THE COMPROMISE OF THE WEST.

The most ardent White Basis papers

The Lewisburg Chronicle the Parkerburo
Gazette, and the Kanawha Republican ex-
press their disapprobation in strong terms
The kanawha Republican says:
We are still of the opinion that when the
governmental majority" refused to submit
the question 10 the people, the white basis
members should have taken no further part
IN the deliberations of the Convention. 1t
is true In the compromise the suffrage basis
is recognized in tho arrangement of the
House of Delegates, but giving to the East
| a majority of ten in the Senate, though, as
We understand it, recognizing no principle,
IS yielding altogether too much to their I'M
just demands
The State of Virginia, the another Of de-
moeracy. presents to the republican world,
IN this age Ok progress, curious spectacle.

State, comprising hundred thousand ma

basis. together with the people of the West.

VIRGINIA AND mnn RESOURCES.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
has the following:
1t has been mentioned in this paper. If We
recollcct Alright, that the value of the real
and personal estate Of Virginia was officially
stated at $500, 100000 1t is composed Of
the following items Real estate, S27S ,000,-
600; value Of slaves $l47, 100000; Other
personal property. S105,000000 The pub
lie debt OF the State, as exhibited in the re-
port of the proper officers, on the 30tb Of
September last. was a trine over nine mil
lions of dollars. The State has also guaran-
tied bonds issued by corporations to COM
plete works ofimprovement already begun, to
the amount of nearly nine and half millions.
But, then, Virginia owns stock that arc now
worth, or will soon be, about twelve millions /;
so that the actual indebtedness of the State,
for which she has 20 provide the annual in
! teros,, only amounts to but little more than
six millions of dollars - mere bagatellc when
the immense agricultural and mineral wealth
Of Virginia is taken into consideration We
doubt whether there is another member Of
the confederacy as rich as Virginia in all the
elements that constitute the opulence OF a
State She has greater diversity Of soil and
climate than any other. She can raise more
corn of every kind, more tobacco, and as
much Of every other crop excepting cotton,
sugar and rice; then she has exhaastlcss
coal fields. salt without end, and as fine tim
Der as grows on tie face Of the earth For
many years the Eastern part ofthe State has
been rcirograding, or at least standing stu,
chiefly by reason of vicious system OF eui-
tivating the land, which has gradually mpov-
erished it until large portions below tide- wa
ter have become unproductive and almost
worthless. Recently. pew men have enga-
ced in agriculture; the mode OF cultivation
has been greatly improved; and powerful
;mnulse has been given to industrial pursuits
n every mart of the State. Various works
Of internal Improvement have been set on
foot and few years hence Virginia will re-
spme her ancient rank among the great mem
hers of the confederacy. She has always
been eminently conservative, and being look
ed to as the most prominent Of the Slave
States, she has welded very potent neral
inAuenccin the South. Regarding her as a
powerful link in the chain which holds the
Union together, BY means Of her position,
her ancient renown, and the high character
of her more gifted sons, We rejoice to see her
shaking off the lethargy by which he's ener-
gies have been paralyzed, and emulating the
example Of her more entcrprising sisters
