Galt's statue of Jefferson. We referred briefly, a few days ago, to this remarkable work of art, executed by Mr. Galt for the University of Virginia, and which is now in this city. We confess that our highest expectations were far surpassed by an achievement which, in our humble judgment, places Alexander Galt among the firsung Virginian; but we never anticipated such a magnificent triumph as this statue — a work which is glorious to its author, to his native land, and worthy of Thomas Jefferson.--The marble of which it is made is probably the most superb block ever brought to Virginia, and if the work itself is inferior in any one respect to the besmmortal figures on the Washington Monument, we confess we do not know what it is. A portion of the costume of the statue is copied from the clothing worn by Jefferson, and now in the possession of the sculptor, who has every article of the wearing apparel of his illustrious subject, all of which is yet in an excellent state of

ty of the Christian and the patriot, however remote might be the danger, to resist it in its incipiency. The danger, he believed, was impending, and the present was the time to avert it. The people of Albemarle, where reposed the remains of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, had declared, when the cloud first appeared, that it was time to make another Declaration of Independence. He went on to advert to the history of the Constitution of the country. When that indeavored to secure for us our best interests. He did not, therefore, intend to depart from the programme which he laid down previous to the election. The resolutions were referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Osburn, of Jefferson, by leave, presented some resolutions adopted on the 15th inst., by the citizens of Harper's Ferry and Bolivar, in that county. They say they have not changed their sentiments since the election, and still go for the Union; they moreover depre

rethren, all have similar positions. These Churches all flourish in Virginia. The Episcopal Church says nothing on the subject. The Methodist Episcopal Church South, in 1858 swept everything from their Discipline. Only in 1858. Yet, in the lectures of Bascomb, published at Nashville, that Church says: "The system of slavery originated in blood and murder." Dr. Smith, in his book, says: --"That the right of property in man is nowhere sanctioned in the Bible." George Washington, Monroe, Jefferson, Letcher, Summers, and other Virginia statesmen, said similar things, years ago. Virginia has had the moral courage to come out and repudiate her antecedents. Shall the Baltimore Conference have the moral courage to do likewise? Don't put in the plea that a new doctrine is the cause of the dissolution, no more than the election is the cause of South Carolina's going out of the Union. Tell the truth. The true causes of our dissolution are, 1st. The abolitionism of the North; 2d. The d

themas against the tyrant of Macedon, or of the time when Cicero pleaded the cause of the poet Æchais. It was at this debate, on the Stamp Act in 1765, that Thomas Jefferson imbibed those principles which ten years later were embodied in the Declaration of Independence.

Every school boy knows the story of her struggles and her triumph; her Washington, her Henry, her Jefferson, and her Madison, are enshrined in the hearts of grateful millions. We must now turn from Virginia past to Virginia present and future — from what she once sts of the State? Alas! we see nothing like this. Virginia seems to have lost the spirit of the Revolution. Her Henrys, her Lees, her Washingtons, and her Jefferson, are dead.
