OF their allies. They already show ees-

Without 4ss,e negro cote they woad have
had not dozen members Of the House.
Nor coeld they have elected half dozen
senators. In fact, the pre'ience thatthey car

When we ~shaE have received the official

10 make the facts we have herein stated sc
plain that rsoboay will dare to dispute them
In the mean time, the reader can ask him
self what possible chance CASNON, or MA

WALKER, or MORTON, or EGaGoTy, or VIII

was twEce crthrice or five tunes as,large as
their maority. And yet take these sena
tors from the list OF Agitators and add then
to the ist-cf Debt-Payers, aoa there would
be fye.six1hs vote in the Senate in favor
OF the MecULLoCH bill.
Let the Conservative pTesc OF Virginia

is, to the negro votes. The white people OF
every couEty in'Virginia should take the
neossssxa.steps to establish the facts of the
case so that ahe, whole world xsay know not
