,ishonorng to our State, State PRIDE State charactcr
State independence State influence, are all all to he
sacrificed upon the altar Of foul and accused coal
zion ticket for the sake Of miserable and corrupt party
triumph
For one, we express the earnest hope that such &C.
ALTON ticket may be agreed upon by the two wings Of
the Virginia Democracy. With such ticket against US
We should feel no apprehension Of the result satisfied
tb, il would drive thousands Of the best and homo
te Democrats IN the State into the positive and active
support Of Bel and Everett Numbers Of Douglas men

the Eagirsrs phiippes aad throw them in the face Of
the unprnepled Democracy without stint and without
mercy. As matter Of policy, therefore, 50 far as Bell
and Everett are concerned could desire nothing more
from the two Democratic Conventions tomorrow, than

Ia conclusion, VIC defy these two Conventions to do

organization and effort the part Of the friends Bell
