j. c. Underwood, late of Clarke county, in this

the old Constitution. and speaks in glowing
terms Of the rapid strides that haze been made
In the Commonwealth under the new order of
things, towards true democracy and repubi-

the question Of white basis will be settled in
favor Of the people, and after that Virginia will

How ridiculous then do these representations Of

understand that 'the poor constituting the ma

which refers to the colonization of our State by
the Yankees. He says
perfectly agree with A. W. T. when he says that
naturally "Virginia seems to the loveiest land

the United States and in Europe" No one can doubt
the wonderful exodus of the coored population from
