We drop our pen TO give place TO M, oil plh'
wiadic." from the Petersburg Rcpuplcan. we
do SO the more willingly, because we lake oeeP
;,,e,e. in the success OF the Democratic candi-
date for Congress, R. X. Meade, Esq; and, as
the election is ar at hand, desire 10 leave no
efforts unried 10 secure his success. The Wings
are moving heaven and earth 10 carry Inc us
tric,-but if our friends can be induced 10 re-
gard the importance OF the result, we have every
confidence of triumph BY several hundred ma
jorily. To show the desperation oil Inc wing
party. and The extravagant means TO which 'oey
resort. we have only TO point to the Pe!eisours
Iutellisencer which is filled with articles 10 prove
that MIR. Meade is not a Democrat, The DIS
cusson of principles The Wings have utterly 81
ven up, as desperate game. Their only nope
is 10 wheedle some OF The Democrats into a dis-
trust Of MIR. Meade's firm Democratic principles.
Upon this point we confidently appeal to every
Democrat in the District for his cordial support
of The nominee Of our party. MIR. Meade IS tho.
roughly with the Democratic party on each ana
every question. He is jealous supporter OF
Mr.. Folks administration on the war, The Iarib,
and every other Of the glorious measures unuef
which the country now enjoys universal pfospe-
rity. He is such a Democrat as we would most
cordially vote for, could We exercise the right OF
suffrage in the district. We call, then, upon
every Democrat in the Brunswick District 10
prepare for the contest, and give the Wings re-
yuar Bnena Vista defeat. Let them adopt the
thrilling order of that good Democrat, Jefferson
Davis, "Forward-guids censtrc-inarch," and all
will be we'll. The Wings profess to be confident
of success. Let the District Of Geo. G. Drom'
soole once more defeat their rampant ambition
We cannot let The occasion pass without COM
meudine 10 the attention OF our readers The i'm
portant facts stated BY IN" in connection with
the Tariff File shows very clearly that, under
sys,em of low duiirs the interests OF The agtlcul
tura class are always prosperous. The wings
are now tauniing The friends OF Free Irade WIN
the recent fall in The prices OF oreadsiuus.-
w hal may have produced SO sudden revuision,
we shall not attempt toexplain-but even as NAL
tiers noe stand, The prices are better Than unoer
high Tariffs, and we'll Iemunerae the labors OF The
farmers. What reason have The Wings Tor dwell
ing upon The blessings of "home, market unuer
a high TARIFF Under the present TaIih man.
ufaclurcs in every direction are in more -four
ishiug condition Than ever, and The "home mar
kel" is enlarged instead Of being contacted
But, in addition, we have the immense market OF
The world for our agricultural proaacts. Who
believes that il we had been confined TO The "hone
market" excluding the advantages OF the foreign
demand, the prices Of lie farmers products woult
moi be ruinously depressed? II is The foreign,
and not The "home market" which has regulated
prices, and afforded consumption for our over
flowing granarics. The effect OF The Democrat
ic Tariff and the corresponding repeal OF the Bri-
fish corn laws, has been TO relieve commerce CT
heavy restrictions, and to give an impetus 10
free interchange OF commodities. We have ne
yer denied that the famine in Europe has beneii.-
ed our farmers-bul We contend that The liberal |
commercial measures On bo;h sides o. the Allan |
tic nave removed bunhens and enabled us 10 take |
full advantage Of tie demand in Europe. Bu'
The proposition is TOO plain for argument. Low
duties have always proved advantageous 10 Ire |
farming nerest-and with The general prospeTi-
" of the country in full view, why should any |
Democrat nor hesitate 10 vote for a genuine Re-
publican, to sustain and permanently establish
the principles which Virginia has SO constantly
advocated
