ONLY A LOVE ST0RY T A SSRTLKH AM OF BROOXVILH. CHAPTER VII. M!m OreY found her ancle nn intelligent, gentlemanly, jolly Eogliahman. Tbra mm nothing about him that auggeated the prettig of noble birth, and hia niece never dreamed that the blood of an hundred Earls flowed in his veins and her own. It wa. left for the romantic Miss Agnace. to enlighten Mtdtlein's ignorance on this poipt, which she did in a long epic, narrating bot Iiis Grey "waa the grand daughter of an English Lord, and was to go to England, and dwell in a castle, with a draw bridge, a portcullis, a moat, and turrets, and battlements with rooks flying about, all overgrown with ivy, (the latter em belliahment not being, it is presumed, appropriated by the rook,) and that now she was lady something, instead of only Miss Grey 1" Madalein was quite bewildered by this rumor f her brilliant destiny, but in a private! interview with her uncle, she learned thai it waa substantially true. Her uncle, Sir George Htstings, was the younger brother of Mtdtlein's giand father by her mother's side. Her moiher, she was informed, "having disgraced herself, by an alliance with the pl bian sou of a wealthy banker, waa disowned bv her noble relatives, and left Englni with her young husband, after finding a reconciliation wiih her family impossible. The indignxoi father, in (he meantime, had to yield alibis other children to the avenger Death, and saw his brave sons, one fair daughter, descend one oy one. in a mournful procesaion lo the grave. Worn out, more through grief and disappointment, than by the infirmalies of age, the noble lord, feeling himelf netr the close of his own career desired to make his pence with his only child, and invest her and her desevnditnis wi h his lordly title nd vast domains, but alasl when he uome lo trace her up, the old man found death had been befcre him, nd only one grand daughter was left lo inherit his wealth and ancestral name. Sir George Hnstings was authorised, in her grand father's ok me, to offer this sp:endid inheritance to MMBiatiA. Tsm condition were, that if still unmarried, lord Petcy'a grand dxughter hould remain so, until her grand father found a suitor for hei, worthy lo be endowed with the sanction of his osent. Would she accept this brilliant offer on these terms? Learning from Mr. Arnand, ihai his adopted daughter was still free. Sir George had written to lord Percy of the tact, and suggested the propriety of making a will in her favor." This Inteltgence started and owrjojed Madalein beyond ezpres ion. Tha mystery that enveloped her antecedents was now made olear. She exulted in her noble birth, for it was another offering to lay upon the ahrin of her love. But when she fotnd (lie conditions oo which she was 10 receive thia title to nobility, and boundless wealth, bade her sacrifice that love, she answered with a noble corn; "Tell lord Pv rev. for his grand daughter, that she disdains the offer of hie lordly name, and untold wealth oa the conditions he proposes. He eiiled my muiber, for the crime of wedding where she loved, from his afleetions, aad suffered her to meet her death on foreign shores, and left her infart daughter to the protection of strangers, who proved truer than kindred, and when be would make aitonemenl for his sin be proposes to Je it til hie own terms. Mo 1 I do aot accept lord Percy' bounty. I will wed wbe I love, "and when I choose, and no man ahall choose for me." "Spoken liko a Hastings," said the Baronet in an "aside I i hoik my dear niece," be said to Mad alein, "Vou Ao chosen, Is it not so?" "Yes," leplied Miss Grey, ' it Is true. I have aot yet mentioned it to Papa, it is a recent eve .t." "I am sure." Sir Geoige continued, "I can claim tha pleasure nf having aeea the happy man. Is .it Mr. Vane Vf "It is Mr Vana " answered Madalein, her indignation softening at the sound of dial dear name. "I will give you a week, to consider the offer of your grand father, Madalein." her uncle aaid, aa he roae to terminate the interview at the enu of iha.1 lime, you nan give me your final decision." "I have already given my final and irrevocable dwoiBion ." M tdalein give hemeelf but Utile uneaaineaa about her patent to noksliiy. She had yoath, wealth and love for her inheritance. whyJhould she covet more?Ska woniiered at her foster father's anaioua iinporluniliea that she ebouM accept (he conditions of her gr ind fathwr'a offer. 8he HttW thought that the wealth, the inhn . no from her Uiher. ha! all b . n iiandered in nopeleM speculation through the noaeat endeavors of Mr, Amard to incrvaas it. Mr. Arnard's drieetlon and preoccupied mann r, ainoe lo r return, had ettreettii Madaleln's notice, but h appealed so dltreead whan .he inOMlieil into the nau of his in. happiness, that she forbore to ies ion him. Nh reoieved loag aid leader epistles from Vane, glowing a ith eloquent protestations of love j.J impatsane and her ehief delight an. I occupation was inaiiswsrmg them Mm tohi htm of her noble lineage, In whl.ik she lo.i,.. bc4ud U was aomi thing the world esteemed, some thing more to bring bias, btft ske did not I Ht but that for her love she might buflonie the hennas of all conn nl wealthy home. What was in r tii'pitse and oliagrin when Mr. Arnard eoohl no longer soaoea1 from liar that aha wae not the heiress she oppoMtl afcerMrtf, but only the posses

