gone forth and resist its advancing tide, and set it,
vaunting and audacious it is, utterly at defiance.

racy Virginia has set noble example which the democ
racy of the whole Union ought to be PROUD to follow
which they follow unless they prepared TO desert
their owl platforms make their usages and an
initiate their strength.
What has democracy anywhere rghtuly to do with re-
gious prescription sectional intolerance other than to
resist them What has democracy to do in midnight con-
suations with wings and freesoers? Democrats who are
insane enough still remaining democrats to enter these un
der-ground conclaves are received there with hostile pur
poses to themselves and their principles,
