Virginia Democrats urge participation in the proposed convention of southern states

The turbulent Virginia Democratic Convention in Richmond had just adjourned and many members immediately convened a mass meeting.  The meeting heard from Mississippi representative to Virginia Peter B. Starke, who urged that Virginia attend a southern convention that coming June.  The gathering then agreed to a strongly worded resolution recommending that the Virginia Legislature accept the invitation.  (By John Osborne)