sor of a very modest competency! and

that ihis was the reason of his anxiety concerning her acceptance of her grand father's offer. This change in her fortune did not in the least influence Madalien's decision. She lost no time in informing her lover of it, but she did not insult bis manhood by an intimation that she believed herself Itss dear to him because she was no longer an heiress. The usual time elapsed, hat no reply came to Madalein's last letter and anxious and disappointed aad supposing Vane III, she wrote again but still no answer came. She was too unworldly to harbor a suspicion uu worthy of his honoi, but m weeks went oy, and no liaiogs came, and hope grew fainter, and conjecture failed to give a plausible answer to her fears, the slow conviction grew upon her that her lover was untrue, but strange to My, tbe cause of bis inconsistency wu never asso ciated in her mind with her loss of fortune. Why dd he not write ? She had written again and again until her pride forbade to do so sny more. Even her love and faith could Mod no apology for suoh neglect. She waa most wretched. No one should know of this, leaat of all Mr. Arnard, who enraged at her obstinacy in refusing her grand father's offer, had spoken sneeringly of her hastily formed attach men t for Vane as the cause of it and predicted that she would aa hastily repent it. Afraid ihat her unhappiness would be remarked. Madalein' pride came to her aid, and under a visit of auumed gaity and indifference she masked her aching heart, and no one knew how wearily it beat, as weeks and months pasted away and brought no clue to the mystery of her lover's silence. How sick at soul she was of the part she felt compelled to enact duiing the day. but the might waa her own. and in the blessed seclusion of her chamber she was alone with her grief, and there, after loeking the door, and extinguishing the light, as ihough it were some guilty secret, she sat down and communed with it. She could only wonder why he did not write ? but as all her answers failed to saiiafy her she would grow indignaat and persuade herself that she had acted unwomanly in allowing horself to be won so easily, hut notwithstanding, her remorawful self accusations, and her indignation towards her lover were sure to be followed by passionately tender recollections of him. of bis glorious beauty, of his fond love Tor her, of all his noble and endearing attributes and the blissful hours they had passed together. Did she icpent her ' hastily formed attachment?" No I she believed it was worth a life time, after sorrow but to have lived for this much joy. But time elapsed and brought no intelligence of Vane; even the period arranged daring their correspondence for a visit passed without bringing him, and Madalein began to consider the past a dream to beautiful and impossible to be realised. She wns as one who having ciosMd a lovely sunlit Isndscspe, enjoying, bat half unconscious of its beauties as she passed, had reached the shadow of a gloomy mountain beyond, and with backward glances wondered at tbe glories behind, but with steps advancing deeper and deeper into the shadow of the mountain Sir George Hasting's admiration of his ni ce increassd as their acquaintance progressed. He found herself reliant and premature, muoh beyond her years, and her personal charms, united with her accomplishments and aequirmebts made a complete conquest ol his heart He bad been greallyplens ed with Vane's patrician beauty and noble bearing during their short interview, and aa he had uffered from disappointment in love, in early life, he felt the warmest consideration and sympathy for the lovers Though bom and reared an Englishman, much travel, a liberal education and a generous spirit hsd disabuMd his mind of the prejudices of rank and made him a cosmopolitan. He WM profoundly impressed with the noble simplicity of our republican institutions, the cnaracteris'.to independence of all classes of Americans, and regarded our young commonwealth M a growing giant, that at no very remote day would become the standard bearer of the nations of the