OLD VIRGINIA STRONGLY AGiIAIED
I This tine-honored State IL at ast irouslng
from the apathy in which she has been bound.
She il resolving in her majesty to break the
ignominous shackles, under the weight of which
she has too long reposed. Her People are be-
ginning to speak 10 a language not to be misun
derstood. The man whom she has heretofore
chosen to represent her in her most important
offices, and who has never betrayed his trust,
has not ceased to have her confidence now that
he is elevated 10 the highest place known
among men. She is taking measures to do
"JusrlcE TO JOHN TYLER" Her People are
holding primary assemblies in various places,
and we subjoin the following communication as
the evidence of the feeling which animates
them. Portsmouth has long since spoken. Nor
folk followed with resolutions calling TYLER
STATE CONVENTION. Williamsburg
came next, and now Matthews, with its Demo
cratic host, speaking, as with one voice, and
old York responds Gloucester, Warwick,
Middlesex, Hanover, Charles City, New Kent,
Princess Ann, Norfolk county, aud other coun-
ties and towns and boroughs will speedily fol-
low, and the gathering hosts will show power
and 4 force which nothing can resist. We call
upon our friends, once and again, TO go on and
we ask every man in Virginia to tell US what
there is in the past or present course of Mr..
Tyler, that he disapproves7 What error has
been committed which bears a comparison with
the good accomplished What good is Vir-
ginia, or the country, to obtain by change :
Will Martin Van Buren, or Henry Clay bring
greater good to Virginia or the country2 Will
the editor Of The Enquirer continue to hazard
the ascendency of the great Republican party,
in order TO accomplish the restoration Of bar
rem sceptre Principle is restored-prosperity
is restored-politicaI morality is restored
rne wnose country is prosperous and happy.
What more does the editor Of the Enquirer re-
quire7 What more can any man ask for2
Henry Clay has said that John Ty-
Ter is to retire from Office 'despised" of
be taught a lesson even in his 6slh
year. Who can do it so effectually as
John Tyler7 We tell the Democracy again
and again that victory is theirs, beyond all
doubt, if they choose to receive it; and we ask
each man of the Democratic party, whether he
the success Of the great cause Of Republican
liberty by futile attempt TO restore, not princi-
pie, but MANI But we hasten TO lay the COM
munication of York, and extracts from letters
just received before our readers. Let the De-
mocracy, then, read and ponder upon them
vohr al -. nat oil 10 a. n.
mocracy may gather around him with conf
dence that he is the enemy of no portion of it.
The friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,, of Cass, Bu-
chanan, and Johnson, daily receive favors at bis
hands. The intellectual giant Of the South is
called to the premiership, Judge Walworth TO
the Supreme Court, Governor Shannon is pro-
posed to be entrusted with an important embas-
sy, and the friends Of "OLD TEcUMsEHp are the
friends of John Tyler. No cliquism or party
ism restrains-rhe abest men are called 10 the
public service. What more can be required
And why should not the whole Democratic par
ty raIly7 Should such rally take place, Fede-
ralism would be buried in the tomb of all the
Cspulets; but we firmly believe that it can on
ly be made upon single man-JoHN TYLER.

me some forty fifty copies of the proceedings of
the Williamsburg Tyler meeting, and distributed
them among the People. They seemed to be de-
