Our Position.
In revolutionary times like these, it Be
comea us to say but little, and to say that
little plainly. And as a skillful General, in
taking his position, must consider thesur-
positions which may be taken
against him, so do we.
first, then, we deny in to-to the- right
ot a State to secede from the Union: and
a a State may revolutionize as
well as the whole of it. .Consequently
there is no more reason for\he West to
lollow tjie Last into revolution than there
is for the Last to follow the example of
the West in her loyalty. We are equals,
and because Eastern Virginia : chooses to i
commit treason, it is no reason why Wes
tern Yirginiashould do the same. ' A re
nunciation of allegiance to the General
Government while occupying territory
over which its jurisdiction extends is trea
son j because its authority cannot be sub
verted except by force, or the overt act of
war; and treason cannot be legalized!by
the numbers of traitors. The hue mid
cry that we must be Virginians, and that
as Virginia goes so must we go, is but
another trick, got up to order for the pur
pose of hitching .Virginia to a Southern
Confederacy. Wo ask, in all candor, who
has a better right to the honor (if honor
it now be) of the title “ Virginians,’' than
those of her sons who are loyal to all their
constitutional obligations? We are citi
zens of Virginia, and owe allegiance to
\the State Government, so far as its au
thority is exercised in accordance with the
Constitution of the United States;
and we are at the same time citizens of
the United States, and owe allegiance to
the General Government so far as its au
thority is constitutionally exercised. A
secession ordinance is extra constitutional,
and. consequently void. We who.remain
loyal to both are still Virginians; while
those who prove false to either, 1 forfeit
both their security and their Honor.
Second. The Virginia Convention
does not possess any sovereignity in re
spect to the powers constitutionally he-
Jongtog to the Federal Government; be-
[independent in bvertthivo.]
ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1861.
cause that portion of sovereignity has been
■surrendered and cannot be resumed but
by an amendment of the Constitution
i berefore, 80 ar 33 secefis > on »s concerned,
the Convention is to all intents and pur
purposes, a revolutionary body, and con
sequently cannot bind those who choose
not to be bound by it.
Third. We have said thafwe do not
beheve the state of Virginia can pass
through this crisis undivided, as to this
act of secession. We still say so. And
why ? Simply because we arc sure the
-Hast intends to revolutionize. Then we
say to the West, let, her stand fast in her
moorings; and then if any one is disloyal
to the State, it will be those who attempt
to tear down her flag, which is the “ Star
bpangled Banner"— the flag of our com
mon country It matters nothing that
the Capitol of the State is in the hands of
rebels, or that the State officers have left
, us ; maintain our integrity, and
let the loyal citizens of the State sustain
our State authorities in all their Constitu
tional functions, and the Eederal Govern
ment in all theirs; standing true to the
fatato and true to the Union.
Our opponents cry, “Peace!
eacc; Oh, Peace! Heavens sweetest
boon to man ! The song the angels sung !
J-ct us be united, that no civil strife may
occur among ourselves." But when we
inquire of them on what terms we
to have peace, the only reply is, on the
terms of an unconditional surrender of all
our rights of equality and sovereignitv, in
cluding the privilege of an open an candid
expression of our opinions; for we are al
ready threatened with gag Jaw. We arc
sometimes called submissionist, but the
slave who will tamely submit to such usuf
patiou, wrong and outrage as this, is made
01 mote pliable materials than those which
enter into our composition. And if these
are the terms on which peace is to be pre
served, we accept the issue, and in the
language of the immortal Henry, we ap
peal to Western Virginians; “is.lileso
dear, or peace so sweet, as to bo purchased
at the cost of chains and slavery We
are for peace, but not to the sacrifice of
every interest of our section, and every
bCart ° f ° frCe

