Whether, then, this sentiment will favor
our Independence, depends not at all upon
what Greeley uey write or Vallandighsm may
sanction, tut upon tho rosul; Of tho Southern
oamgaisa. Employing any roin'oDs with The
Ne:sa a tho most remote metaphor, the re-,
sui. s." "a, Chicago Convention cannot hc

c;nc.s shall DO heard from. Il is tho iounden
duty then, Of Vnginians to look 10 thu bloody

Yascry sufficiently powerful 10 penetrate tn

managers neither know or desire to know rs
suits. Their business is 10 conform their &C

soldiers; lob us employ, provide for and
encourage on. people, worn with the woes Of
war; let US prosecute our struggle with an
earnest and prayerful resolution lot Us de-

With these things the draft of Lincoln vii!
become hstolul, the task of subjugston I'M
noesible, and tho Yankee nation will start
back aghas. from tho oha,nl Of blood and
ruin whicb Lincoln has spruas beneath
Thorn. ResorSing thu Roman oracle, they
may close this chasm not by casting
into i. the nobless treasure of the Re-
public, but its worst and most infamous curse
Lincoln aud Abolition. In the meantime, |
we warn our people that the Chicago Conrsn-
ton is composed Of tho same materials with |
the Charleston Convention. in which Brute |
Butler cast fifty odd ballots for President !
