Her official duties commenced with the organization of the asylum, They were discharged with exemplary fidelity. She brought to her work highly cultivated intellect and heart full of bensyolence.

why all her revolutions could not assert liberty for
her people, and lies PROSTATE under the feet OF
a usurper, without glory, without merit, without
character.
Blind to their interests, the nations abandoned
their real liberty, the municipal institutions for
nominal responsibility Of ministers, and for parla
mentary omnipotencs. Instead Of clinging to the
principle of selfgovernment - this breakwater
against the ensachments Of kings, of ministers, Of
parliaments--they abandoned the principle which
enforces the real responsibility Of ministers, and
raises the parliament to the glorious position Of the
peoples faithful servant; they exchanged the real
liberty Of selfgovernment against the fascinating
phantom ofparEamentary competence, making the
elect ofthe masters Of the people, which, if it is
really to be free, cannot have another masters Of peo
pie master but God. The old Anglo Saxon munich
pal freedom has, even in England, been weakened
by this tendency. Parliament has fought its battles
not only against the prerogative Of the crown, but
it has conquered the municipal freedom of the coun-
try, and Of the borough. Green Erin signs painfully
under this pressure, and English statesmen begin to
be alarmed. Hungary, my dear own fatherland,
was the only country in Europe which, amidst ali
adversaries, amidst all attacks Of foreign encroach
ment, and all inducements OF false new doctrines,
remained faithful to the great principle of self-go-
vernment Ut which the perjurious dynasty of
Austria has never ceased to aim q fatal blow. To
get rid of these insessant attacks, we availed our
selves Of the condition of Europe, in lS4S and had

me ga democracy ptctortOGS.
IL is understood that three of the gentlemen APP
pointed delegates to Baltimore by the Democratic
Convention for this district, are favorable to the
nomination of Mr.. Buchanan. The fourth, Mr..
Cox, of Chesterfield is supposed to be Douglas
man. The preference of the Democracy of this
State in respect to the next Presidency, is no
longer matter of doubt. Every district that ha,
been heard from has appointed majority of
Buchanan delegates. Douglas has been distanced
and Cass was nowhere in the race. He that
was the especial tavorite Of the Virginia deega-
ton to Baltimore in 1e48, and who received their
undivdedyote the first ballot, cannot now find a
friend to swear by. Not single Cass delegate, so
far as we can learn. has yet been appointed from
this State, and we presume that the Great Defeat
ed has nothing to hope for in the districts that re-
main to be heard from. Douglas has Jared but
little better than his unfortunate rival from Mich-
gan. He may have few partizans among the
delegation, but they will not be able to make a
struggle against the overwhelming majority ar
rayed in favor of Buchanan. This is most lame
and impotent conclusion of the ~ Dung America
insurrection That imprudent attempt of the
young Democracy to throw off the old Hunker
yoke in this State has proved most disastrous
failure. 1t has turned out to be rebellion, not Il
revolution, and like all such rash and premature
outbreaks has served only to demonstrate the real
weakness OF the insurgen party, and to strengthen
the chains which it was designed to break. The
Old Fogies of Virginia have shown that they are
not to pushed from their stools as easily Young
America thought The foundations of their pow
er are laid too broad and deep to be shaken by the
shallow and i'll contrived conspiracies of illibus-
tering faction. In their eagerness to clutch the
spois, SO long monopolised by the greybeards of
the party, the leaders of the young Democracy
overlooked the difficulties of the task they under
cook, and wofully miscalcultted the chances of
success. They INDUCED freely in clustering and
bravado, and even claimed to have achieved a vic
tory over their seniors in the late State Conyen-
ton. Theirs, however, has proved to be short
lived triumph, their noses have been brought to
the grind stone, and they may thank the clemen-
cy of their tyrants if they are not eafotted.
James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, is now the
first choice ofthe democratic party of Virginia for
the Presidency. This same Mr.. Buchanan was
bitter Federalist in 1912, Missouri Restriction
ist in 1819 and voted late 1912 for the odious
aud abominable Wing Tariff of that year.. Later
STILL in 1874, he advocated the election of Mr..
Polk upon the ground that the latter was better
Tariff man than Mr. Clay. But in all these things

soundness of his Democratic principles Of all
