Question Of separation at this fine? We
know that BIZ the existing constitution there
has been transfer of the political power
from the sea board to the middle country.
May VIC not therefore calculate, with some
certainly, on a change in the policy OF the
Government more favorable than hereto
fore to the Western interests? Those with
whom the mower is now deposited
with their proximity have interests in
common with Us. Some intercourse and
connexion with US, and some knowledge
ofour local situation and wants-and is 1t
not reasonable 10 believe that there will be
wisdom enough TO abandon the principle
avowed by Judge CoALTER, and so per-
tinaciously adhered to by the Legislature,
that "the interests Of Virginia are ldeniI-
Cal and the same, and as a cOrallary from
it, that no Internal improvements ought to
be allowed in the State that did not con-
duct IFS trade 10 the city Of Richmond
Candour compcls us to admit that liberal
principle gained seine ground under the
new constitution, and may we not hope
that their march ls onward; in a few years
more, and the time will arrive, when under
the Constitution we can again assert our
rights to that equality in the Government
for which we have commended; until then let
us calmly and patiently perform our duties
as good citizens, and by that means de-
serve success, If we 90 not obtain It.
It's only necessary TO add that should a
resort to separation be ultimately adylsa-
bic, annexation to Maryland IS out of the
question. The cause of orr present diff
culies. arises from the existence of slave
~ and its great preponderance IN the Eas-
tern part the State; We have no right TO
renroach them with ~. and u Will be found

unity 10 pennsylvania and ONO, and the
