Freemen Of Virginia Now 10 the
time to throw of the miserable tram

nothing but the virtue Of the people

nble consequences.
VICE PRESIDENT or THE U. STATES.
Little up 10 this time has been said
% to the second Office which the peo-
pie Of Virginia will be called upon 10
oil IN November next-snd yet its i'm
|portance is scarcely secondary 10 the
first. While the .pirit O: abolition il
making rapid progress in the north. and
the country 10 threatened with multi
tudinous petitions praying the abolition
Of slavery in the District Of Columbis.
10 II not all important that the South
should give its support 10 some one ss
Vice President known 10 DO hostile 20
abolition. and thereby. if the matter
comes 10 the worst. be secured in the
casting vote Of the Senatei
L. IL not also important that one
known 10 be favorable TO the admission
OF Texas into the Union should be elect
ed Vice President. of the u. States p
No question will be more important TO
che South Than this. The accquisition
Of Texas will give her the preponder-
ance into the Union upon fair terms.
The Senate or the u. States. upon this
question ,s likely TO be divided. and the
Vice President may have the casting
vote.
Is il not important. for many other
reasons. that Virginia should not throw
away her vote for The Vice Presidency.
All will readily answer in the afEirma-
tive. She has been shorn already Of
too much Of her proper influence.
What, then. is the real condition Of
things in regard 10 that Officer Both
parties in Virginia. the Van Buren, and
Anti Van Buren,. refuse 10 vote for
Richard NJ. johnson. The Van Buren,
party. true TO their tactics. have nomi-
mated Judge Smith. Of Alabama. Il
there any chance Of his election. He
Is nominated no where else, and at the
most. he will receive none other than
the vote Of Virginis-in other words,
this is q trick TO induce Virginia 10
throw away her vote contrary to the
plainest policy, in order that Richard
VI. Johnson may profit thereby. She
had as well vote for the man in the
moon rs Judge Sn.ith-he has not the
most distant prospect OF bring elected.
The fact Is, that the contest for the
Vice Presidency lies between Richard
NJ. johnson. OF Kentucky, Francis
Granger. Of New York. and John Tyler,
Of Virginia. Col. Johnson will not be
voted for in Virginia, and is therefore
out OF the question with her, and tbs
people have in truth TO decide between
Francis Granger and John Tyler.
lfMr. Tyler receives the vote Of Vir-
ginia. his election may be regarded rs
certain. He will go TO the Senate as
one Of the highest voted for, and
the vote Of that body, il may confident
ly be relied on. will be given to him.
Why shall not Virginia vote for John
TyIer' He has served her faithfully
for more than twenty years in various
stations. and has finally left his seat ia
The Senate with . lcng period Of his
term unexpired. 10 obedience TO the
wishes Of the Legislature. Could any
man have furnished stronger evidences
Of devotion To his principlesl eteach
voter then decide whether he prefers
10 throw away his vote for the indirect
advancement Of Richard NJ. johnson,
(for whom he will not vote openly, J
rather than vote loT such q man IS John
Tyler. That end, if desired. can be
accomplished even on the ticket that
does not carry his name. by wniing it
on the back as an authorized instruc-
ton to the electors in that particular.
