There is no man who stands more consplcous
md meri,orious before the Democratic party oil
Virginia for United States Senator than VIM. RI.
Roane.. 1854.
Ever true and consistent in his political course
with talents broad and masculine with principles
firm and lofty, with all the cardinal and manly
virtues developed in his life, united with modesty
and simplicity and patriotism Of Roman caste,
his claims, his fitness for his high trust OF united
States Senator it is hoped, will not be overlooked
by the Virginia Legislature.
Mr.. Roane once was honored with TINS ols!in-
gushed post, and he filled it with honor TO him.

Thrusted out of office by Wing Legislature,
which had temporary sway IN Virginia, ne
should be restored to his honors BY Democratic
Legislature which is supposed at this time 10
WELD the power Of the State.
Mr.. Roane went at an early age into political
life, and whether we look at his services in the
Virginia Legislature, in the House OF Representa-
lives, or in the Senate Of The United States, We
see him characterized by those great Republican
ienes which illumined the political career of his
honoced father Judge Spencer Roane, and the
great patriarchs of the Republican School Thos.
Jefferson and James Madison, whose disciple he
has ever been.
Honor to those to whom honor is due, is mot
10 we'll united TO the case-it is one that will give
10 Mr. Roane the support of the Democrats OF the
Virginia Legislature to the high and honorable
station of United States Senator. ANXIOUS.

upon their country. The measure may be car.
ried in the Senate Of the u S. against the vote OF
the two Senators from Virginia. We may be In
debted for this great acquisition TO other States than
our own. And thus Virginia is arrayed against
measure which is precious TO her people, and IN
which she ought to have led the van, as she mas
always hitherto done, until in an evil hour she
fell into the hands OF temporary and accidental
majority Of the Wing party. But still, mol
only does this stigma rest upon our records, Dut
The further stain Of having surrendered her sove-
reign right 10 pronounce her opinions, as party
10 the Federal compact, and of prostrating her
people at the feet of her servants in Washington
Such is the disgraceful position in which The
Wings have placed themselves as well as the
State herself.
In conclusion, we may also respectfully assure
Mr. Lyons, that if in any thing We have said in
this paper, or in our last, we have placed the
Wings in disadvantageous contrast with him.
self, it is because We honestly think that ne de-
serves credit, and they deserve rebuke. Truth
requires this confession at our hands-but II was,
and is, far from our wish 10 crown him with
garlands, at their expense Heaven knows that
we have no expectation of arrayiDg him against
his Wing friends, however much we might de-
sire TO bring him into the Republican fold. But
we indulge no such extravagant hope. We have
no expectation of unwhiggine our friend Lyons.
We have not The vanity TO believe that we can
make proselyle OF him. He is too much
Wing in grain, and in principle, 10 be affected BY
any thing we can say. Yet on the question of
Texas be has done his duty-they have not done
theirs-and justice compels US TO draw this line al
leas. between him and his brother Wings. Hejus-
titles them oractng as party against their coun-
try, whilst We do mot believe ifMr Lyons had been
in the House, he would have sacrificed his coun-
try on the narrow shrine of party. The "Lone
Star" would have found in him not only pro-
Tossing, but an efficient friend-whilst his col
leagues would still have lodged the question, and
equivocated in their course.

Mr. Lyons admits 10 be so essential to
the interests of our country-to defeat the IN
trignes of the Abolitionists and 10 secure 10 the
United States the magnificent region OF Texas
the Wings should have acted as a party, against
a majority of the House itself, as we'll as de-
cided majority of the people? Are the Wings so
parly-mad, SO devoted to mere party purposes,
that they are willing TO sacrifice their country 10
the unity of their party2 What species of par
IT, then, are they? What would The world say,
il all the Wings in the Senate of the U. States
were 10 proceed upon the same principles-if. act
ing as party, Messrs Henderson, and Merrick,
and Foster and Johnson, should refuse to vote for
their country, and should determine 10 gowith their
party, because they had ascertained that "large
portion, or perhaps the larger portion" OF the
Wings Of the Senate were opposed 10 annexation?
Yet The principle is precisely the same-it only
varies in its application. Could such party de-
serve the support of an enlightened people2 Be-
cause the greater portion OF them were swayed by
a ridiculous letter of Mr.. Clay, written last
Spring, at Raleigh, and chose 10 make il parry
question during the campaign-are they still SC
lost TO all patriotic considerations, that, after
the contest has passed, and their natural afTec
tons should have been permitted to regulate
their conduct they must still persevere in theil
error, and labor to defeat a measure, which
as party, they condemned in 1874, and yet
as party, they declare, in 1885, TO be Sc
desirable TO their country; and still as {
party they refuse to adopt The only course which
is calculated to accomplish. As question 0
principle, then, the conduct of the Wings il
the House is altogether unjustifable- espe
cially on measure which ought never Il
have been made party question at all-for
it presents considerations of transcendant impor
lance, which soar infinitely beyond the little par
ty interests of the day. We contend, therefore
that in acting, as party, the Wings have shown
a subservience 10 its behes,s, which proves then
indifferent to The welfare of their country, ant
unworthy Of its confidence. And we contend
moreover, that in protesting, as politicians, tbe

