"Old Dominion" which has so long and
generally teen applied to Virginia. It.
originated thus.
During the protcctorate Of Cromwell,
the colony Of Virginia refused to ac-
knowledge his authority, and declared
itself independent. Shortly after, when
Cromwell threatened to send feet and
army to reduce Virginia 20 eubjection
the alarmed Virginians sent messen.
ger to Charles H., who was then an ex.
lie in Flanders, inviting him to return
in the ship With the -assssvnyer, ::s;d f he Be
King Of Virginia. Charles accepted
the invitation, and was on The point of
cmbarkation, when lie was called to the
throne Of England. AS soon us he was
fairly seated on the throne, in gratitude
for the loyalty Of Virginia, lie caused
her coat Of arms to be quartered with
those of England, Ireland, and Scotland,
as an Independent member of the EN-.
pIre, distinct portion Of the "Old Do.
minion" Hence arose the origin Of the
term. Copper coins Of Virginia we've
issued as late as the reign # George
III, which bore on one side the coat Of
arms Of England, Irellnd, Scotland Vir.
