The Daily Dispatch: April 17, 1861., [Electronic resource], Virginia money. (search)
ive a large majority in favor it; certainly, judging from the large number of secession flags floating from nearly every house-top, there are very few Unionists in our village at least, and from conversations I have had with prominent gentlemen from all parts of the county, I have good reason to believe that this one sentiment pervades the hearts of a majority of the people, who feel restless under the yoke of a Black Republican President. The people of this once proud Old Dominion have been under the rule of Abraham Lincoln quite long enough, and I am sure that none feel more keenly the humiliating position occupied by Virginia than the people of the much abused Southwest, and I know that when the tocsin of war is sounded, our gallant mountain companies will be among the first to respond to the call, and go north to battle for "Southern Rights," and or the preservation of Southern honor; and assure you they will prove formidable foes the weakly city soldiery of the North.
