"The conspiracy aude to being about to be consum
mated in Virginia. is the unhallowed and unnatural com.
bination of the White and Harrison parties in Virginia.
in order (basely, dishonesty and ngloously) TO wrest
the State from the hands Of the majority, and in vioa-
ton of the spirit and intent of the Constitution to give
the electoral vote Of Virginia to White or Harrison,
who to each other artipodes in principles, and
either of whom must be elected if elected at ALL by
small fraction of the vote of the State. The plan is,
that both parties 10 support the same ticket,
dorsing the name Of Harrison or White on the back
and if Harrison is the greater the whole goes for
him; if White is the greater of the two why the vote
of the ticket is given 10 him. and il both combined i've
only ten votes mole than Mr. Van Buren,, the State slo
be dishonesty, dishonoraby and in violation of every
principle Of justice and The will OF the People, given ton
minority candidate. But let exemsify: We will
say that So 900 viii be given in November that
Mr. Van Buren, will receive "a 900, White II 5G0 and
Harrison 1880, together making 2S 600 for the Hydra
headed monste SO You see the infamous result OF this
base conspiracy IA 500 votes for Waite, (Which, is
all his strength in Frginia not only carries the 3 500
given to Harrison, but also carries the q DJ given
TO MIR. Van Buren,; making 1850 carry the State
against 40500 This is one of the plans OF an unprin
cpled and reckless opposition 10 elect Bank Presi
dent by the division Of the Democracy, knowing
that Southern prcjudices against Northern will
influence of the Administration party still TO adhere
White, but not sufficient number to weaken the
party much as to defeat MIR. Van Burens election
never liked the that used to take the Stale
Of North Carolina from Crawford DO believe that
the people will sanction such unpriacipled combina
ton of the weaker parties to defeat the will Of maio
ri,y; do believe they Will 60 blindfolded to the
polls, not knowing who they voting for. They had
well rattle for President at once; for is if The
beast with two heads carries The State they know not
which it will be- Harrison, the Bank anti masonic -aLo
htion candidate, Judge White, the anti Bank, anti
abolition slavery anything nothing, both sides any
side, and no side and disgrace 10 all sides The De
mocrats have eschewed him long since; and the Wings
are getting sick of him.
In fact Harrison and Granger are the men for the
panlcs and were not for the pledges given by the Bank
Wings 10 support White they would all 10 a man sup.
port Harrison but Harrison opinions on the subject Of
slavery, ana ms holding no constitutional scruples
against and holding the expedency that, Con ounht
to appropriate the whole OF the surplus to free
blacks and the purchase of slaves for the snme
TO say nothing Of the unconstutionay Of the messnr
md the spirit Of abolition aud misguided philanthropy
its utter inexpediency is apparent TO every one WGv
sir surprising the surplus TO be 900 per annum
allowing for increase in slaves it would take Ave hun
dred wears to accomplish their emanc patton accordn
to the Generals plan. So away with your old grannes
White and Harrison; petticoas would suit them better
than the Presidential robes and instead of imposing on
them high honors and duties they cannot discharge the
people had better leave granny Harrison home his
old age to feed the Chickens and granny White to hun,
up the little spotted pig; and let US, will assurediy
do elect MIR. Van Buren, the statesman, the unwaverng
Democrat, the incorporating opponent of the United
States Bank and as inaexble as the Allegheny noun
sans in his opposition to any attempt the part Of Con-
gress to interfere with slavery in the District of Column
