Voters, your country demands your votes.
--Your vote is a sacred trust; it is your duty to cast it. We do not wish to have this election either carried for us by default or that the enemy should take the citadel because you sleep.
Vote! vote! Your country demands that you should express your opinion.
If you think, with Botts, that we have no cause of complaint, vote for him!
If you do not, vote, vote as true men. Give him no negative vote by a refusal to appear at the polls.
But if you wish Virginia to be free, independent and prosperous, vote for Randolph, Steger, and Robertson.

Mr. Botts in favor of secession.
--The Virginia Guard, published at Clarksburg, Harrison county, Va., contains the following in its issue of the 1st February:
7"In a private letter of the 28th ult., the Hon. John M. Botts says:
"'When Eastern Virginia goes out of the Union, I intend to take up my residence in Western Virginia, provided it constitutes a part of the United States.'"
It will be seen by the extract above, that Mr. Botts, though running to-day as a Union candidate, is in fact a Secession candidate in disguise.
