Virginia has lost much population by emigration TO
other States but her sons have carried me eSt-
bookr with them, and her fame and her principles
have spre ad through the Land Her doctrines, which
are rldculed by Mr.. Clay and tis "iolo' ers' Us
idle distractions" have been found TO work well
and 10 be the true conservative principles oil the Con-
stitulion She has ever been foremost IN resisting
all aggress'ons on the Constitution, and her sister
States have accorded TO her the distinction oil having
published the world the sDuDdesi exposition oil mat
sacred charter She has never voted the federai
Ticket aud has, therefore, been considered the lead
err Of the Democratic party. Those principles are
sill in existence, unchanged and unchangeao'e-
that party is still as vigorous as ever ana, WIN
little prudence on our part Is destined to triumph -
We never had brighter prospects In 1910, weiought
at disadvantage-our opponents cautiously threw a
curtain their opinions--now, proudly conscious
of success Trough divisions, they have boldly
! thrown away the mask, and stand forth in all the
| naked ugness Of Fedora ism. They ayow Them
sci es in favor Of National Institution =; the IA
tural tendency Of which will be, TO corrupt the mo-
rails and endanger the safety of both Government
and peopleraIsing depressing prices, to SUIT the
selfish views OF a few managers; buying up the
liberty Of the press by arlnu doucs, and control
ling The ballot box, the safeguard OF our liberties,
which ought to be maintained pure and untouched.
They openly advocate Protective Tariff, which will
enrich the manufacturers at the expense OF every
other class of the community thus essentially voiat-
ing the Constitution that guarantees equal rights and
privileges. They for distribution Of the Public
Lands, which ceded for the common benefit OF
all the States; foolshly throwing away the means
Of the Government at time OF need, and making u
necessary to impose high duties the indispensable
articles of consumption thus committing a double
wrong to the great body of the people In word they
are for q splendid Government, which will stretch
out its giant arms and ietter the rights OF the states
Should they succeed, the simplicity and beauty oil
our Republic will be gone, ard spurious Oligarchy,
with all its corrupng and dangerous attendants, must
follow. Virginia doctrines, the "text book" OF the
Democratic party, resent, on the contrary, tue Only
safe platform on which our Government can stand
the test of Time. They teach u.s. that the General
Government erected for very few definite pur-
poses--tha its powers but limited the States re-
serving themselves every other power-that it has
no right to give peculiar privileges to any section OF
the country to any class of individuals the Co
vernment being established for the many, and not the
few. They moreover teach us, that simple and
| economical Government was designed by the Constr
| tu ion, an is most consonant with u e Republican
principle-tha therefore, not cent should be raised
moge than is absolutely necessary to carry on such
Government aud that free citizens should look,
no, to the National Legislature for aid, but to their
own free skill and enterprise
! Wehave here hu riedy sketched general outline
of the different views of the two great parties The
their dcctrines and sincere in the belief, that
mocratc cause. Many State Rights men, who were
deceived by the Wing misrepresentation Of 1870,
have found out their error, and rapidly returning
to their old companionship. We must choose leader
to carry ut our principles-and many faithful and
able champions have been named We hope that the
claims OF all will be freely and courtcou ly discussed
before May, 1914, when the National Convention viii
assemble ard when that Grand Council shall pro-
nounce its decision the whole body of the Democracy
will go for the nominee. This is the only
for party TO carry out its principles and
save tho Constitution. Will we throw away the VIC
tory Let the Democrats in every State, with one
voice, answer in the negative!
