The Alarm Bell.

Gov. Walker, of Virginia, in his late
message to the Legislature, made the fol-
lowing appeal to the people Of that State:
When venality triumphs in our public
places aud iusedious approaches oftyrany
are UNDECIDED by the masses; when at a To-
gal election Federal soldiers, by order Of
Federal officers, With loaded mnskets aud
fixed bayouets. surround the polls, or Fed
eral batteries with shotted guns bcleaguer
a city to over awe the citizens in the free
exercise Of the elective franchise; when i'm
beetle aud corrupt local governments are
forced upon people, and then punished
for the inelliciency and rottonness Of the
very governments by the arbitrary depri.
walton Of all civil government, all
rights and all liberty; arrested by
thousands without warrant Of law and
driven to prison like cattle to the shambles
it is time ihe alarm bell was sounded and
the people awakened to sense of the }, dan a,
ger impending. They alone can apply the
corrective. They have the means Of redress
in their own hands; let them insist that
the doctrine of the indestructibility of the
Union as the fathers framed it shall be rec
ornizel, and the Original and Inherent SOW
ereignty Of States, and the strict 3D.
minlstration Of the powers granted by them
to the Union, shall again be acknoweds-
ed Let them demand the inviOlabllity Of
habeas corpus, the subordlnatlon of mill,
tary to civil authority, the maintenance OF
public faith, State and national, untarnish
ed honesty in the administration Of public
affairs the publication and reduction OF tar
ifs, aud taxation to the lowest degree con-
sistent with the maintaineuce oftho public
credit; free education to all, a fostering care.

finally aud permanently universal amnesty
