on by Virginia If we fail. the Disunion-
lists and Abulitionists then stand face to face
with nothing between them. If we sue

into our ranks all who love and would pre-
serve the Union. Our success in Virginia
next month is our success in the whole cOun-

desperate chances of purely sectional

pected him of trading with and selling ,

incensed Lassiter, who replied he wuu'
