The Virginia Convention, on Friday, passed
several Of the resolutions Of the Committee on
Federal Relations with Little amendment. rath-
or significant alteration was made in one case;
a certain phrase was az follows: eve indulge
" the hope that an adjustment may be reached
"by which the Union may be retstablished;"
this the Convention amended so as to make it
read ave earnestly desire" From this it may
be inferred that the former expression was con-
sidered too strong An attempt was made to or
der the North to abandon all political organza-
tions; but it was unsuccessful, even the Virginia
Convention thinking the demand somewhat impu-
dent On Saturday, during the consideration OF
one of the resolutions, motion was made to
strike it out and insert a substitute one justi-
flying secession only after the failure of every
constitutional resort. This proposition was re-
jected by vote Of % Yeas to ia Nays. This
minority is supposed to represent those who are
determined to stand by the Union in oil events.
resolution, to the effect that Committee of
three wait on the President and demand q state
1ent of his policy, was passed. then reconsidered
ard fought about with much excitement till the
Convention adjourned for the night and the Sab
bath.

How TO Deal with Secession.

The opinion seems to prevail very general
ly, especially among democrats that the
Federal Government will have to make war
upon rebelious States, for the purpose of co.
ercing them to return to their allegiance
but this is a mistake No war will be neces-
sary, even lift would be justified. There
will be no need of Interfering with the inter
nal affairs ofany State, in order to maintain
the Union and enforce the laws. The reve-
nue. must be collected, and this can be ac-
comp!ished by blocka1ing rebslious ports,
and in the last resort, by repeating the acts
making them ports of entry. If they will
not be represented in Congress, they need
not be- 1t is their own act If they will
not submit to the postal regulations, and
Post Masters cannot be found to serve, they
will have the privilege Of getting their mails
the best way they can, and paying the ex-
pense Of carrying and serving them them
selves. If they interrupt judicial proceed.
inys, and Judges refuse to serve, they may
be annexed to the nearest adj ,ining Judi
cial District This treatment will accom-
plish the object without the necessary loss
ola single life, unless the rebels chose them
selves to commence the fight, and that would
be coercion on the other side. IT would be
levying war against the United State in
which case the government would have no
choice but repel force with force The latter
alternative it is believed, will n arise.

The battle between Slavery and Freedom has been
bravely fought and won Abraham Lincoln is Pres,-

administered for the benefit of section. No such
miserable policy will prevail that of permitting the
Government to fall millions of dollars in debt annu-
