained by wise and lib
sral Sovereign, Sardinia became an asy-
lum from political oppression and religi-
Gus fsnaticism. Sardinia is principally
indebted to him for parliamentary gov
ernment, religious freedom and liberty OF
, press. He found Sardinia a struggling
secondary power, he left it first class
kingdom, prosperous, in its own ancient
extent, and full of hope as the regensra-
tor of enfranchised, Italy. 1t will be Ca
YOURS proudest eulogx, that his victories
were for the Liberty of Italy.
