away The generally accepted doctrine is that i'm
posts should be laid primarily with reference to
revenue, and incidentally so as not to foster one
department of industry at the expense of others,
but to make the benefits to all as nearly alike rs
possible. The doctrine of free trade and direct
taxation are correct in theory, and will ultimately
become the policy of our government. But the
time has not yet arrived, nor will II be reached for
many years to come, when these doctrines can be
put in practice. The paid labor of this country
cannot be reduced to q competition with the pau
per labor of Europe.
In view of this ultimate tendency we should
shape our legislation upon the subject of tariff
1t is better to view things they ore and their in
eyitable drift, and govern our course accordingly,
than to cling TO mere distractions and names Of
things, the substance Of which has been exploded
As our country grows in population and material
wealth our commerce will expand and our impor-
tations increase. Our duties should correspond ia
our necessary revenue, and should be reduced from
time to time with the least possible detrimen to all
the business interests of the country.

''In New York an old and honored Wing, Ham
ton Fish, has been displaced lin the U. s Senate.
by notorious Free soil demagogue, Preston King"
= Charleston .Nureury.
On the 9th of June, l9i7, this identical Preston
King, then leading and highly influential Demo-
cratic member of Congress from New York, rose in
the House of Representatives, and, opening man.
uscipt that he held in his hand, proceeded to de-
fine the position of the Democracy in the North in
respect to the Mexican war. The definition was as
follows:
"The Democracy of the non-slayehodng States
intend to vote men and money, to any needful ex-
tent for the vigorous and successful prosecution OF
the war with Mexico They are in favor of acquir-
ing territory tondemnify the United States for the
expenses of that war but il is with them a fired
Iprincipie settled purpose not to permit the ex-
istence of slavery in any territory that may be &C
quired.'
Mr.. Preston King did not, by putting forth this
manifesto, lose caste for single moment with the
Democratic party, The editor Of the Nashville
(Tenn.) Banner, who has looked into the matter
saws there were in fact but two three Democrat
ic Representatives from the free States who sgni-
fed the slightest dissent from the manifesto. The
banner justly adds
"Mr King, Mack Republican though he be, il
no biacker now than he was at the time which III
was In full communion and fellowship with thu
Democratic party. And every foot Of the territory
acquired from Mexico is now in the precise condi-
ton in which Mr.. King then declared IL to be the
fixed principle" the "setted purpose" Of thu
Northern Democracy to cause 1t TO continue-it II
free territory"
Just ten years ago Preston King was one of thu
representative men of the Democratic party, in tb'
northern states at least. He has recently been
elected United States Senator from New York by tn
Republican party. His principles so far rs the!
relate to the main question at issue before the coun
try, have undergone no change whatever. Tn
grounds upon which this miserable twaddle abou
'blaek repubfcanisn" are based show the shallow
artifce by which the present Democratic part.
seek to humbug the people Let us hear no NOR

ton of slavery is concerned, was once orthodo!

buRbIN0TON, NhhmONI'
To The friends of education in Vermont -
When il was announced that an Act estab-
fishing the "Vermout Board Of Education
had been enacted by the State Legislature, the
great body Of the people recognized in 1t ju-
dicious movement in the right direction and
an,icipatons we're Immediately entertained that
it might be productive of good, though these
authorizations we're based rather upon hope, than
expectation.
The general sentiment was, and is, that If a
cautious and gradual, but positive aud deter
mined, effort TO improve and develope the pres
ent system of public schools, asking only such
future legislation as should be evidently neces-
sary TO this development, were commenced
and persistently adhered to, it would deserve
and command success.
But the feeling was universal, that only such
notifications of our School Laws, would be
satisfactory, as a knowledge of The actual con-
diton of the schools, ascertained from the stat
istics collected under the provisions Of the law
should demonstrate 10 De indispensable; anC
such as should thereafter, be demanded of TIN
Legislature by the people themselves.

and "John E. Carpenter Two beautiful head
lamps for these locomotives have recently been
made at Rochester. Their immense reaectors are
plated with gold over silver and copper, and the
cases are handsomely painted and mounted with
brass On either side Of the cases are portraits Of
the gentlemen whose names the locomotives bear,
of the size of life, and 80 accurate that those who
know the originals will have to take second look
or they may be deceived by the counterfeits. While
the above gentlemen were connected with the Roch-
ester and Niagara Falls Railroad, they had sent to
them daguerreotype likenesses Of their fathers,
Isaac Burrows and DR.. L. W. Carpenter of Ber-
nardston. One night, an unknown artist at Roch-
ester got hold of the daguerreotypes, and before
morning painted them as large as life on the head
lamp of the locomotive which was to take out the
morning train. In the morning the engineer
Frank Burrows, another son of Isaac's, came Out
to start his machine, and on passing the head Of il

upon going around to the other side, his father
was seen looking down at him with a stern visage

but painted likenesses of the above gentlemen
The likeness Of DIR. Carpenter has been brought
home since his death and framed by the family. Il
is deemed by them very correct one.-B.

