Baa admtliaaiaat, The Union—lt Must he Preserved. Upon the permanent ailjaiitment bl, the pre sent differences Northern and Bonthern sections of thia coUntry, may depend the failure or free government. reposing as it does entirely on putrilc opinion, be main tained? That is the question. Wo believe it can be maintained. But it is in vain to deny the fact that before we can establish it upon enduing foundations, we may be called upon to pacs thrCugli a fiery, if not a fatal, ordeal. In approaching this question, wo Bhould leave behind us all prejudice and passion, and bury in oblivion, if possible, all sectional prefer, ences. The first obstacle in the way of such a settlement is, confessedly, the assnmed right of a. State’ to secede from the, Union; and secondly, the alleged absence of powerto com pel the return of such a State into the Union. If this thing is insisted upon, there is, in our opinion, an end to that glorious bond that now connects thirty.ihree States, and consti tutes them a mighty empire. The Southern people ace divided into two classes, one ol which Insists upon the right of Secession, and the other, while entirely denying the existence of snch a right, at the same time protests against tho employment of force to compel the return of a seceding State. With few exceptions, we think the great body of the Southern statesmen may be said to unite upon one or the other ; ot these propositions. It is not onr purpose to disenss the logic of the assumption that denies the right of a State to secede, and' at the same time re fuses to the General Government the power to compel such a State to remain in, or to re turn to the Union. Wo can see bnt little difference between the two propositions; for if the right to secede, does not exist, then, un questionably, the right on the part ot the Federal Government to compel the return of any seceding State must exist; and we frankly admit that tho employment of anus against a seceding State may produce fearful conse quences. ' In the midst; of the doubts everywhere ex cited by. this condition of things, wise and pa triotic men daily ask each other,'what is to be ..done to save tho Union from .division and to protect the Constitution from annihilation? Many ofthe Disunion leaders of the South will accept of no'terms. They look to separation as essential to their future prosperity. They laugh at the idea that Hr. Luicolh’s election is the leading cause of their preparations. The Charleston Mercury halls' it as a fortu nate accident, inasmuch as it . enables these men to cany into exeention the projects and plans they have cherished and entertained. The magazine has long been waiting, and the 'Mercury regards Hr. Lraoom’s election as the spark that is to explode the magazine. Tho language of Hr. McGowan, a member of the House of Representative's of South Carolina, on the 9th. of November, is the. key to tho en tire aonspiracy of tho Mercury and its con federates.. We copy: “ We have long been satisfied as to. the causes of dissolution. Wa avail oubsxlvxs or inn occa sion of Lixcolx's motion, but. it is not with US THE QNLT CAUSE OX COMPLAINT, Wx HATE EX hainxd in ran .Union fob the .puefobx or ox- TAixixa the co-operation or our Southern sta ins—to ABBANOX THB TIHB WHEN AND TBI BAN NEB HOW, AND 808 NOTHING ELBE.!’ .. And in order- to show how skilfully the whole plot now revealed to the country was arranged, we present the following memorable extract from the great speech of Hon. Wil liam L. Yanoxt, prior to the Democratic Na. tional Convention at Charleston: ; “If w.s remain in the Union, toe must demand a repeal of every unconatitutiuu.il aec agonist the 'inetiiutton of slavery. Wx must dxhand a re peal OF TBI ACTS OF 1807,1819,1861.

The great power in the South is the .Demooratio party, and it is of the highest- importance that the South should have that party ita ally In this contest. “To obUln the aid of ths Democracy in this contact, it ar necessary to mate 'a contest in its Charleston ■ Convention. Ia that body,' Douglas’ adherents wlHnraas his doe trine to a decision. If tho State-Bights msb keep out of that Conven tion,-that-deomen meet inevitably be against.

If, however, a Black Repnblloan should not bo eleot ed, then, is pursuance of the pol|ey of making this oontSot within tho Union, toe should initiate mea sures, in Congress t which should lead to a repeal of all the unconstitutional acts against slavery.

