FOR THE vIRGINIAN.


Mr.. EpIroR:-I recollect that Mr.. Boz
cock in his FIRST speech, a, Campbell Court.
house, IN the present canvass, IN advoca-
ting the right of state to seccdc from the
Union and cxpatiating upon what the CON
sequences would be, should the Federal
Government attempt to coerce her, or en-
force the laws in her borders, very patri-
otically exclaimed, where would be the gal
liant Quitman and the gallant Mcdonald
in such contestl | remarked then to
some of Mr.. Bocock's peculiar friends, that
it was very hard to tell where these gentle
men would be in such conflict of State
and Federal authority, but | thought
could tell where they would be, after the
elections were over in Georgia and Mssip
pi, and that would be in retirement.
Well ! should like to hear Mr.. BococK
expend some of his cloquence now, in tel
ling the people, what has been the fate of
his brother secession mot disunion. mind

Governor Of Georgia, Mcdonald. and his
other brother, away down in Mississippi

his hearers, therefore will Mcdonald
is beaten in Georgia from 10000 to $4,000
votes, and Quitman, the gallant, few the
track before the first gun was fred in Mis-
sissippi. lie asceriained that secession
list stood no chance to be elected in that
state, by her Union loving people, and he
very wisely dbsqnatalated. He is a great
General but he could not stand stilland sec
the Union men shoot him nto cocked
hat.
What say you, Union men Of Bocock's
and Powell's, and Avereft's disrrictsl Are
you going to let the people of Virginia and
Mississippi out do you. in such great, and
glorious cause? win You send 10 Con
gress such men, (seccssionists) as neither Of
those great and powerful states would G.
lect to any office! VIII you send the pro-
sclytcs or satellites Of the hot headed and
foolish Drained politicians Of South Carroll

states shall hear, after the 4ih Thursday in

may please to term thcml cannot, will
not believe it, till the deed is done.
tell you men Of those districts, that
nothing you could do would better please
the abolitionIsts ofthe North, than to send
these seccssionists 10 Congress- fort the rca.
son, that they are Ggitators like themselves
and entertain extreme and metaphysical
views upon the subject Of slavery, as they
do. Aud whatcver may be their intentions

ton Of the Union. Far better, md safer
viii it be to send to Congress men, who are
not agitttors, those who viii sustain The
Compromise and oppose interference with
it, in any shape. Snch men you have be-

Look to Georgia and Mississippi, and once
more rally to the rescue Of the Union, as
the people Of those states have done, re-

is less loyal to the Union than any Of her
sister states, save South Carolnu. X.
