Bide Our Time.

The Petersburg Iader says that should mill
tary vassalage be meted out to us-shoud the
proudest hearts that beat be doomed to bend
and bow under the weight of slavery, there re.
mains only one recourse. Time stridesronward
with sweeping tread. Change hangs upon
his footsteps, and destiny directs the imperial
march Of the irresistible forces of Providence.
To the oppressed of all climes and nations there
is surer hope than in battling with the strong,
and it lies in patient biding of their time The
truth Will reassert itself some day, and mean
while it remains for US to build up our waste
places, to make fertile the lands 50 long barren,
to drown the murmurs Of discomfort with the
ring OF busy hammers on resounding anvils, to
develop our boundless resources Of mineral
wealth, to foster agricultural enterprise, to ex-
tend our commercial relations, to cultivate In
tercourse with those who misunderstood us,
and seek by industry and honesty to ensure
their friendship, to do diligently and trustfuly
our duty in the present, and find all the free
dom and happiness necessary to mans we'll be-
ing in the consciousness of duty performed
And should all this fail at last Of good result,
we shall die more free in soul, more brave in
heart. than those who grind the heel Of despot
ism upon fallen foe.
The discipline of the present can be made the
foundation of substantial prosperity, and the fu-
ture will avenge our wrongs

CIR ViaW

The Baltimore Gazette expresses the view we
entertain In reference to consenting to concess-
ions to those who unconstitutionaly Cypress us.
At the conclusion of long and able editorial
on the Sherman bill, the Baltimore Gazette
says that greater evil will come more GER
tainly upon the Southern people IF they con-
sent to eat dirt at the bidding of their oppres-
sors, than if they refuse to groyel at their feet.
They were brave and enterprising in war. Let
them now exhibit to the world the grandel
spectacle Of steadfast endurance under defeat
and subjugation. 1t is hard lesson to learn.
but 1t has Its uses. 1t has also its compensa.
tons. The fortitude that meets oppression
calmly, battles and confounds the oppressor.
Where men have the moral stamina to confront
the worst without faltering, they are strone
even in their weakness. There is limit to the
bitterest persecution which cannot safely be
overpassed. There is a heroism in patient suf
fering that touches more nearly the sympathies
OF civilized nations than the heroism fthe bat
tle-feld'

Onr Mother. VIRGINIA.

Our good old mother, Virginia, being about
to be outraged, some have, it is said, doubted
whether or not they should advise her to yield
her consent, to avoid. as they supposed, rough
er treatment in the act. The honor of State,
like the virtue of woman, cannot be robbed OF
taken by vioence-it can only be gfren away,
or lost by the consent of the party ruined
Virginia has lost all but her honor, and that
she should prize as dearly, and guard as jeal-
ously, as a woman the jewel of her virtue
Grievous and oppressive wrongs may be intilct-
ed upon her, walls of infuriate wrath, as hot as
fused lava, may be poured upon her head
these she can bear, because they do not affect
her good name and reputation but the sacri-
flee of her honor, she cannot bear, because that
links her name with infamy. God bless Vir-
gnia, and may none Of her sons ever do any act
inconsistent with her cherished honor.
The honor of Virginia forbids the acknowl-
edgment of the validity of the unconstitutional
act of Congress by calling Convention in ac-
cordance with its provisions; or the adoption
of the Constitutional amendment, which she so
emphatically rejected on the ground that her
honor forbade it.
We may add that not only honor, but sound
policy, also, forbids the adoption Of either of
these propositions. IF these outrages be forced
upon US against our consent, all the odium just
ly attaching to them belongs to the perpetrators,
and they would be delighted if we would relieve
them of that odium by consenting to their per-
petration. BY conscnting, we become parties
to the act, and change It's character from gross
outrage forced upon US to a self-imposed abase
ment.
Honor and sound policy demand that Vir-
ginia and the other Southern States, should
stand firmly by their rights and resolve to bear
with heroic fortitude whatever may be forced
upon them. Their motto, SO far as oppressive
Federal legislation is concerned, should be-
'Nasterly inactivity and heroic tortitude' -
The South should not suffer her equanimity
to be disturbed-she should be as calm as the
sleeping ocean, and as firm as the rock-ribbed
mountains

The Sentiments Of our People.

