ght. The Republican party cannot be put down. It is to be the permanent dominant party at the North, and thus we were authorized to conclude that the North hates slavery. The whole people there regard it as a moral and social evil, and in the course of events, it would merge from passive into active hatred. In the past, the North invariably exerted against slavery the whole amount of power which it had to exert.--They abolished it in the magnificent empire which Virginia presented them in 1787, and in every State and Territory North of 36,30; then endeavored to put the Wilmot Proviso on all other Territories of the Union, and succeeded in Washington and Oregon. They had taken all that was acquired by the Mexican war, and appropriated it to the free country. They do all they can to make negroes free — maltreat their pursuers, and make raids to murder all classes and sexes; and when the chief perpetrator is caught and punished, half the North goes into mourning.

ircumstances might demand. The Legislature also adopted resolutions setting forth a catalogue of vevancis, and suggesting such remedies as the people ought to adopt. These resolutions did not grow out of the fact that a Northern man was elected to the Presidency, and that the South was to be excluded from all there in the government, but out of the fact that the North had declared war upon our institutions, and a purpose to destroy them. The Convention assembled at Jackson on the 7th of January, and on the 9th, by an overwhelming majority, proceeded to adopt an ordinance of secession, by which Mississippi dissolved her connection with those people who had dishonored her, without the hope expectation, or wish of ever being restated, and with a purpose to hold them as her enemies in war, but in peace her friends. Another clause in the ordinance expressed her wish to form a Union with all those States which might secede, upon the basis of the Constitution of the United States.

respect, under such circumstances, she would do. This, however, was not a threat. He believed if Virginia joined the South, it would not be done. It had been said that the seceded States went out without giving the border States an invitation. In this respect the position occupied by the Cotton States towards each other, and that occupied towards the border States, were the same. Each State acted by herself, and acted promptly, in order to be prepared for the great event of the 4th of March. It was a necessity. They could not afford to wait. He did not feel that their case was desperate, even if Virginia refused to unite with them. They had 5,000,000 people; had arms and ammunition; had a prospective arrangement with foreign Governments; and above all, they had a cause. Their cause would save them against the North. They most earnestly desired the co-operation of Virginia, and if she refused, they would receive it more in sorrow than in anger. Greater than we once

Another clause in the ordinance expressed her wish to form a Union with all those States which might secede, upon the basis of the Constitution of the United States. As early as the 10th of February, 1860, the Legislature had adopted a resolution in effect that the election of a President by the votes of one section, upon the ground that there is in irrepressible conflict between free and slave labor, and of an avowed hostility to the South, would justify the South in taking measures of consultation, and in proposing a remedy. The North had ample warning that it was through their own reckless folly and madness that the Federal Union would be shattered. But in defiance of this, and o

cumulated from a thousand other sources, they proceeded to nominate a candidate, who, though not the most distinguished among them, was still a true representative of their principles of hostility to Southern institutions. The speaker then reviewed the acts of the Black Republican party, alluding to their avowals of war upon the institution of slavery, leading to its eventual abolition in the States themselves. As a part of the history of the controversy, he read from a speech of Lincoln in 1858, quoting his opinion that the slavery agitation would never cease till a crisis was reached and passed; that the Government could not permanently endure while half slave and half free; and that he did not believe the house would ever be divided, but expected it would eventually be all free or all slave. This was the avowed principle of the party who elected a President by a large majority in the free States. In defiance of all the purposes for which the Government was founded instead of

Virginia State Convention.Fifth day. Monday, February 18, 1861. As early as 9 o'clock the ladies thronged the various entrances to the Institute building. and when the doors were opened a struggle look place of an exciting, but somewhat amusing character. After a good deal of compression, a little shrieking, and much laughing, the "advanced guard" of femininity poured into the Hall, and quickly filled the ladies' gallery. Hundreds of others continued to arrive completely blocking up the front passage, and through the lower hall. As many were admitted as could be accommodated with seats, and many more turned away from the Hall, some with sorrow and others with indignation. The rush of the "sovereign people" was not so great, because those who were minus tickets generally thought it useless to assemble where they were not invited. Notwithstanding all the precautions, however, there was considerable confusion in the lobby, which at one moment, seemed likely to result in k
