The County Canvasa,

Messrs. Imboden, Christian and McChesn ey ),
the American candidates for the Legislature, adj
dressed the people Of Churchvile and vicinity on
Saturday last. We understand that the audience
wasquite large, and hgly respectable. Not only did
the sturdy yeomaDry leave their plo.s and corn-
planting to attend but even their wives and daugh-
tiers graced the occasion by their presence and
their approving smiles. We believe the ladies
generally entertain the friendliest feelings for
Sam"
A word in regard to the County ticket The
gentlemen composing it have been nominated by
"Sam." and they are consequently entirely be-
yond the reach of defeat. But let us net be sa-
tisfied with eecting them merely. They are
good men and true, tried and trusted soldiers in
the great American cause, and it behooves the
party to give them great, big. rousing majority
such as no candidates for the Legislature have
ever obtained In Augusta County before The
thing can be done-let it be done. Let there be
no lukewarmness-no craw -fshng-no resting
upon oars. On the contrary. let every man who
belongs to or sympathizes with the American par.
ty buckle on his armor, and do battle vigorously
manfully, brsvely, as if the issue of the contest
depended upon his individual exertons. If we
go to work with this spirit Imboden. Christian
and McChesney will run alongside of Flournoy
Beals and Patton, on the day Of election, and b
elected by most triumphant majority.

.Truth In n Nutshell"

In his recent speech at this place, Mr. Early
of Albemarle, presented most powerful and un-
answerable argument against the propristy of ad
hitting foreigners to the rights and privileges of
citizenship upon the terms presented in the pres
ent naturalization laws, by propounding single
iuterrogatory. Are the people OF France, Italy
Ireland Germany or any other portion of the old
world capable of self gorernmeat Taking
France as fair average, MIR. Early soundly ar
gued that they are not. France has not only
proved it BY her history, but her people have re-
pealedly admitted it. If. then these foreigners
are not capable Of governing themselves at home,
how is it that they become So preemnently quail
flied to do that very difficult thing the moment
they set foot upon American soil where they have
no, only TO acquaiut themselves with the maehi-
merry Of the most complicated OF all governments,
but TO u,llearn all their preconceved anti-repub-
lean notions This simple view Of the matter
contains whole volume of argument IN behalf OF
the American policy. Unfit 10 govern themselves
there, they are unfit to govern themselves here,
much less to govern the native citizens OF the
country, as they actually do in many places now.
