Expectation Of Jpomen to Eirsinia IL 1920
The enterprising colonists.- says Holmes, ssbe-
ing generally destitute Of families, Sir Edward
Sandys, the treasurer, proposed to the Virginia
company to send over wives for the planters.
The proposal was applauded, and ninety sgiills,
young and uncorrapt,' were sent over ia the
SHIPS that arrived that year, and the year fol-
lowing sixty more, handsome and well recon-
mended to the company for their virtuous educa-
ton and denieanor. The price Of wife, at first,
was one hundred pounds Of tobacco-but as the
number became sca1k the price was increased
70 one hundred and fifty pounds, the value OF
winch, IN money, was three shilling per pound.
This debt for wives, it was ordered, should have
the presidency Of other debts, and TO be first re-
coverable." Another writer says that ssIt would
have done mans heart good to see the gallant
young Virginians Fastening to the water side,
when ship arrived from London, each CARRYING
bundle Of the best tobacco under his arm, and

Napoleon's Hear.--When Bonaparte d led al
st. Helena, it is well known that his heart was
extracted, with the design Of being preserved.
The British Physician who had charge Of tina,

sin among water and retired to rest. leaving two
tapers burning beside it in his chamber. y lie Of.
ten confessed to friends, while narratng the par
ticulars, that he felt very nervously anxious as
the custodicr of such deposit, and though he
reclined, he did not sleep. While lying thus
awake, he heard during the silence OF the night,
first a rustling noise, then plunge among the
water in the basin, and then the sound Of an OBJ
ject falling with a rebound on the floor, all oc-
curing with the quickncss Of thought DR..
D sprang from his bed, and the cause of
the intrusion on his repose was soon. explained
1T was an enormous rat dragging the heart Of
Bonaparte to his hole. "A few1moments more,
and that which before had been too vast n its
ambition, to be satisfied with the sovereignty Of
continental Europe, would have been found
even in more degrading position than the dust

% Jockey Of Norfolk be not so bold,

For Dickon, your master, is bought and sold"
Such were the famous lines thrown into the
tent of the Duke of Norfolk the night preceding
the battle of Boswouh Field; and although il
is not applicable in its terms to the "Napoleon
OF the Press" as he has been sometimes called,
vet it would be well for Mr.. Richie to remem-
Der the moral that may be drawn from it, which
he seems most sadly to have overlooked In his
last paper. He swaggers and busters as If he
were" confident against world in arms" He
wants no aid from the State rights Republicans
who voted for General Harrison in 1910; no.
not he Mr. Van Buren, wanted their aid most
terribly in that memorable contest, If our memo
nv does not fail us but now the editor Of the
Enquirer cares nothing for ,hem-fouts them
in the teeth--tells the country that his magnf-
cent majority of 1900, in the great State Of
Virginia, in 1910, is undiminshed, and that, as
to the Slraightouts and old fashioned Repubi-
cans who voted against Mr.. Van Buren, in
1910, he cares not pinch Of snuff for them
The Republican party has Mr.. Ritchies word
for it that Virginia Is safe for Mr. Van Buren,.
Well, we admit that vote of 1900 is great
matter in that of great State. But perhaps
the Democracy of the country may not so regard
it and that, after all, they would feel safer to
have the whole body of the old Jackson men, of
1928, united. Take care, Mr., Richie, lest you
may be accused of petuancy in old age, rather
than have credit for that wisdom which has
heretofore characterized you. You have diff
6cult game to play, and we would advise you by
all means to keep your temper. The Harrison
Democrats have already been sufficiently abus-
ed by your CONDUCTORS. There is no good reason
why you should add to the outrage. BE careful,
good Mr.. Editor; the battle Of Bosworlh field
has not yet been fought

THE DEMOCRATIC TYLER CONVEN-
TION.

The proceedings of the Tyler Convention,
which assembled at Columbus, Ohio, on the
9th instant, will be found in to-day's paper, and
will be read with.interest by all The friends of
the Administration, and with attention by the
whole country
The address and resolutions express impor-
tant truths, in eloquent and determined Ian
guage. We are firmly convinced that if the
chains riveted on the People by the demons of
party, were only rent asunder, that President
Tyler would, at this moment, have greater
number Of honest and enthusiastic friends and
supporters, than any one of the candidates in
the field. And the day will come when the free
men of this country will break the wires OF their
cages.
1t cannot be denied that this Administration
has been signalized by more beneficial acts,
than any which has preceded it for many years
by the restoration of the public credit and the
currency; the revival of business; the ,ermina-
ton of the Florida war; and the Treaty of
Washington, which, of itself, was greater
achievement than all the acts of Mr. Van Blu
ren's Administration combined 1t was enphat-
ically Diplomatic triumph, and would, alone,
distinguish the Administration under which it
was consummated. What great act was ever
performed, or even contemplated, by Mr. Van
Buren,, while President or otherwise 1t may
be called a great act, in one sense Of the word,
for his Globe TO viluperate the President, and
the Great American Statesman, who effected the
settlement of our ancient and hitherto incu-
rable difficulties.
The resolutions make manly and proper de-
claration of war against the Jacobin organ,
which has SO unjusty villifed the President,
and all 1rho endorse ii. Such bold declara-
tons inspire true Republicans with hope, and
nerve them for the conflict with the des-
pots who design TO enslave and plumber the
People. 1t was the polite and proper course,
according to our comprehension To SUR over
indignies, or to be Indifferent to insult and in
jury, is TO submit; and in such times as the
present, to be dependant on party managers, is
TO be treated as DEFENDANTS. We subscribe to
the Declaration of independence drawn up at
Columbus, and will cheerfully abide the issue
1t would be better to be literally extermnated in
the conflict, than to exist as political slaves.
But success awaits bold declarations, followed
by bold actions.
