GOVERNOR WALKER.-No executive officer
in this country has, by his conscientious,
bold, and manly bearing in all his official
duties, won more firmly the confidence and
esteem of his people than has the Governor
of Virginia during his administration. He
has proved himself in every instance true to
the best interests Of the people, and has dis
played that wisdom which will give his adj
minisuation a place in history with those
most conspicuous in the past, when Virginia
was advancing to the high renown she held
among the States Of the Union, before her
reputation was damaged by recent attempts
ut legislation.
The people look to him now to guard and
protect her credit by interposing his veto
against any legislation which would interfere
with her solemn obligations. They believe
he will do it. They believe him equal to the
emergency, and will give him an earnest sup
port in bis effort to preserve the credit and
honor of the onwealth.-Leesbero

Considering how these rascals have sold
