loves Massachusetts,. I had forgotten
how much she loved her.
Mr.. Davis IN. Cl-Will my friend vote
to take the tax off OF Virginia tobacco,
which oppresses her people3
Mr.. Townsend-NO. A man who ia
not willing to pay for the tobacco he
chews does not deserve TO have any.
Shouts Of laughter and applause.l We
have had aspecimen within two weeks
Of how much Virginia loves Massachu-
sets. Inever shall forget how the wind
blew, and the thunder rolled, and the
storm came and beat upon this house
when the gentleman from Virginia Mr..
Harris) blew the party horn and told bis
friends that they mnst turn out
from the seat to which he was lawfully
slected, - man from chusetts-Field,
4 man equal in education, equal in ca
pacity, equal in social position TO any
man whom Massachusetts ever raised.
The equal Of any man whom Virginia
ever raised since the landing Of the pill
grims at Plymouth when my ancestors
came over, and Virginia walked up like
1 little man aud showed her love for
Massachusetts,. Individually, I have
had no quarrel with the gentlemen from
Virginia, They are most able set Of
and very amiabls aud
excellent gentlemen, but they were train
ed in an old Virginia school Of politics,
and that is complete perversion Of
the Assemblyis catechism. The catechiAm
which has been taught for the last 100
years in Virginia Is the question, what
ls the chief end Of man? Answer-To
promote Democratic harmony. (5houts
Of laughter.) That ia all Virginia has
been attending TO. Twill not find faalt
with Virginia further than l AN obliged
to, but Virginia, after hundred years
with 4 single industry is found backing
up her little wagon TO the rest of the
world and asking the rest Of the world II
It will not load little property into her
wagon. She is u State which started
ahead with better education thsa any
State, except Massachusetts,, with more
wealth and more power and influence
than any other State, and now even
New Jersey, which God made last,
OF all things that were made; for when
God completed the work Of creation be
had load Of sand over aud dumped It
down on the shore OF the Atlantic, and
called 1t New Jersey, Even New Jersey
went to work with her mudsills, while
Virginia went to politics; and now the
Yankee notions produced in Newark,
New jersey, would buy out, body and
breeches, any Democratic State in the
the Union. rs too late for me to set up
for popularity, or to say, thought ! am au
old man, am not afraid to be called 4

men may succeed in it, but cannot. II
