CcxLL AND SETTLE.
We aie compelled to call upon all persons
indebted to us, to make payment as soon as
they conveniently can. Our necessities are
urgent and me must have money. We shall
confidently expec* all our friends who may be
in attendance at the coming Court, to pay up
their arrearages. We hope this appeal will
not be in vain.
Our Position.
Our readers will, doubties?, be thoroughly
con* inced by this time that the predictions made
in these columns from licre to time, have been
fully verified. We are now in the midst, in
the verv white heat, of civil war. The revo
lution in the Southern States is spreading so
rantdiy that it now threatens to overwhelm
every one of (he fifteen slave-holding states. —
The conthc' is now approaching our own bor
ders, and it becomes us as good citizens to unite
as one man, for the defence ol our State and our
homes, against invasion lrom the border
ing stales. Deeply impressed with the impor
tance of unanimity when such danger threat
ens us, we will suspend, for a time, the discus
sion of the causes which led to the present un
happy condition of our country and devote our
jpace and attention to the preparation ofoor
people for the defence of their country and
their homes. Under the time-honored banner
of the Unioo, we will stand or fall, tor the lib
erty, equality and protection of which it is the
symbol.
Stand by the Union !
Democrats ! We have fought, in other times,
to maintain the Union against the attacks of
its sectional enemies. Now that we are in the
midst of this bloody civil feud, let us stand by
the old banner under which we have marched
to many a political battle. Let us not be heard
crying, "The North against the South," or
"The South against the North," but "THE
GOVERNMENT AND THE UNION'" It
becomes our duty, our sacred, solemn duty, as
citizens of a Slate loyal to the Government, to
stand up for the maintenance of the authority
ol that Government. Let us b® true to the
covenant formed by our fathers, and discarding
vwvlontttoiii i.g.it A.
the vindication of the Constitution and the res
toration of the Union.
i'The Union, Ob! the Union,
So glorious and so pure !
We'll shoulder stand to shoulder,
To keep our Union sure."
Senator Douglas.
This distinguished Democrat takes the posi
t.on that whiLt he was entirely and emphati
cally opposed to the policy of the Administra
tion, which has involved us in our present dif
ficulties, and ..Ist he will be unalterably bos
!i'e to the political doctrines of that Adminis
uation, k? believes it his duly to lend all the
aid ii** tan give to the President in the exercise
of those powers which the Constitution has ves
ted ia his otiice. This is the position (or Dem
ocrats to take. Stand by the Government, but
preserve your organization, 3 cur principles,
your opinions, and never, never, yield one jot
of that creed which you believe to be the hope
and the salvation of your country.
Our Flag.
The glorious banner of stars, floats majestical
ly above our ctfice, bearing upon its azure field
the whole constellation of the Union. That
flag.to us i 3 full of meaning. It is the emblem
of liberty. It is the ensign of the Constitution.
It means not only stars and stripes, but it means
freedom of opiaion, freedom of slfrech, the e
quality ct American citizerls, the protection of
all men equally and alike. It does not mean
lynch law, it dots not mean mobs, but equity,
justice, order, the laws of the land. Let its
meaning not be perverted. Let it be main
tained in all the unsullied splendor of its primal
purity.
A word to our Southern Neighbors.
The latest reports by Telegraph bring us the
intelligence of skirmishes and battles in Mary
land, and ol an intended descent upon the bor
der villages in Pennsylvania. We would say
10 our neighbors, bethink yourselves of the past.
The people of the border counties in Pennsyl
vania, have always fought valiantly for your
rights and yielded not till the last foothold slip
ped from under them. Repay not their kind
otiices with such ingratitude. Should you at
tempt to do so, former frieud and former foe
will be compelled to unite for the purpose of
repelling your assaults. Let us have no gueril
la warfare like this.
Having maintained our freedom of]
speech,and believing the threatened reign of
terror a faiiuie, we shall cease, with this issue,
to speak of the causes which produced the re
sults that are now upon us, until public affairs
assume a more settled condition. We make
this statement, so that our position may not be
misunderstood.
