permitted to live apart. We have exhausted every possible means to leave and live in peace. Seward has deceived us, by making us believe he was for peace, and that no war was meditated, when he and Scott were preparing to tie us hand and foot. Virginia, in her great heart, desired peace, and stood between the belligerents for months, with the olive branch extended. Her counsels were unheeded, and the proclamation of that arch-scoundrel, Seward, aided by Virginia's Benedict Arnold, went forth to subjugate the South. Will the young men of Virginia stand by and see this outrage perpetrated? No! no!! no!!! Then rise, young Virginians, as one man, and vindicate your soil and your ancient renown, and drive the invader from your soil. Your cause is just. It is a sacred cause. You act on the defensive. God is with you, because your cause is just. Let no craven heart be found to pollute the soil of Virginia. Be temperate, be orderly, be brave, but be invincible. Virginius.
