STATE RIGHTS.

The State Of Virginia has some character {:
in This respect she differs from most of her
sister States. Too many Of the leading men
in The other States are trimmers and i'm. ser.
yers, sordid, selfish and iiinid. The Virgin
ians sometimes indeed err in judgment-rhey
do not claim to be infalIible but they are
justly entitled To the praise of independence.
consistency, and sincerity. Others are poll
tic aud cunning, and Of course soon dsirus-
ted and suspected, even when they are right.
The Virslnlans pursue an open, honest, mao
w, and honorable policy, aud Of course they
acquire influence and confidence.
Virginia may henceforth be in opposition
to the national administration. Such an opo-
sitIon would be sslutary-an opposition party
vs. as necessary To = Republic as weights 10 a
clock. High prerOgatise doctrines are at pre-
sent too fashionable add prevalent among the
sycophants and courliers Of this era Of good
feelings and bad principles. To Virginia onl,
we look Tor courage ard vigilance to resist en-
croacbmfDts on the constitution.
