Col. Buckner and MIR. Garrison, federal
lists, are elected delegates to the Virginia
Legislature for Fauquier county. We IN
derstand the utmost exertions were made
by the democrats to carry their men, but to
no avail-The first named gentleman had a
majority of SO, the last 40.
THE RECONCILIATION between A
merica and Great Britain is source at once
of deep modification to the savage Var
Hazvks, and of exquisite delight to all no.
nest and good men. Proud and free we are
to acknowledge, that many, perhaps most,
of the good republicans falsely termed de-
mocrassl enjoy. real pleasure IN this happy
event. But the pride of opinion, and party
attachment, may induce some TO withhold
that acknowledgement which is SO lndls-
putably due to the Federalists, and to the
cool and moderate Of their own party
The outrageous, the savage and the silly
scrib5iers, who wage incessans war against
reason, literature and true philosophy those
who write and print, they know not what,
for the amusement of the least informed !;
such we viii not undertake to convince -
Do we not all know that determination
was declared by the leading democrats IN
congress, to fight G. Britain! They said,
C we, will reason no more; IL IS time to
fight! Did not federalists prevent this !!
Surely they triumptedi in that prevention
MANY federa,ists wanted better measures
-1han the pon-intercourse act; but in stop
ping there, they prevented 7oaat others IN

TOP1LSM.-One of the Baltimore de-
naocratic papers says, the settlement OF our
q differences with Great Britain has thrown
torgism fat on its back. The paper speaks
truth for rarity and we are happyto state
that it is French eoryism. The French TO-
2ies are abonaina5ly chagrined to find that
all their 1atering prospects 1of war with
England are vanished. ssrance--beloved,
adored France, must now crouch or make
war anon us it matters but little which.
Her friendship or her enmity, while we
are at peace with England, can do us but
little good or harm.

from whatever quarter it proceeds, would
render it impossible. Austria cannot and
ought not to look with careless indifference
upon the state of those powers, more espe-
cially Germany and Italy. Her interest is
too closely, too indissolubly interviewer with
the interest ofthose countries. The central
position of her monarchy causes her to come
too frequently in contact with those states
and the station she has held for centuries,
and the share she has taken in all great Eu-
ropean concerns, has connected her TOO init
mately with the whole body polite, to per-
nit her, without sustaining mortal wound,
to be torn from it.
His imperial majesty's wishes and senti-
ments are in perfect harmony with the uil-
alteraby prescribed interests Of his domini-
ons. Next tothe duty Of providing tor the
welfare OF his subjects and the support of
his throne, his majesty will at all times con-
slider those as the most sacred which spring
from sincere regard for the repose, felici-
ty, prosperity, and lawful freedom of his
neighbours. The emperor will never deem
himself authorised to interfere with the ia
trrnd relations of. foreign states, or to as.
sumo to be the judge of the n or their system
OF government, or their Development of
their power. He demands a Just recipro-
city. Far removed from ambition or iea-
lausy, The emperor will envy no other sove.
reign his power, mis- fame, or his just inau-
ence /; il is only in the exclusive claim to
these gatiyes that lies the object of ge-
neral apprehension, and the root Of everlast-
ing wars. 1t is not France which has gene
rated the present conflict, in the prosperity
and maintenance of which his majesty will
always teel an interest, Bat the progressive.
extenslon OF system, which under the in
definite title of a French empire, a1lowsEu-
rope to enjoy no other than its law. That
conflict Will cease, and all the wishes OF his
maj esty be fulfilled, when the reign of mo-
Iteration, forbearance, the reciprocal iede-
.pendence OF every state, respect for tn.
rights of each, the inviolabiity of treaties,
and the preponderance OF pacific councils
snail assutne the place of an arrogant system
OF sole and exclusive dominica.
BY what means, and to what extent these
Just wishes may be realized, his majesty
s,aves IN the hand Of providence. Only thas
much he ventures confidently to premise.
that even tor his own supreme interests, for
the undimnlshed preservation of his monar-
chy, ne will never adoptor require measures
which can encroach on the well acquired
rights, independence and security of other
states, and that if the success of his arms
should correspond with the justice of his
views, the same results Of the war from
which Austria expects an adequate guaran-
tee of her independence aad her future re-
pose, will at thc same time be in perfect har-
mon5 with the true interests of her neigh.
oors, and the common welfare of Europe.

PRESSURE, Sept. 18, 1903.
SIR, NY BROTHER,
My ambassador at Paris informs me,
that your imperial majesty is about to de-
part tor Erfurt, there to meet the emperor
Alexander. l seize with promptitude the
opportunity, which your approach to my
frontiers offers, to renew to you the assur-
ances of the friendship and high esteem
which 1 have vowed for you, and send my
lieutenant general, baron Vincent, to be the
bearer OF the invarable sentiments which I
have thus expressed. aatter myself that
your majesty h;s never ceased to be con-
WINGED of this, and that, if the false inter-
pretations which have been given to the in
terror institutions organized in my mo-
narchy, have for moment created any
doubts of my perseverance in my intentions,
the explanations presented by the count de
Metternich, on the subject, will have en-
tirely removed them. The baron de Vim
cent is also instructed to confirm this to
your majesty in detail, and to add all the
explanation that can be desired. I pray
you to shew him the same kindness, as that
with which you had the goodness to receive
him at Paris and at Warsaw. The new
marks OF favor that you may shew him, will
give me an unequivocal proof of the entire
reciprocity of those sentiments, md will
confirm that entire confidence, which has
left NO effort untried to give mutual salts

Have the goodness to accept the assn.

high consideration, with which I am, sir,

ever, thing hat busy mortals pursue with
