We have received the following note from the pres
dent OF the recent democratic State convention OF Viz
ginia, which we take pleasure in laying before our
readers:
TO the Editor of the Union:
writer in the Baltimore Sun OF the Goth of March
has ascrbed 10 opinions that never expressed in re-
la,on 10 the choice OF the late convention in Virginia Of
candidate for President OF the United States. II was
the manifest and paramount intention of that convention
to orbear the expression OF any preference whatever
among the distinguished citizens named for this Office.
The persuasion prevailed that good and true man only
would be presented 10 the country by the Baltimore Con-
venton, and do not doubt that its nominee will be the
favored candidate of Virginia
