Il meet all this chain of subtletes with
single fact-a fact which even you will not con-
troyert nor declare irrelevant. | rest on the
naked truth that VIRGINIA, through her greatest
statesmen, melted and brought rs to do Just 'ohat
you here state IRE ought not and hare no right 10
do. You cannot deny that Thomas Jefferson, in
the first draft ever made of an Ordinance for tie
Government of the Territories, not of ''the sew
eral " but of tie United States, framed this pro-
vision, making il applicable not to part but to
all the common territories, down even to the
southern limit of the Conftderaton-nOt merely
of such as had already been ceded by the States re-
spectiyely claiming Them but of such also should
be cejed thereafter, as be presumed and intended
that oil should be. Here are his very words
"TLs after the year 1900 Of the Christian ers therc shall be
neither Slavery involuntary seyude in Of the said
State otherwe than IN punishment Of otne. whereof the
MIR. JeifersOn's bill divided all the territories
within our conceded limits into seventeen em-
bryo States, and made the above provision extend
to and cover them all. More than two-thirds of
the members then in Cougrcss-when nearly
every State held slayes--voed for the above pro-
vision. It barely failed then because OF the re-
quirement OF O majority of a quorum from
seven of the thirteen States to carry PROPOSE
tons but the essential restriction was renewed
three years later, carried by a unanimous vote
of Congress, Virgniens included and ratified
next year by Ike vote of the first Federal
Congress, George Washington signing the bill.
These are very old facts, Mr. Summers. You
are doubtless familiar with them. You know
also that il was John RandOlph-anothcr Vir
ginia slayeholder-who reported against and de.
feated the unanimous prayer Of the Governor aud
Territorial Legislature Of Indiana Territory that
Slavery be permitted therein for limited period.
Mr. Randolph resisted this on the distinct ground
that Slavery ia an evil and q curse-and Con-
gress said Amen. There was nothing said of a
"f,r partition" nor of comforting benefits on one
section Of the Union at the expense Of another;
but Congress decided that Slavery ought to be
restricted, and that the power to restrict 1t ex-
isted ia that body, and acted accordingly. H.,
then. there are sectional divisions and geogrophI-
cal parties in the Union, the blame rests Oh you,
who have forsaken the paths traced CIT By our
common fatheEs--not we who continue to walk
steadfastly therein. Yours,

WHO MAKES WAR

We live under q Government based on q
written Constitution That Constitution requires
every fnnctonary and ION Occasion) every citi.
zen to support and uphold it. 1t expressly pre-.
scribes that all duties and imposs shall be uni
form throughout the Union. The President, on
his inauguration, takes a solemn oath TO enforce
the laws. He lays perjury to his soul il he does
not in good faith eudesvOr 10 do 30. To let the
revenue go uncOlected on half oar seabOard is
to paraiyze and ultimately preclude ts collection
anywhere. To allow rebels and traitors to in
tercept and inappropriate those revenues is
even worse than to let them remain uncollected.
Government that would tamely submit to this
confesses itself a humbug and bastard. Either
govern or abdicate is the obvious dictate of com
mon deceEcy.
If highwayman were TO poke his rifle and
his head into a stage-coach ald demand the pas.
sengers' wallet, and purses under penalty of death,
who could blame that passenger who resisted
as peace-breAker and bloodshedder' Who
would not say to any remOnStrant, "Address
yourself to the robert is he who breaks
" the peace-not the brave defender Of Property
"and Right ?"
There is no peace-there can be none-on any
other basis than that Of respect for constituted
authority and submission TO law. They who defy
the legally constituted authOrities-who break and
trample down the lnTs--who have stolen the
property and fred at the flag Of the Union-are,
befol.s God aud man, responsible for whatever of
bloodshed may result from their wicked rebellion.
Let US have peace-instant, perfect, lasting
peace; but only on the basis of submission aud
obedience TO the laws. That obedience we have
all sworn TO render-it is our simple duty to
render tit is the imperative duty Of the Gov.
eminent to require it. Peace on the basis of
letting every one who chooses defy the laws, re-
sst the laws, tramgle on the laws, would be
stupendous lie, hideous mockery. That is
not peace which lead. inevitably through law,
Iessness TO anarchy.
Who are for the Union, the Constitution, and
the enforcement Of the Laws Let them show
it in tho crisis now upon US! Thousands have
been talking of their devotion to the Union: now
let them back their words by deeds! The Gov
eminent is about b. yiadicate its right to exist
to assert its authority aud set forth its power.
Let us see who stands by it, and who propose
to substitute the Spanish.American reign OF
and revolutions for The peaceful
supremacy Of Law! Marx the men who prove

1t would seem from the following burst OF a
feeling which peryadcs the columns Of The Rich
mond Examiner, that me Secessonists in Vir-
gina have little hope Of getting that State out
Of the Union. The Examiner exclaims:
The orly resort le belrayol people viii be- tie last tie
most deporlle Of AL the CT Revolution. That viii
DO he only hope AID tbs any hundnd hon
eat men Of character aid fsiho viii taio weapons In
their hands, and ,he lives IN their teeth and assemble together
with the resolution overthrow ind dpee the vile tyranny
which now weighs the heart of this State may not only
conpIsh their Purpoe With the fa accord Of public Oron
but cover themselves With glory which win last longer than
Greek or Roman reputation"
This is at least consistent The party who have
set On foot civil war in the Union need not shrink
from setting it on foot in Virginia. But before
beginning there they will do well to wait q
while and see what luck they have elsewhere.

we have five days later news from Europe. The
funeral of the Duchess of Kent took place at

the ground that the Emperor Of Austria IS not,

he, Kossuth, is the only person possessing
lawful power to issue Hungarian notes, the
national Diet having conferred that power
upon him. A conspiracy had been detected and
suppressed in the prisons at Chatham, where

some quarters, to the effect that President
Lincoln, or The Secretary Of State, entered into
gu agreement or arrangement with the Rebel
Commissioners al Washington concerning the

without foundation. No such agreement no such

If Mr. Lawrence had little sense, he could
