A Warming to Virginia.

A Warning to Virginia.
j As We have pretty extensive eirc'ila-
4 tion across the river, we feel in duty
! bound to warn cur readers in that State
that they may warn others, of an i'm
pending danger which is hanging over
them. There is paper published at
Marietta, of the true Valiandigham
Democratic persuasion. In It's last is
sue it has q leading editorial which it
would be @ell for Virginia to heed, be-
fore she feels the vengeance of the i'm
mortal editor aforesaid. The editor,
Mr. $. A Miller Esq, late Of this
Comfy, says:
Before any mai n cafi be a juror or act
I in any official capacity in Virginia, he
must take aud subseribesto anseath. that
+ he will uphold and defend Il he govern
meRt of Virginia as viadicated aud res
tored By the Convention which assenIs
/ bied at Wheeling on the eleventh day
eff June, 1861, ard lie Is a nsentber-ot
the Democratic parry and a resident ief
Parhetsburg, lie mast take this oath before
he IS uilo,eed 70 teace hislsone on tiIeroit-
roae1. ~
t Now we submit that it is too bad not
to let "a member of The DEMocRATIe
RARITY leave his home without taking
the oath of allegiance. In this, we
think the authorities of Virginia are
too strict, If Mr. Miller represents the
thing truly then eresy naensJers Of the
Dentocrotic parry Is saspectedef disloyazty
l;6y The Virginia authorities. This is
l.manifestly too broad on assumption.
/ We believe there are members of the
party, here, at least, who might. be safely
trusted to leave ON the raiiroasi" " or
any other conveyance. We do not know.
however, that Mr., Miller would acknowl
edge them as Democrats, for his idea of
Democracy seems to be that, whosoeyer
does not so conduct himself as TO war;
rant a we'll groun ded doubt of his 10y
atty, has abjured his Democracy, and
become an Abolitionist.
After a fierce and terrible denuneia-
tion of the Wheeling Convention and
Governor pierpoint, who, we are told, is
sfnliserable tyrant,a who has by usur-
patton and the iron heel of military
power. crushed out the liberty of speech
and the press in that State, the terrible
editor concludes thas: The day Of RE-
rAIIArtoS WILL BE. MORE FEARFUL
AND BLOODY THAN ANY VIRGINIA
HAS YET SEEM
There! Virginians! You arc warned.
Tremble at the prospect of the ..tear-
f4l and dlaody rftaltatioe which Is i'm :.
Spending your devoted heads! Mr..
s.A Miller, ESD, viii net eondeseend
to warn you. again Woe! to Virginia.
and double woe! to Parkersburs! For
We are told By this same Tallandis CHAM
u.er, that the rarkersburg La1ltyencet
is enc Of the af1hiesfc + z4Jo7itfaa sheets, 2
and of course the people Of Patkersburs
are filthy Abolitionista.' In fact, the
hole Government Of Western Y Tirginia
are tyrannical Abolition traitors to the
constitutional State Government, of
which John Leteher is the only consti-
tutional head! And the people of West
ern Virginia who repudiate Leteher, and
the Richmond Junto, have thereby com
mitted the objectionable crime of'Ab-
.olitionisn, and just SO soon as the ere
constructed Democracy gain power the
fearful and bloody retaliation J" may be
looked for'S 80 s 9.
We think, however, these Virginia
AbolifieAtsts may venture to put in an
other crop,as we guess the Vallandig-
hammers will not be ready for their
fearful and bloody retaliation this
year.