Worms Kill Thousands.

CHILDREN are most subject to them, but per-
sons of all ages are liable to be afflicted with
| them Bad breath, paeness about the lips, flush
ed cheeks, picking at the nose, wasting away,
leanness, pain in the bowels. joints or limbs, dis
turbed sleep, frighiful dreams. moaning and some
times vofacious appetite, among the symp-
toms of worms. Many are doctored for months
for some other imaginary disease, when one box
of Shermans Worm LOZenges would effect cure.
Dr. Ryan, corner of Prince street and the Bowery,
cured man of worms that was reduced to skel-
eton, and by only one box of Sherman's Lozenges
he is now fat as an alderman. The Hon b.
b. Beardsey has saved the life Of one of his chill
dren by Them The sale of over 1000, 900 of boxes
has fully tested them. They are the only infalli-
Bile worm destroying medicine known. What
family will be without them1
Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Whooping Coughs,
Asthma, and all affections of the lungs, will find
healing value in Sherman's Cough Lozenges.-
They saved the Rev. Richard De Forrest, the
Rev. Mr. Streeter, Jonathan Howarth, ESQ, and
that worthy old hero, Leonard Rogers. from the
consumptive's grave. They cured in one day, the
Rev. Mr. Dunbar, the Rev. Mr. Handbook, VIM
IL. Attree, ESQ.,, Of distressing coughs They are
the pleasantest cough medicine and cure the SOON
est of any known remedy.
Headache, Sea-sickness and Palpitation, re-
lleved IN from FIVE to ten minutes by Sherman g
CamPhor Lozenges. Persons attending crowded
rooms or travelling will find them to impart buoy
ancy of spirits and renew their energies Those
suffering from too free living will find few of the
lozenges to dispel the horrors and lowness of
spirits. Mr.. krauth, of the Sunday Mercury, has
repeatedly cured himself of severe headache by
them. Captain Chadwick, of the packet ship
Wellington, has witnessed their efficacy in great
many cases of sea-sicsness. They operate like a
charm upon the aeitated or shattered nerves, as
Sherman's Poor Mans Plaster does upon rheu-
matism, lumbago, pain or weakness in the side,
back, breast, or any part of the body. NJ. H. G.
Daggers, 80 Ann street, Henry r. Goulding, 35
Chatham street, Moses j. Henriques, ESQ, and a
multitude of others have experienced the wonder
ful effects of these Plasters. Price only I2 l-2
cents. Caution is necessary to see that YOU get
the genuine Sherman's Lozenges and Plasters. as
there are many worthless articles attempted to be
Palmed off in place of them, by those who would
trfe with your life for shilling.

daiion) and of numerous others, perhaps equally
mertorious if less celebrated. who have promised
US their support, we fatter ourselves that, as lit
erary work, the Columbian need be under no ap-
prehension of being excelled.
But what we have done is already before the
public, who will rot fail to judge of us with i'm
Partaity; and in respect to what we intend to do,
II will be both wiser and more becoming (although
less fashionable not to boast) We may be per-
mitted to assure our friends in brief however that
We have matured numerous plans (for the Third
VOlume) with which we feel confident they will
be pleased. 1t is our purpose to put forth every
energy. and it will be no fault of our own if the
Columbian shall not be found at least equal to any
magazine, of any class or price, in America.