Personal
The tongue ol malice has been wagging bu
sily irj this community during the last week.—
Hoary-headed pusallanimily, joined hands with
the lily-livered cowardice ot oveTgrown brag
garts, and the neighborhood, nay the whole
county, war flooded with malevolent, but ridic
ulous and harmless falsehoods concerning out po
sition in regard to the war. It was reported
thai we were a Secessionist (!!!); that our of
fice had been surrounded by a mob ; that we
were to bp hung ; that we were compelled to
hoist the Stars and Stripes, &c., .Sic. Now, it
is hardly necessary to give a formal contradic
tion to this puerile gasconade of a malicious,
frightened and excited opposition. But for the
benefit of those weak enough to be misled by
such silly fabrications, we would sav,
1. It is a he that we are a Secessionist, and
the man who dares to say it, is a coward and
poltroon.
2. Our office was not mobbed, nor was theie
any attempt to do so, and it is just as well for
ail parties concerned, that there was not.
3. We have not been hanged as yet; if we
have, we must have been under the influence of
chloroform, whilst that pleasant operation was
going on.
4. We hoisted the flag of our country ot our
own free will, and its folds were unfurled above
our office by the hands of our friends, unpollu
ted by the touch of those who are our enemies
for opinion's sake.
Local and Miscellaneous.
....The greatest excitement has prevail
ed in our town during the last ten days, owing
to the breaking out of the civil war between
the Government and the people of the South.
Business has been IO a measure abandoned.—
The implements ot peace have been thrown a
side lor the weapons ol war. The measured
tread of the soldier is h°ard in the street, and
all is bustle and preparation for the bloody strife.
The heart of the true patriot sickens within
him, as he contemplates this melancholy con
dition of things. To the thoughtless and gid
dy, it may be ail a frolic ; to us it is the harbin
ger of a most dreadful and devastating storm.—
But it behooves us to prepare for the safety of
our own country, as well as for the defence of
our flag, and, therefore, we must needs put on
the soldier and learn the "rude and ruthless
arts of war."
... .A number of the young men of this
place and the surrounding country, have form
ed themselves into a company and tendered
their services to the Governor. We believe
their offer has been accepted. John H. Filler,
of this place, was elected Captain, and Edwin
S. Mops, of Bloody Run, First Lieutenant.
i ... .We have had several war speeches in
j our town recently. Hon. John Cessna has la
ken the most prominent part ir. urging the peo
ple to arms. Wm. Harllpy, Esq., made a
; speech on Saturday night last, in which he
said that he was for the Union, the Constitu
tion aud the enforcement of the laws ; but that
he would bear the olive branch in the left.—
j Mr. Hartley spoke the sentiments of the great
mass of the people in Bedford county. Maj.
Tate also addressed the soldiers on Monday e
rening, but we did not have the pleasure ol
hearing his address
j ....Wouldn't work— the atones sent out
1 by certain malicious cowards to the effect that
our office had been mobbed and that a flag' bad
been placed upon it against our will. The peo
ple knew too weil that the Stars and Stripes
are our own Hag, the (lag of the Democracy, to
require any force-work to hive it hoisted on
cur establishment. Those who knew us best,
j were well aware, too, that we would never be
j forced to do anything against our will. Gen
tlemen malignants, that flag is the ensign of
Democracy, and you can't steal it from us, no
j how !
. .. .The Post office has been removed to the
.hatter shop of the Messrs. Kis**r, on Juliana
street. The new P. M., William Riser, Esq.,
j though an uncompromising "Republican," is a
; good citizen and we doubt not, will make a
! good officer.
... .We have received an anonymous com
munication, informing us that our visit to "Se
cessionist II " on Monday night last, was
strictly watched I Well Weill Has it come to
this! Must a frpeman ask the privilege of the
town to visit a neighbor in distress ?—Mr.
B is not a secessionist, as he has fre
quently declared to us, but has brothers and sis
ters living in Maryland, in regard to whose
welfare he is deeply concerned. Happening
to know this, we deemed it our duty as a friend,
to advise brm of occurrences in Maryland as re
ported by telegraph, and having heard that he
was fearful of certain threats made against
him, to assure him that he was in no danger.
We spent just ten minutes in Mr. B's house.
If any old woman in breeches disapproves of
our conduct, let her (him) statelier objections
to us, and the next time call upon any of
our neighbors, we will ask her (his) permis
sion to do so.
. .. .Capt. Phil. Morgart has organized a fine
company whose services will be tendered to
the Governor. The Captain is a man of the
true grit and as "whole-souled a fellow" as can
be found anywhere.
. ... We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of Mr. J. B. Farquhar, late
of Bloody Run, who has opened a Grocerv and
Confectionary Store in the old Brown stand late
ly occupied by Col. John A Dip. Mr. Far
auhar will be able to accommodate the public
with anything desired in his line of business.
