Alrrtius of llir Legislature.
The ficueral Assembly of Virginia meets in the Capi
tol to-day, in extra session. We have heretofore alluded
to the important duties devolving upon this body, under
the extraordinary circumstances by which we arc sur
rounded. The representatives of the people couie to
gether at a time whet; the public mind of the whole coun
trv is deeply agitated and alarmed—when Revolution has
been already inaugurated, and when the Revolutionary
spirit is fearfully on the increase, at least iu the cotton
growing region of the Confederacy. Nor, is it to be dis
guised that in all the Southern States, the feeling in fa
vor of Disunion ha* been augmeuted to a considerable
extent. In consequence of the daily exciting news from
the South, and the indispe-ition ol leading and iatlucutial
Republicans to me -t the crisis in a just and conciliatory
■pint.
But the representative* of the sovereign people of
Virginia should proceed to the discharge of their responsi
ble duties with calmness, deliberation, and the utmost
freedom from excitement and passion. We are uot iu
the position of the Cottou State*—we occupy no safe dis
tance from the Border—we are right on the Border, and
subjected to all the inconveniences,annoyances, and dan
gers incident to *o exposed a situation. Nor arc we.like
the Cotton States, altogether a homogeneous people.—
T*>ere are two grand divisions of the State, iu oue of
wuicu Hmvrry •* unioNi uuiTvrwi ncu iu iw uuirr u t**
ista to bur, comparatively, a small exteut. This fact
should be duly coasitl. cd, iu order that such action may
be taken as will command the approval and enlist the sup
port ot our whole people. It seems to us that it should
i-e the firs; object of every patriotic Virginian to briug
about a perfect accord ot sentiment and concert of
action among ,our own people. There should prevail,
therefore, a wise spirit of conciliation and forbear
ance on the part of all good citizens of the Old Domin
ion. The too hasty should slacken their pace—the too
alow should step a little faster; and thus a common grouud
be readied whereon all can patriotically and honorably
stand in this great emergency. The very extreme, noisy,
fussy persons, who clamor, without rhyme or reason, for an
immediate and unconditional “Jail up," and who atlVct
to look with complacency upon the fearful realities ol
Revolution and Civil War, the people and the represen
tatives of the people should no more regard, than they
do the idle wind. The preseut is a time lor rejection,
for deliberation, fur moderation, for wise counsels and
cautious action. X'o man is tit to be at the helm now—
no mau is tic to leg'slate tor the interests, the honor and
the safety of the people—who does uot approach the sol
emn work t*efore him with a due distrust of his own ca
pacity and wi ii the dignity and caution that properly
pertain to wiae and successful statesmanship.
Tiie present Legislature is composed, in good part, of
excellent material There are many members of the first
order of intellect, of loeg and varied political experience,
of eminent sagacity and for. sight, and whose patriotism
is unquestioned. And to these men the people look for
wise aud prudent measures—for just aud healing coun
sel*. And yet there are a number of persons in the pres
ent Legislature who would better serve the people in "a
private station”—who have no talent and no aptness for
legislative duties, and who, especially iu the present
emergency, find themselves floundering in very deep wa
ter, and wholly incompetent to the discharge of the task
n-eugued them bT their constituents. Such member*
should exhibit a laudable degree of modesty and diffi
dence. and preserve a commendable reticence, in view ot
the grave and memento ..*> qp ■ -‘iens awaiting a decision.
Let, then, the able and experie: < i men of the General
Assembly, in both lit s, ' pv -d to tale the lead in
the important matters that ii< : : J attention, and let the
numerous greenhorns of the body consult their selt-res
peet and the people s good by taking back loots aud keep
ing their mouth hermetically scaled duting the entire
session.
As to the call of a Convention, we hope that the Le
gislature will consider the matter well, and have an eye
to the convenience and :ve Wishes of thepeoplt. Theie is
no doubt that ihe Immediate Secessionists desire,as Ur n
poasible. to avoid consulting or defer in g to the /*> pit.—
Their ot ject is, to order an election for members ol the
Convention within the course ot the next month, the t ou
vention itsell to assemble by the ISthol February.and an
ordinance of accession be passed by the 4th ol March
But we warn the people and the representatives of the
people against such reckless and indecent haste, e
warn the pt [ it that the politicians " ill assuredly attempt
to get the whiphand of them, aud force them into seces
sion and revolution, without attordiog them even a de
: a : oriui.itv for rejection and consultation among
ti ci * Ue*. Nor is this all. Not only h the purpose ol
