Our people have already contributed a large number of arms to the Confederate States, and they can have no oojeotion to giving or selling as many more arms as they can spare; but the President has no right to a proper responsibility. As this lady says through the Standard, "Of all person's living the ladies are the portion of our community who need the strong arm of the law, and the most striol observance of all its rules for their protection What then Can we say when they thenuelve are the very first to trample under foot that law, the observance of which, alone, is the only, the forlorn hepe of protection for them? I am astonished 1 am alarmed for tbe dire consequences that may result therefrom. Depart from the observance of the law, and liberty, safety, every thing is gone.
