SIR WALTER RALEIGH AND VIRGINIA.
The North British Review for May, in an
able article ON Sir "Walter Raleigh and his
Time," gives page of expressive eulogy to
the greatest of his achievements-the colo
nization of Virginia:
"But one thing we have q right TO say, that to
this man, under the Providence of Almighty
God, do the whole United States of America owe
their existence. The work was double. The col.
ony, however small, had to be kept in possession
at Ill hazards; and he did it. But that was not
enough Spain must be prevented from extending
her operations Northward from Florida; she must
be crippled along the whole East coast of America
And Raleigh did that too. We find him for years
to come part -adventurer In almost every attack
ON the Spsnards; we find him preaching war
against them on these very grounds, and setting
others to preach 1t also. Good old Hsriot Ora
leieh's mathematical teacher, whom he sent to Vr-
g;nis) re-echoes his pupils trumpet blast Hooker,
in his episte dedicstory of his Irish History strikes
the same note and right noble one 1t is. Those
Spaniards are trying to build up world.tyranpy
by rapine and cruelty You, sir, call on US to de-
liver the earth from them by doing justly and
loving mercy and we will obey your il the an
swer which Raleigh receives (as far as can tind)
from every nobler-natured Englishman."

TERRApIN CANDIDATES.

The Baltimore American publishes let
ter from Mr.. Peter Spraggins, near Terrapin
Greek, Maryland. declining . nomination of
two country papers for the Presidency. Mr..
Sprsggins takes leave to say that his name
was used without the slightest authority from
himself, written or oral, and he gives the
most emphatic notice to his friends that he
Is not candidate for any office whatever;
never was never will be. He says that he
is profitably engaged in the terrapin bust
ness, and that this is the height of bis ambi-
ton.
The captain of canal boat in New Eng
land, We forget his name, has also come out
in = long letter, expressing his views on the
various exciting questions of the day, and
conseniing to accept nomination for the
Presidency, if public opinion shall continue
to force it upon him. He is quite explicit
upon the Maine Liquor Law, being in favor
Of the largest liberty in the way of drink and
tobacco, and intending, when plated in the
White House, to set an example in that line
which win be worthy the imitation of the
whole country.
understand it is in contemplation among
the friends Of. Capt. Simon Suggs to address
letter to that illustrious statesman and sol
der, requesting him so permit his name to
be used rs q candidate for the next Presi'
denoy. We wonder that this was not thought
Of before. Suggs will sweep the country like
whirlwind. If any one is 80 ignorant %
not to know his history, they will find II re.
corded in letters Of gold among the "Emlnen'
Americans" whom Livingston of New YORK
has induced to sit fer their portraits. we
presume there can be no doubt that Suggs
would accept nomination. The well known
modesty of his character might cause some
hesitation, but his great and patriotic soul
would yield in the end to the public good.
In the days of Old Fogyism, it was Gus
tomary to name for high station none but
men of great talents, experience and integri-
ty. But this is an age of progress, and OF
levelling. A man who is born with superior
abilities ought to be content with the gifts OF
nature, and NOT seek the additional advantage
over his fellow.men of official station
Hence. nothing can be more just and equal
than the bringing down of these eagles from
their pride of place, and the bringing up of
terrapin candidates.

the late Massachusetts Legislature. Inc

hertz Bill. which was vetoed by Gov. Gard
nor. and passed over his head by the Legis-
,stnre. II refers to the Burns case, and says:
"The growing of the storm has never ceas'
ed since that pregnant cloud of last June
powered upon Massachusetts, and now inc eA'
plosion of the tempest seems to be very near
for the revolutionary deed is actually DONE"
"Gov. Gardiner and Judge Loring are really
very much to be pitied. They cannot obey
two contradictory laws of the Union and the
State; they have to make their choice be-
tween them" THE moment of collision has
arrived and is past" The News concludes
by earnestly invoking Massachusetts to per
servere in her good cause, talks affectiouate.

sion of the approaching disruption of the
Confederacy from the notification proceed
ings of Massachusetts,, and expresses the
same appreciation of the course of the Mas
sschusetts Legislature.
Massachusetts is playing directly into the
hands of these foreign governments, whose
policy dictates dissolution of the Union
and who have famed the flames of abolition
here, to bring about that very end. 1t is
possible that their Vaccinations may ere long
be crowned with success. Another Burns
case would bring the Federal Government
aud Massachusetts face to face, and the ex-
plosion, for which Great Britain has SO long
and assiduously prepared the slow match OF
abolition, would occur. Within sight OF
Bunker Hill, where the mother country re.
ceived from the audacious colonies her first
check in arms, she would reap her rich re-
venge, and the cradle Of American Liberty
would become its grave.