the .-'eve jn Precipitator* to hurry up the assembling of
a Couven and the pa.**age of an ordinance ot Seces
sion, but it is their iatentiom to make the action of the
Convention final, refusing to submit their action to the
vo'es of the people to be ratified or rejected by them at
the polls. Such is the Irnmedi iteSece.** on programme at
present. And we undertake to say that it involves a direct
ii <1 dt or outrage upon the ptopie ihens-elves, without a pa
rallel in the history of the Commonwealth. Strange, in
deed. that the Secession politicians should manifest such
o » n distrust of the people ’ The ..ction of the last State
Convention—inconceivably unimportant, in all respe«ts>
when compared with that which L* now to assemble—
was submitted to lh vote of the people, to be ratified or
rejected as seer. • d to llie.n bc-t. And yet the action Of a
Convention, called to determine our relations to the
Union and our sister States—called to dot ide upon the
fate of the State for all time to come—is no*, to be sub
mitted to tho peoplo lor their approval or disapproval’
Is it possible that the free and intelligent citizens of Vir
gii.iu will for a moment tolerate such tyranny and such
outrage ' We believe uot —we are sure tliev will not—
and the Precipitating Politicians had better be ou the.r
gnard, orasadt destruction will over like and overwhelm
them all.
We repeat, in conclusion, the expression of our bops
that the Legislature, which meets to-day, will act with
the calmness, deliberation and prudence that become
uieu upon whom such grave responsibilities rest. They
«re the elected uardiaus of the ii terots and honor cf
the State, and they should so discharge their high trust
as to stand justified by then on >« -cieuces, and com
maud the hearty and unanimous apj olia iua of their
constituents. Let them proceed earnestly to work, will -
out delay, complete their labors, and return home as
•oon as possible.
Short Work.
The late ordinance ot South Carolina simple repeals
all acts of the State ratifying the Federal Constitution,
and ahe is forthwith discharged from the compact, to
which she became a party in her sovereign character.
Retaining to herself all the attributes of sovereignty,
sue has, for Nasons satisfactory to bene It, withdrawn her
assent to the leajne of States, and she forthwith be
cottiee an independent Couimotiweullh.with all the facul
tiee of selfgovernment. A dozen lines agreed to by
unanimous consent of the Convention, have accomplish
ed this result.
On a former occasion, the process was more acorn pli
ca ted, a* will appear by an abstract of the ordinance ol
Nullification adopted on the ii-lth November, 1 ' f, by a
vole of ISO yeas, to go nay*. As a fragment of history,
this record of the past is worthy of revival, as throwing
light upon the stateruianship of the country. After tie
preamble, the ordinance declares, in effect—
1. That the acts of Congress imposing duties on im
ports are unauthorized by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and are null and void, and no such law is
binding upon the State, it officers or citizens ; and all
promises, contracts, or obligations entered into to secure
duties imposed by said acts, and all judicial proceeding*
to force the wxr, dial! belli I utterly null and void.
•i. That it shall not be lawful for any anti orities Fed
eral or State, within the limits of South Carolina, to en
force the payment of duties imposed by *aid act* from
and alter the first day of Febru iry, !' -the Legiala
* ire to make tuck provision a* may be necessary to carry
out the object of the ordinance.
» That no app al »hall l>e allowed in auy case drawing
p, «)<iv*tWN) the authority of the ordinance, or the validity
of any art of the legislature to carry It into effect; nor
pii.H anv copv of record be furnished for the purpose of
,;l u; iu*al to the bupr, me Court of tin’ United States, on
p iiu oi contempt nor will any judgment of reversal be
regarded.
4. Jr.», t!| jwrson. holding tfBce- of honor, tra-t or
profit, civil or military, shall take an oath to obey and
.•xecuU the ordinance and the acta of the Legislature to
give it effect. If auch oath be not taken, the office is at
anon vacate.!; nor can any person cirrcise office under .
a new election without taking such oath.
.1. That if the General Government shall employ force
military or naval, against the State, its officers or citi
jena, or shall shut up her port®, or take any steps to en
force the acts of Congress so declared void, except
through the civil tribunals, then South Carolina and
her people « ill he absolved from all political connection |
with the people of the other States, “ and will forthwith
proceed to organize a separate government, and do al!
the acts and things which sovereign and independent
States may of right do."
On the 10th of December, 18S2, President Jackson
issued his proclamation, in which he says that “ disunion
by armed force u treason." Virginia sent a special
commissioner, (lion. B. \\. Leigh) to houtii Carolina,