Froinfthls class proceeds the suggestion of a grand National Convention, to. which representatives from all the States of the Union.are to. be .elected, for the purpose of re-constructing the Constitu tion, and of offering hew guarantees to the Bouth.. The Richmond Enquirer may be called the orgau_of this school hi politicians, and here is the programme upon which it proposes to establish peace, and cement the Union for all time to come'. We copy from a late number of .that journal: ’ 11 Wewoald so neat that the preyentlre reoom xaeaded i< aUogeUief Inadequate for efficient pro rentlon.Mr.Ltaoota la little more than a cipher in tha present aaaonnt.. Ha la a mare exponent, whosemgaiSeaneeie dee not to hi! personal or offi cial oondact, bat tha attendant unit figure which precedes. ,Xfaa signifiosnl fact which menaces the. Sonth is. not that AbeMnoota la elected President, hat that the Northern people, by a Sectional rota, hare alaeted a President for tha arowtd purpose of agciestioa on Southern rights. The purpose of aggression bae been declared by this a declaration ofwar. Tha war la made, and Hr. Llneolnis im potent to command a peace—what then ? Stall as is ranee of peace mest be fine from wm oompb tent quarter, or the Sonthern Btatee most choose between; subjeotion aad reelstanoa. Let each Northern Stale, through her Legislature or in Con rentlon, assemble, promptly, repeal all nullifying laws pasted for the Injury of the oonltitntional rights of tbs Sonth; pass laws to secure the e»y end prompt execution of tha fngltire-slsTe law; pan other lawl imporlug adequate pinaltles on all malefactor! who ihell bereofter assist or encenrego tho escape of fugitive slaves; pass other laws de claring and promoting the right of .slaveholders to travel and sojourn in Northern States, accom panied by their slaves: instruct their Senators and Representative* in Congress to repeal thslaw prohibiting the sale ot alavea in the Diatrlct of Co lombia, and to pass laws sufficient for the fall pro teetlon of elavs property In ell tho Territories of the Union, and Ist those Senators aad Representa tives promptly obey auchtastructtons.” The common sense of this proposition'is simply, that while, of the five motions of rotas thrown in the late election, less than a million voted'for Joint 0. Breckihbiixie, the candidate of the Enquirer, and its Disunion allies, that paper suggests that the men who supported Breckinexdqe should control the four millions who votedagainstbim. In other words, theywill aUow to be Pre-' sldent npon a They con descendingly peimit the Govemmept to go on IT the head of tS&JGhtfsTnment shill yield to their nnjast demiui : <te,f a new way.of treating an election; VfW®fe.h*4 never been held.*' If the EngiiftrJ'bhi. recommended that Mr. ; rLiacoiw' should giro-way to. Mr. Baiqßi**nw*, it; wonld have, been a more graceful piethOdojE pnUing the same proposi tloiu-' There Is a fonhldable organization in the. Southern States, however, in favor of the Union. The men composing it are deter mined to ding to that Union whatever may betide.. The immense majority thrown against Breckinridge by those who supported Bell and Douolas in the slave States, shows tho strength of the organization, and its ability to cope with those who are bent upon secession and disunion. Those citizens moke no such demands upon the North as does tho Rich mond Enquirer . They deny the right of se cession, and indulge in the strongest denun ciations of the-Disunion leaders. It is to this class of our fellow-countrymen that the eyes ofthe whole nation are turned. Upon their strength or their weakness, the preservation or the ruin of the Republic depends. What course shall the people of tho free States pursue in this emergency ? There are to be found in these States many who are as intolerant and unjust in their denunciations of the South as the Enquirer and the Mercury are in their exactions upon the North. But here, as in the slave States, there is au over, whelming middle majority, who, like their brethren in the other section, will insist upon the preservation of the Union. These citi zens are Democrats, -Republicans, and Ameri cans—men who voted for Douolas, Breckin ridge, Lincoln, and Bell —men who look upon the present excitement in the South with the greatest solicitude, and who will bo glad to make any honorable sacrifices for the pur pose of defeating the plans oi the factionists and fanatics. From the speech of Senator Trumbull, de livered at Springfield, 111., on Tuesday, even ing last, which we republish in The Press of this morning, as a semi-official exposition of the views of Mr. Lincoln himself, we are glad