these advantages were secured to the
State by5Governor Price, at time when
there was great antagonism between the
eastern and western sections of Virginia.
Having devoted so much of his time in
the legislation just alluded to, and having
been so successful, think there could be
no more suitable man selected at this
time to further the interests of our entire
State. With reference to those questions
which our political party is interested in,
the more economical administration of
the government, the detection of frauds,
the prosecution Of offenders, the establish
ment Of tranquility throughout the
Union, the placing of our finances upon
firm and substantial basis, and protect
ing the interests of the people against
corrupt administration, Governor Price
would be all that true Democrat could
desire. II is needless to say, that he
could be trusted to battle for our princi-
pies, not having in the whole course of
his political career, shadow of reflection
upon his integrity, not spot or stain
upon his escutcheon. But do not wish
to do anything more than merely suggest
my own views without consultation with
any one, believing that our Representa-
tives will fully appreciate the great i'm
portance and responsibility of their posi-
tion, and that they will not, hastily and
unadvisedly, determine for or against any
particular individual.
