VIRGINIA..

The influence of the Ancient Dominion in mi.
confederated Republic has been great and az.
~knowledged. In all political questions; in al
matters affecting the honor, the happiness ny
the interests ofthe States, this influence has been
felt-sometimes, we cannot but believe. TO II.
injury of the country; but often, often for it,
welfare. The fortunes of the old Common
wealth have been various; but even whilst j..
importance in numbers and enterprise has bear
lessened, the charm which formerly attached i
self to even the name of Virginia still unoar,
around it, and contributes to keep alive that 70
spect which, we trust, may always be extended
to a State so patriotic and distinguished.
There is that in the Virginia character which
must operate as a redeeming spirit in the pubIic
affairs ofthis country. The people ofVirgini.
we speak of them generally, have a vast STAKE
in the Government. They ventured their all IN
establishing and confirming the Constitution.
hence they are onstitutionalists- Republican
without a faint Of Jacobinism-friends of or.
der, without being advocates of Force and
Power. They are, too, high-minded and iatd-
Hgent; possessing a knowledge of their duties
as well as their rights.
To the Old Dominion, then, do We look, here.
after, for that firm and commanding attitude IN
all public affairs, which she ought to maintain
Especially do we hope that she may exert her
conservative strength against the encroachnens
of power--exert it, not in a rash, ~factious spi.
rit-not in a tone which may excite anger. nor
in a manner which may lead to dificulty-not
by notification, nor secession, nor any violent
means-but in the calm, dignifed display Other
moral energy, put forth in defence of rational
liberty and the perpetuity of our Republican sys-
tenn Of government.