to believe that tho President elect heartily sympathizes with the conservative sentiment to which we allude. In view of all these indications, are we not justified in saying that there is a practical way oi perpetuating free institutions, and of overthrowing the enemies of these institu tions? The elements are at hand, and all that is necessary to combine and organize them is firmness among the leading friends of the Union—whatever their party relations may have been in days gone by. In the first place, let tho new Legislatures of the States in which laws have been passed ob structing the execution of that clause of the Federal Constitution providing for the rendi tion ot fugitives from justice and labor, pro coed to repeal those laws at the earliest pos sible moment. Steps have already been taken to effect this object. Even in Vermont, the movement has been made to erase from her statute-book one of these obstructive laws, -and the Boston Journal, a leading Repub lican paper, has demanded that the personal liberty bill of Massachusetts should bo ab rogated. TYe cannot donbt that thl3 will be found to be the sentiment of a large majority of tho Republican or Opposition party in Pennsylvania, and we think that not a single newspaper in this city will take issue with our new Governor, Col.'A. G. Cumin, if he, in his forthcoming message, should ask tho Lo gislaturo to repeal the eelebrated act of 1847, refusing the use of our jails in the event of a capture of a fugitive slave. These may be regarded as wholesome signs—particularly since the late manifesto from Springfield, Illinois. Let the promises (hey hold out be manfully fulfilled. And what other concession, if concession it ’may'be called, can the Republican party and the Northern people make to the South? This question is probably best answered by the following extract from the Philadelphia Eorlh American, ot yesterday: “ So far as wo oan at present goo, ihe Republi can party will not deem it necessary to ask for the Incorporation into these bills of any slavery-pro hibitions, trusting lo the foroo of oircumstshoeß to secure the future of the new States. This is the platform of both the new Senators from Oregon, and of many influential Republicans in all parts of the free States. The Oinoiunatl Commercial, for instance, a leading party paper in the West, says: “ ‘Congressional legislation for the protootion or .prohibition of slavery in the Territories is hardly among the possibilities cl the fntnre. The idea of protecting slave property in the Territories by aot of Congress is an absurd abstraction. The idea of prohibiting slavery in the Territories by an aot of Congress is obsolete. The people of the Territories will determine the question of slavery for them .salves, and Congress will admit new States without reference to slavery,. In a few months these pro positions will be almost universally reoognized as fixed facta.’ “ Legislation on this basis would have more in* fluenoe in - restoring the confidence of. the South than, anything; else whioh could bo done. It has t>een settled effeetuatly that with a fair field the future of the now Territories is clear enough- No action of the South or of the General Government out make it otherwise, and hence the recognition of Southern equality ought to be conoedod.” Here we'havo the doctrine of uon-interven llon, for which tho Douglas Democracy con tended throughout the entire campaign just closed, frankly accepted as the only prac tical way of permanently adjusting the ques tion. of .slavery in tho Territories of tho United States. Lot us convince our Southern follow-citizens that we intend, in good faith, to abide by that mode of settlement, and there can’bo no just causa ot complaint from any one of them. Non-intervention has been offered by the South to the North, on repeat ed occasions, as a basis npon which all tronble and dissension between the two sections of the Union will be enduringly reconciled. Mr. Yancey, a few years ago, before it became profitable to elevate slavery into a Divine in stitution, was a strong non-interventionist, and there is not a leading Dlsuniontat now living who, at one or another period of his experi ence, has not advocated non-intervention as the theory upon which a Constitutional Union might be conducted and preserved. Wo think Mr. Lincoln’s Administration will gladly yield to tho pressure from all parties in favor oi this doctrine, and we be lieve that the-Union men in the South wltf receive it with unanimity and gratitude. Hero, now, is a remedy upon which the Union of these States may, in our opinion, he preserved and perpetuated. It is all that