Destruction. according to this loyal Democratic
nominee for her glorious Governor
Aud then Eastern Virginia il modestly told that
all the West asks is that if Western Virginia
shall call upon her for n law to remove slavery
from her side of tho Blue Ridge, Eastern Virginia
shall not refuse hcr consent because tho measure
may not be profitable tn herself" Oh no, you
must make Ms free Snte-right along side cf
you, and upon your borders whether you like il
or not. Go it Virginia's loyal son!
After n vast amount Of rigmaroe, in cssaying
to show, what never be shown, that there could
result no very serious mischief to Eastern Virgi.
nn. from the abolition of slavery in Western Vir-
ginia, we, Eastern Virginians, are insultngy told
.'if Eastern Virginia apprehend that the delegates
from the free countics"--"the FREQ counties p'--
'woul1 often speak more freely about slavery
matters than she would like to hear in her central
city Of Richmond let her agree to remove the seat
OF Government to Staunton, near the centre OF our
| territory and Of our white population, and sho
| will be free from all annoyance of this sort."-
| And thus vauntingly told that Western
Virginia would be no longer n remote province Of
Eastern Nirginia-nltogether forgetting tho force
of the argument upon Eastern Virginia, now be-
coming, if this wonderfully convenient and unpat-
| riotic logic have any truth in it, "a remote pro-
vince" of Western Virginia and the Eastern or
| slavery section. the remote province of the free
| and abolition section! We do not believe there is
loyal and true Virginan this side or beyond the
Blue Ridge, outside of tho precincts Of Lexington,
| who would advocate runous and degrading o
| humiliation Of this old Commonwealth or of any
portion of it. And. yet, Virginians have nomi-
mated this man for Governor Of Virginia! o tenn
