we shall reproduce, as It's counterpart, Mr..
Bolts speech. If Mr.. Letcher IS to be denoun,

tertained by him in 1S47, we shall hold the
I RicamDpd Convention and its'Domipees to the
sentiments of john NJ. Bolts inslS58s when

his ostracism by the members of that Conyen-

in Virginia
Disgusting as are the sentiments efthe Ruff
ner pamphlet, they are net more iniquitous
than tile avowed sentiments of John al. Botts
before the late Richmond Convention, and
which. received the plapdits OF that body. If
the sentiments and Sects of the Rutfner pans
pllet 10 ked to the dismemberment of the
State, the ayowed purpose Of John NJ Bolts,
to seek the aid of free negroes, if possible! Of
aecomplishtr ent, would be equally dssltuetige
to It's integrity. Who had not rather see Vir-f
ginia yided into segmsnls than united /, and
hcrspoger destroyed BY free negroes with
John Minor Bots as their leaderl or our
own part, may we never see a day of greater
calamity, than that which must inevitably be-
fall the country when Bolts aud bis free negto
coinpatriois are installed with power. We do
not mean to say that Bolts would be any
worse, with or without tho free negroes nor
the free negroes any better with or without
Bolts, but merely TO say that The two combined
would, indeed, be Uncomfortable.
If Mr. Goggin can undertake the canvass
of Yirgipia, with Bolts and his free negro COS
alition, hen Ger tainiy Ietcher has but lie