the South should ask and that the North should concede. James Buchanan . and Abraham Lin' The authentic intelligence from Springfield, the residence of Abraham Lincoln, and the rumored intelligence thorn 'Washington, the residence of. James Buchahah, which we pnb lish this morning, will send a joyfnl thrill to the heart of every true friend of tho American Union. We are now left in little doubt as to the policy of Hr. Lincoln during his Admi nistration, and we aro led te boliovo, and to hope, that the balance of James Buobanan’s will be dedicated to the preservation of that Kephblie which he and his advisers have done so much to destroy. Taking both for sincere, we thank the President elect, and stand ready to forgive tho President incumbent. Should it be trne that the latter has at. last allowed his obligations to the Constitution and to the. Union to prevail against the bold and reckless men who have heretofore controlled him to Disu nion, it will make the path easy to his succes sor, and will tally compensate for all his past sins o t omission and commission. Wo are not oi those .who believe that no good can come jrom Nazareth. It would be incredible if, in tho forefront ot tho public peril, James Bu chanan wonld not see his duty and perform it, and, therefore, if,, as the New York Herald ot yesterday assures, us, he is resolved to plant himself upon the Jackson ground; and to deny to tho enemies of tho Union the right to break it np because a citizen of tbe United States has been duly elected to the Presiden cy, we will bo among the first to do him honor. New Senator from California. We are happy to notice that the North Ame rican, of Monday, suggests the name of Hon. J. C.

McKibbin sustained himself during his Con-, gresstonal term, in supporting tho doctrines espoused by Mr. Dooolas, and in opposing the corruptions and proscriptions of the Fede ral Administration. Other men might have yielded to the importunities of power, and Mr. McKibbin was peculiarly situated, and could probably have justified himself in favor ing the policy of the Administration; bnt from first to last, without faltering or flinching, be was found on tho side of the right, making many terriblo sacrifices on account ot his fear less course. Now that Broderick has been removed, wby should not California send his next and. devoted friend to the Senate, as the snccessor of one who wiUbe displaced be cause of his ready acquiescence in all the mis deeds of Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet? THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1860. By this time,' ‘nOP'dpubt, Italy is liberated. Victor Emmanuel in, Naples and the fugitive Bourbon at Gaeta,.wltb’ only tho remains of a thrice-beaten army,; of which 80,000 wore killed, wounded, ot runaways in a single week, make such a crisis as can have but a single ending. Bohbalina has one thing more to do—to quit the country_that he did not know how to govern. Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel have had a friendly meeting. It was impossible that the fortunate Monarch could seriously have any unkind tooling towards tho gallant man—the modern Batard —who has added Naples and Sicily to his realm. Garidaldi intimated that, his battles done, he would return to his island-home in tho Mediterranean for the win ter, and make a descent on Hungary in tho spring. It js scarcely probable that Victor Emmanuel will permit Garibaldi tQ retire from command. His proper station is at tho head of tho Italian army. Much has to he done for tho organization oi the new Kingdom of Italy. Of course, there would be much pride in oneo again having Rome os the capital. Bnt, as a residence, Rome is unpleasant and unhealthy during se veral months in each year, and the adjacent Oampagaa,' onoo so fruitful, is now a desolate swamp, producing nothing bnt malaria. Turin, Florence, Milan, and Naples ore great cities, favorably situated each of them, which may rospectively claim to be the seat of Italian Government. We suppose that the federation system will be adopted, in some de greo, in the future organization of Italy, and tho Parliament might hold its session, as was the practice in Poland, alternately in the leading cities. This plan would probably sa tisfy the Italian cities, which have hitherto had so much jealousy of each other. Is the President Elect in favor of One of the moat absnrd of all tho charges raised against Mr. Lincoln is that he favors negro equality, and is pledged to a war upon the institutions of the South. That highly conservative Democratic Union paper, the Louisville Democrat, of the loth of Novem ber, reproduces the following