A Revolutionary Incident.
One of the most thrilling reminiscehses
m the American Revolution is related of
General Peter Muhlenburg, whose ashes
repose in the burying ground of" The
Old Irappe Church," in Montgomery
county, Virginia. When the War broke
out, Muhlenburg was rector of a Protes
tant; Episcopal Church in Dunmore coun
v y i r- ,nia - a Sunday mornin'* he
administered the cqmmumon of the Lord’s
Supper to his charge, stating that in the
afternoon ot that day ho would preach a
sermon on "The duties men owe to their
country. At the appointed time the
building was crowded with anxious listen
ers. Iho discourse, if we remember cor
rectly, was founded on a text from Solo
mon There is a time for every purpose
and for every work." The sermon burn
ed with patriotic fire; every sentence and
intonation told the speaker’s deep earnesl
ness in what he was saying. Pausin'* a
moment at the close of his discourse,°ha
repeated the words of his text, and then,
in tones of thunder, exclaimed : " The
time to preach is past; the time to eight
and ,. suiting the action to tbc
word, he throw irom his shoulders his
episcopal robes and stood before his con
gregalion-in military uniform. Drum
ming for recruits was commenced on the
spot, aud it is said that almost every male 1
of suitable, age in the congregation enlis

warming toward the representative of the
biavo Massachusetts militia who had so'
promptly answered the call of their conn

The soldier hesitated a moment, .and
finally racing one of his feet, exhibited a
boot with a hole in tjie toe, and generally
worse for wear. ■
“ How came you here with such boots
as those, my friend,” asked the patriotic
citizen.
“ When the order came for me to join
my company, sir,” replied the soldier, “ I
was ploughing in.the same field at Con
cord where my grandfather was ploughing
when the British fired on the .jjlassachu
setts men at Lexington. He did not wait
a moment; and I did not sir.”
It is unnecessary to add that the soldier
Tras immediately supplied with an excel
lent pair of boots.—A'. Y. Post.

Constant Employment —The man
who is obliged to bo constantly employed
to the necessaries of life aqd support
the happiness ho
for when hedesires wealth and idle
ness. To bo constantly busy is to' be al
ways happy. Persons who have suddenly
acquired wealth, broken up their active
pursuits, and burii to live at their ease
WMte away and die in a ivory short time!
Thousands would have been blessings to
theL world, and added to the common stock
of happiness, if they had been content to
remain in an humble sphere, and earned
food: that nourished
fhejr bodies. But,;no.; fashion and wealth
took possession of them, and they were
couiple.cly ruined. . They ran away from
peace and pleasure,; embracing a lingering
dea h y e who are sighing for the°pomp
andj pleasures of life, bcwkre 1 You know
[ not: what you wish. No situation, how
evey exalted; no wealth, however magnifi-
no honor, however glorious, can
yield you solid enjoyment while discon
tent lurks m your bosom. The secret of
happiness dies in this—to be always con
tented with your lot, and never sigh for
the spkndor of riches, or the magnificence
of fashion and ,powor. Persons who are
always busy and go cheerfully to their
daily tasks, arc the least disturbed by the
DiiNG in Indian Fide.—The captain
elect of a military company at Vicksbur-
Mississippi, m returning his thanks for
the honor conferred; upon him, pledged
himself to rush into the thickest of the
hght, and either glory'for the
company, or die in tlje attempt. The first
lieutenant pledged himself to be immedi
ately behind the captain, and if he fell, to
endeavor worthily to! fill his i place. The
second lieutenant followed in a similar
strain, and declared that when the first
lieutenant should fiil{, he would lead them
to glory or death. The third lieutenant
iras tIiLU-oalhd out. ■ He said that when
the captain, first lieutenant and second
lieutenant should be killed, under such
circumstances, he didn’t think it would be
prudent to lead the soldiers further, and
he should then orders retrioat!
Fashionable Extravagance. —A
large portion o 1 those who complain of
hard times are such as hare gone beyond
their means, and run-in debt to keep nn
appearances. We have known families
that were poor, and found it hard work to
supply their necessary wants, run in debt
tor mourning garments for all the family,
when a relative died-f-not because a dole
ful, horrible Wack fcess was necessary,
but because it was Jfas&ioncaie on such,
occasions. When people hound. their do
sires by their real wants, very many will
Jive much cheaper than they do now, and
be free from tbs harassing l cores that es*
tratag&nce* would hjajg upon them.
