THE VOTE OF VIRGINIA IN THE CINCIN-
NATI CONVENTION

From the fact that tho State Convention
failed to command the vote of Virginia to be cast as
unit at Cincinnati, some people may infer that the
party are Indifferent in the matter. We believe the
conclusion 10 be utterly without warrant. The De-
mocracy of Virginia adhere with tenacty to ancient
usags and il has always been the practice of our par
~ to give an undivided vote. Since Virginia has
been outslrpped by other States in mater al develop
ment, she has preserved her ancient Influence in the
confederacy by welding with unity Of aim and effect
The moment she splits up her vote she loses her
thnrity and abdcates her proud position
It's always safe to follow the lead Of the Demo
cracy Of the Tenth Legion; and they have pronounc.
ed nn emphatic protest against division in the vote
of Virginia Indubi;abIy this is the sentiment Of the
party throughout the State; but lest some person
might dispute disregard it, would it not be well for
the District Conventions to inpart to their wish the
authority of absolute instruction
At Cincinnati Virginia may play as interesting
aud imposing part as at Baltimore, if she will only
concentrate her energies and direct them to a certain
effect with perfect unity Of aim Virginia holds the
destinies Of the nation in her grasp. She can Sc
ect the next President unless she chooses to throw
away her power aud TO abdcate her position in the
confederacy. The Democratic masses are not indit
ferent tn the honor and influence of the State and
they should provide against its degradation by ra
ding politicians.

"MADISON STUART IN A PUZZLE.

IL Mr.. Alexander II. ii. Stuart were to find himself
cut and repused by the persons of whose acquaint.
ance he is most proud it, he strolled with lordly
step down the streets of Staunton he were to be re-.
fused morninga salutaon by gentleman after gem
tleman, would he not begin to inquire of his con-
science whether he was guilty of any disgraceful
piece Of conduct! 1t is not common for him who is
put in Coventry to affect contempt of the rest of man
kind.
Why cannot Mr.. Stuart apply this simple rule Of
society to the relations Of party In the most recent
oh that 'twere the last of his endless epsiles TO
the Americans, he recites the names of great many
eminent gentlemen, who have abandoned the Whig
and Joined the Democratic party. Indeed, he proves
quite conclusivey that the best and brightest orna-
ments of the Whig party now shine conspicuously in
the ranks Of the Democracy.
What is the inferencel What must the world think
Of party that is thus cut by its most respectable
members The world should and does think that
the party is altogether unworthy Of their confidence
and association. And their connexon with the De.
mocracy is no less compliment TO u.s. than their
cession was reproach upon the Wing party.
Mr.. Stuart is not mindful of what befcll the ass who
went hectorng in lions skin. He modesy assumes
the de plume of "Madson," but such logic he
employs, will disclose the nature of the animal, and
perhaps provoke pummelng:

TIE KNOW NOTHING PARTY.

The Know Nothing State Council Of Wisconsin
have nominated Speaker Banks for President.
The Milwaukee American, announcing this, gives
the public the following chapter in his history
We hail the unanimous passage Of that resolution,
following, as il does, the reputation OF the pseudo
nomination. illegally made Mt Philadelphia, as an omen
of success. Mr.. Banks has claims upon the Order
which few others offer The fret to raise his voice
in advocacy OF its principles, he iIas been fearless
aud consistent III their support. During the contest
for Speakership-unprecedcn in length in pnria-
mrnary hi-iory-hr wGs unrenittng i'll his efforts,
and Initiated into the Washington Council Of which
he ia President, ninety uf the socalled "Repub
licans' VINO were attempting 10 secure his election
Banks got "lO3" votes-ninety seven of which
wers given by men whom he, by his own hands had
initiated into the Order.
The American adds as lis opinion that the North
American Convention Of the 18th Of June, r: New
York, will make the nominations which will be con-
firmed by the Republican Convention, at Philadel'
phia, on the Eth. Ii concludes
Should this rot be the case, and should anything
prevent the nomination of suitable candidates in
whose political integrity the American party at the
North may rely the distinctive strength Of the latter
will no doubt, be given in favor of such candidates

THE PEACE.

We publish copious extracts from the English
and French press that the reader may under
stand with what sort of satisfaction the peace is
received in those countries The terms of the trea'
ty are still suppressed with the obvious design OF al
lowing public discomfort to escape gradually instead
of exploding in a single outburst Of indignation.
The Times with philosophc resignation under
adverse fortune, atters its pride with imaginary ex.
nlots, and disguises its shame in exutaon over fc
titious advantages Other journals are less insensi
BILE to ignominy, or are more candid IN cohies'ms
their chagrin. Despite however, their elaborate at
tempt to conceal their modification, it is obvious from
the tone of their press and the utter absence ct any
display of popular satisfaction that the British nation
are smartino under sense of defeat and dsgrace.-
They have neloriously failed to achieve the ends Tor
which they took up arms. But more than this' they
have betrayed in the progress OF the struggle such
palpable incapacty for aggressive war, ooth IN re-
spect of political foresight and military prowess, they
have been so humiated by the grander achievements
and glorious success of their hated allies, that their
a.sucient ssfconceit is wounded to the quick, and
vents its wrath in suppressed, but not inaudiole
cries. The glory Of Great Britain IS ecpsea forever
1t is but All empty compliment or singing sarcasm
to speak Of England as foremost power OF tne
world. 1t is at last dwarfed down to the dimensions
Of it. intrinsic resources and legitimate aspirations
In the beginning Of the war, reproaching Russia for
huge mposture, it fluids itself in the end with less
glory and power than Venice after the league
Of Canbray.
In significant contrast with the sullen humor of
the British people and the llsuppressed shame of the
British press, the French nation and journals utter
only the language Of sincere joy and exultation The
DeJats sings the triumph of the French arm. in
Piudaric strain and recouns the moral glorss of the
var with the enthusiasm of unaffected satisfaction
The Emperor surveys the results of his sagacious po
licy and military successes with the collected self
control of his impassve nsture but with an adequate
appreciation of his splendid achievements.
Even Russia has something more than the valor
Of its armies, whe,ewth to console itself iu the day
of final settlement The Gear adheres to the severe
ssnteucs Of history, when he oongratuates his sub
jects on the achievement Of substantial success III
the emancipation of the Christian people in turkey
Only England has no resource but the hatterng ~h's
pers Of its selfish pride.

ton: If any operative local law should exclude slave
