In the receut elections tliey have be?n admonished Mint the South will not vubmitlo the triumph <jfa party identified with nnd endorsing the doctriue of the "irr<-|>re6sible conflict." Yet those ndmoiitiions have been i rented wuii contempt, and the advocates of Seward ism lmve trir.mphed in every free State where elections have been held during the present year, except in California. The .Richmond Examiner thinks that the time has pat>.?cd fur tin; indulgence of id'e cuecoimdini; resolution*, and that the next Leiji:"li.l II rn nlimil.l -.1.1 - ' hiuivm iisiMi curnrsnv 10 MIC State defence, and everj' emergency wliich inny i urine in I860.

Lot tho wholo course of tlie next. Legislature indicate what Virginia will do if ttectionalism shall triumph in its most odious and dangerous phase in 18C0. The Legislature will, we feel assured, faithfully reflect that ii-ioi:i?hiiig change which has taken place in the public sentiment of Virginia ?inco the treason, nmr or una insurrection ut Ilarper'u Furry. What that change in public sentiment is, it is ret necftsnry to state nt length, ns there is no seeUol. of Virginia where the people are not fully prepared for the most serious eonsctpieiiccs, if an advocate of the "irrepresilile conflict' triumph in 1800. Never was there such a 1 slate of feeling in Virginia before as there now is. Before this universal feeling of indignution, I conservatism, the L'nion scnti ueut, has melted ! like frost-work beneatd the rays of the sun. i From the Ohio to the Chesapeake,from North | Carolina to Maryland the people of Virginia j are ready fora dissolution of the Union, rather than huhir.it to the triumph of tlmt party, the natural conscquenees of whose horrildo doctrino were seen at Harper's Ferry in a cotisoi raey having insurrection, treason, murder and piling.: for ils objects. ATc would gladly, therefore, see (ho Legislature of Virginia devote the whole of its lime to the subject# t" which we have alluded, until tho work of preparation for the contingency to which we have referred is completed. The action of Viiginiit will, in our opinion, he followed liv thnt of the rest of tiie slave j State, ?nd long before tho Presidential election of 18f>0 takes place, the North will discover that the slave Stutcs have reached the last point of forbearance in patient endurrnec of the most atrocious wrongs. The ma lignaut and cowardly miscreants who aro now encouraging the people of the North to insult the South, will, from those preparations, discover that Virginia is readv to co-o|>ernto with her aistt-rs ?>f the South in refusing to submit to the degradation of being'ruled over' by nil Abuli tioni6t of tlic 'irrepressible conflict/ school. MASONIC.

There was a larger attendance of delegates at this session of the Grand Lodge than has ever been known since its organization.

Haxlett ALARM IRQ INTELLIGENCE. The following is the substance of the . teleprnph and letters received by the ExcciitjUpe of Virginia. which will be found interesting at this particular time: Col. Davis, in Charlestown, telegraphs to Mr. Barbour,.at Harper's Ferry, to telegraph the Mayor of Alexandria to call Capt. M. Marye, of the Mouut Vcr.'ion Guards, to his aid immediately. Mr. Barbour adds, to the Maj-or of Alexau* dria, (hat the message to hiin rt-ported 260 armed men encamped at Berryville Ford. This wnsall Mr. Barbour knew of the cafe. Capt. Marye telegraphed that he would lnnvn * o'clock, Friday morning. Co!. Stewnrt nnd ! Mnj. Duffy liolh trlrgmpliod the Govcnor, ro| *jiu*tii.g orders to take two companies and lite nrlillcry. The Governor lias given tlie orders to move immediately virion tile Rerrvvtlln Foril titiUk* information guided tlicm otherwise. Col. PnvU telegraphs to Governor Wise to order not the cavalry, which has been done. Col. Davis says "there is a guerilla wur here; the property of five of the best citizens has been hurnl." Upon this the Governor has ordered the 1st Regiment (Richmond) to b? in readiness, and they were awaiting orders last night. Thin alarm confirms nnonymous communications received hy the Executive in the last two days, warning him of the intended raids in difi'ei cut squads along thu borders of Virginia mm iyoiilucky, ue is also warned of an Ali1 iI-ion scheme which limy be in concoct, ion lo' kiditnp and spirit, nwny prominent e.itir.ens or members of their famil ies', and to keep the in or hostages for the pardon of the culprits. And he is warned to keep himself nli<i his | friends on their guard, and that it is prudent j for Virginia, in concert with Maryland, to augi mt'iit the (oree near (Jharlestown and Harper's I Ferry, as the duvs of the executions aniiroaeli: fuitl Hint the AftoSilionirita nro eortniiil}* tnrnporing with nnd exciting the free nogrors at various points iu tlic JNorlh, to some deeporntc attempt. In view of every thing Mirroundingthe State nnd its border, it will be ncessary. for the people IIO^ to flock in crowd* to the scene of tlio execution*. The times when they occur, will be the very times when the homcstenda on the border will be most threatened with torches, Lot those not under nrms nt tho executions band together as gu.ir?1.4 of the border.

THE NEWS FBOM CHARLESTOWN The Richmond Knqnircr of Monday says that 'in compliance with despatches received from Col. Davis, Governor Wise, oa Saturday night' proceeded to Charlestown accompanied by llic First Ilegiment from Richmond, and two companies from Petersburg. Rumors of recent date having been extensively circulated, and letters in very large numbers fi om-rcsponsitjle persons in the Northern Slates hiving been received by Governor Wise, informing him of extensive preparations for a rescue being made, lie determined to prevent an attempt by showing that it would be worse than folly to make it. The Slate will vindi caie uie juuginai 01 tier uourts uy executing tlie criminals, and her Executive is too vigilant to suffer the disgrace of a resoue, by not heeding the warning that comes to him for a thousand sources."
