Now, Sir in cur humble opinion, it ought
to he the chief ohicct Of every true Eirgi:ian,
to restore those injured persons Ia their for
mcr places anil the rem: fragment hac!i To the
old Mother Of Statesmen and this We expect
to DC able to TO- whether orr beloved tom
fcderacv is established or not. And rs M
al?.umcnt in this hchali, we would submit ::
HAT y great many of the active New. State
men have lost negro property by the war, and
ly the abolition Of slavery in TIE So.callci
New State: anal We find il All easy matter TO
teach them nnH, what they: refused to learn
hrrtofo,r. that IS that their true interests arc
| identified will, the South. ... "...
| We have also discovered al important fact,
which we here make known-that is, that
these white slaves, who heretofore rcLcllcI
against their masters and erected their new
State. still love to he ruled hy:a. class whom
they designate MS rich nicn, though in fact
some of them arc fifty thousand dollars worse
than nothing; and they have most generally
chosen these nrh men, many Of whom are, rs
we before observed, original negro holders, TO
fill their Offices; and where they have not
done ii, we expect, Ey our judiciollS mole Of
procedure, to bring the incumbentS over To
our interests, or otherwise 10 replace them
with rich men.
| Wien this is accomplished, and the mill.
tary power removed, which will I've done,
sooner or later, on some terms, then, whether
in the old Union or Southern Confclcracv,
these officers will have complete control OF
the people that placed them Empower, and cat
easily make them believe that M,ir true inter.
cstS also lie with the South: and bclirvin::.
this, they will bc anxious to become reunited
with Old Virginia. mid will ndw'yive some
Of my reasons for pursuing this policy: =
Fnst--lt is desirable that the two fac-
,ncnts Of the ancient State Of Virginia should
dc reunited, because the State WAS greatly il,

comes apparent that without some hclp the
Odd Dominion is bankrupt, $50 -.
Now, If tho western part, OF the State can
dc reunited to tho eastern portion, OH the old
basis, we can in few years tax it enough to
pay our entire debt; or If we should elect to
rrpnliate, then we can tax the people Of
MeSt Virginia to. pay for DIR negroes, which
their Yankee protectors have stolen, and to
rebuild our railroads, which these Northern
barbarians have, destroyed: ..',
secondlyy-lE We should not establish the
Southern Coniedcracy, We expect, at least
when we throw down our arms and come
back into the Union, to rc-establish the insti.
tuition of Slavery accordins'to the provisions
OF the old Constitution, and We cx1cct to
make West Virginia the place for catching
