The Virginia Politician.

Il is gratifying to be acquitted by the Union
Of the reprOach Of being a fiH Virginia
politician" for we believe that no character has
been brought into more universal disrepute.
We, therefore, for our more perfect and entire
acquittal, proceed to give the popular impress
sion Of that character as il has been sustained
by its founders, and more recently illustrated
by Messrs. MILLsoN, MEADE, Seldom, Mason.
sc. As the Virginia politician studies federal
astronomy through smoked glass, he can, of
course see nothing but the condition Of the
colored race. All his political action, there
fore, "hinges upon this feature" Let us ex-
anime how far he has been successful in carry
ing out his peculiar opinions, and protecting
thereby the rights Of the State to which he be
longs.
The Virginia politician" advocated the
election Of MARTIN VAN buren,, that slavery
might be perfectly safe under his protective
veto. He was willing to 60 to war for SO 4U,
and surrendered "the whole Of Oregon" 10 his
Free-soil opponents. He justified the mposi-
ton Of the Wilmot proviso by Mr.. Pork, be-
cause it was necessary" and required Gene
raj TAYLOR to veto in advance the same pro.
yiso where it was unnecessary" He advo-
Gated the annexation Of Texas 10 strengthen
the South, and denounces her Senators and
Representatives as sold to the Free sellers. lie
conquers Mexico with Southern men and South
ern money, though advised in advance that il
must enure to the power he was diplomatzing
to destroy. He denies the right Of Congress
to remove bar in James river, snag from
the Ohio, OF to protect the lives or property Of
Western men, with him the constitutionality
Of such an exercise Of power is tested by the
salometer. lie contends that the Federal Gov
eminent cannot. and that the State government
should not, construct a work Of internal inn
provement: the one is unconstitutional, and the
other, as it taxes one portion Of the State Ia
improve another, is unjust lie hears with
indifference that the iron interest of Nr-
ginia is almost extinct, and esteems it tri-
umph Of free trade that British iron-mas-
ters will receive more than half million OF
dollars Of Virginia money in payment for rail
road iron alone. He denounces the Northern
States because their population and wealth has
given them political power, and he proposes to

Virginia Convention,

The Committee on Public Printing reported,
that the contract was taken by Mr.. William
Culley and others, at the following prices: 80
cents per l000ms, 50 cents per token, and rule
and figure work at rs cents; to be printed on
paper equal to that used for printing for the
General Assembly, at 81 so per ream, medium
size'
The convention adopted resolution requir-
ing that certain statistical reports, made by the
Auditor to the ast session of the Legislature,
should be printed This appears to be the only
authentic material accessible, and will, we
should think, enable the convention to approx
mate the slave and free population, and the
relative taxation; it is defective in the valua-
tons of the lands, but this will be corrected by
the returns of assessment, which may be ex-
pected at an early period. There was motion
to adopt substitute for the first resolution of
the committee, povidng for the appointment
of a committee oftwenty -four, to be taken from
the four great divisions Of the State. The sub
Stitute proposes that the committee shall be APP
pointed in the usul parliamentary method with
out regard to districts. The discussion originated
in an objection th5t the influence in this com
mittee Of the East and West would be equal
lied, whereas, by he organization of the con-
vention, the East lad the preponderance. 1t
was contended by Western members that it
would be just TO allow the West to have the
majority of the Committee, because the West
had demanded the reforms for which the con-
vention had assembled; and because, as petit
toner, its grievances should be stated in its
own language. Several Eastern members,
however, expressed an Indifference TO the
method of appointment. The report Of the com
mittee would be no doubt fair representation
Of the wishes of the predominant party; but it
would be discussed and amended There were
many manifestations of hberality of sentiment
and courtesy of feeling, from which we infer
harmonious action wherever compromise is pos
sible, and personal courteEy where il is not.
The convention adjourned without a vote upon
the proposition to strike out the resolution OF
the committee.