world. He was not, therefore, undecided what course to pursue towards his high born niece and her republican lover on reoieving unexpected intellig nee of lord Percy's decease, who dying in the belief of his grand daughters exemption from all matrimonial restraint (for Sir George, waiting to lest Madalvlu's decision, had not informed her grand father of her plebian engagement,) had endowed lo r with all nis estate, appointing Sir George Hastings her guardian, without whosu oonMnt ehe waa not to marry, the penalty of which inlriiigment being (he forUturo of her inheritance Honestly flunking thai the happiness and welfare of hie oeioe depended on his uoosent to her mar riage (having heard from Mr. Annul of the los i of her properly ) and having every confidence in the superiorly of her judgment, and her ability to choose for herself In this important matter. Mattings made no delay in utiormmg her of the contents of her grand father's will, and his own will -ingneaa to aatt her In aeeepllng It on hvr own terms, A lew months ago tins imelligsnee would have given Madalein unbounded pleasar, but now what mockery it Memvd to bsr, this offer ol wealth and rank, what poor eom pen alion for blighted hope and love betrayed, Sir George oS erved with aurpriaa and dlMppointmeni the ooldneM with which she received hi ii'lmgs "Do you not un deMtewd my love, you are now lady Grey and free lo wed when you ehose? "And if 1 choM not to wed at all1" replied Madeline. "Why ihu you srs lad Grey still at your pleasuio,"

Ah my child true hearts are better And if I have changed my mind." she said, interupting him, and smiling to hide the pain his words gave her, "is it not what the world expects of me?" "Great God ! so young, and yet so worldly I 1 did not expeol this of you Madalein. are you nincere?" "Never more so," she replied, turning away with .nock gaity, for she felt her firraneM deserting her, and wm too proud to expose her secret, and too jealous of her lover's honor to accuse him. Madalien's favorite recreation after tbe fatigue attendant on her effoits to appear cheerful during the day. was a stroll to the lake beyond a northern strip of woods which lay between Beechwood and the lake shore. Hitber she bent her steps as usual, one evening to ponder her fate, ("drab colored destiny," Miss Agnare would have said.) It wm early summer, and the herded clouds roamed in peaceful beauty over tbe blue pastures of the sky; the sweet country air fanned her vexed brow, and on the faint breese was borne the distant mellow lowing of sweet breathed cows. The pastoral loveliness of the evening and the suene soothed her sad soul; she thought of her youth, her beauty, her wealth and rank, she pictured to I erself her English home, the "marble halls" of l.er proudancestors storied, and turrated and ivy bound, the vast domains of centuried parks, and English grass on which grazed antlered deer; the pleasant lakes where swarm majestic swan; the ruslio peasantry in picturesqu costume; the liveried servants coming at ber back, herself the lady of all these, and felt strong and proud. Why sboald the mourn ? Were not those things bettjr than love ? Love was but a cheat, a glorious lie! For a moment she exulted in the thought, but the memory of the pat sweept over ber, crying "what might have been, what might h ive been," and wrong her soul with such sweet anguish, that tears fell on the noble picture and dimmed and blotted its beauty forever. After all she was but a woman and ibis mighty loe filled her soul like a great inougLt of immortality and all the poor toys and bub bles of rank and wealth sank into pov erty before it. Proin the eminence of r . her prosperity she yet looked upward to where the star of love shone afar off; impoverished of love, how poor with all her wealth she felt. A she paced the pebbled shore wiih slow steps and thoughtful eyes, a shadow fell at her feet, and startled, looking

up, the tall Dgure ot Alourton Vane i ao.j mat sue wouia ioiiow mm wine confronted her. With a cry of glad 'ends of the earth, (although the gesurprise and joyful recognition, which :Ography '.f his hopes embraced no sounded a triumphant defiance to her more traveling than is included in a pride, she sprang involuntarily to-1 bridal trip) and finally circling within wards him. but the next instant re- the limits of his most exacting ex-

She did not answer, what could she say until that silenoe wm explained ? How eagerly she listened as he tOsp tinued. "Can you not believe, that l hav uffered too when days, an1 weeks and months, passed away and brought no answers to my anxiou letters, and rumors reached m of your brilliant destiny, until at last grown deapera e with suspense and hope ilef-1 ed.

