The first column of page 2 starts with a report on "The Virginia Insurrection." In the weeks after the rebellion was put down, the editors attack "the hasty mode of taking justice which some of the Virginians have adopted. . . . This mode of slaughtering the black population, without trial or the form of trial, is revolting to human nature. The honor of Virginia is implicated."
