~ The people Of Richmond have,
very properly, discharged from their
employ ment all negroes who voted
the IIunnicut ticket. Some of the

indignant thereat, as n matter of

stocked the South with viper broodS.
they expect us to warm them in our
boSoms. Let the example set by the
people of Richmond be followed
throughout the South.

the Charleston Mercury says:
There is but one way--dictated alike by interest
and honor-which it becomes the Southern States to
pursue. Leave the Executive and judiciary Of the
United States TO fight and settle status III the

artmcuts Of the Government, can neither be ter
y;uriasod be long kept out Of the Union OF the
United States Let them simply stand on the defen-
sivc They have yielded euough-(perhap8 far more
than their poserty will be proud OF for peace and
honor. Let them reject everything and propose
nothing until their representatives are admitted TO
Congress- terms, in the shape Of law, passed by
Congress and approved by the President of the United
States shall rive us the only assurance worth think
ing Of, that by compliance we will have peace.