The Lynchburg Neos, in the following ex-
tract from an editorial article, expresses the
sentiments of our people. ''Of one thing, !"
says that paper, we may rest assured, and we
cannot too often reiterate the fact The domi-
nant party in Congress have fully determined
to exclude the South from participation in the
next Presidential election No matter what
concessions we may make; no matter what deg
radiation we may invite; no matter what Con-
stitution we may adopt. our exclusion from par
ticipation in the government, at least until after
the next Presidential election, is, with the Rad
icals, foregone determination. Why, then,
should we become parties to our own disgrace
Why, with suicidal hand, shall we strike the
blow which is to compass not only our political
destruction but our eternal infamy? Let us,
rather, choose the crown Of martyrdom in the
cause Of liberty and justice, than by temporizing
and dishonorable expedients, vainly attempt to
avert the threatened danger.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1867-03-05

We concur in the sentiments expressed as
follows by the Lynchburg Republican 1--WE
must not change our base. We must fight it
out on this line if it takes us quarter Of ce,l
fury Let the waves of fanaticsm roll NOUN
tain high let military despotism settle down
upon our fair land like mighty pail Of death
but let our people remain true to themselves,
true to constitutional liberty, true to tie mem.
DRY and character Of their sires, true to God
and their native land This is the only priv
lege now left us and to people robbed Of al
other liberties, it is a glorious privilege II
accept State governments at The point of fedora
bayonets-to amend the constit ution under du
ress and threats-to escape temporary evils a
the price Of future liberty, would infict upon u.
eternal disgrace, humiliation and ruin Let u
stand still like the rock-ribhed mountains of ou
oppressed South, and the sunshine Of civil lib
erty may yet break through and dispense the
angry clouds Of anarchy that now shut out tn,

The pannla Of knOrsfa

We think we know the character Of the citi-
zens of this county, and, if We be not egregious
ly mistaken, no degree of oppression will induce
them to do any act, or yield their voluntary con
sent to any act, which would directly or indi
rectly derogate from their character, as an hon
est, high minded and patriotic community, faith
full and true to the constitutional liberties Of the
people, aud will, therefore, not consent to rec
ognize the validity of any unconstitutional act

The Proper View.

In discussing, with what we conceive to be
the proper spirit, whether the Legislature
should do anything by which they would rec
ognize the validity of the unconstitutional and
oppressive measures of Congress. the Lynch
burg Ne1os, asks Shall we tamely surrender
every constitutional right, acknowledge ourselves
without the pale Of law, and admit that our po-
litical privileges, our property, our liberty and
our lives, are held at the mercy or caprice of
the Radicals in Congress?
We concur with the Neacs that if we are des-
tined to find relief at all from the yrannical op-
pressions of the Radical party. it can only be
had through the reaction Of the popular mind
at the North. IF this be granted it follows, as
matter of course, that the more fragrant the
usurpations, the more palpable the violations
of the Constitution, the more tyrannical the
outrages enacted by this party, the more GER
tainly and speedily will this reaction occur. In
this light, then, the very indignities which we
suffer, and the additional wrongs with which
we are threatened may, under Heaven, prove
the most efficient means for bringing about the
destruction of that party which has perpetrated
these enormities.
Let us never accept as valid bill which alb
rogates every right we ever enjoyed; let us
never renounce every attribute of manhood /;
surrender Internationally every legal safe guard
thrown around our property and our lives by
virtue of the Constitution and cravenly ac-
knowledge our own unworthiness to live, ex-
cept at the mercy of such men as Stevens and
his mvrmidnnS

Moral and Political Conscience.

A State has moral as well as a political con
science-the former considers what is right, the
latter what is expedient AtAthens these were
represented respectively by Aristides and Them
istocles, when the former said, in substance,
what Themistocles recommends would promote
the interests of Athens, but it would not be
right.
Both the moral and political conscience OF
Virginia would be violated, in orr opinion, by
either the adoption Of the constitutional amend
ment, or the recognition of the validity of the
force bill by calling Convention in accordance
with its provisions, as the adoption of either
course would be both wrong and inexpedient.

SPEAKER OF THE WEST VIRGINIA HOUSE
OF DELEGATES. The Wheeling Register on the

The Alexandria Gazette says that it is certain
that all the argument, and all the reason, and
all the justice and all the Constitution, are in
opposition to the measures of the dominant par
ty in Congress yet, by the force of party
discipline applied to numbers, these measures
are carried-and acquiesced in. We begin to
perceive the principle of fear exerting some in
fuence at the North They quail there under
the terror" of the Radicals. This IS one of
the worst signs of the times.
