"FeloiL -citizens of my native Stale.'
Let uic not only admoui.-h you, a tie
firtt maiitrate of our common country,
not to incur the penalty of its laws, but j
use the influence that a father would over
his children whom ho saw rushing to a
certain ruin. In tint paternal language,
with that paternal feelinc, let mc tell you, j
my countrymen, tint you are oeiuco'i :y
men who are either deceived l!iou:cel?cs
or
wih to deceive vou. Mark under
whst pretence?5 ou have been lcJ on to
tb brink of insurrection and treason on
-which you standi First, a diminution of
the taiue of our staple couimodily, low
ered by over-production in other quar
tern snd tho consequent diminution in
tbc value of your beds, were the sole ef
fect of the tariff laws. Tho effect of
those laws was confessedly injurious, but
the evil was greatly exaggerated by the
unfounded theory you were taught to be
lieve, that its burdens were in proportion
to your eiports, not to jour consumption
of imported utticles. Your pride was
roused by the a-s.-crtions that a submis
tion to these laws was a state of vassalage,
nnd that resistance to them was equal, in
patriotic merit, to the oppoMtion our fath-
ers ouprca io me opprensivc ias ui
Great Britain. You were told that this
opposition might be peaceably might bo ;
constitutionally made that you might
enjoy all the advantages of the Union
and none of its burdens. Eloquent ap- ,
peals to your passions, to your state
pride, to your native courage, to your
senc of real injury, were u-ed to prepare
joa for the period when the mask which
concealed tho hideous features of Di?u
nion should be taken off. It fell, and
you were made to look with comp'.ace-ncy
on objects which not long since you would
havo regarded with horror. Look back
to the acts which have brought you to
this state look forward to the conso
quenccs to which it mut inevitably lead!

They are not champions of liberty emu-
htin" the fame of our revolutionary fath
erp, nor are you an oppressed people, j
contending, as they repeat to you, agaiott
worse than colonial vassalage. You are
free members of a flourishing and happy
Union. There is no settled desigu to op
press you. You have, indeed, felt the
unequal operation of laws which have
been unwisely, not unoonstitutionally,
passed; but that inequality must necessari
ly be removed. At tho very moment
when you were madly urged ou to the
unfortunate course you hvo begun, a
change in public opinion has ooamenced.
The nearly approaching payment of the
publio debt, and tbo consequent necessity
of a diminution of dutie, had already
caused a considerable reduction, and that,
too, on some articles of general consump
tion in your state. Tbe importance of
this chaogo was underrated; and you
were authoritatively told that no further
alleviation of your burdens was to be ex
pected, at the very time when tho condi
tion of the country imperiously domand-
ed fuoh a modification of the duties as
should reduce them to a just and equila-!
b!c scale. But, as apprehensive of the j
effect of this change in allaying your dis
content, you were precipitated into the
fearful state in which you now find your?
solves.
"I have urged vou to look back to the
means that were used to hurry you on to uance of our uuezampled prosperity, oar

the execution of the laws, and they know
that such opposition must be repelled.

the threat of unhallowed disunion the
names of those, orce respected, by whom
it is uttered the array of military force
to support it denote the approach of a
crisis in our affairs on which the confin
bo proper. Having the fullest confidence
in the justness of the legal and constitu
tional opinion of my duties which has
been expressed, I rely with equal confi
dence on your undivided support in my
determination to execute the laws to
preserve the Union by all constitutional
means to arrest, if possible, by moder
ate but firm measures, the necessity of a
recourse to force; and, if it be the will of
Heaven that the recurrence of its prime
val curso on man for tho f bedding of a
brother's blood should fall upon our land,
that it bo not called down by any offen
sive act on the part of the United States.
Fellow citizcnsl the momentous oa6e is
before you. On your uudividod support
of your government depeuds the decision
of the great question it involves, whether
your sacred Union will be preserved, and
the blessing it secures to ua as ono people
shall bo perpetuated. No ono cau doubt
that the unanimity with which thatdecision
will be expressed, will be suoh as to in
spire new confidence in republican insti
tutions, aud that tbe prudence, tho wis
dom, and tho courage which it will bring
to their defence, will transmit them, un
impaired and invigorated, to our chil
dren. "May the Great Ruler of nations grant
that the signal blessings with which be
has favored ours may not, by tho madness
of party, or personal ambition, be disre
garded and lost, and may His wise provi
dence bring those who have produced this
crisis to see tho folly, before they feel the
misery, of civil strife, and inspire a re
turning veneration for that Union whioh,
if we may daro to ponctrato His'design?,
He hs chosen, as the only means of at

