Next Springs Canvass.


The different parties are already mar
shalling their forces for the political con-
test next spring: Our Kuow-Nothing
exchanges are filled with calls for the
meeting Of their Councils, and last week
a meeting Of delegates from the different
Councils of this county, was held in this
place. The Democrats of Gilmer county
have made their nominations, and con-
ventions are called for the same purpose
in the counties of Lewis and Taylor: A
correspondent in to-days paper, recon-
mends that steps be taken at our Febru-
airy Court for the holding of a convention
in this county. We cordially second the
proposition and believe that it will meet
the appreciation of every good Democrat
in Harrison county.
In these times it is our duty to buckle
on our armor with renewed determination.
Our opponents, in their quictude, have
been studying out and planning another OF
those skilIful evolutions with which they
have SO often surprised and deceived the
people. What their next movement will
be, time alone must determine but we
! have seen enough of their precept and
practice to teach us that it will be moth
ing good for the country or the Demo
cratic party. Under their old organza-
| t;OD 40 WHOA or,J in +)o iDc;r,;o,,t .I,uoe
of Know Nothingism, We were met with
the craven cry of no-partyism, while they
were sharpening the dagger with which
to cut our throats. Too many of us list,
cneG to their voice, when in moment OF
imaginary strength and victory, they
boldly threw off their mask, and appeared
in their naked defOrmity as the most pro.
ScriEtiye party that ever existed. They
openly avowed from the stump and from
the press, that hencelorth and forever, NC
Democrat should be elected to uny Office
lChatcver This is the way our opponents
met the generosity Of the Democratic par
ty in dividing its best offices with them
the moment they supposed they had c
controlling power. With such preccdvnts
before us, what have We to expect in case
Of defeat? Nothing but determination
Therefore must we discard this old lula
by with which we have been so otter
sung to sleep, and make the necessary
preparations for maintaining the supre
macy Of our time honored principles which
have bourne on our country to its present
free and exalted position.
We shall revert TO this subject again,
and in the meantime, let our Democratic
friends bear the matter in mind, and pre-
pare TO take active energetic action.

Matthew groaned, but did hot utter a

FiIiibusters Fooled.

As one Of The Transit CompAny's stca-
mers, the Northern Light, was about to
sail from New York, on the day before
Christmas, the U. 5. Marshal of that city
received tclegraphic dispatch from the
President, directing him to dctain the yes
sci, on account Of Information he had re-
ceived Of that vessels having on board a
number of flibusterS, with arms and ac-
coutrements, for Nicaraugua. About a
o'clock the Northern Light get under
weigh, but she had not proceeded far be-
fore she WAS intercepted by revenue cut
ter, which fired two guns before the bows
Of the steamer, and brought her TO. Two
otEer cutters afterwards proceeded to as
sist in stopping the steamer. Between
three and four hundred young men were
found on board, whose appearance indica-
ted that they were Nicarauguan adven~
turers. One Of them confessed that they
were such and had been engaged by Par
kcr Fl. French and others. When the
Northern Light left her dock, she had on
board the three United States officers who
had been detailed to take her in charge.
Those who were found not to be actual
passengers were taken from the vessel,
which was partially searched, without
finding any arms or equipments of mills
tary character. She was then permitted
to proceed on her voyage, upon the COM
pany's agreeing to take out two officers
to surperlntend the unloading Of her cargo,
and bring back all cOntraband articles
that might be found on board of her.
The national administration is enti,lsd
to great credit for the promptness with
which it acted in regard to the matter.

