AfeW days ago We appealed to the De-
mocracy throughout the length and
breadth of the State, to organize early
and thoroughly. toSbuckle on their armor
and prepare for the onslaught of the op-
position in May. And to-day We earnest
y urge upon them, again the importance
Of an active canvass an incorporating
adherance to the infezible principles Of
the party. - .'*
Il is needless To- cay that unusual exer.
ton is not necessary to enable US to elect
every member Of Congress. and to secure
. very large majority Of the next Legisla-
ture. But the galvanic action Of the op-
position on the public land question, un.
less exposed in7all its falsity and folly,
and crushed into the dust BY the indig-
nant denunciation Of the indomitable De-
moctacy, may serve 70 ,seducs many right
minded men from the proper political
pathway. and introduce in the next Leg.
islature Of Virginia. one or two Of those
nondescript, 'soi disant Democrats, who
ardently advocate State rights. and swear
| BY the shade Of Calhoun that the Con-
stitution should be most rigidly and
strictly construed, but belief that old Vir-
ginia Is most sbominably abused in the
inordinate taxation Of her people, and
can see no other means of redress than
th.. Of demanding her proportion of the
public lands !! D.
We heartily hope that every pseudo
Democrat in the State. who either avows
his advocacy Of Distribution. or shrinks
from the issue in the slightest degree,
under any pretext whatever, may meet
that fate at the hands ofhis fellow citizens.
in the outset, which will inevitably await
him in the ranks Of the Democracy for
the future. -. The land question involves
the soul and substance, the elements and
essence OF one Of the purest and proudest
principles Of our party. And let no man
equivocate on it. who would claim 10 be
considered a conservative, constitut-
tionalist or lover Of Virginia. Never
at any previous period in the political
history Of the American people. has
there been more urgent necessity for an
undertaking devotion TO principle on the
part oftie Democracy Of Virginia, than
now. As the citadel of the South, and
the censervator Of the Union. the Old
Dominion mus. maintain her high ground
