ADDRESS
Of the rirginij Jljiti-Jucksati Convention, to the
Ptuplc of yir^lnla.
Having' been deleg'ativl. by those who op
pose tlie election of Andrew J ickson as Presi
dent of, the United States, and having assem
bled in the city of Kichmond, pursintnt to our
appointment, and formnl an Electoral 'I’icket,
we feel it due to ourselves, to those w ho depu
ted us, and to t>ur country, to submit a brief
exposition of our views, on the very interesting
sub ject wliich has brought us together.
It is no ordinary occasion, which, at this in
clement season of the year, has brou'^ht so
many of us from our busiiu ss and our homes.
We believed that the dearest intereftts of our
country were at stake ; th it her character, her
])eacc and hajjpiness, and even the )»erma-
nence of iier free institutions, were in peril.
We feared the most pernicious conseciuences
from the election of (Jeneral Jacksun, and we
w ith a supply of Collee and Sugar, &c.
