a Few DiSturberS.

Think Of a Virginia Legislature without
PAUL, without MASSEY, without FULKER-
SON, without FRAZIER, and without LADY.
II would be pleasing sight to every true
yirginian to see such body. These men
are mere miscbief-makers. Those or them
who have any power exercise it always Tor
an evil, never for any good purpose. They
have for years kept the people Of this good
old State in such q condition OF VeXatious
excitement and unnecessary alarm that the
highest interests OF the Commonwealth
have thereby been greatly damaged.
What has PAUL ever done that was OF any
advantage to his constituents? What mea-
sure has he ever originated that was OF the
least benefit to the Common wealth? He is
a cross-grained, dissatisfied aspirant to con-
gressioual honors. and cares not one whit
more for the interests Of the people whom
he deceives than he does for those OF the
people OF Aighauistan.
What has recommended MASSEY to the
voters who have for years saddled him upon
the treasury OF the Commonwealth? Is 1t
because he represents his mother State to De
moor. peuniless, and destitute! Is it be-
cause he has practiced all the arts OF sedi-
tious enemy OF his race and created more
dissatisfaction among bis constituents than
had ever existed in the honored county OF
A,bemarle before he made it his business 10
preach against the rights OF property OF the
creditors OF Virginia MASSEY is pesti-
lent denagogue, and it will be happy day
for the Old Dominion when he is remanded
to private life. He, too, is looking to seat
in Congress and five thousand dollars q
year. To get that seat, he would sacrlhce
much more than he has ever been known to
sacrifice for the public welfare.
FULKERsoN is another disturber OF the
public peace, and preacher Of sedtion. He
Is dangerous demagogue-not merely
nestjent one such as MASSEY Is. FULKER-
SON will stop at nothing to accomplish his
objects. He has proved that by his course
In the General Assembly. He, too, will be
better servant of the people when at home
than il sent to Richmond. He can do no.
thing here that will benefit anybody. Let
HIM stay where il he can do 10 good, he
will at least be powerless to effect any evil
purpose. He also is working for "a seat in
Congress. But he will never get it. The
people Of his district have found him
out. et>$
FRAZIER and LADY will hardly ever visit
the Capitol again In the character OF rep
resentatires OF the fine old Scotch-trlsb
voters of Rockbridge. As the Agitators
Will be in wofui minority in the next
General Assembly, and as FRAZIER and
LADY can't do any harm except by casting
injurious votes, 1t might seem to be mat
ter OF indifference whether they reelected
or defeated. They are not by any means
dangerous demagogues, as they scan only
act In the capacity OF instruments. These
instruments must be used BY PAUL, FULK.
ERsok, Massey, or some other lesding spi-
rtt among the Agitators. They cannot do
aught OF themselves. Nevertheless, it will
81, be much better that they, too, should be
Kept away from Richmond next winter.
