The Governor of this Commonwealth

lation of persons to I'LL the Offices of Prcsi-
dent and Vice President of these u. States
this General Assembly, actuated by pro-
per respect for the state aforesaid, but en-
pertaining a different opinion from that
expressed i'm the said Preamble and Reso-
utions, deems it highly proper TO give pub
lefty to its sentiments on subject now
peculiarly interesting. In doing SO, il dis
claims all narrow aud selfish views. Con
as Virginia does, an integral part
Of the Union, she looks with a single eye 10

she has ever been, ready to sacrifice all To-
cal attachments and individual preferences

Presidency, each zealously supported by
his Immediate adherents, enlistng in his
behalf sectional feelings and local attach
ments, we are threatened with internal
schism foi the time, aud incur the risk Of
engendering angry feelings among the DIFF
lerent portions of the country, the effects
of which may be more lasting than human
foresight can determine. Jealousy at the
success of ers-disappoiotmen and
MULTIPLICATION at the defeat sustained, will
not be confined TO few prominent parti
zans. but will be diTused among the gre Il
mass of the Electoral body. But IT, x,
