benefits than are proposed by the DemocraIlc

agreed upon by the acquiescencs, Of the Demo
hone and Riddleberger. I dismiss this cues

as a point OF honor, to observe the rS..role they

at the close of the war-that all should go home,
be good citizens and observe the constitution an nt

as to the Go feel
the election of Gov. Wise, and in the re-e!ection
of Gen. Malone though they are cOnfSd, ed
fties PRIDE in their their achievements nor her

| now to join with all others, North and South, II
| the maintenance of Republican principles, anc
we, therefore, feel for their success the SAINT
earnest desire, and for the same reasons that W.
struggled forsueeess in Ohio aud expect it in New
| York. 1t would be a
| MEMORABLE TRIUMPH IF VIRGINIA,
| the mother of States and statesmen, should nov
| break the sectional line that threatens coun
| try with constant contention, and, governed b!
the best interests of her peQple Join with those il
the North who agree with her in principle in tn,
| adoption of national policy that viii, as W,
| honestly believe, confer greater benefit
upon, the whole people than can be don,
by. the Democratic party. In former times
| before slavery divided sectional lines
| the people of Virginia, North Carolina
| Tennessee and Kentucky took the lead unde
Mr.. Clay IN support of the principles of Johl
| Marshall, for which we now contend. 1, there
| fore, earnestly invoke the intelligent and con
| servative people of Virginia to decide the ques
tions that have presented without respect to tn
| events or result of the war, and, above all, =
| see to it that at the approaching election ever,
! citizen entitled by law to vote shall have an op
| portunity to cast one honest ballot and no more
| and to have that vote counted. If this is done
and your example is followed, l have the con
| fdenee to believe that the end of sectional ami
| mostly is at hand, and our country will again b
| in the highway to unboundsd d prosperity.
