But not only are those heralds of the gos- pel to believe and teach at that crisis, that the coming of Christ is at hand : their pub- lie and earnest proclamation of his advent, and the great acta of judgment and mercy be la immediately to exert ia to occaaion, there are clear indicationa, the persecution to which they a ^ to be aabjected. Thus from the slaoghter of the witnesses at the same time, the prMerration of their bodies unburied where Cbey dan daily be inspected, and the assembUns of their enemies at the place where tbey lie, on the day when they are to arise from death, it is apparent that the witnesses before their death, will expre.«s the belief that they are to be raised accord- ing to the prediction of their martyrdom; and that that expression of their belief in the literal accomplishment of the prediction will be the reason that their persecutors will Uke all the steps suggested by the prophecy in putting them to death, preserving their bodiw, and assembling at the time of the predicted resurrection; so as to cut off the pretext that they are not the parties dc3cribe<l by it, and make it indubitable, if they should not ris^ that the prophecy is a deception; and this renders it sure that the witnesses tbcm.selves and their friends are to believe in the speedy coming and reign oY Christ, inasBinch as the prophecy announces that immediately after their resurrection, the sev- enth trumpet is to sound, and voices from heaven proclaim that the kingdom of the world hss become Christ's, and that he i.® immediately to judge the wicked and reward the holy. The witnesses, therefore, will un- doubtedly die in the faith that Christ will raise them from death, and will soon after appear for the judgment and destruction of their persecutors; and it will be because of that faith that their slaughterers will put them to death. And this is confirmed by the prediction that immediately on their resurrection, a tenth part of the city, that is one of the ten kingdoms, is to fall by an earthquake, or political revolution; which shows that the question between the witnesses and the rulers who are to b^ overthrown, is to relate to the powers and rights those rulers arrogate over Christianity, and those who profess it; and probably the de-natioaalisa^a tlw Pro- tesUnt choTcl)—Hrill aatarally SMCt a atera resistance from those who receive Christ's purpose to come aod reign oa the earth, aad lead them to an open, eame«t,^aiid fesrIiM proclamation of their belief, that tl^Hief who haa risen to tbperiat power ovar the ten kingdoBB, ia the beaat froia the abyss; and the Catholie ehurekhe baa exalted a w a into power the Bahyloo of tha Apocalypw; and their persnaaion that the alsyioKof the witneases U at hand, and that their4#«rr«e- Uon will follow at the time foreshown w the ^ of the of Babylon, the revelation of the man of sin, the gathering of the kings and armies at Armag^don, and the appearance o r the Messiah in glory, and deatmction by his avenging fires of the beast and Its anxilliariea. And that assault on tbem, and'announcement of their doom, will doubtless present the motive that will induce the imperial chief to -^ite them, and put their faith and the pre- diction of their martyrdom to the (eat by .^laying tbem, preserving them unbnried, and in a form in which they can be identified, «Dd awaiting the time of their expected re- surrection. Dwrinc that period, therefore, wbich from the renationalixation of the Cath- olic church to the resurrection of the wit- nwscs, may be fiif^ six, seven, or many years the condition of the true worshipera ia Great Britain will be one of extreme depres- sion and peril. Not improbably they will be interdicted ftom assembling for worship, and tbonsanda and myriada of tbem suffer the wants and miseries which Christ depicts in ^ e parable of the judgment at his coming. Malt. XXV, banger, thirst, nakedness, sick- ness, imprisonment Thair missions to West- ern A.sia, Africa, India, Burmah, China, and the Islands of the Southern and Pacific Oceans, will be interrupted, and the feeling brought home to every heart not under the blinding sway of sin, that so far as man is concerned, the condition of the world is hopeless: and that nothing but the speedv interposition of the Almighty Bedeemer, and assumption of the throne of the earth, can save the church from extiaetioa. Such are the great eventa that are ap proaehing. Such are the proofs that are soon to appear of the error of the notion so generally entertained, that the powers ol the world are to be withheld by the ministry of men from this war on Christ's kindom, and the race, before he comes, won back from rebellion to righteousness. In the va<t train of events that is to work this change in the views the people of God cherish respecting his purposes towards our world, and the office they are to fill in recalling it to obe- dience, we doubt not, the a^tations. revolu- tions. and strifes that now convulse this na- tion, and threaten to plunge it into a fath- omlci^s gulf of crime and misery, may have an imporUnt part. oughlyiato tijis belief that they wiffacta- Jit any man oi!4a|4Uie«M JiM undertakaatoteiVthMaWtar.

