Sounded at Salem but two days before Mr., Webster
addressed the motley multitude at Alexandra. Hear
this last voice. 1t is The voice of 4 Republican and a
Patriot:
The Democracy Of New England and Of Massachr-
sotis are on the gam even under the almighty pressure
of one Kind and another brought 10 bear on the people.
The parties in Massachusetts are so equally divided,
that there is some little doubt, perhaps, what the result
viii be. II is very certain both parties Will gam, and
whichever - rs most VIII carry the day. Our pros
meets. IT is vrrr Diatu. are IMPROVING every day. and our
men are determined to carry the State, il il can possibly
be done. There i one circumstance aboit the position
ot N.rriaa cute rgnarh,ble-tha is, that the genius Of
her people should ever have permitted the least shadow
Of Gpuat To tNI>t rs to her inh~Nib.e devotion 10 the old
Virginia pr.uarptcs-the principles of the Revolution
the principles of her WashInTton,h her Jefferson, her Ma.
olson and her Monroe. What! Virginia which was wont
to point the way, and the whole Union would follow with
patriotic misunderstanding the ~principlcs she was the
first to maintain and establish principles on which she
has borne the standard of victory in a brilliant series Of
triumphs, from the very outset OF the Constitution
Virginia! noble, gallant and chivalrous Virginia! after
fifty wears mistaken devotion to the American princi.
Piles of Democracy, at last TO sink Into the slough of
Hartford Convention Federalism, and tfrcklc to the lead
Of Massachusetts,; for no one doubts Mr., Webster Will
be de facto at the head Of Harrison administration,
that a few people fancy may exist, some day or other:
it cannot, it will not be. Nirginians Will never see the
brilliant halo Of triumpIs in the cause Of correct princi-
pies furnished, which enc!rcle her reputation, By help
M 10 elevate 4 man 10 the Presidency, who possesses
no principles, nor sympalhics in common with Virginia,
or the Union.
Citizens Of this proud and patriotic Commonwealth,
it is for you to give the answer in November next.
A letter from Washington OF the 10Th says, "Pros.
poets brigh,ening-Whig stock on the decline: and by
