POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.

The proceedings Of the Democracy of Norfolk Bo.
rough, Nirg lnia which we publish to-day, will ar
rest the attention and claim the calm perusal of all
who are not devotees. TO nn, rather than to princ
pies Sanctioned by the presence and participation
of such men appear in the proceedings TO which
REFER the people OF eastern Virginia will not hes
tate to rally at once m the support of President Ty
Ter next November. t
The plans Of Mr.. Editor Richie will be thwarted
the Democracy Of Virginia will abandon Mr.. Van
buren,, and the contest will finally be narrowed down
TO Tyler and Clay. We regard this movement an
important one. 1t originated at the proper point,
and is directed by the right men. With such men as
Sharp, Mayo, Taylor, Allyn, Cooke, Mhado, and
Whiting for leaders, the Democracy of Eastern Vir-
gina will foil the schemes of the wire workers in
the Old Dominion. We know these gentlemen well,
and we assure our readers that they of con-
summate abilites-unquestioned Republicanism, and
mcrlted popularity. This movement will be followed
by others OF a kindred character throughout the
State, and Virginia will throw OF the yoke of yassal-
age to Tie Richmond junio body opoH zeal hacks,
to whom the central Clique Of Missouri may be apty
compared, and who will share a like defeat with them
in 1874.
We make no manner of doubt that il Tyier ticket
shall be in Virginia next fall, II will be success
full The people with the President, though poll
he'ans may oppose him. 1t was so in Wise's district,
and II was in the Norfolk Congressional district
last spring, and it will be throughout the whole
State next fall. How can il be otherwise A ma
jority OF the Wings Of Virginia anti bank, and

Clans and of the partisan presses ihere TO restrain

manifested in the Norfolk resolutions. MOI single

The chairman, w w. Sharp, Esq has been long at

the people who Apr ciate the frmness and indepen-

country, will soon rally and organize in defence Of
an administration, that has done more for the advan

nation, than any admnisti alton the Jays Of

We call upon our friends in Missouri and Illinois
TO stand frh-to grid their armor, and TO be ready