strengthen Virginia by sending her population
and wealth to propagandize the coast of the Pa
cifc. Arrayed in the continental uniform, he
addresses the Bowey b'hoys in the words of
''the immortal author Of the Declaration" or of
"the bill of rights" or harangues the polyglot
suffragans of Milwaukee upon the ''hallowed
compromises of the Constitutions" the latter
responding at the polls, in unknown tongues,
" Down with the Fugitive Slave bill Z" He
proposes TO restore, by paper equilibrium"
the political preponderance of the South, and
relies upon the resolutions of seventeen hun
dred and ninety eight to meet the census Of
eighteen hundred and fifty.
Such is the character established for the
Virginia politician" We are gratifed 10
believe that Virginia will not much longer be
responsible for such abstract and ruinous doc
trlnes. With an able and practical body of
men assembled in convention, the cloud with
which metaphysicians have obscured the disc of
her fame will pass away. Her constitution
will be stripped of those odous and aristocrati-
cal features which have for years retarded her
progress. Wiser and more patriotic counsels
will prevail, domestic manufactures will be en-
couraged, rapid and cheap intercourse provided
for, foreign and domestic commerce established;
the education and employment Of her people
will be promoted, and the Union Of the States,
at once the shield and cradle Of those interests,
will be revered and cherished for ever Having
heretofore proven that we are an humble mem
Der of the latter school, we cheerfully disclaim
any conneXion wha tsoever with the 60 Virginia
politicians" as they are understood in this me
tropolis, and described in this article

Governor QUITMAN, Of Mississippi, recently
made most violent disunOn speech in Natchez,
in which, among other things, he assailed most
violently the late law Of Congress abolishing the
slave trade in the District Of Columbia.
In 1888 Mississippi altered her constitution. John
4. Quitman, the present Governor, was member
Of the convention and supported the adoption Of
tho following clause in that constitution, which
was adopted
"sEc. ,. The introduction Of slaves into this
State as merchandise, for salc shall be prOhib.
tied after the first Of May, 1873"
Nay, more; it is said no introduced this clause.
At any rate, it was adopted, and remained in that
constitution unaltered for fourteen yCars. Con-
sistency, thou art jewel, especially in the history

THE SOUTHERN sHoE TRADE.-Few persons have
any proper idea OF the extent of the shoe trade
ried on between the northern and southern States
merchant OF this city, largely IN the trade, esti-
mates the value Of shoes annually sent south from
New York alone at S5.OO,OOO. Allowing $40
as tho average value OF each case, the number of
cases sent during the year, at this estimate Is
hundred aud twenty hive thousand. Boston and
Philadelphia send, perhaps. as many more. The
trade was never more hourishing than il has been
during the current season.
The New York Journal Of Commerce, from which
the above s taken, adds that continuation Of tho
Abolition excitement may produce avery different
state of things.

The VINO PARTY.-The example of Maryland
ia lesson fraught with instruction. The adyo
cates Of Whig measures are too apt TO be negli-
gent. They rely very much upon the soundness of
their principles, and thus permit their confidence
to paralyze their efforts. This is bad policy,
from which the Wings, party, have suffered
much. The defeat OF Mr.. Clay, in the memorable
contest Of 1884, is mainly attributable to the great
confidence Of his friends in his strength and popu-
larty; confidence 80 strong an 10 make them
negligent when, under other circumstances, they
would have put forth their full effort in the endea
TO poll their entire vote. II is fact worthy Of
note, that the whole Wing vote is seldom polled,
unless in times Of very great excitement, created
by the fear Of defeat
We venture 70 cay, that If the entire Wing vote
Of this country was invariably pocd, the Federal
Government would be decidedly Wing in its char
acter. The energy Of the Wing partyis paralyzcd
by confidence, to greater degree, than those un-
accustomed 10 look at this subject have any idea
Of To this defect much OF our modification Of de-
feat ia attributable. We hope, that our Wing
friends will look well TO their interests in the APP
preaching canvass ofthis State, and commence be-
forehand TO be thoroughly prepared TO make a Wig
orous and bold defence Of their principles. There
is good reason why Virginia should be "scaled
and delivered to our foes" And such is only the
case because Virginia Whigs have failed TO come
out in their rength.-LynchbtTg puginian.