j and other Suites interposed their kind offices to prevent
I bloodshed. In the mean time the tariff com promise had
been introduced by Mr. Clay, which passed March
1- and the ordinance of Nullification was suspended.
Thus was the Republic saved from disaster twenty-eight
years ago, to be wrecked on the shoal of Abolition and
Secession in 1861.
Importance ol Prcwerrlmt the I'nlou.
Read the following eloquent and affecting extract from
the great speech of Daniel Webster in reply to Uayue in
1832:
I profess, sir, in my career hitherto, to have kept
steadily in view the prosperity aud honor of the whole
| country, and the preservation of our 1 nion. It Is to
! that Uniou we owe our safety at home, and our
| consideration and dignity abroad. It is to that
I l'nion that we are chiefly indebted for whatever
mk. s ii< most proud of our country. That Union we
reached only by the discipline of our virtues, in the se
vere school of adversity. It had its origin in the neeas
,i:ics of disordered fiuance, prostrate commerce, and
ruined credit. Under its benign influences, these great
interests immediately awoke, a- from the dead, and
sprang forth with newness of life. Every year of its
L.a tnAmml is. 11 \\ 1 TVfVnfd Ikt ltd llfiHfV fllld
it- blessings; and although our territory has stretched
out wider and wider, aud our population spread farther
and farther, they have not outrun its protection, or its
beuehts. it has been to us all a copious fouutaiu ol na
tional, social and persoual happiness.
1 have not allowed roysell, sir, to look l>?youd the
l’uiou, to see what might lie hidden in the dark recess
behind. I have not coolly weighed the chances of pre
serving liber'v, wheu the bonds that unite us shall be
broken asunder. 1 have not accustomed myself to hang
over tin* precipice of disunion, to see whether, with my
sh* .sight. I can fathom the depth ol the abyss below;
u. eould l regard him as a safe counsellor in the aliairs
of this t.overcment whose thoughts should be mainly
bent on considering, not how the l uiou should best be
pr. served, but how tolerable might be the condition of
the people when it shall bo broken up and destroyed.
While the Union lasts, we have high, exciting, grati
fying prospects spread out before us, for ua aud our
children. Beyond that I seek uot to penetrate tie veil,
tiod gran' that, iu my day, at least, that curtain may
not rise, tiod grant, that on my vision may never be
opened what lies behind. When my eyes shall be
turned to behold, for the last time, the sun in lleaven,
may 1 not see him shining on the broken and dishonor
ed fragments of a once-glorious Union; on States dis
solved, discordant, beiigereut, and a laud rent with civil
feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood ! Let
the last feeble and lingering glance, rather, behold the
gorgeous euMgu of the Republic, now known and hon
ored throughout the earth, still high advanced, its
arms and trophies - reaming iu the r original lustre—
not a stripe erased or polluted, uor a single star ob
i scared, bearing tor its n otto, no such miserable inter,
to-story as “ what i- all this worth ?" Nor tho-e other
words of delusion a:id folly, “ Liberty first and l uiou
afterwards,” but eveywherc, spread all over in charac
ter- of living light, blazing on all its ample folds, a.
th- v float over tl e -ea.s aud over tho laud, and in every
wind uuder t'ue whole heavens that oiher sentiment,
dear to every true American heart, “ Liberty an.I Union
now and forever, one aud inseparable!”
The Territorial Question.
Tae Baltimore Exchange, a Breckinridge journal, the*
! „ t,!y eommeuds the proposition submitted by Mr.
: like to the Sena:.* Committee ol Thirteen ot tUe ellec
| t lVl- removal o! one among the causes obstructing a pa
cif „• settlement of our present dissensions:
•A .o g t; e plans ior t'ue settlement of the dispute be
*w. > n the fi. c and Slave States, respecting ti eir rights
it e National Territories, none seems to us so simple and
sta'cstnanhke as that which conteinpiates putting an end
to the Territorial difficulty by putting uu end to the Tei
rit< rial condition. In the Senate Committee ol Thirteen a
pr. position was submitted by Mr. Rice, ol Minnesota, to
div . the Territories of tho United Mates by the old Mis
souri compromise line,and at on. <• admit the section North
of that line as the free State of Washington, and the sec
tio . South as tho slave State of Jefferson. In the terras
of the admission of th.se States it w as to be provided
r'ia: when any portion of them hereafter, with an ana ol
iio; Its- than sixty thousand square miles and a population
ol at Last 1 shall apply, it shall be udiuitted as a
■ ■■ rate Sta:.-. Tnis plan was reported to have met with
■ i« approbation of Senator Davie, cf Mississippi, but to
have fallen to the ground iu the committee, over the
everlasting s'.uiubliug-blotk of Kansas—one side insi-l
.hat this Terriiory should not be included in the
Su..* of Wa-hiugtou, aud the other that it should.—
Looking merely ui the principle of this mode of »ettlc

