"There is one idea l wish to leave with
YOU: There is fear resting in the mind OF
the northern people in regard to the peo-
Die OF the South that is, that you will
not do your duty to the President in obey
ing the amendments to the Constitution,
which secure to all life, liberty, property
rights, and the fruits OF their labor. II you
will obey these amendments I believe this
country Of ours will be in peace and quiet"
Mr.. Sherman Wednesday expressed to a
distinguished citizen OF this State the wish
that he had qualified his language by ex-
cepting Virginia.; for, said he, there is no
fears that she willnot do her duty in the
respect mentioned. :, '. ..,t..fi.:a

with us. as for higher education, few
States could compete with Virginia. And
as for the University Of Virginia, having in

two educations, as 1t were, be would pc
