The Daily Dispatch: may 23, 1861., [Electronic resource], How stands the West? (search)
How stands the West? --The Parkersburg News answers the question: Four-fifths of the counties in Western Virginia, taking the Blue Ridge as the line, will give majorities for secession. Not far from three-fourths of the counties in Virginia west of the Alleghanies will go for secession. A decided majority of the counties in North-western Virginia, west of the Alleghanies and north of the Kanawha, will be for secession. Not over three or four counties in North-western Virginia off of the line of Pennsylvania and Ohio, will give majorities for remaining under Lincoln's Government, while at least as many of the counties on the Northern State lines will go for secession. Under such circumstances the project for a division of the State, by a formation of a new State out of even Northwestern Virginia, is simply ridiculous.

The President has been urged to possess the principal towns in Eastern Virginia, but it is not probable he will do so. At any rate not until after the election.

Union men and Secessionists. The vote of this day will dispel forever the delusion which Republican journals continue to cherish, that a strong Union party is left in Virginia. Except in certain sections of Northwestern Virginia, the State will be a unit in its vote for the Ordinance of Secession.--There are no parties left in the State, or, if there be, it is a generous rivalry which shall achieve the greatest labors and sacrifices in the common cause. The old Union party that was, stands like a Gibraltar in defence of the honor and independence of Virginia. The only Union it now tolerates is the union of the ocean rock with the assaulting billows, which it dashes off at every contact with empty spray and foam.

Admitted a citizen. --Mr. John Lindsey, the well-known butcher, who is a native of "Merrie England," and who has been a resident of this city for 27 years past, was yesterday admitted a citizen of the sovereign State of Virginia by the Hustings Court, Judge Lyons presiding. He is the first gentleman who has been "naturalized" before the above Court since the passage of the Secession Ordinance. Since Mr. Lindsey's arrival in Virginia he has certainly afforded about as many indubitable evidences of his intention to become a citizen of the Old Dominion, as any gentleman with whom we are acquainted.
