Yes, Sirs, Virginia is not yours Although the
Baltimore American Of lat Monday says,
the, belief nj present il thai Harrison has the
State by 1000 at least; yet be assured, the boot
IL "a tho other leg. lie has lost il by more than
l0e0. Although the Boston Courier" may

om her," True, you have done without Va,
because she would net lend her hand 10 such
doing. Bot who cares Look almg your whole
lire, and ask euch of them "who cares" Ask
Daniel Webster why he came to Richmond and
does he care Ask John Sergeant why he went
TO Yorktown--and does he care Ask your
Hunting Shirt Leslie Combs, why he came to
VMgnia--and does lie care Ask them all.who
came TO invade the State, aud carry her by
storm eli eloqucnce, whether they care ASK
the great Wing Convention Of the 9Th October,
who came with their professions aud then ban.
aeIs TO carry tho State, whether they care Ask
tho numerous O1ators,~ho have tra,npoosrd over
the land, whether they catcl Ask W. G. Rlves
whether he caresl Cares! Why, there is not
man Of them, who dues not care. General Will
IAN Henry Harrison cares. John Tyler cares.
Then whole Clique in Virginia cares. The De
mocracy IN other States care. Tho chiyalry of
South Carolina care. Every Republican in the
South, who feels bis defeat, but who looks be.
yond the presen, moment for the redemption Of
bis county, cares Martin Van Buren, cares
and acknowledges, with respec, which shows
his good feelings, that he cares for The compll.
