aries.--Wm. M. Semple, L. M. Montgomery. Mr. Bonford, on taking the chair, addressed the meeting for a few minutes in an eloquent and patriotic strain, congratulating those present on the proud attitude of Virginia. The following resolutions were adopted, amid vociferous cheered: Resolved, That, white, as natives of the Old Dominion, we have received the news of her secession with unbounded joy. Resolved, That we send her our heartfelt greetings, and will hail the advert of her new star in the galaxy of our glorious Southern Confederation with pride and pleasure. Resolved, That while as citizens of Louisiana by adoption, our first allegiance is to her, yet we pledge ourselves, now as ever, to be true to Virginia's reliving say, "Sic Semper Tyrannis." Resolved, That the action of the Governors of North Carolina. Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri, indicating one unanimous fouling of resistance among the Southern people fills our hearts and serves our arms.

. Some of the States still hesitated, but soon all would be in. Tennessee was no longer in the late Union. She was out by resolutions of her popular assemblies, in Memphis and other cities. Kentucky would soon be out. Her people were moving.

Many of us looked at that Constitution as the anchor of safety.

is influenced by Maryland in the same manner that Maryland is influenced by Virginia. It advances our base of operations beyond Baltimore on the high road to Philadelphia, where we would hand like an avenging cloud over that City of Brotherly Hate, with the power to reach even New York. With Philadelphia and New York thus threatened, we cause a diversion which will force the western troops to the Atlantic seaboard, and thus encourage, embolden and animate the Southern men in Kentucky and Missouri. It is unnecessary to refer to the moral prestige which we would gain by possessing Washington. Every dictate of policy, of chivalry, and of gratitude, should urge Virginia to march to the relief of Baltimore. Our friends there are perhaps this day fighting with their hands against Lincoln's armed hosts or the mercenaries of Henry Winter Davis. The Southern men of Baltimore have literally thrown their unarmed bodies before the sword bayonets of the abolition troops, to save Virginia
