VIRGlslA LIBERALITY.-IIon. John {. Tn

VIRGlsIA LIBERALITY.-lIon. John {. In
derwood, a planter of Clark Co. Va, attended
the Republican National Convention at Phil
adelphia, and which was worse, made a few
remarks, in what he quoted some sentiments
of a Nirginian Of former days, one Thomas
jefferson, against slavery, and said something
also Of " the wrong of hunting down those
who would teach the poor children of oppres-
sion and licensed wrong to read the word of
God-hunting them down By means Of those
tyrlunical laws which were made not to
govern but to crush out every sentiment of
freedom, Of virtue and humanity
OF course - the first families of Virginia
could not stand that.
An Indignation meeting of his fellow citi-
zens was called, which with other resolutions ;,
passed one, notifying Mr., Underwood that
they deemed it just and advisable for him to
leave the State, as speedily as he can find it
in his power to do So" His wife hearing of
violent threats made against him, also wrote,
warning him Of the danger Of returning, and
he has deemed it best to stay away, banished
from his own home and State. Fine, free

the men who, acting by hemScfUcs as mem

as members Of that party wished its adoption
by the Republicans because it had been made
by their W party at Montpelier, were pres

select members of the nominating committee,
and acted themselves IN that committee.
We say nothing here of the political ethics
of that way of doing but only say That the
practice contributed largely to the result.
In the next place there is a powerful feeling
in the land that divisions must be avoided
among those who in any way are willing to
act for the cause of freedom, or that cause
will be sacrificed. No where does that feel
ing exist stronger than in Vermont. Yield any
thing, save truth and honor, the sentiment
is, rather than peril the great cause. Some
therefore, who were satisfied enough with a
part, and perhaps all of TIE mcn on the tick
ct, and were only displeased at the unworthy
measures by which they were forced upon
them, were ready to overlook that objection.
Others who objected to the men in whole or
in rlrt, and still more to the way in which
they wet brought forward also said We will let
all pass aud bear anything rather than create
difficulty. \ majority in the nominating
Committee were in favor of adopting the entire
ticket. We believe a large majority of the
convention were much dissatisfied with the
result, because in their views it was unfairly
brought about, but to avoid any contention
they would not oppose.
We hope that the same determination to
avoid divisions of feeling, will still continue.
Vermont we know will give an overwhelming
majority for FREMONT and DAYTON, but we
wish our freemen to remember that a strong
vote for the State ticket in September will
exert a powerful influence on other States
which vote at a later day.