The expedient of Mr. Rice is noi even a nOvel one.—

The Bombay U uttle, of Nov. 2t», says:
“The cotton uterchau's in Englaud will be glad to hear
thi1 the Nizauis government has ceded to us all the rich
i iotli i producing countries, including lie liar, on the left

T its new territorial acquisition baa peculiar significance
aud importance at the present time. It has long been ev
ident that the far-sighted uieu who have built up and
mait.sained the manufacturing greatness of England were
looking ot. iu every direction with the determination to
get relief from heir .-tale of dependence on the cotton
planters of this country. A-it and Africa Lave both been

staple, aud we know that mauy arc sanguine of a favor,

tli« v.islics of exjKirt show that the production by pri

The Bonier Stalw.
T a* six slave States which lie contiguous to nou-slave
hobbng Slates, are Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Mis
souri, Arkausas and Texas—the three latter adjoining
territories iu which slavery doc* not exist practically, all
ii ling on the same level s- to the evils of abolition in
th.. ■ ce ia the loss of property iu slaves. The baxardsof
the border Slates are well described by Mr. Clay, iu hi*
letter to a citizen of Alabama iu 1841, to be touud in the
“l*r vate Correspondence of Henry Clay," p. 480, trom
which the following U an extract:
“From developments now being made in South Caro
lina it is perfectly manifest that a party exi-ts in that
Sue • seeking a dissolution of the lit too, and for that
purpose employing the pretext of the r*jection of Mr.
I Tyler's abominable treaty. South Carolina, beiug sur
! rounded bv slave States. would, in the event of a disso
I !u:iou of the Cnion, suffer oulv comparative evils; but it
, is 0'H. rwtsr with Kentucky. She has the boundary ol

St it.-.. WL.it would our condition be in the event ot
lb*- riwatest calamity that could befall this nation f”
The election of Mr. Folk, who was in favor of the im
mct -itc annexation of Texas, caused South Carolina to
po- pone her quarrel with the Uuion to a more suitable
opportunity. The triumph of the Black Republican can.
diilate for President is a perfect windfall to Carolina,
aud alio has gracefully retired, in fulfilment of her ancient
polk?.
Position ol the Governor of INialourl.
The Hou. <J. Y. Jackson, Governor elect of the State
Ol Missouri,has written a letter to tin Lexington Exposi
tor upou the engros'iug issue* ot tho day. We copy the
concluding paragraphs:
“ Had I been acting Governor of the State, I should
h ive called the Legislature together before now, in order
that thev might consider tbo question of calling a Con
vention : amt at the same time, if thought proper, to
despatch a Commissioner to South Carolina, Georgia, etc.,
asking them as friends not to go out of the Union by
anv hasty step, but remain with us and meet us in Con
vention, and, if go wc must, let us all go out together.—
Let us exhaust all the means in our power to maintain
our rights in the Union, let us preserve the government
if possibly in our power; but if alter having tried all the
remedies within our grasp, if these should fail—as I fear
they will—then 1 say let us dissolve tho connection and
maintain the rights which belong to us at all hazards ami
to the hut extremity.
“In any arguments upon this subject I have thought
it a waste of words and time to discuss the abstract right
of secession. To us it does not matter whether it he a
constitutioual remedy or not. What right has the Black
Republican or his allies to read us lectures on constitu
tional rights after having violated with impunity the
plainest provisions of the Constitution for more than thirty
years? 1 pray that our friends may not he betrayed into
any r.tsh acts or measures. Let there be no threats, no
bravado, no gasconading; but firmly and determinedly
let us take our position iu the right, and stand by it to
the last.” _
Tin- Forced Lomu Syatem.
We learn from the Charleston Correspondent of tbo
New York Express that South Caroliua, like Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, and Guatemala, or the States ot Mexico, is
entering upon the Forced Loan system. Public opinion
compels a man to lend to the Slate as iu Mexico. On
uue store of goods, worth about $40,000, a forced
loan was levied by this "public opinion" of $3,000! The
taxation upou negroes is frightful, $10 per head. They
that dance must pay the tiddler.

