They also appeal to South Carolina to desist from any meditated secession—that Virginia believes the constitution sufficient for the rem»- dy of aif grievamees, and invokes all who live under it to auhe it, and to preserve inviolate its suteguards, whilst they express the belief that the eom- promise moasures, if fairly executed, will restore to the country (hat hamnony and confidence which of late has been so mbappily disturbed.
