We recently had the pleasure OF meeting with
number Of Republicans from differen, sections
OF The country. We were gratifed 10 perceive,
that, without exception, they paid an unquallhea
tribute to the honesty, ability and manly courage,
with which Mr.. Polk had successfully admins
tered the Government. Though surrounded win
difficulties as great, if not greater, than ever met
President on the threshold of his AdmlnisIra-
tion he stood firmly BY his principles, and carried
out the great measures to which he and The Re-
publican party were pledged. Never before
were the Virginia doctrines OF SO more clearly
defined or more thoroughly carried out The line
is now broadly drawn between The latitudinarIan
and the strict construction of The Constitution
The issue is boldly and inelligby presented,
and it rests with the Democratic party 10 decide
whether they will retrogtade, or firmly establish
the conservative principles which they have ever
advocated. An important step has been attained
in giving full force and virtue 10 The Limitations
of The Federal Constitution. If The Democratic
party continue in their present harmonious and
healthy condition, the danger will soon be over
The public mind will settle down upon the true
and simple grounds on which the Government
ought to be administered, and The country will
move on in steady and sale course OF prosperi-
ty. With the bright prospects before US, is there
a Republican who would peril the success OF our
principles. By pressing the ambitious aspirations
OF any man, however distinguished and abe nc
NAV be2 The people will in time point TO
him who is 10 represent and carry out their
lavorile doctrines, and il becomes every true
Democrat 10 wait for that suspicious mo-
ment. II would be Notifying and fatal, in
occupy, swept from under US by our own
discussions in regard 10 men. There is not
man living, whose claims for office we would see
urged upon the popular mind, were it 10 Gndan-
ger the triumph OF our principles. The present
administration have done much to gain the cont-
deuce of the country and secure The fruits OF the
arduous struggle OF IS44-but il all may be lost
by our internal divisions as 10 the promotion OF
this or tina, favore Union among ourselves is
the more important, as we have reason 10 know,
that in some OF the counties OF Virginia, there are
many individuals who are Democrats in princi-
pie, but Wings only in name, from pride OF opln-
ion and party association. Lstth present measures
of the Democratic party be fairly tried and work
successfully, and we shall receive large Access
sion to our numbers. But, il We quarrel among
ourselves, we cannot expec, TO see fair trial
made OF the important works OF the last Congress;
our party will be dspifiled the hard-con-
quered results of the campaign sacrificed; and The
Wings will noun, into power, with all their wild
theories and mschievous hereses. With hamo-
ny and union We are invincible. Our strength
is daily increasing, and five continue TO actupon
The noble maxim of "Principles not men" our
future riumphs will be easy and sure.