For th» T»ni»m«»» BaptvL BRO. GBAVES — I received a letter from :i friend and brotlier minister, dated May 15, from lower Ea.st Tennessee, which rails forth this article. I learn from that brother, whose name I will m t mention, that a bad state o) feeling is springipg up among members of the church from; oar na'ionaJ diSculties. Here is an extra'-t from the letter: " Brethren in the church arc falling out. Those who contend for the Union as it i.* called, say that the disaniouists are traitors and rogues. They irave been threatening to hang some of us. 5Ien who were my best friends two months ago, are now my worst enemies. And some have even said, if I am for the St'Uth, I shall never preach in their -tand, unless I am a better man than they." Will the biethren of East Tennessee allow one who loves E^t Tennessee with her lofty hills and romantic mountains, her rippling streamlets and deep rolling rivers, her flowering valleys and cultivated fields, and above all one who loves the cause of Christ and ardently labors and prays for iU pros- perity, to speak a few words, not of tear, but of pence. Dear Brethern of East Tennessee, for to you these lines are addressed ; should we fall out with each other because we honestly differ upon mere political issues, and ques- tions of national policy? Should we'brand our brother as a "traitor" or a "rogue." bccause he honestly differs from us upon the great questions that now agitate the public mind, and qucstionj^^o upon which the greate.>it men of the liation differ ? " Traitor aad rogui" are hard words, far too hard for brethren to apply to each other. I entreat brethren to pause and think before they brand each ather with such epi- thets. In times of great excitement, when reason is dethroned and pasrion roles the day, brethren say things that they would not say for the world, when cool, calm and de- liberate. I beseech brethrea of East Ten- nessee not to give way to passion and in- dulge in hard sayings about each other. Do brethren x>f East Tennessee Want to see divided and distraeted Zion; ehurehea at war with each other, and membera of the same chureh quarreling and fighting with each other? If they do, let them call each other traitors and rogues, and ^ose dreadful calamities will soon be upon us. Brethren, the eause of Christ ^H suffer enongh by the turbulent waves that now rock to and fro the ship of the State, without inauguratiilg a eivil war in the ehnreh. Bnt if brother ar> rays himself against .irrotherj the standard of God will trail in th^ dust, the eanker-wonn of death will gnaw at the heart ot the eltuf^, crime wUl increase, wiekedneM Wflk abroad narebukedraad .aianen roll dowa^to b^ Brethren 1« ua sot ae( to madly, but let iu art Iik9 wiae men.

It is indicated also by the fall, immediate- ly after the resurrection, of Babylon, the symbol of the nationalized hierarchies of the Catholic church : for that implies that the resurrection of the witnesses is to prove that the civil governments have no rifrht to na rionalize the church; and that that church h-is no title to be regarded as the church of Christ And thia finally is made indubitable, by the third angel, who, after the annouDcement of the fall of Babylon, utters a warninj: against any longer treating the behests of the beast and its image as authoritative. "Il any man worship the beast and bis image, and receive his mark on his forehead or on his band, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, and the smoke of their torment ascends for ever and ever." And it is added : " Here is the patience ol the saints ; here are tbey that keep the com- mandments of God, and the faith of Jesus And a voice from heaven said : Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from hence- forth ; yea, saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors," Rev. xiv. 9-13. There is to be a persecution, therefore, .nner the fall of the nationalized bicrarebies, and of so dreadful a character, that those who die in the Lord arc pronounced blessed, in comparison to those who still live: and the ground of the persecution is to be a refusal by those who keep the faith of Jesus, to ren der submission to the authority arrogated over Christ's disciples, by the civil rulers, and the hierarchies of the Cathode church. The question at issue in that persecution is accordingly to be. whether Christ is the sole lawgiver and king of the church; or, whether To Parmers and Planters of the Boutix. Will you permit us to advise you once more, touching those things concerning our com- mon welfare. Will you read the following from a Black Republican paper in the North, and l«im from your enemies. Frecaattons. The Legislatures of some of our States have already recommended our farmers to to come and reign ori the earth, and over- throw bis usurping foes; as is shown by Revelation chap. six. that he is immediately to come and destroy the civil mlers and false teachers, who are arrayed against him. There is thus to be a persecution of unex- ampled violence immediately before Christ's coming, in which the persecutors are to be the rulers and priests who deny his advent and reigii as the monarch of the world; and the victims are to be those who keep his word, and profess and teach that be is to come and and assume the sceptre of the earth, destroy his enemies, and redeem and bless those who own and trust him aj their Savlbr add King. And during that persMution all who are exposed to it, and undoubtedly those of God's children who gase at it from a dis Unce, ;will be filled with a sense of their powerlessn^ and be led to renounce all the false notions that are now eiitertained of a conversion of the world previoukly to Christ's coming, and Uuough the iBstrumentality of men.

