VIRGINIA for TlrginianS.'

This cry deserves brief notice-cSpccaiiy

interests CT those who are ever making tie

Who stands at the head OF the party which
is Trying 10 gain popularity by using this
CRY? General WILLIAM MAHoNE. WHO is

What right, then, has man who la

general assault upon the men who hay
treated him not only with courtesy, but wit

Then what sense or proprety is there il

absurdity. None more than those who pro
claim the motto of eXclu>iycness have L
do with so-calied foreigner, in alliance
OF difIeIents sorts, in borrowing money ant
not pay ing it when due. Indeed such co6pc
ration 10 they conduct with "toreigners,
such liberties do they take with them (espc

We conjecture that as clear as the fact

that is the Foreigners"
Therefore it is all nonsense, this cry o
"Virginia for Virginians" in the mouths o
these people. 1t il, alas, too true, that Viz
ginia would be a great deal better off il many
who shout this cry were anywhere else but
Ia Virginia. Who Injuries US more ut this
moment than General MALONE, who denies
to our people express faclities:" Is il
IS Virginia for Virginians that denies to q
people facilities that everybody else enjoys,
by which they who pay one.eighth OF the
Etate taxes, are Injured TO. the amount OF
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars annually
