CAHP BUFFALO,
PUTNAM CouNTT, Va, Feb. 8, '63.
Dear Sal feel sorry that there lis any
'lconfnsionb in the Convention where there
ought to be perfect harmony, and where
the members ought TO be united to meet
the crisis that Is upon us, and to enact
such asystem of organic law as will ren-
derour State prosperous, happy aud intel
ltgent, and will attract capital and p0pula-
tion to our territory and depend upon IL,
nothing viii do it but TO get rid of the
cursed old system OF oppression that has
enslaved the minds Of so large proportion
OF the white population of our State.
The questionis upon Gs whether we shirk
Il or NO and If the question of gradual
emancipation is left With the people thsv
Irill meet Il Gould we have desired a more
pFoPiLious time TO get rid of the old curse !?
Or lave we forgotten the onerous old sys-
tenn of oppression entailed upon us by our
masters of Eastern YIrgtniaI Do we want
our sons to grow up tnignorance Do we
wish our vast miuetal resoureesito lieydor-
mant 10 our hillsR Are we willing any
longer to remain without railroads to open
up our weAlthto the markets of the world I?
In q word, are we willing to remainfn the
same condition that We now are, ttkheh eio.
era Of rood and dr1wsrs of t0aier'' for our
old oppressors? trust not. Let us act
as men, and meetth emergency promptly
and cheerfullY, and redeem ournoble State
FROM the accumulated evils under which
We labor, aud take our place amongst our
sister States rs prosperous and as enlight-
ened as they are.
44SS VS. gov =hlAG RhAhb W our own lQ-
terests and tue interests Of posterity, let us
show tn the world that we are in earnest
aud equal to the crisis in which we are
placed, to wipe out once and forever the
cursed old system that has disgraced US
and brought on our beloved country allithe
fearful calamtties with which we are now
struggling and put down this cursed re-
bellion once and forever.
Let US remember that in this struggle
we are fighting for our liberties, for the
liberties of our children and for the rights
of man for all time to cone, that our
brethren all over the..country are looking
on as Interested spectators, that the OPP.
pressed millions OF Europe are interested
in our efforts, and trembling lestIthe ex-
pertinent of our Republican system of gov.
eminent should prove Il failure aud their
last hope die out.
Depend upon it it we d . our duty tvs 1Vill
triumph. And let US acquit ourselves like
mon and the blessings of posterlty will rest
upon us, and the history that VIC are now
making will be the brightest in the annals
Of our country aud of the world, and the
State that claims our citizenship will be.
come great and happy.
do hope that the gentlemen cOmpos.
ing your honorable convention may be ac.
tuAted by those patriotic and noble motives
and adopt such constitution as will re-.
main lasting monument OF their enlight.
ened patriotism, aud prove blessing to
our State for ever.
Your Friend, AZ.
