Three Centers,

The obtuseness of genuine Know Moth
ings is wonderful. They keep harping up
on the immense advantages which would
accrue to the people of Virginia, if they
would but receive the forty thousand dollars
which Congress placed at their disposed
They seem to think that forty thousand dol
lars would pay all the taxes; build all the
railroads and establish complete and com
prehensive school system for the education
of all young Virginia free, gratis and for
nothing" But make calculation hy the
rules Of better administrative it among
the citizens Of Virginia and each one will
get three centsi We call upon Democrats
to remember how the League" proposed
to ''swerve" voters from their faith. Look
at this thing in the right light and see if it
is not intended to use this hobby for the pur-
pose of 'swerving" you. Can you not see
the design? Do you hot recognize the trap
Then don't put your foot in it." Don't
let yourself be 'swerved" by THREE CENTS |.
Don't barter away your party and its prin-
ciples for so paltry 4 price Let not the

the rich property holder would feel it. II
would sensibly reduce his taxes. because he
would receive larger proportion Of the bene-

secret spring of the move? The opposition
have ever claimed all the talent, respccta-

The bred Sceit Case,

In anticipation of the defnitive decision
Of the Supreme Court of the United States
IN the bred Scott case, some two months OF
more ago, its adjudication was aDnouneel
through respectable proportion of the press,
emanaiing, we do not now recollcet precise
ly whence or how; bat, as the sequel shows,
not from mere conjecture, or without rela-
BILE data, for it was then stated that seven
of the nine judges constituting the court,
agreed in the opinion that the Missouri Conn
promise was unconstitutional, and conse-
quently, that the rights originating in it
and under IT, were even Fictitious and IN
effective. And it will be seen by the au
thentic annunciation of the grave aud deli
berate decision OF that august body, in ano-
ther column, that what Was rumor then is
reality now. Thus has politco- legal ques-
ton. involving others of deep import, been
decided alphabetically in favor of the adyo-
Gates aud supporters of the Constitution and
the Union, the equality of the States and
the rights Of the South. in contradistinction
to and in Reputation Of the diabolieal doc
trines inculeated by tactionsts and fanatics;
and that too by tribunal of jurists, as
learned, impartial and unparalleled as per-
haps the world has ever seen. a prize, for
which the athletae of the nation have often
wrestled in the halls of Congress, has been
awarded at last by the proper umpire, to
those who have justly won it. The nution
has achieved triumph, secftoaalisns has
been rebuked, and abolitionism has been
staggered and stunned Another support
ing pillar has been added to our institutions;
the assailants Of the South and enemies of
the Union have been driven from their point
dapputj patriotic principle has been pro-
nounced; great national, conservative.
union-saving sentiment has been proclaim
ed. An adjudication of the constitutionality
of the Missouri Compromise, in the bred
Scott case, inseparably embraced collateral
questions of such character, as also to in.
volve incidental issues, not unfrequentlv
arising in the councils of the country, and
which have ever proved, points of irrecon-
cilable antagonism between the friends and
enemies of the institutions of the South all
of which, it will be seen, have been une-
quivocnlly established in accordance with
the sense of the Southern people. And thus
it is, that reason and right, justice and truth,
always triumph over passion and prejudice,
Ignorance and envy, when submitted to the
deliberations OF honest ana able men; that
the dross and the genuine metal are sepa-
rated when the ore is accurately assayed.-

DR.. Editor As it is now the order of
the day to suggest suitable persons as can
didates for the Legislature, we will be par
doned in mentioning the name of a gentle
man to whom all who know him will accord
great popularity earned BY personal merit
We refer to Capt CLINTON e. MILLER. a
gentleman well known to the people of the
South River and the county generally
Capt. NJ. has long been prominent and ac-
tive citizen, filing every public trust to
which he has been called with ability and to
the entire satisfaction of the public. In poll
tics he has ever been courteous but consis-
tent Democrat His acquaintance with pub
lie men from various parts Of the State, and
the affairs Of the Commonwealth, highly fit
him for usefulness in the Legislature We
therefore take pleasure in recommending
him in eonnexion with the many good names
which you have already suggested as proper
persons to represent the county in the next
