SENTIMENTAL SIDE or QUE VIC
TORY.
There is a sentimental side to our re-
cent victory in this State that IL as graf
flying as ito purely political side. Could
We demand more unmistakable proof
than this election has given us that the
ancient spirit hich made old Virginia
10 renowned. still survives in our midst;
nay. II anything, that it il more wig
orous than II ever has been! The heart
OF every true Nirginian not only over
flows with the deepest emotions Of
gratitude ~ Almighty God for this SUI
pfeme deliyeraDce. but his soul is filed
| with pride that in spite Of the harsh
school Of poverty through which our
| people have been compelled 20 pass ioT 50
long a time; in optic also Of the degrad-
ing influence Of negro suffrage and the

makes necessary, Virginians are still in
every great emergency that touches
their manly instincts, as responsive to all
the demands Of the hour aud the occa-
sion as when Patrick Henry Murdered
from old ST. Johns, or President jan

The indignant protest against the ont
rageous arrest Of the election judges in
Charlotte. which ran like flame over

priately began in the very precinct in
which Henry lies buried. and it could |
not have been more earnest and reso-
lutte If it had been stimulated directly /
by his eloquent voice. That hatred 0f
tyranny which led the Virginians Of lis
day TO precipitste the Revolution. aud
that determination to control their
own domestic affairs which caused them
co PASS the ordnance Of recession were
fully eIemplifed in the emotions
which im2ellsd them to yots against
Malone with such unanimity. Was be
