THE SOUTH.
The Richmond Enquirer, and all the Van Buren papers in Virginia, are still silent on the subject of Abolition. Not a word is said in opposition to the resolutions adopted in the New York Legislature. If Virginia, if the South, shall be too pusillanimous to contend for her rights, it cannot be expected that other sections of the Union will interfere. As soon as a submissive and craven spirit is manifested by the South, no one will sympathize with her, and the furious fanatics will have full sway.
If the Richmond Enquirer will not speak out in condemnation of the Abolition resolutions recently passed in the New York Legislature, we will publish them in an extra, and the votes on them. We will place them in the hands of every voter in Virginia, and without delay.
