TUESDAY, OCTOBER %, 1872.

On Tuesday next the people of Virginia, IN
common with those of the United States will
be called upon to perform one of the most I'M
nortant duties their State has ever imposed
upon them. 1t becomes a question whether
BY retaining the management and control OF
their State government they shall enjoy the
security and protection that it affords, or by a
suicidal inaction allow it to be wrested from
their hands, and like those Of her sister South
ern States, become an engine of oppression, and
an agent for extorting from them the hardly
earned fruits of their dligent labors.
In all emergencies Virgiriaus have been true
to their State, indeed so beautiful has been their
devotion, that it has been with just pride that
they have witnessed their conduct held up as
an example to the wavering In the coming
contest will they sleep on their rights; will they
renquiSh their claims to all patriotic emotions;
sell their birthright to the virtues Of constancy,
patriotism and devotion to their State, which
they have always cherished; suffer her to be
dragged down from the high position that she
occupies, and this without any reason, but be-
cause, forsooth, they will listen to the dangerous
whispering of a prejudice which tells them not
to vote for man because he was once their
enemy? With the means in their hands if they
fail to use them the shame will be upon their
orp heads