INAUGURATION OF THE GOVERNOR AMI
LrEUTESANT GOVERNOR OF V1RG1NIA.-On
Tuesday the Hon. Henry A. Wise, the
Governor, and the Hon. Z. W. McComas,
Lieutenant Governor elect, Of Virginia
were indicted into Office at Richmond
without show or parade, as will be seen
by the following from the Enquirer Of yes,
terday:
Between the hours of II and IL
CLOCK, the Governor elect, Hon. Henry
~. Wise, Esq, repaired to the office OF
the Secretary of the Commonwealth,
where he took the various oaths of office,
prescribed by law, before Judge Mere
dith, of the Circuit Court of the city. lie
then, by letter, announced the facts to
the two Houses Of the General Assem-
bly,.
At 10 o'clock, the Lieutenant Govern
or elect. Elisha w. McComas, Esq, took
his Scat as presiding officer Of the Senate,
and called that body to order. After
prayer by the Rev. E. w. Woodbridge,
the Lieu cnant arose and delivered "a
chaste, eloquent, and patriotic inaugural.
highly appropriate to the occasion, and
exciting the hearty applause of the throng
Of spectators that had been attracted to
the Senate by the occasion. Between 12
and O'Clock. Governor Wise proceeded
To his mansion, where he was met by the
officers oftho first regiment OF Virginia
volunteers, under the command Of Col.
Thomas z. August. The Col, in few
neat remarks, introduced his associates
TO the Governor, who happily responded,
and rendered them cordial welcome to
the inequalities Of his hume. Many
members Of the Legislature and other
citizens were present, and embraced III
the invitation, and all went in and gave
evidence Of their hearty acceptance by
the earnest manner with which they par
took of the bouuteuus refreshments that
were spread before them. All counte-
nanccs seemed happy, and many were
the New Years aspirations which pro-
ceeded from lip to hand and from hand
to lip.
The whole scene was as simple and
uuauStcucious as the most Strai ght~laced
republican could desire, and yet it was
interesting and impressive in the extreme.

The opinion is expressed that the State

the passage of a free banking law based

financial embarrassments the Board has H.

They confidently believe that bet

the present unnatural and almost anoma-
Ious condition of monetary affairs, must

financial atmosphere again clear and
bright and promising. They believe that
capitalists will not much longer remain in
ignorance and doubt in reference to the
intrinsic value Of Virginia securities, the
safety and advantages of such an invest

WEST MILFORD, "a, Jan. 9TH, 1856.
Mr.. COOPER: DEAR Sir-Permit me
through the medium of your excellent
paper, to recommend Mr.. CHARLES HoL-
DEN to the favorable consideration of the
Democracy Of Harrison county. as sui
table person for the SherifaIty of said
county. Mr.. Holden is democrat of the
Jefersonian school, and has been true to
the best interest Of the party-never fail
ing to give it his most cordial support
| think Mr.. Holden would make good
Sheriff. His qualifications, think, are
good for said Office. The upper district
is entitled to the next Sheriff if we have
a suitable man. We think that we have,
and deem it nothing more than fair play,
that We should have said officer from our
end of the county, for the next two years
Mr.. Holden will abide by any fair mode of
nomination which the party may deem
proper TO adopt. Yours truly,
MANY DEMOCRATS.

Governor Johnson.

Yesterday Governor Johnson's official
term expired to-day, his successor will
be installed. The retiring Gov. will car
ry with him to his mountain home the best
wishes Of his many warm personal and DO
liticaI friends in Eastern Virginia. Gov.
Johnson's term Of service has been event
full and laborious, but he has never once
tagged in the discharge of his duty or
flinched from just esponsibility, no matter
in what garb it was presented. The oppo
sitton press may attempt to cast ridicule
and reproach upon his official acts, but
their efforts will only endear him to
his political friends, particularly when it
is seen that all their specifications are OF
the faimsiest and most contemplate charac-
ter. Abuse never sulles when unsustain-
ed by truth. The Governor will have the
proud consolation OF conscious rectitude Of
intention, and may look back upon his ca
reer with the confident assurance that no
interest of the Commonwealth has suffered
by any neglect or want of attention, and
that her rights, principles and honor have
been fully guarded and sustained.
His communications to the general as
sembly and his public acts reflect credit up
on his head and heart. They are worthy
of commentator. and will compare favor
ably with the. messages and acts of his
predecessors :? We sincerely wish him
every blessing in his retirement, and
hope his well,spent life may be happily
prolonged. -EnTu;Tcr Of Tuesday, lst inst. |