and coeroed by yonr friends you had

renounced me, and I was informed of my mistake only a few days ago by Mr. Arnard himself, who confessed that he had consumated a plot to break the engagement between us, which he said be did from a conviction that it waslho only atonement he could make for tbe loss of your fortune, fur which he was responsible, as by complying with your grand father's demands it would be more than restored to you tie acknowledged that he had intercepted our letters, and kept us apart, in hopes that time and the continued temptation, would induce you to accept your grand father's offer. I dar ed t'i hope Madalein that the motive which influenced Mr. Arnard lo change his plan and make this confession was your unhappiness, for he gave me no clue to it, but earnestly entreated roe to come to Beechwood and ittterceed with you to forgive him." Madalein, who had been so agitated and worn by the trying events of the last few months, felt that nolh ing could ever astonish her again, and and received this unexpected intelligence of her foster father's mansuvering with little surprise. She knew that the motive which had instigated him to seek her lover, and make this explanation, had been induced by the change in her fortunes under Sir George Hasting's auspices, that her uncle and foster father bnd been making mutual disclosures which had resulted in the latter taking a sudden journey, which he announced was on important business, but which she lit tie dream d was to bring such happiness to her. She perceived that Vane was yet ignorant of the turn her af fairs bad taken, for he went on to say, "I have not come, dearest, lo tempt you to refuse your grand father's splendid offer and share my meaner fate, bat I come to vindicate my love and truth to you, which ever will remain the same, even ihough, oh God I Madaline you reject iL" She had risen from his embrace as soon as the irst shock of emotion had subsided, and stood with head erect and arm tightly folded, proudly gating on him. As the moonlight fell on the blond beauty of his hair, it seemed to her excited imagination a royal crown ol gold, and he a king at whose feet, the dowered daughter of an earl, she was w rthy to kneel. But what ever act of sell-immolation Miss Grey meditated, in iew ol her lovtr's perfections, waa forestalled by one of those unpul , v of our common human nature. I i i. a, as. t m which force us in the direction of our inclinations, and without knowing how or why, she found herself in bis closely embracing srms, her head upon his bosom, vehemently protesting that she would die for him (which was far more than he wished her to ! j . . .. i t J r . . , . pectutions, settleu down on the assurance that she would cling to him 1 through life, and repose beside htm in idsath. But all this was very sweet ' flattery to Vane, whose hopes, like l.!J-La ....l-' . r t- f otros oeiore "tne winter ot nis discontent," bad flown away, now came ed member of the Society of Friends. Agreeable to notice, a number of the friends of Freedom assembled at Temperance Hall last night, but the meeting was of short duration. A number of persons opposed to the party were in the Hall, and before the organixation was completed some one proposed three cheers for Fremont, which wm followed by three groans, and three cheers were given for Fill more, and three for Riichansn A general melee then began, nnd the Hall was cleared in a fsv minutes, some of thu party escaping out of (he windows. Oneol the members of the meeliog succeed d in gelling out of the crowd with the loss of his coat, and was followed by a crowd nn to Baltimore street, where he took refuge in astore and left by the rear low But few persons were slruok. the oh jeot being apparently to bruak up the meeting without using serious personal violence. Though our clttsens are universally oppoMd the principles which the meeting advocated, the course pursued was disreputable, and oan only help the oa.tse it was inten ded to crush.

