Hon. G. J. FAULKNER gentle
man, who for the last six years has been
one Of the most efficient members of Con-
gress. is now actively engaged in a can
vass for reelection from the 9th district,
he having been unanimously nominated
by the Democratic Convention. He has
published an address TO the voters Of his
district, Of which we have been sent CO.
Ply that we have perused with much plea
sure. 1t is an able vindication of the pol.
icy Of the Democratic party in regard to
the public lands, and shows up the spe.
cious position Of the croakers in its true
light. Although envy and jealousy have
arrayed even some few Democrats against
Mr.. Faulkner, we have no doubt of his
triumphant return to the seat he has filled
for the last six years with SO much credit
to himself and constituents.
We shall favor our readers with some
extracts from his address.

-! EButwhatEdo these selfsconstituted guar
dians audEoyerseers of.'poor old Virgin
ia'' propose. to relieve her of her present
embarrassment? One would naturally
suppose from the amount ofsympathy and
solicitude expressed, that they would
plunge their hands deep down into their
pockets and contribdte to her relief; but
such is not thescase. They have cheated
.he State into heavy expenses, and now
want to cheat the Federal government
out Of money enough TO pay, them; and
the plan proposed, instead of affording
any relief, takes twoI.dollars ont of our
pockets to'put one in The questionable
shape in which this proposed relief is pre-
sented, leaves room for doubts whether
they desire to aid Virginia, or only want
an electioneering humbug. Ifthey real
ly wanted to furnish some assistance TO
the old Dominion IN completing her inter-
nal improvements. why did they not pros
pose 10 reduce or abolish the duty on
railroad iron. or something similar, while
the tariff was being revised last winter ?
This would have been one of the many
Legitimate ways that she might have been
directly and materially aided. 1t will re-
quire some 100000 to purchase the
rails for the contemplated railroad i'm
provements Of Virginia. The duty upon
the iron is "a per cent. or about one
fourth of wat it will cost. If this duty
had been abolished, it would have saved
the State 2,5Oo,oo dollars, which is
great deal more than could ever he real
lied out of & Yirginia's share" of the
public domain.
1t only requires one moments refec-
ton. by any man of ordinary common
sense. to dispel all the nicely woven de-
lusions Of the croakers.

A GENTLE REPROoF.


One day, as Zachariah Hodgson was
going 10 his daily vocation after break
fast, he purchased a fine large Goldfish,
and sent it home, with directions to his
wife 10 have il cooked for dinner. AS no
particular mode of cooking it was pre-.
scribed, the good woman well knew that
whether she boiled il or made it into a
ehowder, her husband would scold her
when he came home. But she resolved
10 please him once, if possible, and there
fore cooked portions of it in several dif.
ferent ways. She also, with some little
difficulty, procured an amphibious ami
NAL froIn the brook back of The house,
and pumped it into the pot. In due time
her husband came home-saw some COW
ered dishes placed on the table, and with
afrowning faliering look, the moody man
commenced the conversation.
"Well. wife. did you ge, the fish !

.Yes, my dear"
81 should like to know how you have
cooked it. | will bet any thing you have
spoiled it for my eating (taking off the

"Why, my dear, thought you loved
il best fried"
'You didn't think any such a thing;

hsh; why didn't you boil it,"
,,Ny dear, the last time we had fresh
fish. you know | boiled il and you said
you liked it best fried. But | have boil
ed some also"
So saying, she lifted a cover. and 10
the shoulders ola cod, nicely boiled, were
neatly deposited in a dist-a sight Of

Zachariah could not stand this. His
surly mood was finally overcome, and he
burst into a hearty laugh. He acknowl-
edged that his wife was right, and he was
wrong, and declared that she should new