. . . .Mr. Wm. Cook, late of Bloody Run, has
established himself in the old CUar blacksmith '
shop, in the Western pait of the town. Cook
is said to be a good mechanic. Try him.
. .. .Several robberies have been committed
in our town, within the last few nights. Sev
eral persons have had watches and other arti
cles taken from them. A night police has been
organized by the borough fathers.
[TT The latest news trom the South, indi
cates that the Federal Capital is in no dang-r
ot capture. The road to Washington from the
North is open. It is supposed that 20,000
troops will have concentrated a', that point by
this time.
M, Shoemaker &Co , have just re
ceived a large assortment of splendid new spring
and summer Goods, which they will dispose of
at panic prices. Give them a call.
LET THE UNPREJUDICED READ !
How they talked four weeks ago !
The Bedford Inquirer , of April sth, copied
the annexed article into its second editoria 1 col
umn, without comment, or explanation, thus
adopting it as its own sentiments. Four weeks
ago this precious stickler for the Union, in
structed his readers that the return of the sece
ded states was not de-sireJ, and that, "To such
a Union the Providence of God has said, 'Two
i nabons are m thy womb, and two manner of
j people shall be separated from thy bowpls !"
Then, the cry was, "Let the seceding States
go. "And i( the dwellers on the Atlantic
slope ol North Carolina and Virginia choose
that destiny, let them too go." But now how
changed !
[Fiom the Bedford Inquirer, April sth, 1861.]
JS THE VOLUNTARY RETURN OF THE
SECEDING STATES DESIRABLE 1
This question, we think, has not been suffi
ciently considered. It ought to be considered
now, r.ot only by the Government, but much
more by the people. Unthinkingly, it seems
.o be assumed that, if those Slates will return
voluntarily, in mere disconte.it with the grow
ing inconveniencies and expenses of secession,
all wiil be well. We are of a different opin
ion ; and we are confident that thinking minds
throughout the country are coming to the con
clusion that the re-annexation ol those States,
even by their spon'aneous return, is not to be
desired at present.
Such a re-annexation is not to be desired,'
unless the principle is first established, by pre
cedents never to be forgotten, that secession is
1 (reason, and that treason is a crime lo be pun
ished. The leaders ol the present secession
have levied war against the United Stales
After employing themselves in this way for
; six months, shall they be permitted to return,
and to remain within the reach of Federal mar
shals and the jurisdiction of Federal courts,
without being hanged for their treason ? If we
live to see this, why may we not live to see
Toombs and Wigfall again adorning the Sen
ate, and Jefferson Davis the successor of Wash
ington ? Why shall not Twiggs be restored to
his rank in the army ? Why shall we not as
sume all the debts of the Montgomery Govern- |
ment, and pension ali those who have served
more than ninety days in the revolutionary ar
my ? A ' reconstruction," even by the volun
tary return of the secessionists, presumes that
there will be, on the part ol the United States.,
< <..11 KUIMAIJ URMR IN-AS'IN. XJUCU u/i amnes
ty would b*a virtual destruction of tiie Gov
ernment. Therefore, we say that the return
o< the seceded states, even voluntarily, is not
to be desired, unless some of the leaders in the
treason are to receive the due punishment of
their crime with the full consent ot the South
and North.
Nor is it to be desired, unless the cause which 1
has produced this secession is removed. Less i
than ten j ears ago the Union of these Slates
seemed, to us, indissoluble. The balancp be-
tween internal self government in the several
| StaJ"3j and a more than imperial strength and
! benefiic?nce in the Union, is so marvelcusljr ad
'justed bv the' arrangements of the Constitu
tion, —the benefits which the Union confers on
! every state are so imfftant, so numerous, and
1 so clieaply purchased,—thif if seemed impossi
i ble for any English-speaking republic to exist
i in proximity to this Union without lading into
j it, as Texas did, by a gravitation too powerful
to be resisted : and especially impossible lor any
state, alter the experience of those benefits, to
tear itself away from its place and orbit in the
system, and make itself a "wandering star for
which is reserved the blackness of darkness for
ever." We knew indeed the chronic insanity
of South Carolina, but we did not admit th°
possibility of the same insanity in other states
Our mistake was that we did not adequately
consider the fact (obvious even (hen) that in the
; cotton states the structure, genius, and all the
j tendencies of society, are controlled by the bar
i barous and barbarizing institution of negro
j slavery. It is the distinction of those states
that there the interest of slavery predominates
over every other interest in society, and the
influence of slavery over every other influence.
