pie but has come short OF doing that
which The people expected him TO do
when elected. They expected him TO
act with the democratic party or at
east not TO anlagonize it. Is he doing
for Virginia what it Is bis bounded Au-
ty 10 do, TO uphold her fair name and
advance her interests go far as il lies
in his power {? No, Mr.. President IT,.

Virginia he is representing himself; bis

ain Virginia" Shall we concede IL |?
Or shall we assert that the people rule?
May ask in the name of Justice and
in the name of sweet liberty, why
'lumber the Indignation of Vlrginia's
democracy Why stand we here idle.
Why should we not speak out and lei
its voice be heard within their ancient
walls as it has been heard 10 days gone
by. Y es, let it speak with its thrilling
toner, loud ana long, distinct and clear
that Gen. VIM. Malone who is now
posing as a republican shall not be
mistaken 10 knowing the feelings Of
patient but insuled people. No Mr..
President we have not 1isgraced Vir-
ginia, but we have INDICATED her hon.
or, her virtue, and her intelligence, and
her name to-day shines brighter than
It ever shone before. By a ma ionty
Of 10000 freemen she has vetoed Ma.
hone and his methods of bargain and
sale, and declares 10 the world that
she has no mas ter save aud except the
sovereign will of a sovereign State.
We want the world to know that Vir-
ginla is free, and we are not going to
the republican party where Gen. Ma.
none has gone. That is what grieved
him so, what gave birth 10 the mali
cious SANDER he uttered, when he said
we had disgraced the Stale. Virginia
has nothing TO be asham cd of unless
it IS VIM. Malone, who in trying to
disgrace Virginia, has dsgraced bim-
self. She has never disgraced herself
nor any one else, but when one OF her
seus becomes 30 lost to virtue as 10
disgrace himself, it is with sorrow and
humiliation she learns the fact.
In closing Mr.. Newberry said /: The
republican party no doubt think they
have gained much by the new combi-
nation while the people of Virginia
are certain they will lose nothing in
the end, for wherever Wm. Malone
leads wreck aud ruin will follow close
behind, as the touch of his hand is like
the pesllence that walkelh 10 dark
ness and the destruction that wasteth
at noon day." Now as to the right 10
Instruct: no one, presume, will deny.
That right is older than this govern.
rent 1t is the inherent right OF a
free people and for more than two hun
dred years has been respected with few
exceptions. 1t is the power bebiud the
throne aud y disreg, ard it is as unwise
as II is dangerous and undemocratic.
And now in conclusion Mr.. President
| ak IN the name Of the good people
OF Virginia that the resolutions BE- adop-
ted. l believe it is eur duty TO do so.
The people Of Virginia demand it Of Us
as a vindicauon of her honor aud the
self respect of her people.
