though The state ofthe colonial, The foreign, or lhe

A ID ID r. f S $
or THE
DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE
10 the People Of Virginia /!

Another political campaign has commenced.
The important considerations involved in The
contest, make ii the duty Of the Democratic Cen
trail Committee appointed by the Legislative Con-
yention, to address such remarks 10 lis political
friends in the State as may serve 10 explain The
principles and conduct of the two great parties
which divide the country. The course pursued
by The Wings of Virginia and the majority OF
the las. Virginia Legislature should also he
placed in lis true ligh, before The people. When
that is done, we hope that the Democratic party
will require nothing more 10 stimulate lis zeal,
and lead 10 the adoption of such an organization
as will make lis action united harmonious and eff
hcient.
The victory Of 1874 leaves much to be done
before we are freed from the control and influence
of misguided men. We still have foes 10 encoun-
ter dangers 10 meet, and obstacles 10 avoid. Not
only in our own State, but throughout The Union,
We see a party formidable in numbers, and
strengthened by the vast influence OF inco-pora-
ted wealth, directing all lis energies against
those rules of constitutional construction and
principles Of public policy, on which the freedom,
1 happiness and prosperity Of the country Gcfcnd.
However much the different portions OF that par
" NAV vary, in the arguments BY which ther en-
deavor TO justify their measures in the different
/ portions OF the country, II should I've relnemeerec
I that they strive for the attainment ola common
object, and, that their success must give cha
racer 10 our Government in lis practical opera
tons, which the trainers OF the Constitution could
not have anticipated.
To avoid this consummation, the Democratic
party has directed its whole energies. From an
early period in OUT history TO the present time, il
has commended, that from the nature Of the COM
pact which unites the American States, the &C.
neral Government created as an agent and en-
trusted with prescribed powers must confine IL
self strictly within the commission conferred by
those who called it into existence In eve
ry attempt 10 carry out this principle in the
practical operations Of The Government, it has
met with formidable opposition A consde-
rable portion of the people acting al different
times, usder different party names, have con-
tended for such construction Of the Con-
.,ituiion, as would empower the Federal Co
| vernmeut 10 sit in judgment on the Constitu-
ton itself, 10 destroy its guarantees by implication
and perpetuate injustice by giving binding force
TO precedents established by itself. This construc-
lion, predica,ed on The supposilion that the peo-
pie OF the States of this confederacy were consol-
idaled, by the adoption Of our federative system,
into one tody polite, with government acting
as III. representative Of lis sovereignty is iraught

being permitted 10 say nothing upon this subject,
(en,eItainins, as we do, the kindest feelings Tor
Genera Pcyton.) but we think il our duty 10 give
the following extract of letter from Washing
ton, TO gentleman in this city, written two weeks
ago:
"During the extra sessions of the Senate, ne
mir Polk is under the necessity of making ma
nv nominations Among them, is that OF Post
Master at Richmond The strong recommends
lions in favor OF Gen. Peyton have been placed
before him. He declares his purpose in cases OF
removal from Office, TO exercise great moderation
and deiberalion-but that he cannot re-nominae
a political opponent who was himself put into
Office by the removal OF political friend, if he
can find political friend who will take The Of,
flee, and who is qualified and acceptable Tie
has, therefore, come TO conclusion not to reno

took no part in the matter We had nothing 10

Mr.. B, or Mr.. T. or any one else.
With the facts 10 which the Wing could no! have

remains to be seen whether they endcavored IN
good faith 70 effect it, or endeavored to place OBJ.
stacies in The way Of proceedings which they DID
not wish 10 take the responsibility OIL defeating,
The first move in this question was made by
the Senate. That body passed resolution de-
carinp, "That the annexation OF Texas 10 the
United States should be effected with no fur
lhcr delay than may lie necessary for the accom-
pishmeni of that object by The constituted aulho-
rites Of The two countries" Not 4 Wing men,
Der voted for ii. This resolution simply says, that
the sense of The Senate was in favor of immedi-
ale annexation BY the constituted authorities OF
the United States and Texas. No constitutional
question as 10 the mode Of proceeding is either
raised or decided And, consequently The Wing
party Of The Senate were committed, by their
votes on that occasion, against the measure, IN
dependent of constitutional scrupes. Vi tins
fact The Wig Address makes no mention. The
Wings in the lower House laid this resolution on
the liable. and none of them made any effort 10
call them up. Two-hirds of the session OF Con-
sresS had expired, and there was an asceraned
desire on the part OF the Wing members in our
Federal Legislature 10 defeat the measure II pos
sible. Three days afterwards, member OF the
Democratic party moved 10 take up The Senate
resolution, rhcn trerp Wing but three rofcd
against Ii. or this fact The Wing Address
makes no mention. Three days after this
unsuccessful attempt another motion was made
BY Democrat 10 lake up the resolution,

one of whom had received positive instIuc-
tions-of this fact the Wing address makes nc
mention. Notice was then given that similar
motions would be made daily until the end ofthe
session, unless the Senaie's resolution was acted
upon Then Wing member brought forward a
substitute 10 The resolution in these words:
Resclred, That the annexation of Texas to

A few DAYS since, The Richmond Wing said
thai Texas had had 'the effect of defeating Mr..
Clay, and overwhelming The Wing party" In
lis leading article of yesterday, it devoutly wish
es Texas was the ether side Of Cape Horn" Bu',
strange 10 say, in another article OF Yesterday s
Wing the Editor processes 10 rejoice at The as
sumed gain OF The Wigs of New York in their
town elections, and adopts the language OF the
n. Y. Tribune, a most rabid anli.Souihern jour
nal. The Wing says THE Texas iniqaity Ois-
ten, people Of Virginia y has done it, and it is 60
ing 10 produce vel more extraordinary results :
They who compassed that national disgrace, il
they live long enough, will live 10 repent il in
.ackcloth ard ashes" The Wing is risht-but
the extraordinary results, so far from enurins 10
the bencG, OF The anii-Texas party in Virginia,
will act with rcdoubled force against them; and
will, again, in the language Of the Wing, "over-
whelm The Wing party" that oppose measure
so heartily desired by "large majority OF the
people OF Virginia" The Wing may rest as
sured, that, SO long as Texas continues in The
Gulf of Mexico, and be no, removed, by some
magic influence, to '1he other side of Cape Horn,
il will be the fixed tulcrum whence 10 move the
great American nation. This prominent ques-
lion will work out lis own end, and will crush the
puny whislings who may resist its powerful mo-
mentum.
