See resolutions of the General Assembly of Virginia, in March, 1847, concerning the measure known as the Wilmot Proviso, in relation to Slavery in the region just taken from Mexico. He reminded them of the dangers which had just menaced their State by the raid of John Brown and twenty men, at Harper's Ferry, of the implacable condition of Northern opinion concerning Slavery; and the rapid increase of Abolition sentiment in the Free-labor States. He reminded them that the South had a right to demand the repeal of all laws hurtful to Slavery; the disbanding of every society which was agitating the Northern mind against Southern institutions ; and the surrender of the power to amend the Constitution in regard to Slavery, after it should be amended so as to nationalize the system.

providing for a division of the Republic into four sections, to be called, respectively, The North, The West, The Pacific, and The South.

Letter of John Minor Botts to H. B. M., Esq., of Staunton, dated November 27, 1860. We may also add the important fact that the great mass of the people, especially of Western Virginia, were too thoroughly loyal to follow the leadings of the politicians into revolutionary ways. Almost a year rolled away, and the same man (Memminger) stood up before a large congregation of citizens in Charleston, November 30, 1860. and, in a speech which perfectly exhibited the power of the politicians over the people of South Carolina, foreshadowed, in distinc

The bells of the churches rang out merry peals; and these demonstrations of delight were accompanied by the roar of cannon. Some enthusiastic young men went to the church-yard where the remains of John C.

If she violates the law, then comes the tug of war. The President of the United States, in such an emergency, has a plain duty to perform. Mr. Buchanan may shirk it, or the emergency may not exist during his administration. If not, then the Union will last through his term of office.
