ion that Virginia was not invited to a banquet of prosperity and power, but to a carnival of death. He was in favor of a preservation of the Union, and opposed to the probable policy of the Southern Confederacy. With regard to the Inaugural of Lincoln, while he was not his apologist, and dissented from many of his dangerous doctrines, he thought it was not susceptible of being construed into an intention to march an army to the seceded States, for the purpose of enforcing payment of revenue. acted, and produced an ambiguous proposition, requiring an interpretation. The speaker went on to urge Western members to come up to the aid of those who stood around the same family altar, pointing them to the sacrifices which Eastern Virginians had made for the maintenance of the Union.

The Convention. Mr. Wysor, of Pulaski, yesterday submitted a proposition in the form of an ordinance, for dissolving all political relations between Virginia and the other States. Referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Early, of Franklin, made a personal explanation, and produced copies of letters which had passed between himself and Mr. Goode, of Bedford, resulting in an amicable settlement of their little misunderstanding. Mr. Brent, of Alexandria, made a speech on the Union side of the question. He opposed the policy of secession, but admitted the right; his view being that Virginia would be much better taken care of under the Federal Government than in the Southern Confederacy.

Henry Winter Davis. We thank Heaven and take courage in the hopes of humanity, when we see that Treason does not always get its reward even in this world. The snug place in the Cabinet for which Henry Winter Davis has been selling his native land is given to others. Judas has not rereived even his thirty pieces of silver. Let him go out and hang himself! Such is the just and righteous doom of men who barter away the honor and independence of their own States for the sake of Federal preferment. We never expected to say one word in favor of Lincoln, but we believe the appointment of Cease or Horace Greeley in the Cabinet would be more acceptable to the South than that of Henry Winter Davis. The President does well to boot from his presence the recreants who expect to gain Executive favor by treason to their rightful masters at home, and who are eager to sell their birthright as American citizens for a mess of vile official pottage.

Is Disunion War or Peace They told as last fall that the secession of the Southern States would be civil and servile way, accompanied by horrors compared with which those of St. Domingo were child's play. The friends of the South insisted that universal secession of the South was Peace, and that the remainder of the Union would have neither the inclination nor the power to attack that which had departed. What do we see now? The Inaugural of President Lincoln, notwithstanding all its threats of coercion, is pronounced a pacific document, and it is declared that he does not believe what he says when he threatens coercion, and that he has not the means to enforce it. Senator Douglas rises in his place in the Senate, and declaring the Message eminently peaceful, says he is informed, by military men, that an army of ten thousand soldiers, and the whole navy of the United States, would not be sufficient to reinforce Maj. Anderson! Bravo, South Carolina! All hail,
