CANDID CONFESSIONS.
The Government presses daily mis-.
represent the results of the recen, elec-
tons, and the present positions of the
regeneraied States. A writer in the
Richmond Enquirer is more candid
In reference to the doctrines of Loco
Focoism, and their supposed ascendan-
cy IN the cabinet of Van Buren,, he
speaks IN language to which we desire
particular attention.-N. Y. Cour.
Indeed, SO wonderful has been the
reyulsion in politics since these doc.
trlnes have been supposed TO be favor.
oy the Administration, through the
Globe, that there are not now more
than two or,,hree* States north of Ma
son aud Dixon's line which the admin
lstratlon party can call their own. And
1t Is among thoselN orthern States where
the doctrines are known in very truth
and to their full extent. Let us look
to our circumjacent neighbors-Mary-
land, Pennsylvania, Ohio, kentucky,
Tennessee, and North Carolina, all
banking States, ready to flood US with
their paper, great and small, as soon as
we withdraw ours. Four of them a.
gainst the administration, and the other
two, Pennsylvania and North Carolina,
balanced On the fence. What, there.
fore, can Virginia promise herself by
joining her fortunes to those Of the Lo.
co Foco's! Nothing! absolutely no.
thing! but disappointment and mischief
At the bidding Of the Loco Focos, we
may destroy our banks-convulse the
State with u~nexampled disasters--di.
vide and PROSTATE the democracy--lei
the sceptre depart from Judah-and at
last have a worse paper currency than
we 0 enjoy. take it, therefore, for
granted, that the people OF Virginia
will not be lugged into this condition TO
satiate the ambition Of any mere expe'
rimenters."
sThis statement was made before
the New York elections had TRANSFERRED.
AGRARIANIsM.-The following re-
marks upon the restless spirit thai is a
work TO undermine the rights Of per-
| son and property, and the rights oil
ireemen throughout the land, are from
the Tioga pa Phoenix, a Van Buren,
paper. Let its brethren read and pom
der!
There never was a time when there
was more need of union Of action than
the present. Every effort is making to
ruin the country-to introduce a spir-
| it of radicalism subversive Of all the
fundamental principles of society and
ruinous to all existing institutions which
have made the country prosperous and
happy. A set o fharpies have crept in
TO the democratic ranks under the mask
of republicanism, and with oil the sub
telty of their leader, the arch fend,
they have obtained AN influence and a
sway that is truly alarming. Made OF
the shreds and patches Of all that is
mean AMI polluted !; raised and fostered
in the hot. beds Of atheism, and breath
ing the noissome atmosphere of moral
pollution, they will stick at no means
they will shrink from no effort to in.
fuse into the body polite their contain
mating and ruinous doctrines. They
havo talent, shrewdness, and cunning,
like the master spirit ofHell /; they can
transpose themselves INTO any shape,
to gain their eLds /; they will crouch to
any measures to make the great mass
of the people polluted as themselves
Parents who have children TO love and
educate, beware Of the communicating
influence Of the seductive spirit of inf.
deity and atheism. which is infuslne
itselfinto all our institutions I; beware
ofthat spirit of radicalism which would
tread down all the fabrics reared te
virtue, and turn the whole moral worle
into chaos"
The Broome. County IN. " Cour,
Ter, another organ of the Van Burer
party speaks in the following tone res

is applicable to them,) have been pla'
ced in nomination for the Assembly BY
the Democratic party in the city of N,
York. The Argus, we are sorry te
perceive, dissents from the nomination
and hints that the candidates are no

whether the admonition is not rather