FEMALE SHARP PRAcTIcE.-Some years ago
a young gentleman living in Crawford County

by food of tears and furnace signs" Three
weeks passed by, and she had worked her way
deep into the affections Of the family. She
was regarded as a daugher-as a sister. The
hour came for her departure-lhey had ex-

the blubbering was at its very height, when
she called the old gentleman TO one side, and
with great embarrassment told him that she had

Editorial Sketches.---No. l.

The editorial fraternity Of our State differ mate
rally in their qualifications, and the causes which
brethren in the larger cities of our country. While
most of the latter actuated by the same inau-
ences and ambition, the former differ as much in
the motives which prompted them and in their as
pirings as in their character. "Shakspeare's aph-
orsm, that 'some men are born great; some achieve
greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon
them is sufficiently illustrative Of the cause Of
most of them being found in the profession
Mr.. Bluff is one of those who chad greatness
thrust upon them He became an editor through
mere force of circumstances lie did not enter the
profession because he had any taste for it, be-
cause he had been educated for it, neither for the
visionary idea that he could act in that capacity
lever-like to lift the masses to higher standard
of intelligence and morality 1t is not to be sup
posed therefore, that he is particularly DESTROYS of
excelling in his vocation. He possesses ambition,
in common with all other men, and would not, per-
haps, object to notorety. In fact, he has gained
a most unenviable notoriety but Mr. Bluff has q
lie opinion, and does not regard it further than it
Injuries his business
Mr.. Bluff considers himself, shrewd political
manager. He delights in intrigue, and sometimes
succeeds; but he has yet to learn that advantages
gained in an underhanded manner are but tempo
rary. Mr.. Bluff would not object to an Office. In
deed, report says he is most anxious for one, and
that he does
"Most manfully bescge his patrons gate
! Aud Of reIulsed, as on attack the great,
| With painful art and application warm,
To take ut last, some little place by Storm"
Mr.. Bluff, like other editors, is occasionally en-.
gagged in controversies with his neighbors. The
discussions are not, usually, of a very elevated
character. He seldom expresses an opinion upon
the literary topics of the day, and his notices o.
new works are easily obtained from other papers
But his neighbors are apt to NEEDLE with his repu,
tation in such manner as to sting his solemn soul
and in revenge he administers what he intends fol
caustic rebuke. In his style he varies from tn,
facetious to the severe. lie is not very choice il
his use of language, and mistakes bluntness fo
wit. He forgets that,
AS in smooth oil the best is whet,
30 wit Is by poiteness sharpest SET"
\ lie delights in epthets, but his vocabulary Il
! that line is not very extended, and the terms
"skunk," "polecat," &C., furnish the burthen Q
his comparisons, which renders them somewha
} odorous.
Personally, Mr. Bluff Is not calculated to gal
many friends. His manners are somewhat repul
siye, and he Is not remarkable for refinement. Iii

not intrude his opinions when they are uncalle

DAILY VIRGINIAN.


There's mossy shady valley,
And the waters wind and iiow,
And the dsises sleep In winter,
Meath a coverlid Of snow
And violets, blue-eyed vioiets,
Blooli 10 beauty in the spring.
Ana the sunbeams kiss the wavelots,
Until they seem to laugh aud sing.
Bot in autumn, when the sunlight,
Crowns the cedar-covered hill,
Shadows darken in the valley
Shadows ominous and still;
And the yellow leaves like banners,
ofan Films host that's fed,
Ting'd with gold and royal purple,
Flu,ter sadly over head.
As those shadows, gloomy shadows.
Like dim phantoms on the ground.
Stretched their dreamy length forever,
On daisy covered mound;
And loved her, yes loved her,
But the angels loved her too,
So. she's sleeping In the valley,
Meath the sky so bright and blue.
And no slab ofpalid marble,
Rears its white and CHASTITY head,
Telling wanderers in the valley,
OF the virtues Of the dead.
But lily Is her tombstone,
And dew-drop, pure and bright
Is the eptaph an angel wrote,
In the stiffness of the night.
And I'm monrnful, very mournfnl,
For my sonl doth ever crave,
For the falling of the shadows,
From that little woodland grave,
For the memory Of the loved one
From my soul will never part
And those shadows in the valley,
Dim the sunshine of my heart,
