Times are alarming—civil dif- \ fention, if not adual civil war,! may beexpcdled. Nobody can miflake the meaning of Taylor of Caiolina. He is the prime mover, and is lurrounded by thole who move pietty much as he direds. One* week more, and all their projeds will be out. A bill is oidered to be brought into the houfe, arraying the Hate's judges againfl thofe of the United States, in cafes that may occur under the avowed objed of which is to let at liberty any perfon who (hall be profecuted under that ad. c ‘ Taylor's refolutions, which you have fecn—Nicholas's fub llituted in place of thofe propof ed by George K. Taylor—the appeal, or addrefs to the people, and the bill ordered to be brought in, will fill up the mea hire of hoflility on the part of this Hate againfl the United States, The government of the United States mufl proted itfelf, or yield to the force of Virginia. Such open hoflility cannot and mull not be palfed over in fxlence. Another project is before the houfe, for arming enmafje all the militia of the commonwealth. 1 This is alfo the fcheme of Tay lor and his party —and who can doubt the objed ? It is not to prepare to defend the nation againh a foreign foe, for this party boldly allert, that there is no fuch danger to be apprehended. What then is this objed ? The refolutions mentioned, a£ls con templated, and the manifello to the people, are the bell elucida tions." [Can any one read the above extrad and not fhudder at the confequcncc ? Is Mr, Taylor himfclf aware of them ? g ut whatever may be thought of it by other parts of Virginia, it \ s truftcd that the citizens of the Northern Neck, however dife. greeable the alternative, will noc hefitate about adhering to the Union, and relinquifhingall con neftion with thole who unfortu, nately (hall fubmit to meafurcs fo hoflile to its tranquility.] BALTIMORE, February 2, A P.
