made his first Republican speech. have not
seen full explanation of the new doctrine of
State Equality, as set forth at Cincinnati. The
United States have always claimed to have
State Equality. The truth is, the Democratic
party lat least, from the South mean to claim
the privilege of taking Slavery into free States,
as well as into Territories, and 80 get up a
phrase that shall take the place of "the squat
ter sovereignty" which has been so denounced
of late, and especially by the Richmond En-.
qnirer. They must have some popular phrase
to deceive the masses.
You remember the Richmond ENQUIRER, in
giving law to the Cincinnati Convention, said,
that asserting the doctrine of State Equality
would carry with it the consequences sohich Mey
desired. think that was ominous, and meant
what have alluded to.

from the bloody minded Powhatan, by the gen.
tie Pocahontas, with the subsequent history of
his connection with the Colony, are well por-
trayed. The author, preserving as the web of
his work the historic incidents, has sought to
to embroider there with his fancy these and
other events and persons that bore part in the
early days of the Old Dominion, believing that
the interest in the "unclothed facts" of the past
will be deepened by having thus given to them
"the aspect and hue of life." In his design
he has been quite successful, 80 far as to make
volume for popular reading. The episodes
of Virginian history are told with considerable
graphic power. He seems to have studied his
subjects in the best authorities which he could
find, and has exercised his skill in drawing
forth and presenting to the reader those psrtic-
ular portions best adapted for his scenic effects.
The conversations are made characteristic, and
usually natural. AS to Indian dialogues, or
those in which the red men of the forest shone,
we are less able to judge, but we think it prob
able there is more failure, since this requires a
personal and close study of Indian character to

thority relating to the period he seeks to illus
trate. The volume is neatly printed, and we

An Electoral Ticket in Virginia.

The following letter indicates a healthful and
most gratifying change of feeling and action in
the Old Dominion-a change which will soon
be- manifested in all the Southern States:
WHEELING, VA, Sept. %, 1856.
Mr.. J. G. Underwood:
The Virginia State Republican Convention
met in this city on the 18th instant, and formed
an electoral ticket, placing your name at the
head, as Senatorial elector. We had hoped to
have had your presence and consent in this
matter, and had written to you, inviting you to
meet with us; but not receiving any reply, we
have thought that you failed to get the letter.
AS it is, we trust that the use we have made of
your name may be agreeable to you. We are
well aware that any honor we might confer
upon you would be your dishonor in the eyes
of the ruling powers of our State; but you are
now safe from their Vaccinations, and be as
sured we placed your name where it is, in token
of our sympathy and respect, and as evidence
that there is party in Virginia that will not
forget you, but will remember you as one who
has suffered in our cause.-The cause of truth
and humanity.
Our papers threatened that no such Conven-
ton should be permitted to sit on Virginia soil.
A Vigilance Committee was raised, to put down
any attempt to hold meeting; yet we met, in
the most public manner in the centre of the
city, and adjourned without any molestation
whatever. Free speech has triumphed. Why
was it? The public sentiment was in favor of
equal rights and free speech. The Mayor ex-
tended his protection to US, and the Vigilance
Committee were most vigilant in taking care of
| their own dear persons. Hancock and Brook
counties above us, and Marshall below, together
with this county, will poll good vote.
| If it should suit your convenience, we would
like to receive visit from you, between this
and the election. Let US know the time when
you can come, and we will have good meeting
to receive you. We are in hopes that we will
have free paper in this city before long. 1t
would certainly be well sustained The neigh
boring States of Ohio and Pennsylvania would
give it living support, independent of Vir-
ginia. We have capitalists here who are will.
ing to contribute their means towards it. All
we want is good editor. We will send you a
paper containing the proceedings of our Con
vention. Respectfully yours,

Correspondence of tbe Gra.
Extract of a letter dated

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Sept. IA, 1856.
Fremont and Freedom is here the rallying
cry. The Republicans last Wednesday had
the largest political gathering ever known to
have assembled in this State. The enthusiasm
was immense. Throughout the day, banners
and flags were flying from hundreds of houses,
aud at night nearly the whole city was illumi-
mated. The people here we're not surprised at
the result in Maine. They expected it; for
when they see that their free institutions are
assailed, they know that there can be nothing
but defeat for the assailants
The Buchanan and Fillmore parties are so
weak, they are obliged to assist each other in
getting up meetings. "A fellow-feeling makes
them wondrous kind" 1t has been said that
the Fillmore party was not large enough to
nominate an electoral ticket-it requires but
four persons-but they have at last succeeded
in doing that, and that is about all they can do.
In 1852, Rhode Island gave majority of $500
for Franklin Pierce; she will now give ma
jority of five or six thousand for our Republi-
can standard. bearer.
