BLACK REPUBLICAN APPLAUSE OF DOTTs'
SPEECH

1i--ASiN MA >H'AS.hN ILAOSE Of
SPEECH.
The report of Bolts speech in his special organ,
notes the applause with which particular passages
were received by the audience but neelects to men,
ZION that of his more urocious sentiments were
Kissed even by his own retaiuers This is an uufur.
unate omission, tor the reason that it likely to de-
ceve the North rs to the impression of the speech
| III this State. The Baltimore Republican would be rgh,
in retaliaing the charge Of iDfdelity to the South
against the city of Richmond, if the sentiments OF
Bolts speech were Received hsre without protest or
dissent Happily for the credit Of the place, the mass
of thi'kpg aud respectable people in bon parties Ut
terly sccrn, coutemn aud rcpudate both Bolts and
his principles.
II would bu well for the honor of the City and the
interests Of the State, if this fact could be commun
Gated TO the people Of the North, and they could b.
convinced, that the sentiments of Bolts speech are
detested and denounced in every quarter of Virginia
The fault will not be if the voice of desperate
adventurer be taken the true uteraDce of Virginia
feeling and purpose, and be accepted by the euelne,
of the South as an invitation and encouragement
more violent aggressions upon its rights. For Mr.
Bolts We care nolLng, one way or the other. Blu,
regard which prompts us TO repel every mputation
the character of Virginia. whether it be the bold
caumny OF al avOwed abolitioust, or the whispered
uspersiou of her own trescberous son.
The effect of our protest, though it speak the unver
salsenlnent Of the State, will be impaired by thesusp
con partzan prejudice The papers in the interest OF
Mr. Bolts own party, are under equal obligation ia
vindcate the honor of Virginia. Why are they silent!
Do they mean to admit that Bolts truly iuterpres the
sentiment Of the State and that his principles are the
| principles of the party which he represents! Mr.
Bolts speaks in the name and by the authority of the
Fillmore party of Virginia, and in the absence of any
protest against his principles, his party responsible
for his abominahle declarations.
Whoever is inclined to view hots' speech with in.
diligence, and TO say that our judgment of its spirit
and tendency Is understandable, will be satisfied Of
| It's a,rosiGus and mschievous character by the com
meudatory criticisms Of the Black Republican press
| The New York HraId now the foremost paper ir
the interests of Fremont albeit not given to comp

can Church speech:

Mr.. Rot!: representing the same population OF th'

Of the speech, and il shows revolution III the srntI

In this aspect the Richnond speech otherwise so ab

purpose is mstter uf subordinate interest the i'm
porant fact for the South to ponder is the Inference
which the Black Republican party deduce from Bolts
speech as to the tone Of The popular sentiment of h
State. They accop, il Gs the voice of Virginia, mt
are encouraged III their schemes Of wrong and az

The New York Ec.nalg Post is still more exultan

hatred of the South. This is the language in which
the Post comnlends Bolts speech to the uboitionsts

But the thing for the people Virginia to consde
is the oalumny with which Mr. Bolts sullies the homo

them to be; it ia not true, that Nirgnians nsen

with submissive spirit and motionless arm. Mr.
Bolts mistakes the counsel5 Of his own bosom for tn
resolute purpose OF fearless people.
Virginia would despise these imputations from th
mouth Of degenerate son, if they were not EN-
ployed to ncite aggression upon her rights. Admon
