A Distinction.

There is difference In supporting mes
and in supporting measures. An editor
may advocate the claims Of men for
the measures they represent, while
he may dislike the men. There is
difference between policy and principle.
Men may coincide in their endorsation Of
principle, and differ in their views of the
policy to carry out that principle. Hence.
1t is not the duty, nor can il reasonably
be expected. Of the conductor of a public
journal, to support every whimsical move
,nsnt of public men, not involving the
great principles upon which the policy of
the party is based. As for us, we are no
mah's worshippeIs. We will stand BY
Democrats in their defence Of the princi-
Piles of the party. as long as We have
power to encourage and defend them
Bat in matters not pertaining Immediately
to the Advancement OF the interests and
objects of the party, we shall claim the
privilege Of thinking for ourselves, indie
peuden, Of party associations and party
trammes. We neither live, nor move,
nor have our being, in the smiles of any
man. or set Of men. We would Sllsh for
very shame, and hate ourselves, were we
to permit any considerations OF policy OF
interest, 10 suppress the honest convictions
Of our judgment, or interfere with the
free, open, independent and fearless ex-
nres.ion of our settled opinions. The
press WAS never designed to eIinge ind to
fawn to power or patronage. Its high
mission 10 eontravened, and its usefulness
neutralized, whenever il shrinks from a
firm graz ple with corruption, and an To-
flexible adherence to truth. None the
less is ito functions misdirected, when, TO
conc,Hste the favor of men in high places,
n .layish and subservient Adusry and
false adulation characterize its course
converting the idiosynerasiea Of men into
philosophical and logical arguments. We
would spurn TO ctoo kthe pregnant hinges
Of the knee that Thrift might fellow
fawnins. The people-the honest, up
right masses-will always sustain and en-
courage the press that u;teEs wholesome
sentiments unres,rained by fears, and IN
influenced by mercenary motives. There
IS an inherent virtue with the people,
which is eloquently and powerfully re-
spon.ive to independent onesty aud fear
le,s determination. To tina: tribunal the
conductor Of public journal can triumph
antly appeal. when, in the discharge OF
the Legitimate duties Of his position, the
.chemes of the corrupt are thwarted, or
the ,diosy ncrasles Of the er'atlc condemns
ed. We would prefer writing our real,
Genuine sentiments for fifty honest sub
scribers to read and approve, than to con-
zeal them in terms of sycophantic adula-
tion. for the admiration and approval OF TIVE
.ysboxsand. Such being our conviction, we
shall pessistently pursue the course which
has marked the past career Of this paper,
asking no favors ofthose who do not cheer
fully extend them. By this course, the
.,yiudica,or has doubled its subscription
list since we assumed the management Of
> its eduor,al columns. BY this courss we
must either sink OF swim.

REMARKABLE CAsE.-Samuel Henly, a
respectable farmer of Rockingham, under
the influence of mental delusion, has re-
fused to go, any thing up to Thursday
last, for .j!ffy- seren days. He had taken
no nourishment of any kind within that
time. except few draughts of water, and
it was then though, he could survive few
days longer. He believes i! is impossib Bile
for him to swallow any food. W. learn
these facts from the Register.

caotral and ManRssa Roada,

We are extremely sorry TO announce
. that the Central and Manassa Gap Rail-
road bills were defeated in the House on
4. Monday night, finally. The former by a
vote Of 81 ayes to 81 noes. The latter by
81 ayes to 81 noes. 1t required a eonsti-
.uuonaI majority Of n to pass these ap-
nropriations. The State will lose more
by this action Of its legislation than the
amounts asked for. The narrow aud con-
tracted policy OF some Of the members
cannot be too severely censured. Why
the Central and Manassa Reads should
have met such fAtes, and others cared for,
IS inexplicable TO us, upon any ground OF
sound policy or liberslity.
MELANCHOLY AcClDENT.--The Rich
mond Dispatch states that the Rev. Mr.
Bailey, formerly pastor of Valley Street
Methodist church, in Richmond, was
drowned last week, with his wife, ia

Of Virginia.
P.S. The above statement is contra
.a;cted in the Dispatch Of the 2lst Mr..
B,iley and his wife are both alive and in
COED health.

We dispute the assumption that the
emigration to this country Is the "oh-
securing of Europe" We dispute it from
two psints: First, the of-scourng Of Eu-
rope sre so perfectly debased in every
sense, that ii is utterly impossible for them
to make even seanty subsistence, and
hence are beggars, and therefore cannot
accumulate Sufficient means TO bring them
to This counuj. Second. The actual CHAR
aeer Of the nalufalzed population, az de-
veloped NOT only III ouI midst. but through
out the country, stamps the assertion with
unmitigated psrversion. Will the Specta-
tor deny these propositions?
But, says the Spectator, 1--WE are more
purely American, we are more purely
Professionals and nothing can be more UNI
natural than the a,tempt to ally US by par-
ty ties with the papist and the foreigner"
This sentence is intended to draw dis
tincton between the North and the South!
Nov we assert that, for the past Is
months, there has been no purify in the
Americanism OF the Know Nothing party
North or South, 1t is bastard Ameri-
canism. 1t is the Americanism Of the
John Adams kind-the Americanism that
hreathed the breath of lite into the Alien
and Sedltion Laws and which the Dem
ocratic party. under Jefferson, choked to
death in 1898. There is no purity-no
patriotism--no republicansm-no democ.
racy in such Americanism. 1t is all ty-
ranny, oppression and persecution. There
is no ''puIity" IN their professionalism, 1t
