THE TIES OF BLOOD.

Noappeal to the Virginians to secede from the
Union and join the Confederates," is so com.
mon as that founded upon the g ties Of blood"
but it is doubtful if those who make the appeal
ever seriously considered in which direction
those ties are the strongest.
1t is in the non seeded States, including
Kentucky, the daughter of Virginia, that more
than nine.tenths of the Virginia stock, outside
of the limits ofthat State, are now to be found.
Or if the view be confined to the free States
alone, the Virginans and descendants Of Vir-
ginians resident in them, vastly exceed the
same classes in the Confederates." If the
sites of blood" are to determine the course of
Virginia, she will go with the region on the
north of the Ohio, and not the region on the
Gulf.
By the census Of 1850, the number of Vir.
ginians born, resident in the seeded section,
was as follows.
The national Republican., 1861-04-18
when Gov. Maeoffn said, IN. mouth and |

"When Gov. Magoffn said, 'the mouth and
the sources Of tie Mssissippi cannot be sepa
raed Wihout Tie horrars Of civH ,oor,' he did
but utter what has heretofore been the undi.
vided opinion of intelligent kentuckians. u,
then, we are necessarily bound to have civh
war on the right to navigate the Mississippi
it we are driven to mere choice between war
with the seven hundred thousand people Of
Louisiana and Mississippi, or with the seven
millions Of people north Of us, Kentucky, Ten.
nessee, and Missouri, cannot hesitate in their
selection. Every dictate OF prudence and jus.
tice will prompt US to side with the party bat.
ting against unjust usurpation, and who, whilst
defending their own rights, will be contending
also for our own. Missouri and Kentucky will
have every motive for desiring that the site Of
the civil war shall be removed as far as posi-.
BILE from their own borders.
"But there need be and will be no civil war,
if Kentucky, Tennessee, aud Missouri, continue
to manifest their firm adhesion to the Union,
and show unanimity in their determination not
to submit to this insolent usurpation over their
rights in the river. Whatever they shall say in
denunciation Of that usurpation, the people Of
Louisiana will at once recognise as the voice Of
the whole ten millions of whites inhabiting the
upper parts Of the great valley. They will also
them to attempt to maintain their usurpation by
force; that their only course is to reract and
abandon all effort to control the river. This
done, they will next inquire what secession is
worth to them, how they can get along as sep.
arate Government, without the power to control
the navigation Of the river and to tax its trade.
These inquiries, aided by loss of trade, heavy
taxation, and want Of settled peace, will soon
satisfy them Of the folly Of secession, and lead
them to seek restoration. When Louisiana re
turns, the so.called Confederacy must necessa.
rily fall to pieces. Without her, there can be
no permanent Southern Confederacy. Mssis
sippi and Alabama would soon leave the rick.
ETY. concern. This view presents the most
probable, if not the only solution Of our national
difficulties. 1t is the only rational scheme Of
restoration, because it disregards the will Of the
political leaders in the seeding States, and
can be accomplished in despite Of all that they
can do"
The national Republican., 1861-04-18

m es and oprressors, or our friends and kin.
dr. d. The Northern President leaves us no
alt ,rnetive; it is liberty or determination,
glory or the gravel"
This is throwing aside all considerations OF
prudence aud interest, and fighting upon the
principles Of desperation. There is no other
ground upon which secession can be put in
in Virginia. GLORY or the grare,' is the true
motto for such an act Of suicidal madness. But
the necessity Of such an alternative is not ap.
parent to bystanders. Virginia may live in
peace and quiet, IL she has the good sense to
prefer that to the "horors Of par." If she
becomes party to the conflict between the
Government and treason on the Gulf, it is her
own voluntary act.