There is no impossibility of permanent union
between states in which slavery exists and
states in which all men are free, if slavery rnav
|be regarded as abnormal, an accidental and
| temporary inconsistency, an evil which must
: be endured till the progress of civilization shall
| remove it. But when, in any portion of such
I a union, the institution of slavery has become
I paramount—the idea of slavery, as intrinsical-
I ly right and good, controlling all legislation and
public policy, all social and public morality, all
i religious doctrine, and mingling with all 'he
! impulses and aspirations of patriotism—then it
j is no longer pos-ible for those states to be coan
; preliended with free states in one nationality.
To such a Union the providence of God has
said "Two nations are in thy womb, and two
manner of people shall be separated from thy
bowels." We must accept the fact. It is no
j accident that has caused I his secession. The
j predominance of slavery in the cotton states
! has produced there, a distinct nationality, and
unless Ihnt cause of the present secession can be
removed, the return cf the seceded states to
their place in the Union is not to he desired.
Let the Seceding States go ! How evident
, is it that God, for great and beneficent purposes
! of his own, has permitted this insanity to come
; upon them. Let them go to work out their
i own destiny by ihemseives ! And if Iktdvoel-
Urs on the Atlantic slope of jYcr'h Carolina
and Virginia choose hurt destiny, let them too
got The policy of coercion is impolicy. The 1
boundary between the two inevitable national
ities will be most wisely determined by the
elective affinities of the population. Where-'
ever that boundary may be established, it will
. be moveable, southward, it Eastern Virginia, or
| Virginia entire, chooses to go with secession.—
Virginia will return whenever the interests of
freedom there shall predominate over the slave
; breeding interest. Till then let her go, it she
' will .—lndependent.

JBY THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA—A PROCLA
MATION.
J RICHMOND, Va., April 18.— WHEREAS, sev
i en ol the States formerly composing a part of
the United Slates, have, by authority of their
people, solemnly resumed the powers granted
j by them to the United Stales, and have framed
l a Constitution and organized a Government tor
themselves, to which the ptople of those States
| are yielding willing obedience, and have so no
i tified the President of the United States by all
i formalities incident to such action, and thereby
becom ß to the United States a separate, inde
pendent, and foreign power,
And, whereas, the Constitution of the Uui
j ted States has invested Congress with the sole
; power "to declare war," and until such decla
j ration is made, the President has no authority
| to call for an extraordinary force to wage offen
| sive war against any foreign power ; and where
as, on the 15th inst., the President of the Uni
j ted States, in plain violation of the Constitu
tion, issued a proclamation calling for a force
of S l . venly five thousand men, to the laws
of the United States to be duly executed over
j a people who are no longer a part of the Union,
I and in said proclamation threatens to exert this
j unusual force to compel obedience to his man
; dates ; and whereas, the General Assembly of
! V irginia, by a majority approaching to entire
| unanimity, declared at its last session that the
| State oi V irginia would consider such an exer
j tion of force as a virtual declaration of war, to
i be resisted by all the power at the command ol
I V irginia , and, subsequently, the Convention
i now :n session, representing the sovereignty of
this State, has re-affirmed in substance the same
; policy, with almost equal unanimity ; and,
: whereas, the State of Virginia deeply' sympa-
J thizes with the Southern S'ates in the wrongs
they liave suffered, and in the position thev have
assumed ; and having made earnest "efTirls
peaceably to compose the differences which
have severed the Uoiun, and havinc- failed in
that atlempt, through this unwarranted acton
iti e part of the President; and it is believed
that the influences which operated to produce
this proclamation against the Seceded States,
w ill be brought lo bear upon this Common
wealth, if she should exercise her undoubted
right (o resume the powers granted by her peo
pie, and it is due to the honor of Virginia that
| an improper exercise of force against %er peo
ple should be repelled : Therefore, I, John
Letcher, Governor of the Commonwealth of
V irginia, have thought proper to order all arm
ed volunteer regiments or companies within
this State forthwith to hold themselves in read
iness for immediate orders, and upon the recep
tion of this proclamation to report to the Ad
jutant-General of the State their organization
I and numbers, and prepare themselves for effi
cient service. Such companies as are not arm
ed and equipped will report that I act, that they
may be properly supplied.
