THE COLOR QUESTION.
Mr.. Camm Pattcson. Of Buckingham
in secOnding the nomination of George
Perkins. Esq. Of Charlottesville, for At
t0rney-General before the convention on
Thursday. said: do not mean 10 say any
thing in disparagement Of the other can
ddates. All are Vireinians. | believe him
10 be the most suitable candidate because.
though he has removed to the Piedmont
section of the State he was born and raised
ard reared in Southside Virginia and
having been born there he knows the dread
ful nature of the race conflict IN virginia.
1''is knowledge will spur him TO extra ex-
cr;ion. He is perhaps the most accom-
plished speaker in Virginia, and know be
will endorse the sentiment now
here publicly utter in the pres
ence Of representative people of Nir-
ginia. and it is this: The white
people Of Virginia discovered tins country,
cut down its forests, and planted here the
seeds Of its development. II IS their home
by discovery, by inheritance, and they
mean to control their own state govern
ment right, but right or wrong they mean
to control it. They make, no war on the
colored race. They are willing to give the
colored man all his rights of personal Sc
curity. personal liberty. and private pro
nertv, but they are not willing that he
shall hold the Offices which control
their State policy. The man who
is a Republican in Southside Virginia
is in the main a Republican from
plunder aud not from principle, caring
nothing for either of the great par
ties of the country or principles. They
make politics a business. They are espe-
ciallv dangerous because they add in some
instances the presage of past good family
TO a natural desire to gain as much as pos
sible hv the sacrifice of all that good men
hold dear. Led by a political Clopeck like
William Malone, who belongs this class,
il makes the impending canvass one
Of great importance. Because | belcY9
George Perkins to be-in fact, know him to-
bo-an elegant lawyer, gentleman OF un-
blemished private character, a speaker Of
great ability, and beyond everything else
identified thoroughly with the idea that
white men must rule virginia. Is the reason
which induces me to place our standard in
his hands.
