Mr.. HIAINE'S generous but just PROPOSE
ton to pay Virginia for the territory of
West Virginia, SO that she may be enabled
to reduce her Indebtedness, meets the vO-
lent opposition of General Mahonc's Wash
ington organ, which denounces it as Il pro
posed grab from the United States Treas
ury." In its eagcrncSs to offer objections to
the adoption Of the proposition referred to,
the organ doesn't hesitate to resort TO the
use of incorrect statements respecting the
debt of Virginia, and to cndcavor TO have it
appear that the democrats want to make
Virginia responsible for the onc-third OF the
debt that is assigned to West Virginia.
Virginia and her creditors alike agreed that
West Virginia was bound for onc-thirl Of
the debt. and West Virginia herself goes
so far as to acknowledge that she ought to
be held liable for 4 portion ofthc debt But

posed, AID what Mr.. Blaine now opposes. is

If STILL there remain any true democrats
or patriotic Tirginians who are unwilling TO
support Mr.. Massey, and by this unwilling
ness refuse to help to break the power of
the Malone blight on their State, let them
remember. that but for Mr.. Massey there
would have been no big four" and but for
the big four they we'll know that Virginia
to-day would be but the auction block of
her noble sons. who politically chained and
colared, would be sold by Malone to any
party that would pay his price; that her
laws would be blots in courts of justice her
honor unable to buy breakfast, and that
her honesty. chivalry and aristocracy be
but terms Of mockcry and derison i'll the
mouths of her traducers and enemies. All
of last winter, during the sessions of the
Legislature, every true democrat, and we
may add, every true republican in the State,
watched with admiration, and heartily ap-
plaudcd every victory of the big four over
the detested boss and his pledge bound po-
litical serts; and when Newbcrry cried
this way, freemen," and when the adjourn
ment came without the netarious measures
having become laws, every true Nirginian
accepted the great service Mr.. Massey and
his friends had rendered their State as 4
precious gift and all then were eager to
manifest their gratitude in words. Now
