We are now approximating another contest for
Governor and for Members of the Legislature. II
bids fair to be exciting one, and, certainly, one
of vast magnitude. 1t must not, and will not we
presume, be the purpose of cur party to remain
insctive, and give the field to eur opponents This
will not do for not dead bat stu liUe This
is true every word of it is true. And, to give
proof of this living vitality, we must collect and
rally our forces, and lead them on to the contest
We must have our candidates, from Governor down,
upon the track, and march bravely up TO their sup
port. We must clearly define our position and set
forth our programme, and, then, with determine
ton that knows no faltering, carve our way on
ward. We can do IL We must do it. Then for brave
hearts in this struggle
The submissionists of the State very sanguine,
and their starting condition will make them despe-
rate. The spoilS of office were never more inviting
to them than they now.
Under circumstances like these we cannot but
suppose they will resort to all means to accomplish
their purposes. Hence an inoipent step in their
movements, they are proposing to organize and to
bring out their candidates. rich feast is anticipa
ted. 1t will be a strange and homogeneous mingliug
and intermingling of Folks and Brownlows, Andy
JOhnsons and Andy Ewings and Bells Il Co. The
scramble will be fearfully painful But look out If
they don't knock your Johnsons and your Folks
higher than kite! The scent Of Democracy is yet
TOO strong upon the skirts of Andy for them to take
him into full fellowship. although they would proba-
bly, admit him upon probation account Of his able
support of Federalism. G.

The Arkansa. OrdInsnce.

The Ordinance adopted by the Arkansas Conven-

August to determine the question of Secession or
Cooperation. Those favoring secession shall have

cooperation win have upon their tickets "For Co
operation The fifth section of the ordinance is as
follows:
SEc, 8. Be IL further ordained, That if it shall APP
pear when the result of said election shall be made
known this convention, that majority of ali the
legal votes cast in the State have been cast for se-
eession" them that event. such vote shall be taken
to be instructions to this convention to pas act
of immediate secession any the convention shall at
once pass an ordinance, dissolving the connection
existing between the State of Arkansas and the
Federal Government, known as 1.-THE United States

have been cast for cooperation then this
ton shall Immediately take such steps as may be
deemed proper to further cooperation with with
the border unseceded slave States In efforts to Sc
cure q permanent and satisfactory adjustment of
the sectional controversies disturbing the country.
The convention has adjourned until the third

The Probable Action OF tho virginia Con.
VenIi0n.

The special Washington correspondent OF the
New York Express, writing under date of the Z3d
inst saws that letter had Just been received by Gen
Scott from prominent member of the Virginia Con-
vention in which it is declared that unless the Ad-
ministration shall conduct matters with great dis
erection andia view to concEaton, Virginia will BE-
cede and this letter having been through Mr.. Sew
ard, laid before the Cabinet special ambassador
from the President and his friends was sent to Rich
mond, to coax, bride, or bully the members OF the
Convention to stand up to the trough, fodder or no
fodder"
The correspondent says:
.sMr Summers letter. was based upon the deyel-
opment of secret canvass of the Convention, from
which it appeared that there was majority of only
three against secession. One of the three, Mr..
Jas Barbour, of Culpepper has since DECLARED for
secession. His brother A. T. Barbour, Supper
intendent of Harper's Ferry Armory, and also q
member of the Convention, has resigned his Govern
ment Office and is believed to be also in favor Of Sc
cession. although elected, as his brother was as q
Union man. THIS REDUCED THE MAJORITY AGAINST
SECESSION TO ONE VOTE, which it is feared viii be
overcome, unless disposition Is evinced by the
Administration for Cancellation.
Our opinion founded TO some extent on private
and reliable information, is, that the Convention
will pass an Ordinance of Secession which will be
submitted to vote of the people at the next regu>
lar election for ratification.
The people of Virginia are not in the habit OF
making unjust or reasonable demands; and having
demanded as the least they could accept not the
full measure of their rights the Crttenden Compro
mise, they will not back down from the stand they
have taken as the Submissionists of KENTUCKY have
done. Unless the Union be restored on the 6dsas
of the Oritepden amendment as construed bv ne Legts
ldire, Virgnid lciA certainly unite her destiny UaA

