'ou'iuS Dy DIVISION OF the upper ConnucS,

W.. Even tbs measure has been general

an III grace. Tney seem to have forgotten
that their Course would be attributed 10 un

power whlchihey, rs the Representatives
OF the low country, enjoyed. Yet all this
mad not excited any general cling OF re-
sentiment among the patient Inhabitants OF
the West.
They loved Virginia for herself:as an in
tcgral part Of the state they loved the whole
AM wncn her shores were inva ed, they
were not oaly prompt in obeying the cali
OF Government to arms, but they poured
"us the flower of their population, in vo-

thren OF the sea-coast. This was as it
should have been ! love them for it: &
you should love them too. l will venture
to say, that your feeling heart could not
have resisted the appeal for justice, had it
oeen made TO you IN person by any one OF
the hundreds of en.ac;a;ed and war and
heart-sick soldiers, W ,th whom your roads
were strewed. at the conclusion of the war
men, who lsft their native mountains, IN
al the vigour Of mountain health who
marched with alacrity TO the fatal climate
which was the seat OF war; who had seen
many poor comrade, from tie same ives
tern isna, expire, ingloriousiy with disease,
instead OF dying the death of the brave
and who were now slowly bending their
way q journey of 500 miles) to bear to the
bereaved some tidings of their lost compa-
,.~,I
breathing out noble spirit in the arms of
their connections and friends. Could YOU
have met such man, whose rough out
side might obscure, though it could not
coeceal, the nobleness of his heart had
he addressed you IN the pathetic language
even OF the wretJ he'd African, 3" Am not
nan and brother ;" with what sensati
| ons could you have resisted the powerful
appeal to your justice and liberality BY
the blood of MS ancestor, split in your re-
volutionary struggle, nc would caa on you
FOR JUSTICE. In the name Of that
treedOa :, you love, he would call on
You FOR JUSTICE in the name of all
he holds dear; of the offspring whom he
is soon to leave as the iEheritor of burdens
alone; of the children OF a comrade to
whom, i'll the solemn hour or death he hath
sacrediy promised to be father by the
services he has rendered you, by the life
which has wastediu your dcieace, he would
call upon you FOR JUSTICE. And
what IS that JUSTICEs Equal rights.
The same rights with yourself That e
quality which to withhold from you, would
rouse all the man within voH. That G.
quality which our fathers took up arms
to acquire, and which their sons have
right to claim as their own. Could you
resist such an appeal l am sure you
could not. Nature has in vain intermin-
g]ed with your character whatever can be
admirable OF high and generous feelings,
OF nice and scrupuious hononr, OF love of
justice and liberty, of respect for the rights
of others, and Of warm AID exalted sym
patty, if you would hesitate to cuncede a
demand thus supported by all that WAS
just, and enforced by al that Was mer.to-
rious.
and yet the appeal TO Legislative Jus
tice has been infinitely moro strong. lis
not IN humble and isolated Individual, who
has appeared at their bar petiuoning for
justice il is the oNEHAIF ofthe nation,
soliciting for justice of tie other-pleading
their rights as freemen, their Claims as
Git zens, their services as soldiers. their
merits as individuals, their sufferings in
common cause, and their enabating zeal ia
the service of their country and yet these
rights. these claims. these merits have hi
rherto failed TO find countcnance in the
sight ofthe Legislative body.