extracts from Mr. Lincoln’s speeches in 1868: While I was at the hotel to-day, an elder y gen tleman oalled upon mo to know whether I was really m favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. Whilo X had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subjeot, yet, as the question was asked me, I thought I would oooupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it I will then say that lam not, nOr ever have been , in favor of bringing about , in any way, the so cial and political equality of the white and blade races; that lam not, nor ever have been, m favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say, in addition to this, that there la a pbyaloal difference between the white and black races whioh 1 believe will forever forbid the two raoea living together on terms of sooial and political equality. And, inasmuoh as they oannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of suporior and Inferior, and 1, as much as any-other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. — Lincoln's Speech, Sept- 18,1858. Here he gives his views of slavery in general and ot alaveholdera: Before proceeding, let me say that I think I have no prejudice against the Southern people. They are what we wonld be in their situation. If slavery did not now exist among them, they wonld not now introdnoo it. If it did now exist among us, we Bhould not Instantly give it up. This I be lieve of tho masses North orSouth. Doubtless there are individuals on both sides who wonld not hold slavery under any circumstances, and others who would gladly Introdnoe slavery anew if it were out of existence 1 . We know that some South ern men do free their slaves, go North, and beoomo tip-top Abolitionists; while some Northern ones go South and become most cruel slave masters. When Southern people tell us they are no moro responsible for the origin of slavery than we, I ae knowledge the fact. When it ia said that the insti tution exists, and that it is very difficult to get rid of it in any eatisfaotory way, I oan understand and appreciate the Saying. I surely will not blame them for not doing what I should not know how to do myself. 2fall earthly power were given me, I should not know- what to do as to the 'existing institution. My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia —to their own native land. Bnt a moment’s reflec tion would convlnoe me that, whatever of high hope (as I think there is) tbero may be in title, in tho long .ran, its sadden exeoution is impossible. If they were all landed there In a day, they would all perish in the next ten days; and theta are not snrpins shipping and sur plus money enough in the world to carry them there in ipany times ten day s. What then '! Free them all, ana keep them among ns as nnderlisgs ? Is it quits osrtain that this hatters their condition ? I think I would not hold one in aiavory at any rate; yet the point is not clear enough to ms to denounce peopfenpon. Whatnext? Free Hum, and make them-politlcally and socially our equals ? My o;on feedings will not admit of this ; and if mine would, it is well known that those of the great mass -of the White people will not. - Whether thie feeling accords with justice and sound judg ment Is not the sole question, if, Indeed, it is any part of it. A universal feeliag, whether ill or well founded, cannot he safely disregarded. We oannot then make them equals. It does seem to me that systems of gradual emancipation might be adopted; but for their tardiness in this, I will not undertake to judge our brethren of tho South. When they remind ns of their constitutional rights, Xacknowledge them, not grudgingly, bnt fully and fairly; and I would give them any legislation for the reclaiming of taetr fugitives, whioh sbould-not, in Ua stringency, be more likely to oarry a free man Into elavery than onr ordina ry criminal laws aro to hang an innocent men.- Lincoln's Speech, Sept 18, 1853. Upon these extracts the Democrat com ments as follows: ' This is moderate language. Llnooln'is opposed to the extension of elavery to onr Territories. That seems to be the main idea with him, and he has a vagne notion that, by some proooss or other, slavery will come lo an end; that the agitation will not cease until the pablio mind shall rest in the belief that it will end. He, however, spurns the idea of negro equality; stands by ths laws in imposing disabilities on the negro race in his own State; maintains the saponorlty of the white race, and admlla that the South is entitled under the Oonelimtion to a fugitive-slave law, and to its elo cution; and disolalms all intention to interfere with slavery in the States.

