abroad. He has prostituted the high
Offices Of the country to corrupt, sorid, aud
| partisan purposes. He has slioFdinated
civil to military government, overthrown
State governments, and dissolved State
legislatures, and undertaken to pre-
scribe rules Of suffrage for the States. He
has suspended the great writ Of hdbens cer-
pus and subjected an unarmed and defence
less people to the domination Of his military
| underlings. He has arrested our country
| men without warrant or affidavit and hurried
them hundreds Of miles away to be tried by
| packed juries before seryiie and obsequiotIs
Judges, convicted them upon perjured testi-
mony, and transported them beyond our own
border to suffer and langHish and die in
northern dungeons. He has systematically
| robbed and plundered our sister States of the
South, and piled upon them load after load
Of public debt Until they despair OF resurree-
ton or relief, and in agony cry out, GLOW
long, o Lord, how lonsl" Such is the
enormitY Of the crimes Of the Admin
lstrailOn, such the abuse of power,
and such the corruption, that the American
people have at length becn thoroughly
aroused, and, alarmed for the safety of the
country, are determined, by the grace of
| God, to make one grand. united, mighty ef-
l
this is movement in which all good citizens
can heartily join. Old party preiudhes are
sacrificed, old ties sundered, and old issues
are buried and forgotten in the struggle for
emancipation from the rule of the would-he
dictator. The Anglo-SaXon race will not
| long wear the collar Of military master or
submit to the rule of military despot. Tie
American people are determined to assert
their inherent and inalienblc rights, and in
| the language Of the distinguished gentleman
from Madison General Kcmper), they will
come forth with uplifted brow and heroic
purpose to confront the issues Of the living
| present. 1t has been rightly said that this is
a movement Of the peOple-such an uprising
as has never before been seen in the history
of this country. The question with lls all is,
"W What shall we do to be s2ved?" And the
answer is at hand: We must sacrifice prej,l-
| dice on the altar Of our common country :;
| we must combine all the elements Of oppo-
Siti0n; we must concentrate our whole
strength or the platform and the ticket put
forth ut Cincinnati. 1t is too late to dis
cuSs that ticket now. We arc committed
to the movement Of which it is the cul-
| inination. Our fortunes were irretrieva-
bly, stakcd at Cincinnati, and we could
not 60 back if we would. We cln
only say, III the language Of Scripture,
"Speak to the children of Israel that they go
forward" The grand Liberal movement, Of
eiin1 49,, Eroeiey is the leader, has become Il
tuai :, Mu'e u popular opinion, so strong that
it would be vain to attompt TO stay its pro
gress or resist its mighty torrent. Why talk
OF Democratic tickCt2 The grand old
Democratic party, with all its glorious his
tory, will not stand in the way of the saliva
tion of the country. 1t has entered the field
as the ally of the Liberal Republicans, and
the two armies will together hurl solid and
massive column against an insolcnt and pre-
sumptuous foe. State after State il wheeling
into line. Every gale from the north, south,
east, or west, brings to our ears the shout
the victorious shout-of the Conservative
and Democratic hosts marching under the
banner of the Constitution to deliver one
Well-directed blow for freedom. Under this
sign we will conquer. Can any intelli.
gent man doubt where Virginia will
stand in this crisis? Where but in
the yan-in the forefront of the fight
with the trump of leadership in hand
Girding her ancient lOns, she will summon
her children from the scaboard and the
mountains, and they will como, responsive te
her call, like the men of Clan Alpine tc
their clIicttain's whistle. There mll>t be nc
disscnSions, no discord there must be per
feet concord and harmony Old-Linc Whig.
and Old-Linc Democrats, Unionsts and Sc
ccsSiouistS, must DC united as one man !; and
then if (Which God forbid) the black wave
Of Radictlism and dcSpotism docs sweeI
away the landmarks of liberty, VIC shal
have the consolation Of knowing that OH
whole duty has been done, and that Nirgini;
ut Ieast remains redeemed. [Grcat ap
