Breckinridge and Lane, were and are enemies to the Union of the States as it exists, and advocates of a dis memberment of the Union, is a calumny as false as it is ridiculous, and a charge the truth of which we repel and deny. Resolved, That the Democracy of Virginr ia, in Convention assembled, cordially ratify the nominations of John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane, for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States. Resolved', That we adopt and affirm the following resolutions : " First.