We heir from various points that this has been and is being done. Nothing should be neglectcd which will help to make the staple article of food abundant during the next two years. Our farmers should not only plant larger crops, of wheat and corn, but they would do well for them- selve^^ and for the country to cultivate, to greater than ordinary extent, certain other crops, the products of wbich are greailj con- sumed by soldiers and sailors. Beans and peas, dried, form an important portion of the army antJ navy rations. They are only second in importance to bn-ad and ueat, and as helps to a healthy variation ol food, are of equal vital necessity. Large quantities of these articles will be needed for army provisions, and there is yet time for our farmers to prepare themselves to supply thi> demand. Also, the farmers throughout the conttry will do well to reserve their calves from the batcher's knife. This is a point of great ifr.porfa.nce. With a large army io support we cannot too carefully "look after the sup- ply of beef. We suggest to our agricultural societies to uke some immediate and general actioain this matter. Many thousand calves aret^d and kiUed every month in thi.< coun- try. Our farmers will find it profitable to raise all the increase of their herds during the present year at least , and this is a mat- ter of prudence, by which patriotic etock- raisers and cattle-owners can do much to help the cause of the Union, for which our brave soldiers have gone to battle. Hay. also, shonld be saved as much as pos- sible. It is an article much t^eeded in all campaigns; and there ia little doubt that the operations of the rebels ha-e been embar- rassed by the lack of i t The South has al- ways drawn its supply of hay from the north- ern and eastern States. Three months ago there were not five handred bales of hay in the States held by the mutinMn. Great ar- mies cannot b« moved witboot nnmerons teams, and probably the lack of bay was one not unimportant reason for a certain slowness of movement on the part of the rebel army, -hich has surprised our people, and now al- arms the traiton in Virginia. Rebellion will not triumph for lack of patriots to dispute its progress and pnt it to flight from onr land. Bnt an army can iio nothing " ' the care of spare no pains to provide the necessary sup- plies for oar brethren who are doing battle for the Union.

pel to believe and teach at that crisis, that the coming of Christ is at hand : their pub-lie and earnest proclamation of his advent, and the great acta of judgment and mercy be la immediately to exert ia to occaaion, there are clear indicationa, the persecution to which they a ^ to be aabjected. Thus from the slaoghter of the witnesses at the same time, the prMerration of their bodies unburied where Cbey dan daily be inspected, and the assembUns of their enemies at the place where tbey lie, on the day when they are to arise from death, it is apparent that the witnesses before their death, will expre.«s the belief that they are to be raised accord-ing to the prediction of their martyrdom; and that that expression of their belief in the literal accomplishment of the prediction will be the reason that their persecutors will Uke all the steps suggested by the prophecy in putting them to death, preserving their bodiw, and assembling at the time of the predicted resurrection; so as to cut off the pretext that they are not the parties dc3cribe<l by it, and make it indubitable, if they should not ris^ that the prophecy is a deception; and this renders it sure that the witnesses tbcm.selves and their friends are to believe in the speedy coming and reign oY Christ, inasBinch as the prophecy announces that immediately after their resurrection, the sev-enth trumpet is to sound, and voices from heaven proclaim that the kingdom of the world hss become Christ's, and that he i.® immediately to judge the wicked and reward the holy. The witnesses, therefore, will un-doubtedly die in the faith that Christ will raise them from death, and will soon after appear for the judgment and destruction of their persecutors; and it will be because of that faith that their slaughterers will put them to death.

And this is confirmed by the prediction that immediately on their resurrection, a tenth part of the city, that is one of the ten kingdoms, is to fall by an earthquake, or political revolution; which shows that the question between the witnesses and the rulers who are to b^ overthrown, is to relate to the powers and rights those rulers arrogate over Christianity, and those who profess it; and

And that assault on tbem, and'announcement of their doom, will doubtless present the motive that will induce the imperial chief to -^ite them, and put their faith and the pre-diction of their martyrdom to the (eat by .^laying tbem, preserving them unbnried, and in a form in which they can be identified, «Dd awaiting the time of their expected re-surrection. Dwrinc that period, therefore, wbich from the renationalixation of the Cath-olic church to the resurrection of the wit-nwscs, may be fiif^ six, seven, or many years the condition of the true worshipera ia Great Britain will be one of extreme depres-sion and peril. Not improbably they will be interdicted ftom assembling for worship, and tbonsanda and myriada of tbem suffer the wants and miseries which Christ depicts in ^ e parable of the judgment at his coming.