Affairs in Hew Orleans.
Tho Boston Traveler learns, from a
gentleman juet from New Orleans, some
particulars of the state of affairs in that
city:
'There is one regiment in New Orleans
composed entirely of colored men, inclu
ding slaves aa well aa froe blacks, the
Colonel of which is named Thomas Zaba
tut. The people in and about the city
havo no fear of insurrection, but in tho
interior of tho state there is, it is said,
some danger that tho blacks will rise.
,s0ur informant states that everything,
is changed in New Orleans. One would
never know by passing through the btreeta
that there was such a country as the Uni
States. Every sign,ovory name and ev
erything that ever pertained to our gov
government or the Union have been ob
literated. "Some of the men who are now io the
southern army have aaid, when question
ed as to their opinion of seoeoesBion, that
it was tho 'rankest treason.' A large
number of those who went from New Or
leans to Pensacola were at that time U
nion men. If will be remembered that
tbere were seven of tho convention that
did not sign the ordinance of secession.
Among this number was Edward "Rosier,
a lawyer who replied, when asked if ho
would not sign, bringing his clenched fist
upon the table, I will never sign that, so
help me God,' and yet that same man is
now in the army.
"Tbere is one larre .cotton merchant,
worth $300,000 who is now a private sol
dier, with one of his own clerks for cap-
ain of the company.
"Nine-tenths, it is said, of the men en
gaged in privateering are from the North.'
Change of Tune in Palmettodom.
Tbo Charleston (S. C.) Courier, in a re
cent issue, opens an editorial in tne tol-
owiog lugubrious strain :
"We should prepare for defeat.
In tho cofidenco of our might and cour-
nco, tnis

cciisnrv, and, ut

craceful behaviour of our enemies iu re-

each body is strengthened by the presence

their Generals have abilities and resour

siderations, battles aro not always deci
ded by strategy, or even courage. A sin
gle mieohanoe may turn tho tide of suc
cess. A oireumstancc, in itself insignifi

the moment it is about to grasp the glit

F. P. Vs. Pleet Footed Virginians.
The boast of aristocratic Virginians
that Pooabontas founded their families,
is but one among tbe bays around the
brows of the F. F. Vs. Tho F. F. V. has
a reputation not only great, but growing.
He is renowned for his affection for sher
ry coblers, snd his aversion to anything
calculated to induee either weariness or
perspiration. If all the world were F. F.
V s., the doom of labor upon man would
never have been fulfilled. Let him alone,
and the oasBimeres of the F. F. V. would
grow a crop of mushrooms, while two
small boys wduld be necessary to pull bis
mouth open whenever he wished to gap.
Since tbe F. F. Vs. have sbnl-cn off their
indolence and taken to fig t ting:, they show
that some things can be done as well a
others, and that when propelled by the
proper kind of fear, an F. F. V. possess
es an ability to get over nearly as much
ground in a given time as a dummy lo
comotive. For this reason, a poetical
friend suggests that the F. F. V.'s have
lately entitled themselves also to fresh
laurels as "Fleet Footed Virginians."
In their recent retreats, beginning at
Phlllippi and ending with tho last battle,
they have shown an ability to do up their
miles with a looseness only to be surpass
ed by F. F. Vs. when Pennsylvania bay
onets are perforating their coat tails.
Eye witnesses of these retreats inform us
that, the speed on these occasions, of the
Fleet Footed Vamosers, would have done
no discredit an equal numbor of board

etitutcd for large ones. The old clo' men
arc driven to despair. Garments whioh
would before have fallen into their hands
are reserved and worn until they are
ready for the rag-isen, who are propor
tionally well pleased. Boots and shoes.
Jin this warm woather, are voted a boro,
unless they are full of patent ventilators.
The great shoe trade is very much do
pressed here, the receipts and sales being
fall one hundred thousand cases loss than
to this time last year. The consumption
has decreased enormously. Somotbous-
lands of people must have had their old
shoes touched up by the oobblera, while
at the South as many must be going baro-
loot. The country may be pronouncod
"bare of shoes."
As to a supply of things Southern, wo
get along famously. All the Orient pro
duces rice, and is most happy to do the
chivalrous thing for us in that reBpect.
There is more cotton in New York
than iu nil the Southern porip put togeth
er, while the demand for that articlo in
Liverpool to-day is less than it was a
month ago. This is not what Davis k.
Go. ooanted on. With a small fnpply of
cotton has come a small domand for cal
ico. One balances the other, and makes
the supply a matter of much less import
ance than it was supposed it would bo.
What with tbo immense supplies which
the far-seeing capitalists of Lowell, Law
ronoo, &c., have got from the South, and
even from England, and the decreased
demand for calico, they can snap their
fingers at producers, for a couple of years.
As to sngar, we are in a fiao condition.
We have been payiog a heavy tariff on it,
out of complaisance to Louisiana, and if
wo want to be flooded with a superior ar
ticle of tbe saccharine, at greatly reduced
rates, we have only to moderate this tar
iff. Again, the cultivators of the Sor
ghum arc meeting with huge success in
West.
The Sooth used to send as some fruit
and vegetables, but less than wc sent it;
and now our retention of our vegetables,
fruits, and cereals makes thorn cheaper
for consumers here.
The blockade of North Carolina stops
our usual supplies of pino wood, but gives
employment to thousands of our people,
who are cutting "kindling" in New Jer
fley and elsewhere, instead of following
their UBual and more lucrative trades.
The loss of the thirty-three million dol
lars worth of pitob, tsr, turpentine and
rosin, wnicn jNortn Uarolina gave us an
nually, and to foreign nations through our
ships, operatos beneficially on those who
find employment in manufacturing these
artioles in Northern States. We get no
more Virginia shingles nor Carolina
boards; but, on tbe other hand, many of
our country mills have gone to work at
sawing shingles and others at splitting.
Tobacco is n lur.nry; but wc can raiso
all wo want of that, too.