The Richmond Enquirer, of Wednesday, pub [shea the following: _ • Centre Democrat Office, ) IiKLLXFONTS, CbNTKB COUNTY. PSNNA.i> November 16th,,1830. » Governor John of Virginia: Dear Sir : The present position of South Caro lina, and the sympathy manifested for her by many of the Southern States, is to somo a matter of m? us i I azeD£ “~ to others a matter of alarm. The disunion sentiment, whioh has been grow- J 1 i ". thi3 country Binoethonullifloation oi 100.1, has at length assumed huge proportions, and, in my opinion, this spirit of rebellion should now be oraehfed, and effectually crushed. If we are to have disunion, let it oome now; we will nevor be better able to grapple wiih the mon ster than at the present hoar. The rapid growth of ideas and sentiments in this country renders delays dangerous to the stability of our Government and the welfare of our people. If we wish to orash an obnoxious doctrine, we must do it at once, or it will grow to bo formidable, and utterly distract the peaoe and harmony of our Go vernment. Polygamy is an example of this faot. Twenty years ago, and tho man who dared to mouth disunion was looked upon askance, and shunned by his fellow citizens as a traitor; nowit is in the mouth of millions; and men, to gaping multitudes, and in our market-places, every day boast themselves diaunlonists. The South will never be satisfied until she has attempted to sepa {hose States—sooney or later that test ef the stability of our Government must come, and the sooner the better. I would rather have this dan- P than in the futuro. Twenty-eight millions of freemen in the North are ready to meet disunion now, and oru/h it as the strong man orushes an egg-shell in k*s hand. States cannot reserve the tight to sooede. They aro the oommon property of the Government Texas cost us many millions of dollars, and shall Texas now be permitted to walk out of the Union with those millions of onr money? Suppose wo pay two hundred millions for Cuba one day, shall we permit her to go out of the Union the next with those two hundred millions? This dootrine of the reserved right of States to seoede is preposterous. The people of the North will never peaceably submit to tne stoession of the South. If the worst comes to the worst, let brother go to war with bro ther, and let the stronger party take possession of the whole Government. We must have no South ern Confederacy, no Northern Republic, but a Union of “ many in one.’* Two hundred of your Virginians have tendered me their command in the event of disunion. lam at your service—l will march at a moment’s warn ing, and, if necessary, give my life for the mainte nance of the Constitution and the Union. I hold that the election of Abraham Lincoln is no just cause for secession. It is the result of our system of Government The majority of our peo ple have declared through the ballot-box that he is their oboioe, and the minority should acquiesce. I await your orders Believing you to bo a pure-minded statesman, and true lover of your country, I am, with senti ments of respect, truly yours. JAMES S.BRISBIW. I*lease answer. ~ , r , Richmond, Vo., Nov. 19,1660. bin : Yesterday morning I received your extra ordinary letter of the 15th instant. lam really at a loss to understand what good end you expooted to accomplish by the preparation and transmission of it to me. Tho country Is deeply Molted. Seotlonal feeline reigns supreme. 3he Union Is seriously threatened with disruption. Patriots and conservative men of all parties, East, West, N*rtb, and South,! are looking to the future, with fearful and alarming apprehensions. The prudent, considerate, reflect ing minds of the nation are engaged in laudable and noble efforts to allay the exoitemont; restore confidence and kind feeling, remove all irritating oauses of difference, and, if possible, save the Union from dissolution. It is at this time, and under such olroumstanoes, that you send me a let ter denunciatory of the motives and eonduot of a portion of the Southern people, and whlob, in its tone and spirit, is well oaloulated (I hope it was not so intended) to add fuel to a flame that is burning with sufficient intensity now. In your haste to assail your Southern fellow oltizens you seapi to have forgotten that your own State is, to some extent at least, responsible for the present alarming crisis in publio affairs. If lam not greatly mistaken. Pennsylvania is one of the eleven non-slaveholding States whioh have passed statutes, now in full foroe and effect, designed to obstruot the excoution of the fugitive-slave law. This is one of the grievances of whioh the Southern people have oomplained far years; and although earnest and respeotful appeals have been addressed to yon to remove this oause of irritation and com plaint, those appeals have passed unheeded. As a conservative man, who ardently desires the perpetuity of the Union, under the Constitution, I appeal to you', and to the