VOICE FROM THE DEMOCRACY OF HENRY
YET ANOTHER EXPRESS PROTEST AGAINST
THE NOMINATION OF JOHN LETCHER

The following extract from the account of
the proceedings of the meeting in Henry
county. is, Of itself, enough to defeat the nomi-
nation of John Letchcr, by the people, for the
high Office of Governor Of Virginia.
The following resolution was offered:
"2nd. Resolved, That in the opinion of this
meeting, in view of the high position which the
Democratic party of Virginia has ever taken,
in the maintenance of the institutions and
rights of the South, it would be unwisc and in
expedient to nominate for these high and re-
sponsiblc offices, any man who has ever faltercd
in his advocacy of her institutions or proved
recrcant to the cherished principles of the
Democratic party.
'When the second resolution was rcad Saml
j. Mullins, Esq. offered substitute therefor,
to the effect: That whilst the Democrats of
this county will cheerfuly support any good
and true Democrat that may be nominated by
said Convention, yet that the Hon. John Lctch-
or is their first choice This proposition gave
rise to lengthy and animated discussion,
Involving the claims of Mr.. Lctcher and other
distinguished men of the party,) in which the
mover of the substitute, GcorgclW. Booker and
j. ". Shelton, EsqS, sustained, and ii. Dillard
anu u l. lnoIiii>, Esp, oPPoH'" '"@ S"'H"'u'>'
The substitute was lost by vote of near two
to one, and the resolution adopted by an equally
decisive majority.
Similar action in Bedford Boone and Isle
of Wight, shows that the Democracy of at
least four counties in the State REGARD JOHN
LErcIiER As ENTIRELY UNFIT To BE NOMINATED
FOR THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR oF VIRGINIA.
.Nerer Mrore has such rsnlict been rendered
agatnst a Democratic candidate stahdtng ,for-
eard to claim tie su9rages g tie Democracy.
