mittingany section ofcountry to oulstrip

Wha X. in the United States Congress,
we T6ognize "the right men. in the
right face," having faithfully and hon,
eslly eprcsentod us in our struggle for
sepa lion, we shall deem il our greatest
ples & TO confer upon them our high
SlftheotheF.hands we reeog-
nize Jebn S. Garlic, our United States
Senator, the Judas of the 10th century
having betrayed and bartered Off his con.
stituents for Infinitely less than thirty
pieces of silver Hence we conclude,
TINT there's in the deepest depths of
politically infamy and degradation, a
depth still more profound, il is the next
and only place of honor or trust to which
this Iscoriot should be elected. That
we the yerv people who unanimously
elected him TO seat in the United States
Congress, and subsequently with equal
unanimity, endorsed his elevation to the
United States Senate, now, with equal
unanimity, request his immediate resig'
nation; yea, farher-we unconditionally
demand his resignation or expulsion, and
clamor for his arrest and Incarceration,
as rcbel--a traitor to his God aud his
country.

Virginia, as amended and offered by our
worthy Senator, w. T. Wiley, and be.
lleve that the sense Of the people, within