conservative element of tne North, to arouse younelves at once, and ini tiate the proper measures to secure a repeal of those obnoxious laws. Booh action on the part of your Legislature will have a most happy influence in relieving the Southern mind, and restoring peace and quiet throughout our now fearfully ex cited oountry. The Booth asks only for the fair and faithful exe cution of the laws passed fof the recovery and pro tection of her property—that you will cease to embarrass and lend your aid to effeot their execu tion, according to their letter and spirit—that if her property shall escape, and be found In the non- Blavebolding States, you will see that it is promptly restored to the rightful owner. Surely there is patriotism enough Tn Pennsylvania, and the other non Blaveholding States, to grant what the law has declared to be our due, especially when the pre servation of the Union depends upon It. In oon olnding this branoh of tbe eubjeot, permit me to add, that if the North will respect and uphold the Tights of the States, the Union will beperpetual, our oountry will continue to grow in power and in fluence, the people of all seotions will have secured to them the blessings of peaco, quiet, and order, and a prosperity, such as has never been known or appreciated in our past history, will be the neces sary result. It will require prudenoe, wisdom, and patriot ism, to avert the evils now impending over our country. Crimination and inflammatory language can have no other effect than to exasperate and thuß precipitate a result that is already imminent. In this hour of danger to the Union, it Is the duty of patriots in all sections of our country to culti vate a kind, generous, and conciliatory spirit one towards another. Your letter, however, breathes nothing of this kind ; you taunt the Sooth with your superiority of numbers, and threaten to crush them by your fanoiod power. You assure me that “ two hundred” Virginians have agreed to plaoe themselves under your “oommand, in the event of dleuoion,” and that you &ro at my service,” and await my u orders.” Virginians owe allegiance to this Commonwealth, and I have too muoh respeot for my fellow-oltizens oi all parties to suppose that “two hundred” of them, in any part of the State, are willing to go to Pennsylvania for a commander , even if they had determined to aid in the ungracious work: of reducing a couthern sister State to the abjeot oondition of a conquered province of the Federal Government. All true Virginians will, lam sure, recognize their obligations to the State, and will hold themselves in readiness to respond to the oall of her constituted authorities. .We now have in Virginia duly and legally organized, eighty eight troops of o&valry, twenty-six companies of artillery, one hundred and nine oomp&nxei of in fantry, and one hundred and ten companies of riflemen, uniformed and well prepared for service. Think you, my dear sir, under these oircumstanees that any “ two hundred” men in Virginia would seriously propose to import a oommander from Pennsylvania? No! No! You have beea cruelly hoaxed by some wag, who desirod to playoff a good joke at your expense. You have no right to come into Virginia to raise troops for any purpose whatsoever, and I take the oocasion to say to you, In the kindest spirit ima ginable, that such a course will be taken at your peril. It is made my duty to see that the laws are executed, and in the oontlngenoy referred to, they will be executed to the letter. If you desire to march against a Southern State, for tho purpose mentioned in your letter, raise your troops at home, and present them to the sons of the South, as “food for gunpowder.” We have other and better uses for Virginians.

Important Land Suit in Michigan.—'The Detroit Free Press states that an important suit, involving the title to a large amount of property, Is to same before tho United Stateß District Court in Dotroit, at the next term.

The grant was made during the reign of Louis XIV., when the country was In the possession of the Frenoh, in favor of the Chevalier do Repontigrey. The descendants of this nobleman have Jatd claim to the property, and, after long-continued efforts, have succeeded in inducing Congress to recognize thoir right by a special a'ot, whiob| authorizes tho appointment of a commission to arbitrate on the valuo of the entire traot, including improvements, the aggregate valuo deoreed by these commission ers to bo awarded to the grantees in Government lands elsewhere located.

It Is the design of Government to interfere with none of tho rights of citizens residing or owning property in the dlsiriot, but to quietly assess the present value, and remunerate the grantees by the appropriation of unencumbered lands. This ar rangement was effected by compromise. The oase is to be brought before the United States Court for a confirmation of the title deeds, and other neoea sary legal formula. The grantee.
