wont do me eny good. So jes stopped,
and proceededed to examine the wound -

From the Blue Ridge Republican,
THE WAR UPON MR.. LETCHER.

Il Wv
We had prepared a defence Of this well-tried De-
mocrat, for this issue OF the Republican, . aud II
was partly in type, when we opened the Richmond
"South," of the 29th, and found the subjoined letter
from Mr. Letcher in relation 10 his recent srralgninent
by the "RichmoDd Whig"-seconded by the "Rich'
mond Enquirer" 1t ia perfectly characteristic ofJohn
Lstcher. Open, candid, aud manly, he seeks con-
ceal,pent of what he araS 10 more than OF Whist he II.
He frankly admits his error-eleven years ago-6nd
as frankly records his conviction of that error. He
truly states that at the time he believed slavery
TO be a social saad political evil. a very large
lumber OF ie people of Virginia entertained
the same opinion. Subsequent reflection, and Il
thorough examination of the sublect-nsVer before
done in this country dissatisfied them, ss him, OF the
erroneousness of the impression. Indeed this has
not been the ground upon which the South, even
at a later period, has rested is defence against 'he
onslaupht of Aboltionislu. The aboli;ionlets haze
waged their war against slavery Chiefly upon We
ground of immortality. We have defended lis mo
rslity; but whether moral or immoral, we have man
tained that they had no right 10 interfere with II -
Upon these issues MIR. Letoher has always been right
Upon the others his opinions have long since unoer
gone a thorough and favorable change, aud his
course, as a public man. for seven years. Is proof of
its soundn.es. The sincerity cf his conviction Is iur
Their established by the fact that be has always been
the voluntary owner o. slaves, and now owns them.
We withdraw our editorial because We had taken
the same grounds. preSumptiUcty, that MIR. Letcher
has taken, really, in his letter-all but that In regard
to his former opinion hs 20 the social aud polh!ca! III
licences of slavery. OF that we were not before
aware.
We will only add, that in our said editorial, We bud
called upon Mr.. Letcher tor an explanation of the at.
fair as an act of justice 10 himself, and commend the
letter to our readers:
