Texas will be the termination of the American Union, and therefore the South will have more to lose than to gain by it. Dr. Channing, in a sequel to his pamphlet on the Lib. 12.95. Duty of the Free States, was ready to make slavery extension (though not slavery itself) a ground of disunion: Better that we should part than be the police of the slaveholder, than fight his battles, than wage war to uphold an oppressive institution. So I say, let the Union be dissevered rather than receive Texas into the confederacy. This measure, besides e

's Bill Arp so called, a book which in a period of economic depression and political disappointment had the power to make Southerners laugh. Among the Southern malcontents who had no sympathy for secession, two left accounts of their opinions and experiences. Parson Brownlow, who was expelled from Tennessee early in the war, published in 1862 his Sketches of the rise and progress of secession, replete with quotations from the contemporary Southern press. A few years later a Virginian, John M. Botts, made Southern policies the subject of denunciation in his Great rebellion (1866) and started a memorable historical controversy by declaring that Lincoln had offered to surrender Fort Sumter provided that the Virginia convention of 1861 would adjourn without taking action on secession. Closely related to the autobiography were the reports of newspaper correspondents and tourists. These were especially noticeable between 1865 and 1876 when the economic and social upheaval in the Sout

Political. --Ex-Governor Wise was to speak at Norfolk last night in advocacy of his Princess Anne resolutions. Hon. John M. Botts spoke in Portsmouth Wednesday night, At a Union meeting in Norfolk Wednesday night, resolutions were adopted, among which were the following: That it is unreasonable to regard the elevation of any citizen to the Presidency, who shall be duty elected by a constitutional majority of the people, as an act of aggression, or from which, of itself, we may infer designs hostile to our rights and liberties. That we have sufficient confidence in the people of the United States, in their love of the Union and reverence for the laws, to believe that they will, upon all just occasions, oppose and resist any clear violation of the Constitution, whether attempted in wantonness or under the forms of law. But we hold, that to anticipate and assume such violation, under existing circumstances, is at once unwise and unjust, and we shall regard the appointmen

e must fall, and ought to fall. Northern fanaticism would deny the first, has loosened the second, and threatens the last. Will the conservatives repair the wrong and restore the edifice? [Music--"Star Spangled Banner."] By request, Hon. John M. Botts responded. The Union was a subject upon which he was always prepared to speak. He referred with gratification to the fact that the Electoral vote of Virginia had been cast for Bell and Everett, and accorded honor to the five Breckinridge of officers — and Congress assuming the responsibility of paying for every slave so rescued, and holding it as a charge against the State in which such rescue was effected — and it would satisfy all the South except South Carolina. [Applause] Mr. Botts commented with some severity upon the President's Message. He thought it an absurdity for the President to say that he could not execute the law in South Carolina, because there was no Judge and no Marshal. If the Constitution and the laws co

Mr. Jas. H. May moved that a committee of three be appointed to wait on the Hon. John M. Botts, and invite him to address the meeting. Cries of "out of order," c the affirmative. The Chair appointed the following committee to wait on Mr. Botts: Jas. H. May. Richard F. Walker, and Wm. R. Sturdivant. A motion was mad for the approaching State Convention. Before the reading was concluded, Mr. Botts entered with the committee, and was greeted with loud cheers. This interruptn the table was lost. Before any further action was taken, the calls for Mr. Botts became most vehement.--Mr. Botts came forward on the stand, and was received Mr. Botts came forward on the stand, and was received with various demonstrations.--Mr. Thos. Clemmitt stood up and gesticulated with much energy, and as well as we could understand, appealed to the meeting to hear none at the same time — cheers and hisses commingled inharmoniously — and finally Mr. Botts was understood to say that he did not come there to address a mob, and retire

A card. --Messrs. Editors: In this morning's Dispatch we perceive our names affixed to a card calling on Messrs. Macfarland, Johnson, and Botts, to announce themselves as candidates for the State Convention.--When we signed this card we had no idea that we were calling on the Hon. John Minor Botts for his nomination. We have not the least objection to Messrs. Johnson and Macfarland, but we do not wish our names attached to any list calling on Mr. Botts to represent our feelings in this great cause of our State. Andrew Pizzini, F. McCARTHY, Juan Pizzini.