BUSINESS PROSPECTS IN NEW YoKK-DECREAsED
INPoRTLTIoSs-There appears to be very poor pros
poets IN New York, as elsewhere, for anything like
activity in business. The New York correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger, after speaking of fall
ing off Of 1885,, 429 in foreign imports, last week,
adds
These figures tel their own story. And if it
needed any additional illustration it may be had by
a walk down Liberty street, and most other thor
oughfares in thst neighborhOod where the whole>

ry warehouse may be seen little placard, announc-
ing lofts" TO let at low rents and not Vnfrequently.
the entire house. The marble-faced stores which
were erected in Liberty street, between Broadway
and Greenwich street. during the flush times, few
years ago, have proved a melancholy investment
To-day, there is scarcely one of them, am told
that could not be purchased for cash at about one
half the original cost. A lite further up town-in
Murray, Warren and Chambers streets-therei is
business DONG and real estate is suffering less
depreciaton-yet there, the vast falling of in
business is in q variety of ways painfully visible
1t is idle to deny that the foreign importers are
greatly alarmed lest this state of things, bad it
is is to be aggravated by the Morrill, tariff and
the anticipated competition from the seeding States
1t is also true that not few of them are making
arrangements transfer their business to the South
Politicians. for partisan purposes, may pooh-poOh
these things, but they are facts nevertheless.

TIE FeelInr I'M .the SCUM.

We have been kindly permitted to make the fol,
lowing extracts from private letter written by 9
prominent citizen of this city, which gives q fair
and truthful view of the present feeling in the
South. It is dated 9th inst:
"There was never grosser misrepresentation
than that which claims that there is strong dissatis
faction and a strong Union party In any of the Sc
ceded States.
II saw DR.. this morning, who has just
returned from Montgomery. He says the Adminis>
tration there think there will be war; They could
not be induced to return TO their connection with
the defunct Union. have been more encouraged
about the Southern in Tennessee, since left
home, than for long time before"
If a few prominent and strong men would move
strongly and warmly, Tennessee would soon occu-
py her natural position in the Southern cause. /
meet many persons who have just now reached the
conclusion that there il no prospect for a recon-
struction of the Union and the idea of permanent
political severance from their true political and
commercial friends and allies, well their rels-
tons in the South, shocks them, as well it may"
would say that our friends have no reason to
be discouraged by the election in February as some
of them seem to be.

Hard TImes i'm RaItImore,

The Baltimore Sun publishes column of letters
from firms in that city, showing that business there
is nearly ruined, and that somebody is hurt" One
clothing firm, which gave work last March to about
1000 persons, now employs 200 another, in the
same business, employs 49, where last year it en-
plOyed 1,lOO Speaking of business prospects, the
San says
Ordinarily at this season of the year the revival
of business mparts vivacty to all the departments
of active life but the spring opens with us without
any of these customary evidences Of confidence and
activity and idleness and restitution are entailed
upon many who have looked with kindling hope to
this period. If the current state of public and bust
ness affairs continues the suffering of the present
day is but the beginning of further and more gene

of these names viii serve the same purpose as the

The Patriot does not favor recognition of the
Southern Confederacy, and does not favor war upon
it. We know not whether the Patriot is aware of it.
but it seems TO be the policy of Mr.. SEWARD also to
have "things remain as they are" No one who il
familiar with the antecedents and character of Mr.
SEWARD. can doubt that he is the most dangerous
man to the South that there is in the Union. With
all the cunning Of fox he has all the hatred of our
institutions of demon. Many of the reckless and
thoughtiess of his party are now denouncing him
for an apparent haltng in his onward career in the
cause of Liberty" One of the cardinal doctrines
of Mr. SEwAKD's political policy, again and again
repeated by him, is circumstances determine pos
sibilihes." Several years ago, in a speech in
Ohio, speaking of the abolition of slavery, he
said al know that you will tell me this is
al too slow. Well then, go faster, if you can, and
/ will go with you" So, now, when he sees the
South about to elude his deadly grasp, he uses all
his wiles to lure them back again. He is unwilling
recognize the independence of the Seeded States
for that might be to give them up for ever. He is
alike unwilling yet to declare for their subjugation
for that might drive the remaining Southern States
from the Union Hence he prefers TO let things
remain as they are, y while he cunningly pursues
the policy of worrying them into submission. He
still keeps before them the dread of war, hoping by
compelling them to keep an army in the field and
increasing their public debt to drive them back into
his power by dread of taxation. In the mean
time time, by means of his hired soldiery, he
may form the nucleus of a Union party in
the Confederate States which, perhaps, he
thinks may result in returning them TO his fold
or SO divide them that thew will become an easv
prey for the Black Republican Administration. But
the sagacious statesmen of the South understand
Mr.. SEWARD and his policy. They will demand of
the Government whose action he controls, a recOg-
milton of their independence and the withdrawal of
his troops from thei- limits. They cannot command
the former, but they will insist upon the latter at
all hazards. The people want quiet restored and
they know that cannot be done by having things
remain as they are" 1t can only be done by re-
cognizing the new Confederacy.