Such are the great eventa that are ap proaehing. Such are the proofs that are soon to appear of the error of the notion so generally entertained, that the powers ol the world are to be withheld by the ministry of men from this war on Christ's kindom, and the race, before he comes, won back from rebellion to righteousness. In the va<t train of events that is to work this change in the views the people of God cherish respecting his purposes towards our world, and the office they are to fill in recalling it to obe-dience, we doubt not, the a^tations. revolu-tions. and strifes that now convulse this na-tion, and threaten to plunge it into a fath-omlci s gulf of crime and misery, may have an imporUnt part.

For th» T»ni»m«»» BaptvL BRO. GBAVES — I received a le t ter from

:i fr iend and brotlier minister, dated May 15, from lower Ea.st Tennessee, which rai ls forth this article. I learn from that brother , whose name I will m t mention, that a bad state o) feeling is springipg up among members of the church f rom; oar na'ionaJ diScul t ies . Here is an extra'-t from the l e t t e r :

" Brethren in the church arc falling out. Those who contend for the Union as it i.* called, say that the disaniouists are traitors and rogues. They irave been threatening to hang some of us. 5Ien who were my best friends two months ago, are now my worst enemies. And some have even said, if I am for the St'Uth, I shall never preach in their -tand, unless I am a better man than they." Will the biethren of East Tennessee allow one who loves E^t Tennessee with her lofty hills and romantic mountains, her rippling streamlets and deep rolling rivers, her flowering valleys and cultivated fields, and above all one who loves the cause of Christ and ardently labors and prays for iU pros-perity, to speak a few words, not of tear, but of pence.

Dear Brethern of East Tennessee, for to you these lines are addressed ; should we fall out with each other because we honestly differ upon mere political issues, and ques-tions of national policy? Should we'brand our brother as a "traitor" or a "rogue." bccause he honestly differs from us upon the great questions that now agitate the public mind, and qucstionj^^o upon which the greate.>it men of the liation differ ? " Traitor aad rogui" are hard words, far too hard for brethren to apply to each other.

I entreat brethren to pause and think before they brand each ather with such epi-thets. In times of great excitement, when reason is dethroned and pasrion roles the day, brethren say things that they would not say for the world, when cool, calm and de-liberate. I beseech brethrea of East Ten-nessee not to give way to passion and in-dulge in hard sayings about each other. Do brethren x>f East Tennessee Want to see divided and distraeted Zion; ehurehea at war with each other, and membera of the same chureh quarreling and fighting with each other? If they do, let them call each other traitors and rogues, and ^ o s e dreadful calamities will soon be upon us. Brethren, the eause of Christ ^ H suffer enongh by the turbulent waves that now rock to and fro the ship of the State, without inauguratiilg a eivil war in the ehnreh. Bnt if brother ar> rays himself against .irrotherj the standard of God will trail in th^ dust, the eanker-wonn of death will gnaw at the heart o t the eltuf^, crime wUl increase, wiekedneM Wflk abroad narebukedraad .aianen roll dowa^to b ^ Brethren 1« ua sot ae( to madly, but let iu art Iik9 wiae men.

th.nt they are to fall l«eauie tbey have claimcd prerogatives that belong only to Christ and arrayed themselves! against him.

It is indicated also by the fall, immediate-ly after the resurrection, of Babylon, the symbol of the nationalized hierarchies of the Catholic church : for that implies that the resurrection of the witnesses is to prove that the civil governments have no rifrht to na rionalize the church; and that that church h-is no title to be regarded as the church of Christ

