TIE WEEKLY DISPATCH,
PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,

AT Tie lou price Of ONE DOLLAR per amn,lm,
the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH K. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope TO merit and re-
ceve the encouragement of their felIow-citiz eis.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and as far their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it win continue to be
SO is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
knowi 1t to be impossible.

lished requires that the subscription be paid al

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers.

Owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each othrr in quick succession and OF which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals oGrea
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjonted, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the eabo
rate and ponderous reatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem 1t proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, nd the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained he views mode

three great parties in England--Tory, Wing and Ra

ScoTT's REsIaNATIoN.-The N. Z.
Herald, in announcing the nomination OF
Scott, has the following pertinent remarks
upon the subject generally. There is no
keener observer ofthe .signs Of the times, .
Than that paper:
."Of course, Gen. Scott will, like Gen.
TAYLOR under the same circumstances,
resign his commission in the army, which
will place Gen. John E. w ood at the head,
as Commander>in,Chief, he now being sec
ond in rank.
On reference to the dispatches from va.
rious quarters, it will be observed that q
great disparity Of feeling was manifested by
the announcement of Gen. SCOTS nomina-
ton. While in Auburn and Rome, iE this
State, every demonstration Of JOY was ap-
parent, the silver grays at Albany looked
gloomy, and the w ebster wings OF Concord,
New Hampshire, were sullen, and even
refused to honor the nominee of their party
with salute, although the democrats joco.
sely proposed to pay for the powder. This
is very different from the spontaneous out
burs, of enthusiasm on the reception OF
Gen. Pierce's nomination by the democrats. :

Pierce a True Man.

The Journal quotes the following from
the Constitution Of New Hampshire:
"Part 2, section Ia, is as follows:
Every member Of the House Of Represen.
.satives skalI be ehosen by ballot; and for
two years al least next preceding his elec.
ton shall have been an inhabitant Of this
State; shall be at the time of bis election an
inhab bitant Of the town, parish or place he
may be chosen TO represent; shall be of the
PROTESTANT. RELIGION and shall
cease to represent such town or place imme-
idately on bis ceasiDg to be qualified as
aforesaid.
Again, Part second, section 20:
Provided, nepertheless, that no person
shall be capable Of being elected q Senator,
who is not Of the PROTESTANT RELI-
GION.
Again, Part 2, section AZ:
And no person shall be eligible to this
Office. Governor unless at the time Of his
election be shall have been an inhabitant of
this State for seven years next preceding; !;
and unless he shall be Of the age Of thirty
years; and unless he shall be Of the PRO.
TESrANT RELIGION"
These were the anti-republican, native
American provisions that our candidate for
the Presidency, General PIERCE, voted and
spoke and laborsd to expunge from the Con-
stitution Of New Hampshire; and it il
these the leading whig, CaAMBERLAIs,i q
whig candidate for Governor Of that state,
spoke and labored to retain. Mark well,
thel efore, the difference. Bs not deceived.

A Whig Fizzle.

The wings hsreabouts have been trying
very hard, ever since the nomination Of
Scott and Graham, 10 get up little sntbu.
siasm for their nominations; but it is an
uphill business. They held meeting at
Collins Hall a week ago last Monday night,
for the purpose of forming Scott and Ora.
ham Club, at which scarcely dozen were
in attendance, and most of those were got
in by the hardest kind Of drumming. But
determined motto give it up SO, they ad.
journed over till last Saturday evening de-
termined in the mean time to make grand
effort to get out a crowd. Accordingly their
Club papers we're circulated for signeis, the
services Of distinguished speaker from a
broad were procured, and all the necessary
arrangements for a grand demonstration
were perfected. But with all their drum.
ming and coaxing, when the hour for the
meeting had arrived, the Hall presented bu'
a lean appearance, and sOid Hat" was IN.
der the necessity Of letting off his gas tc
empty benches. Such has been the result
Of their effort thus far to rekinjle the fires Of
1910.