No 5. An Old Lin gathering of Penatet Union! Treason and Traitort Hon. J. A. Wbiuht Sir- Since I wrote my last letter :j your Excellency, I have hsd the pleasure ot spending sn afternoon snd night in your city. I was plessed to witness the rapid growth and development of our Capitol. Formerly, trade was confined to river towns, but the building of railroads introduced a new era, and Commerce, "shitting, turned the other way." It wss the afternoon preceding the O'.d Line demonstration st the Tippecsnoe Bsttle-Ground, snd lesrning that Douglas, Cats, Breckenridge and other magnates were to speik, though I hsd made srrangemcnts to go Westward that night, I remained until the next day to learn irom the tips of those men the true principles of the party. Before I describe those speeches, sir, may I ssk you what fitness there is In an Old Line demonstration on that Battle-ground I It is my opinion, sir, that the Devii, much as divines of your church ssy of his meanness, wss astonished above measure when Bright, Willard, Cass, Douglss snd Dickinson arose on that ground and lauded the memory of Harmon. He surely rubbed his hands with glee and said, "Well, well, this bests my time! I remember 1840 theae meo were then shouting British Whljrs,' 'Bank-bought Whigs.' 'Old Granny Petticoat Harrison!' Now. it's 'Noble Whig Parly' Brave old Whigs' -Glorious Henry Clay!' These are entitled to my pitchfork, split-foot and tail. Bright heads me, snd 1 alwsys did own up to Willsrd." But to that meeting. At an earlv hour, Senator Bright your much loved friend, Governor made his appearance. Almost immediate y he asserted that be honestly believed thst the design of the Republican orgsnisstion and its leaders in Congress, was the dissolution of the Union! This wu modest language to come from a Kentucky slaveholder to Indiana freemen! Heslsossid: "This canvass is essentially a contest between the North snd the South." AIo thst those with whom he scted, including old National Whigs snd Democrats from the North snd South, were in lavor of ihe Union as it is, despite Northern fanaticism. This wss the substance of sll thst waa said subsequently by Senator Cass in his dignifl d platitudes, Douglas In his half-drunken gasconade, Preston in hia stilted botnhsst, and v.mraelf in the partial repetition of that "asms old speech," endeared to all the people by a thousand recollection; Mr. Breckenridge in his really dignified snd courteous remarks, Willsrd in his coarse ta ving and brutal falaehoods, and Helm in his mouthing nothings. Now, Governor Wright, I shsll nail thea fslseboods to the counter. I assort that the Old Line party have gone into this contest with simply one grest principle, vis: the indefinite extension of slavery, and secondly, if you cannot succeed, I shall show that your leaders (for, Governor, you Northern politic isnshsve your leaders ind'drivers,) are prepared and determined to dissolve the Union. The first position I prove thus: Senator Bright. Ex-Officio Vioe President, the man whom Indiens Democracy delights to honor, saya: "Thia canvaaa ia essentially contest between the North snd the South ." Admitting thst he acte,) with and for Ihe South. The same sentiment, only more boldly ssid, is in the lollowing quotation from the proceedings of the Demo, racy of Farquier co., Vs.: 'Resolved, That the paramount issue) of thia curvsM is the slavery question, to which there csn be but two sides, the one held by the Blsck Kepub'.icsns, and the other by the Democracy, snd thst those who sre not lor us and with us, arc against us." Now is there anv concealment! Here the object of the struggle is openly avowed. There Is no whining sb-jut tha Constitution, but a bold avowal we fight for slsvery; and son tell ua, sir, in your eloquent speech, that the Democracy North and Smith Is one. It may be said this i selecting sn extreme Southern view. What asy ycu then, to the following from thst truly Democrstic sheet, the N. Y Day Book. We repeat, slavery, negro slsvery, snd negro slsvery extension, is the sole question before the country, snd to be settled st the soprosvhing Presidentisl election. But the Demoorscy sre nnt eeposed to tlavtry exlcntton.

I know that good old Democrats say .they sre opposed to the extension ss much as we sre. But u course they are hypocrites, or elss thay sre duped by the party letders.

