THE LEN r.Lloyrs-wlrn A VENGEANCE

The following structures from the "lalley Star,
as Just they The Richmond Wing de-
it all, for its gross beraity towards Mr.. Nc
Dowell, for It's shameless inconsistency between
rs attacks him. and lis course i'll 30, us well US
us rec professions, and for its paltry attempt 10
make i'i'e "npal under such circum
Stances and to forge puny weapon ammuy to
"Honest John Davis OF Massachusetts, against the
constituted authorities and solemn rights of Virginia
But hat will the "Valley Star think, when it is
destood, that it is ''this same old coon who s making
these coarse and ll,beral attacks upon Mr.. McDowel-
not Mr. Alexander Nloseley alone, but Mr. John Eamp
den Peasants himself What will the Editor Of the
.Valley Star say, when he comes 10 know that the
author Of these dsgracetul squbs the Editor OF the
Wing in ls32-,hat he the advocate of all the
general doctrines in favor of Emanclpation-tha he
went as far or farther IN lc32 than MT McDoweii
himself, who did not advocate, Us we believe, IN the
speech 10 which the Wing refers, emancipation with.
out compensation to the owner, except under certain
specified contingencies. What will he say, when he
sees the Richmond Wing introducing, again and again,
with all the forms of ''doube commas and dwelling
upon it with never ending repetition, certain marked
and leading sentence-namely-" man can hold no
property in manand thus attempting to pass It OFT as
a literal extract from the speech of MIR. Mcdowell,
when no such sentence to be found there and when
the sentiment il expresses is sheer deduction OF the
Whg's' If We wrong, we say, emphatcally, let
The sentence so harped upon, and 80 quoted, be
found What will the "Valley Star" say, when the
Richmond Wing does not hesitate 10 give Mr.
Mcdowell the Soubriquet of "the Abolitionist TO-
vernon" when he is entitled, much stronger
grounds taken the very time, to the ephet oil
1.-THE Abotionlst Editor" What will the Editor OF
The Valley Star say, when he recoec.s that the r.
Wing has since repeatedly drawn the broad distinction
between discussion of our Institutions at home,
and the impairment and mschevous interference OF the
Abooniss of other States; eloquently reprobated
| by MIR. McDowe!ls Princeton Address: Nay, The Il.
Wing goes one step further, and seeks to encourage
| the Governor Of Massachusetts, 10 refuse compliance
with the solemn guarantees of the Consultation, by
furnishing him with more expressions OF Mr.
Mcdowell, which that gentleman never uttered as his
own But why multiply words upon this subject =
The whole attack Of the r. Wing is little unjust
so bera that II is calculated TO re act upon itself
II is the scorpion singing itself
from tic Paaey Star
uGor Mcdonnell and The Richmond Wig.
! "The Richmond Wing almost daily since the n,e
Guheruatorial Election has been assailing Governor
Mcdowell Tor his opinions on the subject OF Adolf
ton This is the more surprising, when the reader
recoccs tina, the conductor of this paper expressed
MS entire satisfaction with the result OF The election
and declared that he entertained NO FEARS Of Mr.
Mcdowell on this very qnesisn. 1t is surprising
also. from the additional fact, that john H. Pleasans
the Editor Of the Wing in 1892, sustained the view
and opinions advanced by the Governor in That de
bate In proof of this, offer the annexed brief pa
rarraph from letter Of this gentleman, which made
its appecrance in the Richmond Enquirer, and which
bears date February 18th, lsi0:

Il "Here is the distinct avowal, that the then Editor
the Wing, concurred in opinion with Mr. Mcdowell
that he was not only the advocate of Emancipation
but tina, he went further than this and advocated
Emanciua,ion without compensation TO the owner
These opinions he cspoused, and warmly espoused

reckless conduct on the part of the Edtor:-part.

West; to esirauge brethren from each other-to excite

settled by division of the State. Does he desire
