The Daily Dispatch: January 26, 1861., [Electronic resource], James Lyons, Esq., a candidate for the Convention for Henrico County. (search)
Hanover. In this county, a few days since, nominations were made for the Convention. The nominees were Col. Geo. W. Richardson, (under the issues of other times, Whig,) and Capt. Wm. Nelson, (who was under those issues a Democrat.) They are both devoted to Virginia and in favor of the much-talked-of guarantees; but the Colonel is more thorough and prompt in his ideas of the policy for the times than the Captain, as generally understood. The Captain is for "exhausting our remedies in the Union," and the Colonel, while willing to try remedies, is unwilling to "exhaust ourselves" in the trial. On the contrary, he is for arming while we debate. In these nominations party feeling is in a great measure overslaughed. This is right.--We consider any attempt to revive party feeling that existed under old issues and was aroused by the leaders of other days, as calculated to do us infinite injury, and contribute more than anything else to the embarrassment of the measures demanded

To Messrs. Palmer, Putney, Davenport, Richardson, Gardner, and others.-- Gentlemen: Your letter inviting me to become a candidate for the Convention, to be held next month, has been read by me with feelings of great personal gratification.--The number of persons by whom it is subscribed is a pleasing evidence of the kind feelings which the people of Richmond have for me. Besides the persons who are subscribers to your letter, a great many have solicited me to be a candidate for the Convention, and I cordially make my acknowledgments for such a manifestation of confidence. The position which you propose to assign me is one of the gravest and most fearful responsibility; and as you think I may be of service in the deliberations of the State, you are welcome to use my name as a candidate for the Convention. It is proper, however, that I should communicate to you my position, as I do not wish any one to vote for me or against me under a false impression. Letters and spee

he South will never be prevented from shedding our blood, and desolating our homes by resolutions, ordinances, or any other mere paper bulwarks. If it costs too much now to raise and instruct enough troops to defend Virginia, what will it cost to do so, after a battle has been fought, and lost by uninstructed troops? When thousands of her best men and soldiers are in bloody graves, and millions of property has been destroyed. The school boy who cannot figure out economy and safety in preparation has made but little progress either in arithmetic or common sense. The proposed preparation is not intended to be aggressive, but defensive. If the State designs to submit, without security for the rights of the South, be it so, but if these rights are to be insisted on, her safety should not be trifled with, and nothing can insure it but the means of resisting attack. These, fellow-citizens, are my views, briefly and frankly stated. G. W. Richardson. January 24, 1861. ja 26--1t
