Effect of John Letcher's Election in the
South
Without assuming that the Democratic cahdi-
date Tor Governor Of Virginia is now an abolition
list, and giving him full credit f1r having been
genuinely converted IRON the error Of his former
ways. we yet think il susceptible Of easy demon
.tration that his election 20 the important position
for which he has leen nnmcI will have an nn-
happy efiec, in our sister States of the South.
They will think, ms Mr.. Magruder expressed it in
the Convention. that tho outposts are taken, and
Virginia can no longer he relied upon ms Slave
State" But IT, upon the other hand, Virginia,
with her Democratic antecc Tents and her known
Democratic majority. Ms parties have heretofore
been arraycl, should ignore party politics and
cn., her vote las we believe she will for gentle
man who was never in favor Of enamel patton. l.
will tend to unite aud identify her more nearly
than ever IN ~yinrathy md interest with the whole
South Nor will the North respect as less for al
herring to the policy Of maintaining our own insti-
tutions in our own territory. We believe that il
W ,uld have the effect to convince them that there
could be no UNION upon any principle that would
require ns 10 late one t ar title ol our rights
under the Constitution, whilst il breaking up the
Democratic PARTY we remove the great impcdiment
t. union Of all conservative elements North and
South. upon the principles # the Constitution.
1t will not concliae the North TO elect n man
& vernon Of Virginia because he was once an ah-
oii.onst-whlst, from the very force Of circum-
stances he NAV feel imIrllrd now. by ac,s of tie

stiiutlon he once Denounced and the South may
