ton. Messrs. S. NJ. and jacob Yost,
the editors of the Valley Virginian,
speak against him in no uncertain

Malone" They say that it was 1.-The
creation Of Il relentless tyrant deter
mined to rule or ruin and to prosti-
tute organization to enthrone him
self as absolute dictator in Virginia
and to s:'biect the Republicans Of
the State to his will and addition
reduce them to the condition OF mere
vassals, to obey his orders and to
submit to every humiliation that he
may see fit to impose

whole scheme from beginning to end
should be rebukel and repudiated,'
and that the country should be mott

GINA hive not been reduced to the
servile condition of slaves, wearing
tho brand of Malone, Invested of
every manly impulse and all manly
courage"
They speak of an "engino of OPP
preston" "badgo of degradation"
'mastcrs lash upon the back of his
servile followers"
They thus forecast the pernicious
results of his possible election:

MIR. William @. Pendleton, clerk

Capt. j. Henry Rives, another old
time Republican,and formerly United
