Mr.. EpIroa-western Virginia win yncv-
er secede from the Federal Union. She is
loyal to it, because she loves it. While
the Northern fanatic calls the Constitution
''a league with death and covenant with
hell," the Southern fanatic calls this an.
Hnccursed UntOn,"a 'rotten Yankee gov
ernment," &c. These, however, are cx-
trcmc opinions, in which we of tliis lati-
Htude do not by any means concur. Nor
lthern sectionalism has elected president,
and Southern sectionulism has seized upon
that rs a prctext to dissolve the Union,
and swears that Virginia shall be dragged
into common destiny with the Cotton
Stntes, whether they want 10 or not. For
one, L tell these traitorous disunionists,
whether they live in South Carolina or in
Virginia, in Taylor county or in Harrison
county, that they cHnupt drag me into a
Southern Gonlederacy. I tSas born under
the Stars and StfiptS and UIdsr.tHem in

and rdther than Teh0nnce my allegiance to
that ensign, I shall trelcome il as my srinding

Union has been q blessing to us. but that
any State may leave it ut her will, and
thereby involve all the rest in civil war;
that AFTER she has Ieft the Union, She may
carry away the public property, and refuse
to pay the federal revenue. These men
(if they are men and not demons) rejoiced

ViEginiG! There is un organized plan on
foot to take Virginia out of the Union;
and it is through the truckliug dema-
goguefy of defeated parttzIns that it is to
be done. They have been defeated -
That is the whole secret of this devilish
movement. They cannot stand defeat.
Their motto for years hns been aRnlc or
Ruin" They have failed to rule, and they
are determiDed to ruin. Let tho people
look Mt this thing. II is too transparent
to deceive. Every personal liberty bill of
which they now complain, was on the
statute books when Mr.. Buchanan was in-
augurnted, but you heard not a word of
disa1ectiOn from these gentlemen then.
Why2 Because Mr. Buchanan was a
Democrat, and SO long as Democrats were
