lFor the lnteihEeDer.l
To the Editor OF the Union and to


We will not presume to answer at length
the very logical and statesman-like article
in the Union Of yesterday, relative TO the
9th Ward meeting on Saturday evening"
To ''Niudex" NC say that the resolutions
referred to do not propose tue accession of
tue West from the East, but demand a con-
tinuancc of Western Virginia in the Cn-
ion We mean that the secession of East
ern Virginia from the United States shall
not be a sufficient reason for the pat lotto
people Of the West to assist in reasonable
schemes, originating with traitors, carried
on by traitors, aud, il successful, will be
the success of traitors. Again, there is
made IN the resolutions manifest differ
ence between treason to the Republic
aud Constitutional division of the State
The Constitution OF the United States
does not recognize the right OF secession
on the part of n State. but there is such a
right ms the Con,tit ,tonNl division of
State.
To the editor Of the Union we would
briefly say, that the privilege of remaining
member OF the Federal Union is Of more
value than the fright" Of secession or the
fright" Of overthrowing the hest system of
government ever kunwn;a fright" claimed
and advocated by the CRioH. Can there
be higher, hoIirr fright" than constant
devotion to the Union aud submission to
to the Constitution? Is devotion to the
fright" of secession more acceptnbIe?-
The assertion that the meeting was n
BLACK Republican" one, is scarce worth u
refutatiOn. The meeting originated, not
with "Black Republicans" but WAS upon
the suggestion of men who supported and
voted for John Bell and Stephen A. Doug
las. Can our conservative fellOw-citiZens
forget the malicious ISLANDERS INDUCED in
by the Onion, when John Bell was a cam
didate for the Presidency, how he was
branded as an abolitionist, how Le was
stigInatiZed by the Breckenridge press as
unfit to receive the suffrnges of Southern
citizens. The Committee representing the
9th Ward meeting consisted of FIVE Bell
aud Douglas men and two supporters of
Lincoln, The Chairman was Bell man,
the Secretary was Bell man, and large
majority of the audience were Bell and
Douglas men. IfRepublicans appeared at
tho meeting our local law would not up
hold their expulsion. If they choose nole
to accept the platform of ''the Union, the
Constitution. and the enforcement of the
Laws" certainly this return to reason and
patriotism is rather to be commended than
condemned.
Permit me to assure the Union that the
feeling of devotion to the Constitution of
our country is the prevailing sentiment in
Ohio county, aud disunionists will feel tho
force of this assertion. when this secession
movement shall be most disastrously de.
fcated, rs it must he. There is a growing
discrimination on the part OF the people to
send none but pure unadulterated Union
men to our State Convention.

Meeting AZ Mound.rIlIc,

We learn from Marshall county, yester-
day, that very exciting political meeting
was held at the Court House in Mounds
vile, Monday afternoon, nt 2 o'clock. The
meeting was called TO hear the views of
thoB who had become, or wished to be-
'om candidates for the Convention
speeches were made by Messrs. Gallagher,
Holiday, JEDI. Martin and James Burlcy.
All but Mr.. BurlOy took qualified grounds
forshe UniOu-he took unqualified grounds,
aud declared himself Union man, FIRST,
lastandall the time,aud without reservation
Our informant states that he (Burley) will
be the candidate upon whom the Union
men will rally, and he has no doubt Of his
election. Tho reports from precincts out
side of AOundaville, lead his friends SO to
believe. Quite scene, We are told, oc-
CURED during tho remarks of Sir. Jefi.
Martin. He is reported as making very
ultra secession speech, threatening, among
other things, to trample the national flag
under his foet-saying also that the Union
WAS rotten, and he didn't want such
Union. Some one iu the meeting called
him John Brown traitor, whereupou
ono OF Mr.. Martins sons rose aud said
"Ihat was lie, and he was able to back
it," The scene was said to be very exoit-
ing, and our informant thought ut one time
that trouble was imminent.

TaE Richmond Wing comments upon
the financial position of South Carolina,
and says that the one hundred and Fifty
thousand dollars drawn from the State
Bank have been paid to the troops in and
about Charleston. 1t says the items voted
to be raised, and necessary for service
which has not dollar in hand, amounts to
ono million eight hundred and 6fty-,wo
thousand dollars. In debate in the
Legislature on January 9th, it was fire.
qusntly stated that the bonds of the State
could not DO sold for tt.y cents ON the dol.
lar, aud that 1t was useless to think Of
raising money by the issue of bonds. 1t
was also deemed impracticablO to resort to
immediate taxation, since the pressure
would be far TOO great on the planters to
be submitted to.
The W1ia quietly eloses with the follow.
log narration:
THE prospects Of South Carolina, there
fore, in the highly probable event Of war,
are by no means promising. At least the
people Of that State. as OF all other States,
should pause aud reflect before preciPitat-
ing themselves into the manifold horrors