And thia finally is made indubitable, by the third angel, who, after the annouDcement of the fall of Babylon, utters a warninj: against any longer treating the behests of the beast and its image as authoritative. "Il any man worship the beast and bis image, and receive his mark on his forehead or on his band, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, and the smoke of their torment ascends for ever and ever." And it is added : " Here is the patience ol the saints ; here are tbey that keep the com-mandments of God, and the faith of Jesus And a voice from heaven said : Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from hence-forth ; yea, saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors," Rev. xiv. 9-13. There is to be a persecution, therefore, .nner the fall of the nationalized bicrarebies, and of so dreadful a character, that those who die in the Lord arc pronounced blessed, in comparison to those who still live: and the ground of the persecution is to be a refusal by those who keep the faith of Jesus, to ren der submission to the authority arrogated over Christ's disciples, by the civil rulers, and the hierarchies of the Cathode church. The question at issue in that persecution is accordingly to be. whether Christ is the sole lawgiver and king of the church; or, whether

Frecaattons. The Legislatures of some of our States

have already recommended our farmers to

to come and reign ori the earth, and over-throw bis usurping foes; as is shown by Revelation chap. six. that he is immediately to come and destroy the civil mlers and false teachers, who are arrayed against him.

There is thus to be a persecution of unex-ampled violence immediately before Christ's coming, in which the persecutors are to be the rulers and priests who deny his advent and reigii as the monarch of the world; and the victims are to be those who keep his word, and profess and teach that be is to come and and assume the sceptre of the earth, destroy his enemies, and redeem and bless those who own and trust him aj their Savlbr add King. And during that persMution all who are exposed to it, and undoubtedly those of God's children who gase at it from a dis Unce, ;will be filled with a sense of their powerlessn^ and be led to renounce all the false notions that are now eiitertained of a conversion of the world previoukly to Christ's coming, and Uuough the iBstrumentality of men.

plant this year extraordinary quantities of grain and grass. We heir from various points that this has been and is being done. Nothing should be neglectcd which will help to make the staple article of food abundant during the next two years. Our farmers should not only plant larger crops, of wheat and corn, but they would do well for them-selve ^ and for the country to cultivate, to greater than ordinary extent, certain other crops, the products of wbich are greailj con-sumed by soldiers and sailors.

Beans and peas, dried, form an important portion of the army antJ navy rations. They are only second in importance to bn-ad and ueat, and as helps to a healthy variation ol food, are of equal vital necessity. Large quantities of these articles will be needed for army provisions, and there is yet time for our farmers to prepare themselves to supply thi> demand.

Also, the farmers throughout the conttry will do well to reserve their calves from the batcher's knife. This is a point of great ifr.porfa.nce. With a large army io support we cannot too carefully "look after the sup-ply of beef. We suggest to our agricultural societies to uke some immediate and general actioain this matter. Many thousand calves aret^d and kiUed every month in thi.< coun-try. Our farmers will find it profitable to raise all the increase of their herds during the present year at least , and this is a mat-ter of prudence, by which patriotic etock-raisers and cattle-owners can do much to help the cause of the Union, for which our brave soldiers have gone to battle.

It is an article much t^eeded in all campaigns; and there ia little doubt that the operations of the rebels ha-e been embar-rassed by the lack of i t The South has al-ways drawn its supply of hay from the north-ern and eastern States.

Great ar-mies cannot b« moved witboot nnmerons teams, and probably the lack of bay was one not unimportant reason for a certain slowness of movement on the part of the rebel army, -hich has surprised our people, and now al-arms the traiton in Virginia.

Rebellion will not triumph for lack of patriots to dispute its progress and pnt it to flight from onr land. Bnt an army can iio nothing " ' the care of spare no pains to provide the necessary sup-plies for oar brethren who are doing battle for the Union. E ^ r r bi ' * " barrel of flour, evei^ bag or Deans and-peas, every tierce of beef and pork, every bale ol bay that can be added to our crop this should be raised.

Showing that the South was nearly iJkn* huMdrtd mltions richer than the West, and more than hco hundred miUitms richer than the North. And it muu be rememliered ihat the South has only twelve millions of pupn-latioa to provide foi, . while tha North and West have twenty miJUons.