sanctioned alike by the opiniontand usagtt of mankind, and by the authority and express injunctions of the scripture. They cannot consistently maintain that slaveis immoral, inexpedient and profane, snd yet continue to eubmit to its extension." Now, sir, hsving demonstrated th first, let me briefly demonstrate the eecotd, snd show that tbe men with whom you act, those noble Southern Whig and Democrats, are avowed diaunionieu, and ready to step out of the Union, on less the bondage of the blsck man shsll be extended everywhere . I shall give vou here s clsss of quotations from Southern men, to give them from Northern Old Lmers is needless they sre mere echoes. Pleae read wbst follows. By Sena tor Yulee.of Florida: "For my part. I am ready to proceed to extreme measures, even to the dissolution ol the Union." By Senator Brown, of Mies.: "If the Wilmot proviso is sdopted.it will raise a storm thst will .sweep awav Ihe Union, and I pray God devoutly it win ao so. By Mr. Morse ol Louisiana: "The Southern man whs will stand ep and ssy be is for the Union, 'now and forever,' is more dangerous to the people he represents .than those who are in open hostility. If California be tram meled with a preamble declaring the territory now free, I am willing to dissolve the Union.' By Mr. Stanton, of Tennesee "When the Wilmot Proviso is adorn ed, I and the South are ready to walk out of tbe Union." By Senater Butler, or South Carc'ins: "I do not make the salvation of the U nion ike persmouut question." By Senator Mason, of Va.-. "It is time the yoke was thrown off snd the question settled." By Mr. Colcok, of Gaorgia: "If ths Wilmot '.proisvo should psss in sny form, 1 will introduce s bill for the dissolution of the Union " By Mr. Mead, of Va.: "If you exclude us, I sm not willing to submit. W intend lo have the lend peaceably if we ean, forcibly if we must." By Mr. McWiUie. of Mies.: The people of the South know their rights, and will maintain them at all hazards, even should disunion result. The South must defend their rights, even at th expense of blood." The following resolution wsssdopted at a Congressional caucus of Southern Democrats, held inWasbington, in Jan uary, 1840: "Rssolved, That the dissolution of tha Union is preferable to the submission of thel South to the Wilmot proviso." Now, sir, with such s Record a Democratic Record of Infamy, Treason snd Disunion, how dsre you and your colleagues stand up and denounce better men ss seeking the dissolution of the Union? Sir, you are beaded with men who boldly avow treason! You ssy you can make the same speech North snd South. Thst Is well, for unless you can make the ame one, what ooe can you make) But you stare not go 8uth and say the man who advocates disunion Is a .Traitor! Yon dare not. Shall I not say the Old Liner who says he belongs to a party desiring to perpetuate the Union of Slates is t mistaken msnl Sir, you close an administration in soms respects honorable snd useful, most sadly and shamefully. You close it banded with and laboring for the success of sn avowed disunion party! Yours in sadness, ISAAC RIGHT How They Cheer. A New Yorker was recently sent out West by th National Democratic Asaoc.stion st Washington, to ascertain whst was best lo be done In order to get up sn effective opposition to Republicanism. He came, he ssw, but did not conquer. After attending vsrlous public meetings, snd feeling the public pulse, he wrote bsck to ths Association thst It wss utterly useless to attempt to stem th tide fiat waa setting in for Fremont and Freedom, snd closes his letter iu tbs following slniflcant style: "Obedient to my instructions, I have attended vsrious Republican meetings throughout tbe different Western States, and am forced to conlee that the thusissm I hsve witnessed speaks poorly for the success of our esuee.