A meeting held at rarnersnurg, u., whii neueraio.
.1 Jackson in the chair, on Tuesday last, adopted a series
of resolutions expressing devotion to the Luion, depre
cating the course of South Carolina, aud whilst recog
nizing the wrongs of the South, not deeming them of
Mitlioient magnitude to resort to revolution. Among the
resolutions as to the course of Virginia were the follow
ing :
That, in the opinion of this meeting, the proposed call
of a Convention by the Legislature, for the purpose of
considering what po-ition Virginia shall assume in the
revolutionary movements of South Carolina, is at the
instigation of the enemies of the 1’uion, and intended as
the means of precipitating the State into a connection
fatal to her credit, her prosperity, and to the happiness
of her people.
That we believe the General Assembly has no consti

changing the relation of the State to the Federal Govern

REASONS OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR LARGI
SUPPLIES OF ARMS AT THE SOUTH.
Washuioton, Jan. .I.—On inquiry at the War Depart
meut, I luve received the followiug explanation as t<
the large quantity of arms that are reported to have beei
found in the Southern Arsenals. They state that befon
June last, it being found that the arms at the several ar
scnnls were not proportionally distributed, and tha
Southern Arsenals were quite deficient in those supplies
a distribution was made for equalization only, aud tar ni
other object. They, were principally drawn from thi
Soiiuglield Atmorv and the Arsenals at Wstervleit, .New
York, and Watertown, Massachusetts. They represen
that the secession troubles bad not then commenced.—
After this distribution was completed, there remaiued i
p: uponderance of arms at the North.

This Wonders or to* Microscope.—We understand
it i* through the agency of this marvel viewing instru
ment that l)r. Ayer has »t length succeeded in finding
the palm'nan miasm and dolotmitnug its character. Of
iu effects we in this aectiou ba«e abundant evidence iu
tho Eater and Atifg which it alone produces when ah
sorbed through the lungs into the blood. It has long
been held to be a vapor or something in the vapor of
yfater from decayed and decaying vegetation. Under a
great magnifying power, the Doctor lias found this vapor
to contain distinct organisms or living bodies, corres
ponding precisely witli those found iu the blood of Ague
subjects. They arc 1 )l,(MSi times less than visible to the
naked eye, but have distinct character and form. Ho
thinks they are reproductive in decaying matter or in the
blood, and hence their long continued life or the remote
effects of them in the system, lb* maintains that they
resemble in character the other fennaiiialive poisons, or
such as the virus of rabies or of a deadv body, Ac., all
of which arc known to reproduce themselves with great
rapidity like yeast in moistened Hour, so that the slight
est quantity impregnates the whole mars. Yeast, through
a powerful magnifier is seen to be a forest of vegetation
which grows blossoms, and goes to seed in a short time.
Miasm is not so distinctly vegetable, but has more the
appearance of animal life, althoug its motions cannct be
perfectly distinguished. What the Doctor claims to have
settled is that it is an orgauic substance and lie has fur
ther found and embodied iu his “Ague Cure” what will
destroy it.—Leader, St. Louie, Mo. *
from the 'theereer, New York, August 18, 18ftl>.
Domestic Cabinet Mkni.ri..—It is one of the marvels
of the age that such vast sums are expended in getting
up apparently trifling articles, and another marvel that
these are of so much utility. Large fortunes have been
made out of matches, which are sold at the rate of one
or two hundred for a penny. Somewhat similar, we arc
told, is to be the success of a recent invention for re
pairing all kinds of furniture,—“Spalding’s I’repared
(Hue.” It is prepared chemically, will keep in all climates,
may be applied on the instant, and if all that is said ol
it is true, must become highly useful in repairing broken
furniture, dilapidated books, and indeed in all cases
where glue is usually applied.

The main difficulty, however, is that parties are at pres

will receive it in a spirit of mutual accommodation both
North and South.
Tbo enrollment of the District militia will probably
commence to-morrow. The plan for their reorganization
was commenced more than aix months ago, hut all the
officers were not apjtointed till recently. The present
movement is to concentrate the militia of the District, so
as to make them i fficient for service, should it he neces
sary at any time to call them out. to preserve the peace.
A company of Marines were put in po*«earion of Fort
Washington on the Potomac river last night, to prevent

It is reported that another compjny of Marines ar

Ttio troops ordered from I^avenworth to Fort McHenry

The Mississippi and Alabama delegations had a con
