- Massey knew as well as MALONE that
: their chance for success lay alone IN the
disturbance OF the State and the difficulties
cast in the way of the government. ne

sinuated distrust. of one class In another,

Suspicion. He adroitly inculcated the ldea
that all success was fraudulent, seeing tnat
il would not be hard to make an un'
successful man believe that the success1us
one owed his success to discredstabie arts.
Hence, with MASSEY all success was IN some
. sort under ccnsure, and all people VINO
were not rich were wronged and outraged.
Upon this point he so steadily and tngenl'
ously harped that such was the sense OF
wrong raised in some minds that it was not
difficult 10 incuIcate the idea that they were
not called on to pay anything; that they
ought to repudiate public as well as private
obligations, and should not do anything or
. nav anything towards maintaining gov
eminent or paying public revenue.
This was the sort OF education that he
cndeayored to spread abroad. Indeed he
had in his own life set very slack.twisted
example as to his sense Of personal obliga-
ton. cutting short his OWE yearly contribu-
ton to the public revenue to the ,economl-
ca. amount OF twenty cents-tax' on a

It has, we suspect, been discovered be
not iniudicious in the "FRIAs Tuck OF the
Des,ructives to get up wrangle amongst
the classes and professions. There are
signs that other guerilla orators are on the
same line; for there has been sort OF con-
temporaneous exploitation in different parts
OF the Stnte. -, ,.. IS ... -,
One Captain BLAIR, Of the Southwest, has
made good beginning, and Captain sTo-
VAIL, the eager partisan OF Henry county,
who has proved faitbless to his own imam
cial pledges and eaten up his distinctly
proclaimed words, has branched out into
dissoiutc opinions that are said to be alien
TO good order and social peace. There are
other signs of drifting into dangerous doc
trines by men from whom better things
should have been expected.
Rnt ihia il mt Observation-Disclosures men
begin the downward way people Will not
be astonished at their degradation and the
periodical disclosure that another step to-
wards ESTABLISHMENT has been taken.
MASSEY is the sharpest professor OF the
art to deprave men OF them all, and they
have been obliged to confess it. MALONE
is a shrewd judge, and he foresaw what a
jewel Of public disturber there was in
MASSEY. No other man would have suited
him so well, and probably without him he
would not have embarked upon the business
of repeating laws, upsetting courts, and
.revoutionizingt the government OF Virginia.
For all the highly respectable and really
gifted and reliable men declined to so with
him into the perilous business Of re-
sisting the general will Of the real
people OF Virginia. He was left to a
bakers dozen OF cunning tricksters or
reckless partisans. MASSEY was his great
tool. PAUL was bold and devil-may-care
wrangler RIDDLEBERGER lodging, hdg-
ETY., Indifferent talker. Indeed, there was
not a man in all his troop that challenged
the respect or the belief OF any Intelligent
man. The repute OF every one OF them
IenueFeu t0clr oSSeFtl0uS anu ehe1h eASe
ments alike unworthy OF trust Oh, faith. so
MASSEY was the man, and MASSEY has set
the line OF talk and trick.
MASSEY began most prominently the arts
to excite social and business dtscord ana
the alienation OF class from class. That
was big undertaking, which included the
establishment Of the general hostility to all
men OF wealth and all men of success, and
it was further designed to weaken the sense
OF public obligations and impair the sense
OF sympathy and the feeling of good neigh
borbood amongst men Of all classes. 1t was,
indeed, a movement and an agitation to-
wards social and political dissolution.
Now, this is a matter which should in
crease the vigilance Of the people and make
them more determined than ever to resist
the evilteachings, with their vile purposes,
OF that Destructive party whose disturb
anees, unless checked efectually and perma-
nently, threaten to bring the grand old
state of Virginia into utter degradation and
ruin, 1-Si~-@14..,. H.. i 4 .......s
