A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.
ruE PRESIDENTIAL soMIsArIos.

The Northern Wing papers have run up the Har-
| rson flag, and long, loud note Of approval peals
| from every quarter OF the North and East. Not
whisper oil disapprobation blends with the universal
| shout Differentiation to stand by the nominee All
Is well In the region OF Old Bunker Of Trenton and
| Saratoga, and glorious Is the greeting which they
send to the soil made free by the blood which was
shed at Tippecanoe and the Thames. Well may
the despo Of party trembe at the omens which come
thick and fast upon him. But there is OF direr,
more certain import for him yet 10 hear-and in the
roar Of applause which will break from the West,
over the mountain barriers, laundering and pealing
along The vallies Of the Atlantic slope, swelling
advances to the coast by the reiterated victor cry OF
the Ocean States, he will recognise the knellof his
destiny
In Virginia the rally cry is" STAND By Tus NO
MNATioN" and well will that cry, The test Of principle,
be Iespondedlo To depart iseR sse6 KaJs
made it their boast maintain, and 10 prove them
selves orshiPpers Of men and bond sdpes faporite
Aye STAND BY THE NOMINATION Stand by il in The
| name OF the Republicanism you would vindicate
from the assaults hourly and daringly made upon
its purity Stand by il in the name Of that Constitu-
ton which has become the Jest OF the tyrant and his
bond followers. In the name Of official honesty,
| now become mockery, and foucd as goblin tale
of that freedom OF Elections which is now almos, ex
unct-ol that independence Of thought and action,
which party despotism has almost annihilated-ot
that commercial prosperity, which has been brought
by vicious experimenters to the verge Of ruin--of
that public virtue which, once TOO sensitive TO brook
tamey the worst, most aggravated and contumelious
injuries at the hands of public men-of that old JEFF
ersonian sternness and Republican simplicity which
tolerated not the appearance Of Executive intrusion
on the sanctitY of elections-sTAND BY THE NoMINA-
| TON!
Anti-Tarff men and Anti Bank men OF Virginia,
you will be called on by the destroyers of American
Liberty, morals and prospery,to repudiate the can
didae Of the opposition. You will be reminded of
your hostility 10 the protective system and to Ma
Iona Bank and you will be assailed by every arti-
| fee, threat, and argument which Van Burenism can
concoct to draw you from the support Of the opposi-
| ton candidate. But your inquiry will be, whiiher,
oh, teachers, will you lead ,us 7" ITO Van Buren,
| ism, will be their response.
| And what is Van Burenism but direct surrender
OF that purse TO the Executive which National Bank
| could put in his power only by hdirectiun-bnd
support Of man who has voted for the worst of all
oil the Protective Tarifls-aye that bill of abomina.
lions which kindled the fires of Cueton ill lhey
blazed out in the wiid-fre of armed resistance and
Modification The Cumberland lol-gate is the
standard of Van Buren, orthodoxy and the exclu-
sion OF Missouri and Florida fromsthe Union the
| pledge OF Van Buren, attachment to the Soulh.
These things have never been forgotten by vou
and can never be forgotten. Not in the weakness
and decrepitude OF the monster of usuIpaton-thun-
der-seamed as he is by the bolts of Republican dis
| pleasure will The Republicans of Virginia bind
themselves to his service and restore him 10 cundi-
lion 10 make war upon his country. They like
their brethren OF the East, the North and the West
while the struggle lasts, will stand by the Nominal
ton. Let none despair OF the event The Virginian
by birth, the relative Of the most opulent of
Virginia shareholders can beat the illustrous exile
from Undertook, and will beat him, IL the Wings
are true to their professions.
