THE STIR IN VIRGINIA.

There is mighty stir in the Old Dominion
The interest in the canvass daily increases.
Men Of all ranks and cailings--the children
even-are excited. We learn from our hume
rous Virginia exchanges that the canvass is
everywhere marked by great activity and al
most unparalleled zeal. We had feared that
the Democracy would rely so much on the
long established popularity Of their principles,
and would so heartily despise the old enemy
with its new disguise, as TO make no cxtraordi.
nary effort TO secure success. But our ex-
changes inform MS that the State candidates,
the Congressional candidates, the county can
didates, and the whole army of electors are
engaged actively in the canvass. They are 90.
ing day and night They speak at the court
houses, the musters, and the cross roads The
tagging zeal the Virginia politicians has been
stimulated and revived. The present canvass
resembles the old.fashioned times in Virginia.
The clamor and the hurra-the "fuss and the
feathers" as usual, are on the side of the OPP
position. They have ever made the most noise
in Virginia. But their victories have proved
to be mere vocal victories. Every step they
take leads them over Wing grave. The
whole State is but the graveyard Of Whiggery.
They hope TO cheat death now by new dis.
guises, and they whistle most lustly to conceal
their fears, as they walk through the great
graveyard of Whiggery.
We are much gratifed to see that the two
Virginia Senators, Messrs. Hunter and Mason,
are employing their energies and abilities in
behalf Of the Democratic party. They have
both spoken in Richmond and Petersburg.
Hereafter we will speak more fully of their
efforts. When two such men, distinguished
alike for high craftsmanship and purity of char
acter, embark in the canvass, the best results
may be anticipated.

WILLIAM PENN UPON FUGITIVE
SLAVES.

In their insane crusade against the South
and Slavery, the Abolitionists Of the North for
re. the well authenticated history of the North
crn Colonies. They forget, or do not choose
to remember, that their forefathers brought
over slaves to this. country, that they held
slaves, and that their extreme and rigorous pu-
ritanism did not suggest any religious scruple
or difficulty on the subject. In none Of the
mongrel codes Of New England, which were
compounds of religious bigotry, intolerance,
superstition, and legal penalties codes which
affected both to prescribe detailed systems Of
morals and politics slavery interdicted.
In none Of the justly ridiculed blue laws Of
Connecticut, whose minuteness was only equal
led by their canting hypocrisy, have we ever
seen any thing that interdicted African sla-

rock, forget that their ancestors trafficked in
slaves and held slaves. They wilfnlly blind
themselves to the fact that they sold their
slaves only when it became more profitable to
sell than to hold them. They do not choose
to remember that the profits reaped by those
sales, which, when speaking Of southern men,

invalidate the title Of their southern brethren
to the very specific property which they de-
rived from their own Puritan Fathers. By so
doing they not only degrade themselves and

the memories Of their fathers.
William Penn, the illustrious founder Of n
great State, who is as good authority in morals
as in politics. and whose memory il cherished

an admonition which they should not neglect.
They are violent in their opposition to the Fugi-

Hon. Henry A. Edmundson.

This very talented and accomplished gentle
man, addressed the people of Montgomery
county, at Christiansburg, on last Monday. 1t
has but seldom been our lot to listen to more
calm, fair and honorable discussion, of all the
political questions of the day, than we heard
from him on Monday There was nothing de-
mandatory, nor abusive of those differing from
him. Entertaining all the while decent re-
spect for the opinions Of others, he very con.
clusively showed the community that he was
an unfinching Democrat, one who could never
affiliate with secret political societies, in re-
publican country; one who could hold no
political notion or sentiment, that would or
should be kept from those whom we represent;
one whose political course in Congress, for the
past six years, was open for public inspection,
holding no intent, notions, sentiments, or views,
but what he would freely and fairly communi-
cate to every farmer in Virginia The people
Of Montgomery and Floyd, the old farmers, the
yeomanry of the country, will support Mr..
Edmundson heartily. They have no idea Of
being dictated to by the young men in the
towns and villages, who have nothing else to
do, but run about the streets and cry Huzza for
Sam haistiansburg Star.

