MR.. SUMMERS SINCERITY.

1t is conceded by the enemies of Mr. Sum
mers that his vndication of himself against the
charge of unsoundness in regard to the institu-
ton of slavery, is complete. far as his present
avowals of opinion are concerned; and their only
recourse is to impeach the sincerity CT these
ayowals Mr. Bocock, in the discussion at
Lynchburg, was candid enough to discaim
any doubt of Mr.. Summers sincerity. Mr. IT.
notify Rves, of Petersburg, did not directly
question it, but endeavored to raise doubt in the
minds of the audience, oy asking when the change
in Mr. Summers opinions took place? And it
10 now openly charged, through at least portion
of the Democratic press, that Mr.. Summers has
changed his views on the subject of slavery,
simply because he is candidate for the support
of Eastern Shareholders.
Against this injurious and most unjust impu-
tation we are able to adduce evidence that
must satisfy even every Democrat who is capa.
Bile of doing justice to an opponent. On the I'd
of MAJ last, when the Basis controversy was yet
unsettled in the State Convention, when all in
deed was uncertainty as TO the final result and
when the members of the body, divided on sec
tional question, took no more cognisance OF or.
binary political issues than of the politics of
Kamschatka, Mr. Summers delivered an eloquent
speech in reply TO Mr. Scott, of Fauquier and
Mr Rives, of Prince George. It's or eat object
was to vindcate Western Virginia from the
charge of having commenced the emancipation
movement of 1882, and having been most zeal
GUS in urging it forward. MIR. Summers spoke,
not in defence of himself, nor with any view to
his personal interests, but as the champion
of his section of the State. And, however East
ern Virgnans might have differed with him in
opinion, none could fail to admire the ability
with which he performed his task.
In that speech, delivered, as we have said,
as long ago as the second of May, Mr.. Summers
uttered the following language we recently
cited it. but it is necessary to repeat it in order
TO rebut the present malignant impeachment of
Mr. Summers sincerity:
''Sir, this is a bye gone transaction. It occurred
twenty years ago 1t was then in accordance to
very great extent at least, with the public sentiment

the public press. II there was an error or SIN IN 1t,

SOUTH CAROLINA VIEWS OF VIRGINIA
[From the Charleston Mel

From the Charleston Mercury.1
The letter of our correspondent fom Virginia will
attract attention. The writer is too just and intei-
gent man, and too experienced and dslnterested
observer, to allow to doubt that he has presented
analysis OF the character of the elections in
Virginia. and OF the state of parties and opinion there
We at least, have right to call in question his
illusions. He is one of those who ann at the union
of the South, and believe such union atainable. We
are willing believe in it too, and to labor for effect
means by which it may be accomplished, in order to
adopt them as our symbols. The separate secession
of the State is decided against; butth must be
measure, tar short OF Downright SUBMISSION that VIII
DINA; and for ourselves we are prepared TO sustain
whatever tends to final Liberation from the control of
hostile Federal Government. With this feeling,
contemplate with slight interest the prospect of
Virginia politics presented by our respected cor
respondent.
