gina has always been true to the Democratic
faith. know-nothngism is indigenous to the
soil Of Massachusetts but, unless the people
of Virginia struck with judicial blindness,
it can never take root among your valleys and
mountains.
II is entirely unnecessary for me to occupy
your time with delineation Of the practical
working of Know-nothngism here. You have
learned its political designs already, and you
can easily conceive of the political debauchery
which goes with it. Questions which were for
mery settled by free and open discussion, are
now decided by the iron rule of council. Ca
pacity and intelligence which, however much
mistaken, once controlled the acts of the old
Bay State, are now banished from an arena
which is occupied by the fruits of secret in
trigue. The path to preierment, which former
ly led over the SUBMITS of the everlasting hills
of knowledge, now lie among the low and
swampy abodes where nothing noble dwells.
The mass of the people are excluded from all
participation in those matters upon which de-
pend their social and civil privileges. The
voice of the people is dumb. The elect point
out the way, and under threats of oppression,
and prescription, and persecution in every
walk in life, men who call themselves Ameri-
can freemen, submit to the dctation of this
last and most ingenious form of worse than
tabled jesuitism. This is the operation Of the
thing here. If Virginia hopes for honor and
prosperity she had better drive it from her
borders with scorn and contempt.
When remember that Washington and
Jefferson, and Madison, have left the glory Of
their great names as legacy to Virginia, and
remember too, that the party which now claims
to be the American, would have prescribed
these heroes, had they not submitted to the
iron rule of this order, which every statesman
must despise, ! am astonished that it should
have found for a moment, foot-hold of power
in our country, or even have threatened your
State AS Virginians value the pride of their
State, let them reject it. Let the Blue Ridge
be the barrier beyond which no wave Of this
political mania can pass on. And let the pres
ent condition of Massachusetts prove as q
warning to that State, which was the first to
consolidate the Union, and should be the last
to strike a blow at its existence.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEO. B. LORING.
