reputation saw men, yesterday, from Rhode Island,

provincial accent interfering in our elections say,
can Virginians stand this indIgnity! For one, am
determined to resent every such insult let it come from
whom it NAV, though should hazard my life the at

spark Of State PRIDE if he is willing to sanction tins m

their operations, for the purpose OF controlling the
State: If go, it is time for every true Republican to
