DIVISION OF THE STATE

we regret to see the position assumed by some
OF our Western brethren that we must have q
Convention or a Division of the State. 1t is an
idle threat, and one which they will find i, i'm.
possible to accomplish. There are too many hal
lowed associations clustering around the name of
Virginia for any true son to be disposed willingly
to throw it of. But, the thing itself is imprac,i-
cable Divide Virginia! Where, then. shall we
begin9 Is the Blue Ridge to be the line No
we cannot believe that the Valley will consent, to
such an obvious sacrifice Of feeling and interest.
1t is linked to the East by too many natural and
social ties, and discovered from the Trans.Alle.
shany country by mountain barriers which mus,
forever preclude any thing like close sympathy
and community of interest between them Shall
either OF the intermediate mountains, then. this
side of the Alleghanes, constitute the division.
No-the same objections exist there, though only
perhaps IN less degree, which apply to the Val
ley. Then the Trans-Aleghany country alone is
left to form the new State. And how is it si,ua-
ted, as regards itself, to form an advantageous
and desirable commonwealth. Could any thing
like an intimate conneXon and sympathy be es-
tablished between its different parts! No-bro-
Ken up by Innuinerable mountains, with its out
lets OF trade all running west to the Ohio, it
could but be confederation of clans, each with
separate interests, and disassociaed in all else
bu. in name.
How idle is it, therefore, to talk of dividing
Virginia? AS at present situated, every interest,
however distinct, may be efficiently cared for and
promoted by right cultivation of bro,herly feel
ing between the different sections of the COM
monweallh; and whatever of injustice the West
may conceive she has suffered in the past, she
but wrongs herself in thinking of breaking con-
neXion which must SO essentially benefit her,
when Virginia is thoroughly aroused, as we trus,
she soon will be, to just appreciation of her
true interests and glory, in the proper develop
ment and Improvement of the entire wealth and
resources of the State
AT any rate, we have certainly better arpu
ments TO offer, in favor of our rights, upon the
Convention question.

VIRGINIA U. s. SENATOR,

The Washington correspondent Of the Charles.
ton Mercury, gives the particulars of an alleged
intrigue now in progress to operate upon the cleo
ton Of United States Senator from this State,
which we can but hope will prove TO be mistake.
The particulars are ,hese-ihat Mr.. Benton is to
aid in The election of the editor of the Union as
Public Printer, and that the editor of the Union
in return is to exert himself to promote the cleo
ton Of MIR. Benton's brother-in-law, Gov. Nc
Dowell, TO the Senate. But, in the event Gov. Nc
Dowel cannot be elected. then Gen. Dromgoole
is to be chosen, as the next best man for Col.
Benton. The Chivary are loa,h to see the pow
er Of the great Missouran increased in the Sem
ate, and hence no doubt arises the suspicion or
apprehension of foul play to defeat the election of
Mr.. Hunter, or some other man of their own, from
Virginia.

l delye in the mountains dark recess,
And build my fires in the wilderness;
The red rock crumbles beneath my blast,
While the tall trees tremble and stand aghast;
At the midnight hour my furnace glows,
And the liquid ore in a red stream flows
Tillthe mountains heart is melted down,
And scared by fire, is its sylvan crown.
Old Cyclops worked in his cavern dire,
To tip the arrows of Jove with fire;
But in my mountain crevice toll.
And make the rocks in my oauldron boil,
That man may hurl on his fercest foes,
The iron rain and the sabre blows;
And send on the long and quiverng wire
That silent thought, with wing Of fire.
/ burn the woods, and melt the hills,
While the liquid ore from the earth distils,
That over the railroad track may run,
The iron horse to outstrip the Sun;
That ponderous wheels may dash the brine,
And play with monsters of the Line;
While islands of coral seem to be,
But milestones placed in the deep blue sea.
When night comes on and the storm is out,
And the rain falls merrily about;
My mountain fires with ruddier glow,
Are seen to burn by the drones below;
And as my merry men pass around,
Their shadows seem on the bright background,
Each like Vulcan huge and dire,
Forging thunderbolt of fire.

And the warrior fall on his bloody sword;
The Iron horse may be stiff and chill,
And the wheels of thousand mills be still;
The steamer may sink on her ocean way,

Plain illustration of the Equality of
the " hig Tax Law.

A holds note of $4,000 against B, which
note was given in payment for land-now this
note by the law of last winter is not subject TO
taxation.
B holds note of $4,000 against A, which
was given in payment for lumber-and he is
compelled TO return this note as money at inter.
est, and pay heavy tax upon it.
Now where is the justice of taxing B upon
the note which he holds for lumber, while A Is
exempt from taxation upon the note which he
holds for land! Both are receiving interest
alike upon the amount of their notes, and every
principle of equality would require that they
should be taxed alike. This is one specimen of
the justice and equality of this law. Suppose
we try another
c holds a note for $4,000 against D, which
was given in payment for personal property.
D holds a note for $4,000 against c, which
was given for brick.
Now, while c pays no tax upon the note
which be holds, D is compelled to pay the full
tax upon his, although the profit which each de-
rives from his note is tie same,
Again: Suppose an indivinnal has capital of
$4,000. He invests it in Bank stock, and it is
exempt from taxation. Another has $4,000
with which he buys dry goods or groceries.--
While the former is taxed upon his profits, only,
the latter is compelled to pay tax upon both
capital and profit, if there be any. And yet the
former may realize a profit of twenty-five per
cent. upon his investments, while the latter re-
aIizes upon his, not more than len per cent?
These illustrations might be greatly extended,
but the above are sufficient to demonstrate the
injustice and iniquity of the existing law.
