VIRGINIA AMERICAN CoNvENr1oN.-Th
Virginia American Convention which
met on the 7th inst. appointed electors
for the Congressional and Senatorial dis
tricts and counties. Messrs. John NJ.
Bolts, Thomas S. Flournoy. A. H. H. Stu
art. and John S. Carlie were elected for
the State at large.
Resolutions were adopted ratifying the
nomination Of Mr.. Fillmore, endorsing him
as true to the Union and the Constitution,
knowing no North. no South, no East, no
West, but looking to the interests of the
whole country. Also, endorsing Mr..
Donelson as friend of the Union, patri-
otto and faithful to the Constitution.
The third resolution condemns the
squatter sovereignty doctrine of the Ne.
braska bill under which aliens vote in vio-
lation of the naturalization laws and the
ascendency of the anti. Slavery sentiments
as secured in every territory hereafter to
be formed. .- ... ....
The proscriptive spirit and harsh in
vective of the Democratic party towards
the American party are declared to be
unjusti6able aud unpatriotic. The last
resolution declares the Democratic party
responsible for the embarrassed condition
of the finances of Virginia.

has at last had his eyes opened to the SUI
perlative demagogueism of his American
party, In an article in his last paper, on
caacuses, he says: ali ......
One of the most important features in
the American party, was directed to a
change in this particular. by declaring
that the Office should seek the man, and
not the man seek the office. This featute,
however, has been aOholly disre9arded in
practice. Demagogueism has asseeted its
antient privileges among them. and their or.
ganization in councils, has offered facil>

neighbor. and we seppose was the result
of comparison between the two meet
ings held in this place on last Monday, to
select candidate for Clerk. At the
Democratic meeting, the people were in at

from one OF the most enterprising farmers
in our county,recommending.the form alton
of an Agricultural Society in this county.
The suggestion is a good one. and we
hope it will be improved upon. Harrison
county can make as creditable an exhibit
ton OF stock and agricultural products as
any county in the State. and there can be
no doubt that an annual comparison Of
products and modes Of cultivation, is high
ly beneficial to all concerned. Ours is
an agricultural community, and the more
that interest is developed. the more pros
porous we shall become. We invite our
wealthy and intelligent farmers-a score

selves, but everybody else.

like to stop at. There is not so many

Our CANDIDATE FOR CLERK.-1t will be
seen by the proceedings Of the Democrat
ic meeting held in this place on Monday
last. which are to be found in another
column. that Capt. G. w. Smith received
the nomination for Clerk OF the Circuit
Court. The contest between the friends
of Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Smith was spirited
one, and led to some little feeling towards
the close, but we believe that all parties
have become reconciled and will enter
tremendously into the canvass. Mr..
Smith was evidently the choice of the De-
mocratic party of the county, and will
command its united support. He is a
gentleman of many sterling qualities-oi
unqualified integrity-a thorough going
business man, and will make an excellent
clerk. His election by. large majority
may be considered as fixed fact.

RE- The Lewisburg Wal Cl

- Z
RE- The Lewisburg (Ya.) Chronicle,
an old-line Wing paper, aYows its own
purposes and advises those OF similar DO.
Iitics with itself, in the following article.
We commend it to the attention of all
who think more of their country than OF
n party We do not see how its position
can be resisted . ., ...t.... 81 ..
WuT WE SHALL SUPPORT THE DEMO-
CRATIC NoMIaEEs,-ln October last, we
pledged ourself to the support of the
nominees the Democratic party might
present for the Offices of President
and Vice President. We are southern
and Pro-slavery in our feelings, and ma
tional in earthquakes. We have exam
ined with some care the position Of the
Democratic party. of the country, and
have found it to be sounder upon the in
Stitutions Of the South. and more national
in it's purposes and aims, than any other
party likely to enter the field. Upon the
question Of slavery and the rights ~of
southern men. we have found the Demo-
cratic feeling in the North, as expressed
in their county and State conventions to
be unexceptionable. Not so with any
other party. Finding the Democratic
party of the north and south entertaining
national views and" acting in harmony
with strength in both sections, we regard
it as the only national party in existence,
and as the only hope of saving the coun-
try from the polluting hands OF the fanati-
cal Know Nothing party at the North.
That its nominees will be good men we
have no doubt. The national feeling that
prevades the party, as evinced in all its
state conventions, gives an earnest OF
what we may expect. Southern Wings
should not let their old party prejudices
blind them to these facts. Seeing them
as we do, we could not do otherwise than
support the Democratic nominees. With
spark of patriotism, We could not do
less. These are times when all party
prejudices should be cast aside, and our
country and our country's interest be the
