To tic Editors of the Wing:
GENTLEMEN-llavipg been put in posses

people of Virginia and the whole Union, I
send 1t TO you 10 do with it as you please.
In conversation with one of the knowing
ones oi the party, and candidate for the Lee
gslalure, lie remarked, shat Mr.. Calhoun and
his friends were determined TO keep silent
about state interference Just now that after
the election of President, say in the course of
Two years, the Virginia politicians, who are
now entirely released from all obligations 10
Martin Van Buren, and the Albany Junto,
would call a Convention of the Southern
States TO take into consideration The Cypress

sion, as take it Of the General Government:
that MIR. Calhoun would keep perfectly quiet
until The elections and the present Congress
has adjourned, when he and the party in Vir-
gInia would go To WORK 10 organize the
South" II is understood, Virginia is TO take
the lead IN this matter, to give it force and inn
portance. This may account for the levity
by Ritche to the Rhett movement
IN this State, and the countenance given by
The party III Virginia to the Convention re-.
commended TO meet in Richmond. From,
what gathered from him / think il i deeS
LAID scheme secretly to dissolve these States,
believe that arch traitor Tyler along with
Calhoun, are preparing something, Heaven
knows what, to array the South against the
North, and Virginia is to breed or hatch this
Infamous sediiion. He did not tell me there

was waiting for Virginia, who being released
from Van Buren, and the Albany .Juntp, scouid,
alter the elections, take the lead IN calling a
Convention OF the Southern States to meet in
Virginia, TO take into consideration Southern
grievances. The gentleman who told me
this, did so in presence of another. and will
not deny it. Let the people of Virginia be

he delay is simply to get Polk and Texas
saddled on us, and if that fails, an effort will
be made TO organize the South and Texas.
The South will first demand of the Unions