The Boston Posteajt that the city of Boa-ton alone in one year, received from lhe»-lsve States, flour to the ?a!ue of-2,50(J,Wlft. of com to the value of 1.20(»,000, and nee to the value <500,000. The / W es-timates that New England buys ansually rf the South to the amount of <50,000;000.— And yet onr sharp Yankee brothers are *e-nously proposing to starve oat the South by cutting off supplies. It is very evident that somebody is a fool. If the provisions raised by the South are $15 per head of her popu-lation more than are raised hy the Norths how long will it Uke the North to starve out the South ? That is a nice little sum for Nr. Lincoln's cabinet to sohre. Wc must not forget that the South produces annually 4 000,000 Ules of cotton, which is always worlh in the European market <200.000,000 ia aoUd cash. We of the North have heretofore used 1,000,000 bales of the eotton of tha South. But suppose she should hereafter take it into hes head tc interdict the sale of a single bale of cottca to the Nerth, and should put hands into tbefiplds only to raiae the .3,000.000 bales reqaired for the European market devoting the rest of her labor t a -the grain prodoction» of her soil, who eait fail to see that then the longer the wsr would be protracted the worse itwould be for a t? " Instead of-«tarving out them' ws would starra out ourselves. Even if we could e ^ t u a l l y maintain a ten y w ' a blockade of the South, •he would i>e all the Ume.deyeloping her own internal r&sources, establishing minnfacto-ries of all articles she has heretofore bought of us; thereby rendering herself independ-ent of us £B time to come, and would actually come out of the hlacksde richer than she went in, while we would come out poor in-deed—not only drained in our means and crippled in our commerce, but our p-eat man-nfacturig capital would be entirely broken down, and universal bankruptcy would ernoh both our public and private credit It will be easy, we know, for iananies, ai>d msdmea to sneer at all thia—as easy as for dogs to bsrk at men in the streets—bat it ia oeter-theless a truth which we shall terribly real-ize. the way we are going on, when it will be everlastingly too late for repentance end good sense, either to save the Union, or onrselvea. The question for patriots and statesmen to •ry and solve in this crtsik. is not vJtfJt rrm ire do in the xcay of ntrrrying and rnvrderfmy tie South! hut tthat shall we do best to serve nttr eotoiiry. and oursrltes! Men who rave that tbey will spend their last dollar to pun-ish the &ntb. speak more literally than tbey realize. Passion and revenge are not goine to punish our enemies, BO much as they will puni.sh ourselves. War will never Fsve the Union, nor bring W k the Snancial and commercial prosperity w'hicb is clipping from nur OTsp. Onr children, who will not be blinded by passion, as we are, on this T=objeet will blush for us. and curse our memory that in one mad hour we threw sway the inheri-tance of the Union and the happiness of gen-erations.

urre»t« of their tiwp t-tate, ?ote4 " no U«n?eniion," or if Convention, " im I.'nion," and thus encouraged and bn>aj:ht upon us this very war of iuhjuiwjiun We have yet to see or hear of a leader of tbe Union party, who does not frankly acknowledge that if all the border a'tatea had promptly acted with the Cotton Sitates, there would hare been no war, but a reconstruction or peaceable separation. The Union votes of the border ftatea deceived Mr. Lin.wJn, encouraged him to make this w:ir, in tbe fuU confidence that the border Sutes would uphold him in it, and by their assistance the bolted States could be forced into submiMion, Your own position then, bpt a few months since, should teaoh joa forbearxnee. if your brother is a patriot, if he is mit at heart in favor of the ex termination of slavery, by nortiiem bayuoets, and the subjogation of the South, all be wants is to see things in their proper light—he wants Jaet* and arguments strong as demonstration, to convince his judgment, and then he will act like a patriot Tbe strongest, the most enthusiastic for separation toJay, those who hare left wife and children, and taken the musket and marched to the border to repel invasion, were the most bitter Union men a few months or weeks since—brethren i who stopped this paper because it plead for re-' s^stence to aggression and a United South. Be-tween the reading of this article and the hour you east your vote, you may by kindness and ar-gument, win over jour brother, if you address him afiMtionately. You should not denounce your brother or neighbors as a traitor and felon, because he is opposed to voting " .«KPxaATioN and aKPKESETTATiox." He is no more one than you were when yon voted ."no Convention" and " Unioa" He will vote, in your opinion, against the beet interests of his State and the South, and vote to enconrage Mr. Lincoln in his attempt to subjugate or exterminate the people of the South, as yon did in^our opinion last February ? But should the sover^gn people of this State by a majority vote on the 8th of June declare their independent of the o n Constitntion admrnistered according to Black Republican Construction, and declare their a l l i a n c e to the Provisional Government of the Soathem Confederacy, then the man who gives " aid and comfort by words or acts, will be ac-eordiag to the laws of natnre \ traitor, and will jttstly snbjeet himself to severe legal penalties. Tbe Cbde of Vir^nia defines treason to be " In levying wfr ^a inat the State adhering to ite eaemiaa, or givuig them ^ and comfort" Saeb treaam, if proved by two witnesaaa, is punishable
