Here is a specimen of the whirlwind that is
sweeping over the Old Dominion. 1t is only
the beginning of the end of a great popular
revolution which is destined to raise the old
Flag ship Of Liberty from the mud and mire
OF inae ton, and place her with all her guns
In position and all her canvass swelling on the
topmost tide of that Resistance to Tyrants
which is Obedience to God.