A writer in the New York Quarterly, (says
the Richmond Dispatch,) who has recently
visited Mr.. Irving at his calm retreat, "Sunny
Side" found him in e@eellent health, and in
the full enjoyment Of an exuberant flow OF
spirits. Mr.. Irving, il is said contemplates an
additional volume or two of his fugitive miscel-
lanes, which will complete the elegant series
Of his collective works, issued by his American
publisher, Mr.. Putnam, Of New York. "Wol-
fert's Roost, and other Sketches" has just been
issued, and his "Life Of Washington which
will form three more volumes, will now speedily

conversation, spoke appreciatingy Of the amul-
titudc of clever authors Of the present day. in
stancing some Of the most prominent names !;
but, he added, with strong emphasis, Dickens
is UNNECESSARILY above his contemporaries, and
David Copperfeld is his master production,
The writer justly observes, as worthy of note,
that the reissue of the works Of this antbor of
two ages, as he may be fifty designated, so far
from suffering any diminution in fame, enjoy
an unprecedented popularity. Indeed, the

The Tendency Of Isms.

One ism begets another. When the plain
rules of political and moral economy are vio-
lated in respect to one question of public con-
Germ, the way is opened for an inundaton OF
heresies. Maine was formerly one of the
soundest Democratic and conservative States.
In an evil hour, three or four years since, her
legislature enacted liquor law, violative alike
of private rights and public policy; and this
law her courts have sustained. From that
hour to the present Generalization has been
spreading in Maine Her government soon
after fell into the Hands of Abotionists; her
Legislature nullifed the Constitution of the
United States and certain of her laws of Con-
gress agitators and fanatics were sent to the
National Legislature; and, although, poIiti-
cally, Maine speedily disgraccd herself This
was in the line Of liquor-lawism and aboli-
tionism.
Having departed thus far from the path OF
recttude, Maine was ripe for the preparation
of any other conceivable folly; and so, at the
last session Of her Legislature, she enacted as
follows:
No court created by the authority of this
State, however extended its jurisdiction, or by
whatever name designated, nor any functionary
pertaining to said court shall, hereafter hold
or exercise any jurisdiction in the administra-
ton Of the law Of Congress commonly known
as the naturalization law; nor shall said court
take cognizancc Of any application Of any
alien to be admitted to become citizen, to
make any record, or grant, or issue any certii-
cafe or other document or paper, whereby any
alien shall be naturalizcd or made citizen OF
the United States.n
The next that we shall probably hear Of
Maine, her Fusion and Know.nothing polit-
clans will be proposing to annex her to the
British dominions upon which she borders, for
the alleged reason that it is contrary to the
laws of God to hold felowShip with shareholders
and foreigners.

Jenny Lind I'm Holland.

ROTTERDAM, Monday, March 10, l855.-Ac-
cording TO common acceptation, Jenny Lind
really one feels restraint in calling her by
any other than that familiar name-has re
sumed professional life for time, in order to
raise thereby an endowmentfund.f for an hospi-
tai in Stockholm. With her arrival in Holland
came the sad news of those recently fearful in
undatons which, in the provinces of Guider
land and North Brabant, destroyed about three
thousand dwellings, and made thirteen thou
sand Of their inhabitants homeless. On hear
ing the sad particulars, Jenny Lind Immediately
offered to give series of concerts, the profits
Of which should be devoted to the patriotic
fund now being formed for the relief Of the
sufferers. ThSfirst has already taken place at
Amsterdam. As soon as Jenny Lind appeared
in the concert-room, the audience rose en- maSse,
knowing no bounds to its enthusiasm. When
she had finished her part, the orchestra struck
up the Swedish National Anthem, and six
children Of the most distinguished families Of
the city advanced toward Jenny Lind, to ask
her acceptance of garland a bouquet, and a
testimony Of thanks on the part of the audi
ence, written in the Swedish and Dutch Ian
guages. IL is proverbially difficult TO move n
Dutch audience in tears or smiles, but on this
occasion the audience was completely !" beside
