mise. But most desperate game is being
played by some OF the Eastern Virginia
fartionists, having for their cards some Of
these so called compromises. They will
profess great love for the Union it may be,
and to preserve it Virginia must have con-
ceded to her this, that, and the other
thing;-thinRs, some at which, the pso-
pie Of Virginia never asked for nor heard
OF, two months ago; things, other of which,
that by solemn vote Virginia lately said
she did NOT rcaaf. Failing to obtain these
Selt-assumed aud unreasonable demands,
the cry Of the leaders will be 4 hat Virginia

OAKLAND, Jan. II, 1861.
Dear Sir:-what say you to hitchiug on
10 the tail Of South Carolina. II was the
disuniOn movements of the South that
elected Liucoln-bccause they did not like
Douglas, who was too independent for
the Nullifers and now they threaten TO
Secede because of Lincoln's election, pre-
tending to urge it, that it was the Douglas
men that elected him. Had the Delegates
from Virginia, to tue Charleston ConYeu-
ton, had one iota of independence, the
election of Lincoln would not have hap
pensd. 1t Is now apparent to all, that
Judge Douglas could have been elected.
But Virginia must truekIe to South Caro-
lima, too blind to see that that State want
ed pretext to go out OF the Uuion. For
one, sag, let her go aud if could,
would send all the politicians with her.
! deprecate the election of sectional
candidate, but / do not regard Lincoln
more so than Buchanan and so long as
tue Administration of Lincoln is conduct
ed in obedience to the Constitution and
laws, will give him my support; and l
am sure such is the almost unanimous
sentiment of the people Of Western Vir-
ginia. Your Ob't serv'l,

teal: Let the people of Virginia, on the
4th day of February next, ut the polls, to
which thephRve beensummoned with such
indecent haste, say with unmistakable en-
phasis, that Virginia ShGkiStay in the UWoH;
she will not only stay, but this miserable

IT is estimated by one of our most care
fnl contemporaries, thai if Virginia taxed
slave property IN proportion as she taxes
other property, and that if slaves under
twelve years of age were likewise taxed,
tho State would raise just one clear mill
lion Of dollars more revenue per year than
she now does, and the taxes on the poor
whites who carry tue burthen of the State
for the benefit of the Eastern slave own
srs. would he reduced from one half to
three-fourIhs.
