KING WTLLL2M-The Democratic Sandard.br0rer
If there be any counties in this renowned old Com
monweath that deserve the name Of Tenth Legion II
is Rockingham and Shenandoah: Anc though the
Richmond Wing may attempt to stigmat'ze their IN
abtants as of SuQban Descent whose ancestors never
could be made to understand the principles OF constr
tuiional liberty yet in the late contest the descend,
ants have proved to the world that they understand
The fundamental principles dear 10 every true VrgI,
man, much better than the Editors of the Richmond
Wing. This too, they have done, after a fashion
which would have won for them, even if not hereto
io.e conceded the proud title by which they are de-
signated. But whilst almost every consistently Demo
cratic county in the State has accorded to it some no.
norary appellaton. it is little surprising that King
William, which has supported the Republican par
