LEESBuRG, June 18th, 1910.
1t affords me much pleasure 10 inform yon, that
even in old Loudnnn, the fort and camp of Federal
Whiggery, our little Democratic Band is firm and I'M
shaken, and ready for the fight in November next, and
though assailed on all sides and At all times By the
modern Wings, with their puerile shafts of humbug
panic, such as Standing Army, odIous Sub-Treasnry,
&c, &C., we are still determined 10 remain enlisted,
under the Democratic Republican banner, as unturled
by the immortal Jefferson, and waited BY the breeze
Of liberty Ger a free People, with the sacred princI.
Piles Of State Rights inscribed upon it. Yes, We are
resolved, in defiance OF the Federalism and hard CIDER
intoxication, of Loudoun, TO support the Democracy
of Virginia, and record our votes for Martin Van Bu-
rem of New York, the Northern man with Southern
feelings and principlcs-yea, the People's man, with
American and patriotic feelings; and & give you some
little evidence of the zeal we are nanitestin. in the
great cause of Democracy, we held 4 meeting on
Monday last in the Courthouse, and adopted som,
spirited resolutions, which will no dnuh, be- sent YOU
for publication. The meeting being Il public one, was
interSpersed with Wings, and upon The adoption of the
resolutions, Mr.. l.. l.. Carter rose, and spoke for Sc.
veral hours, and admirably exposed the fraud, trichcTy,
chicanery and inconsistency of the Wing party, ana
received shouts OF applause from the whole meeting
The Wing Elector for this District being present, was
invited to reply; bit the ingenuity and political fnesse
of the distinguished Elector and Log Cabin advocate,
though calculated on most occasions TO make ''the
worse appear the better reason, and even on this
occasion, worthy of his usual acutcness, could not re-
flute facts, because they ,eere stubborn things. We can
not promise you 10 carry old LOuGoun IN tie fall; in.
deed, it would be strange, passing strange, if the Fe-
deral county Of Loudoun, the warm supporter of the
Black Cockade Notwithstanding defender of the
Alien and Sedition Laws-the admirer of the short,
but pernicious Dynasty of John g. Adams-the op.
poser of Jefferson, and the whole Democracy Of the
Cnion-the opposer of the Resolutions of % and
SO, and of the war of lSl2, could BY any posi-
bility be induced TO vote for SO staunch and sterling a
Democrat as Mr.. Van Buren,. No-"Ephriam is Joined
to his idols, let him alone" Loudoun has never been
with US, but always against us; and should she, at this
late day, march her Federal, nav, almost Royal ranks,
to join the Democracy ofthe land, while there IS a Fed
in the field, our little Spartan Band, at so unusual and
remarkable a phenomenon, On the moment of surprise,)
would exclaim, "Angels and Ministers of Grace de-
fend u.s. But, Sir, we will promise you, eren here,
to give Van Buren, 4 larger vote than he received
in 1886, and from what we can hear of the adioin-
pidly advancing and we are Of opinion, that there
is no doubt OF Nirginia's casting Der vote for Mar.
tin Van Buren, by & decided majority. That Eir.
ginia will desert the prime Piles OF her forefathers,
we cannot, we will not believe No. There seems
to be a confidence in every Democratic bosom, that
old Virginia will never support a Fcderalist for
the Chief Magistracy of the nation, and will not, no,
cannot, give her faithful Democratic sons reason TO la.
ment the degradation of an apostacy, $50 much wished
for by the Wings Of the present day. as by recording
her vote for Gen. VIM. II. Harrison. Democratic Vir.
ginia! we call upon you, in the name of your own Re-
publican sons; we call upon you in the name Of our
beloved country, which is now threatened with an at
tack from the solid phalanx of Federalism-yes, we
call upon you, in the name Of patriotism and the sacred
cause we advocate, to be at The polls in November mex
We invite you cordially, imploringiy, and affectionate-
ly, and we shall certainly expect you there.