Fron Use Baiaasoea l-aartoi. 4 iUUoaai Viow of tkoDiitmioi TbxOat When a journal like th Richmond Enquirer aeeumes lo itself the right to peak authoritsvely for the whole Sooth, it becomes the duty ef euch Southern members of the Confederacy a repudiate all idea of disunion to declare their fealty to Ihe article af confederation ta lanyuaa sthich casuset be mistaken 8a tut a respects tbe iaregrity of th Fed- a I bond, it matters not who is elected President Maryland will stand by Um Unten Sua has her preferences, and wilt indicate them by hervot; but, if th ststsmsn whom she regards most worthy of being chosen Chief Msfkttrsta, should unfortunately ha supplanted by a nor pcpulsr csndidste, she will imitste the exsmple of thst fine old English Admiral, Blske, who had no love for the pro.ectorat of Cornwall, yet felt it to be his duty to serve his country, no matter who held th reins of the Government. Maryland unit stand firmly by the Union. Not that her citiseos aro i nsensible to tbe perils by which it ia encompassed bat because ss s member of the confederacy, whatever power she bom. eases may still be exerted to promote the ends of good government, and reestablish peace and fraternal concord; snd because, sio, when once the South separate from the North, toe process of of disintgration between the seversl States will have commenced, and will continue until esch State, for some real or imaginary offenes sets up a Republic of its own, with its petty fortalices its insignificant nsvy, its corporal's guard of sn army, and with all those gnawing jeslousies which are the consequences uf rivalry among petty sovereignties. Moreover, separation involves the abandonment of nationality a rending aauodor of that glorioua flag which now command respect on every ses, and is s signal of protection to s commerce whie.i girdles the world with wealthy argosies. Whst nstion which now stand io awe of the United States would care to do homage to aay of the petty Republic of a ence glorious confederacy! It is not folly but sheer midsummer madness to talk of se per sting from a confederacy, which in union is all pow

erful, lo become as distinct governments the scorn snd contempt of the whole civilixed worM. Mark further what follows. The Government of the United; States, during th pressure of the Mexican war. required a loan. It was taken at once and at a high premium. Recently, th Bute of Virginia, bv merely threatening diaunion, found her bonds unsaleable in foreign markets, snd if she wss capable of carryin out her threat, thev would aot command purchssers st sny price. But is the Enquirer, while hurling its denunciations sgainst all who differ from it in opinion, quite certain tat it speak h sentiment of Virginia? There is a hardy, iransmontane population within the limits of that Stats, which, notwithstanding th fierce pugnacity displayed by our cotemporary, can never b roused to join its rebelious cry. Still leas could it be brought to carry out, in prscrice, the treason whieb the Enquire presche . If amy uuion at all take place, it will 6s the secession of Wettern Virginia from the seaboard counties- but not Irom the Union. Csrolina fire-eaters have pointed oat, in magniloquent sentence, the admirable capabllitlM of ths South forcsrrying on a defensive war. They hsve ahown how batteries, placed in this pus. and rifles bristling oa thst hillside, could work destruction oo un advancing foe. CoL Brooks baa. moreover, adviaed, ia the event of Fremont's election, that a gsllsnt army of Southerners, equipped with bowie-knife snd revolver, hall march in grim prooaaion to Washington, and siese upon the Government srchleves snd treasury. Our impulsive neighbor of the Enquirer straightway blows a bugle-blast, snd raises the warcry of th old Covenanters, "To your tents, O Israel!" But neither th defensive capacity of the Southern 8tatea. nor the teoipting suggestion of Col. Brooks, nor "the windy suspirationa of forced breath" of the Ri:hmond Enquirer, can stimulate patriotic people, proud of their national renown, glorying in their national prosperity, reverncing their national destiny, aad sensible of tbe power which that nationality insures, to aally forth on o Quixotic sn expedition, or even to attempt to crush out ths memory of the past, and the hope ot the foture, by an act wbieh would eairaii upon their posterity a bitterer destiny than thst which befel the children of Adam under th weight of the primeval curs. It Is confidently asserted by th D morracy that their great strength Iis st th South, na accordingly they claim for Mr. Buchsnsn every Southern Sum. W do not car to wsk them, justyt, from o pleasant yal delusive a dream, though we csn sssurs ium it wss not sn "snglfs whisper" which ssado their slumbers j lyou with such tidings. Süll, conceding, fur th sake of th aroumcnt, that th South is largely Democratic, ws would respect. fully aak, how, then, te it possible for the South to rtluse implicit obedience lo the rule or sny 'resident, legally sleeted, when we know thst It Is a car dinsl principle with the Den ic racy that "the majority shall govern I" If that majority la found at ihe North durinir be coming election, will the leaders of th South repudiate their Deasecratie (r inn plea, and forthwith rlie in retellon I Will Col.
