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

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. ' Wl MUST

* * * •* *-■*-*■*
“ Tho first thing to do in the Union is to endea
vor to lndoetrinato all parties in onr 'midst with
these constitutional views.. 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.

It is due Mr. Yahcet to say, that during
his late visit in the North, he to6k bock some
of these declarations; but, in .older to show
how sincerely he entertains them, it is only
necessary to state that in a speech, a few days
ago, at his own home in Alabama, he substan
tially avowed himself in fkvor of secession on
account of the election of Mr. Lincoln.
; Bnt there is still another cltss of extreme
men, who, while professlng a desire to remain
In the Union, demand of the tree States cer
tain important concessions. 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

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' for United States Senator
from California, to fill tho vacancy-created
by the expiration of tho term of Dr. Gwin.
« This would indeed be a fitting measure of,
retribution.” While we htivo no right or
desire to Interfere in tho arrangements of
our Mends in the Golden State, it gives
us pleasure to givo our tribute to the courage,
consistency, and unselfishness with which Hr.
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. Will he aot on bis own
platform, or let his party dlotato to hlm-tor rather
the ultra wing of hu party ?

the House. In Van Wyck’s district, the majority
against St. John is only 15, whioh, the latter olaims,
can be considerably overcome by errors among the

that the House will decide in their favor.

not in thoory. ‘
“If Mr. Lincoln should go on Tyler’s principle
of referring to his former speeohes, and seleoc a
conservative Cabinet, he may bring peace and
quiet to the now-disturbed country, ana build Up
a large conservative party—perhaps resurrect the
old Whig party. We will hope for the best.
Everything is quiet here, though Ohio and Canada

effect which immediate seoesslon would have upon
the interests of Virginia and her oitlzens, the
Biohmond Examiner says:
“ Let Virginia so into counsel with the other
slave States , assuring them of her fixed determi
nation to have seourity for their common property
and rights. either within or without a Confederacy
of the States of North America, and there will be
no war. There wilt be no ruinous revulsion in
trade. The present Confederacy will be made one
under which all oan live honorably, peacefully,
and eafoly. Or, if that cannot he attained, there
wiil be trade more profitable for the South with
the whole world, including the Northern States.
There is no necessity for peoaniary;suffering, if
those most interested wilt but seek, by manly and
decisive counsels and aotionj to prevent the evil of
segregated action producing tne only danger we
now see of such a separation as must oooasion an
interruption of trade between the sections, There is
no reason for a fall in stocks or a suspension of cre
dits, or a depreciation in money, except the uncer
tainty and danger produoed by Virginia and ether
northern slaveEoldtng States allowing this matter
of protecting property against a sectional Govern
ment to be entirely managed by a few States - A

oause a more reliable one, to the whole cocntry.
The only method of producing disturbance or
serious injury to private fortunes in this State
ts for Virginia to hold aloof and leave the
States farther South to manage this affair
alone.”
The followingembodiss the Louisville De
mocrat's idea of the selfishness that characterizes
the SeoeEßioniatsin their mad attempts to dissolve
the Union:
The ohicf captains in this secession movement
have reasons more substantial. The politicians
think they oan be more-in a Southern Confederacy
than they oan bo in the Union. Others think their
seaport towns will be the great marts of trade
whfoh now goes principally to Northern ports.
They think stave labor can he had cheaper, while
the price of their great staple will he enhanced.
They dream of getting Mexico and Cuba, and Cen
tral Amorioa, and building up & great Southern
Confederacy. They have dwelt on the prospect
until It is quite enohanting. These border slave
States aro to play a secondary part in this grand
achievement, and take care of themselves as best
they oan, whilst South Carolina politicians are glo
rified to the full measure of their conceit. Charles
ton is to be the New York of tho South, and Louis
tville is to be a little frontier town, exposed to ell
the evils of suoh & loo&lity. Kentucky is to be
subservient to the ambition of South Carolina, and
play second fiddle to tho whole movement. Lot
the border States, then, take oare of themselves,
for their interests will not be considered by the
extremes.

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.

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.
As your letter is- of a public character, and as
the people of this State may feel some interest in
your views, I have thought It advisable to publish
it, Booompanicd with my reply* A number of the
Enquirer <sQn\fi\TA*g the correspondence will be
sent to your address. -. Respectfully,
, o r> ~ JOHN LETCHER.

of old masters and other pictures. His name was
not dlsoloscd, save in oonfidtnoe to his agent, but
he beoame a decided favorite with the artists who
hived in that building, and with others of the up
town clique. Having disposed of all his pictures,
he departed one fine day with a largo amount of
cash and the esteem of a large olrolo of wondering
friends, who, in fpito of all their endeavors, ware
unable to find out his name. And it was not until
a fow weeks since that it beoame known that his
name is Be Rohan, a captain in the army under
Garibaldi—of whom he is a devoted friend, a con
stant companion, and at the time above referred
to, an Bgent for the solo of his pioturcs.— Neta

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 oase arises from
one of the old Frenoh grants, upon which Congress
has made an appropriation, and includes the ees
sion of between fifty and a hundred thousand acres
of land lying on the Michigan side of the Scut St.
Mario, a tract which- contains the Saut cabal, the
village of St. Mario, the Saut railroad, and nume
rous Improvements in the way of farming, build
ing, Ao. The traot extends sixteen miles on the
Saut river, and the same distance wostwaid. 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. The value of the traot is
something fabulous, as tho public works and pri
vate improvements have ennanoed it immensely.
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. Monsieur Fa
vargey, a French gentleman, resident at Guada
