that the democrats OF this section have SUI an

The democracy Of Rockingham hsve done honor

cost reflection upon an administration tnat nss
shown, since Its advent into power the most elevas
ed patriotism and the utmost devotion to the consul
tutional rights Of all sections. That the administia
ton has been true to the constitution, true to the
Union, and proudly represented the prln !ples auo
policy Of the democrati party, the most bitter enc
my cannot deny; and 1t Is . matter OF wonder ana
surprise that any democrat could so far forget nis
duty to his country and his party as for momen.
to ymrathize with that faction whose 0bJecs ana
purpose were to disoreanize the party by hurting
their poisoned shafts indirectly at the Executive OF
the nstOn.
Whatever may have been the object of those who
have assaed the administration, they will fud that

The sentiments of the people Of Rocking
ham are but an index to the feelings en-.
tertained by this. entire democratic Valley:
Notwithstanding the bOastful declarations OF
q sumber Of presses and distinguished poll
ticans that the Valley democracy sympathized With
the quasi friends Of the administration, they will
find that the people, who have no sympathy with
ciuues and combinations who are banded together
patriotic motives, and will heartily sustain Mr..
Buchanan and his constitutional and conservative
policy whenever called upon to express an opinion.
Men are nothing, principles everything, with the
democracy Of the Valley and they are not disposed
to sacrfe their cherished principles to crafty the
ambitious projects OF any man or set OF men. All
or SO low as to be exempt from any demand Of ex-
preston of opinion entertained when candidates for
Office. While the people OF the Valley are far from
exhibiting any hostile feelings to Mr.. Hunter, or Q
bound to respond to respectful call upon him,
and to say whether he intends to second the patriotic
moves OF the President, to restore peace to dis
tracted country
to calm the angry of sectional strife to bring
back the Ella Of good feeling that distinguished the
earlier days of the republic to maintain the integ
rty of the constitution, to impress upon the minds
of The people the sacredness of the compact that ex
lists between the sovereign States of this Union, and
the patriotic DUTY of all parties and sections acknow
lodging the respective rights Of all the States In
these patriotic motives the people behold the loftiest
patriotism and the surest method OF battling the IA
naticsm of the North and the ultraism Of faction
in the South, and thus prevent disruption of our
confederation. The past course OF Mr.. Buchanan,
bis enlightened intellect, his scrupulous fidelity to
the Constitution and bis present impartial patriotism
assure the people that If seconded by the conserva
tive element of the country these objects will be at
tanned, and the bow of promise Will span polit

this section desire to Virginia-the promulgator
Of that code Of political ethics which James Blu.
chanan has illustrated for half a century with
distinguished ability and underwriting devotion
sustain the administration by al its strength
and moral weight in the Senate and in
the House, and for that reason have
called upon Mr.. Hunter to state his position. The
democracy here do not doubt Mr.. Hunters pa
triotism but as intimatons have been thrown out
from certain quarters calculated 10 destroy TO some
extent confidence in his fidelity to the national adj
ministration, they respectfully but earnestly, re:
OF that suspicion. And while they do not wish to
dictate to him. or intimidate him by threats, yet,
unless he does respond fsvorably he can expect no
sympathy aid from the democracy of this section.
The people here have undiminshed c1nfdenee in
the administration, and know that the South will
never regret having placed its rights under the pro-
lection Of such tried and true friends az own
gifted Floyd, Thompson, Brown and Cobb, men who
have been true to the South quick to resent
insult and resist assault the most captious aud
ardent fire eater and extremist in the South. When
such are found rallying around the standard of
the national democracy ina1guratng and approving
that very policy which has been so unjusty and
roneousy tortured into assault upon the rights Of
the South, we can with proprety doubt the loyalty OF
any man found in the tanks Of the captious dsor-
ganzers Let Mr.. Hunter stand by these faithful
repre- sentatives of the South, and the Virginia de-
mocracy will be proud 10 sustain him by reelection
10 the Senate.
