plsirihntiOn DpmacYats,

For twenty years past the Democratic
party in every National Convention, Las
endorsed The following profession Of faith on
the subject Of Distribution:
"Rcsolyod, That the proceeds Of the pub
lie lands ought to be sacredly applied 10 the
national objects specified in tho Constitution,
and that we are opposed to any law for the
distribution of such proceeds among tic
States, as alike iroxpedioat in policy aud
refngnant to the Constitution"
Upon this platform the Democracy have
fought and triumphea time and again, and
every Democratic President that has beer
elected, has been pledged to this doctrine
Now, we ask with the Rockingham Register,
how can any Democrat that voted for Polk
Pierce or Buchanan SO stultify himself as tt
advocate thing which he has heretofore
repndiated, giving the lie to his former pro,
fessions' aud have the impuiencc to cal
himself democrat?

Relieving Taxation.

How II WORKS the manner
in which nistFibationists talk about the DO
nations q lands to Ohio, Indiana Illinois
and Wisconsin, it might he inferred that
those States were entirely relieved of taxa
ton But, what are the facts?
Ohio now pays a tax Of 10 cents in he
hundred dollars ,ae same as Virginia
Wisconsin the same, Indiana - cents in the
hundred dollars. These States have been
the recipients Of large quantities Of the pub
lie domain. But Illinois--bclapled Illinois
which had been peculiarly blessed with
these donations, pays 493 cents IN Che hun
dred dollars, Or about 10 cents in the 500
more than we do. Does Virginia want her
railroads finished, her poor children cduca-
ted, aud her present taxes paid On such
terms? Let them answer At the polls. This
cry for Distribution is not made for the pur-
pose Of relieving taxation, bat Cor the par-
pose Of making Improvements, &c., which
may increase taxation.

SameNess OF Know nottingham N0r:il
and S0FIsll,

The New York Tribune says, cone Of
the earliest hobbies of the Know nothinqs
was, to add to the ordinary qualifications of
voters, the ability to read and write, and
after working long and hard, they secured
the adoption of this plan in Connecticut It
YVES intended to cut of large number Of
naturalized citizens"
DIassachusetts-the home Of the infamous
lIIss-has also adopted the reading & writ
ing test for voters. These two Black Re
publican States, alone, of the confcdoracy,
have taken this method of carrying out
Sans" fayoritc policy of DISTINGUISHING
foreigners. They consider liberty 50 ab-
struse science that none can understand
it but by the study of books. They are
guilty of the foolish absurdity of installing
one of the many means of knowledge and
wisdom for knowledge and wisdom them
selves. They forget that our brave ances-
tors who could neither read nor write, but
who made their marks" so admirably, I'M
derstood liberty infinitely better than most
Of those modern pedants, who prato about
the prime necessity of literature.
But, are the people of this county, and
of this Congressional district, aware that
Sans candidate for Congress in opposition
to their fayorite, John Letcher, was, per-
haps, the earliest advocate of the reading
aud writing qualification of voters? As far
back as about the year 1877, Mr. John D.
lmboden, row selected as the know-notlting
candidate for Congress in this district, but
then writing over the signature Of s'Indo-
pendence,7 in one of the papers Of our
town, avowed his advocacy of an amendment
to the Constitution of Virginia, by which
all persons should be prohibited from voting
who could not read and write There is a
wonderful sameness in Sans complexion
North and South Had Ir. Imboden's
then notions of government prevailed, Yir-
ginia would now have stood beside Connec-
ticut and Massachusetts. refusing the high
est privilege of citizenship to all who, from
the drunkenness and poverty Of their birth
had been unable to acquire the arts Of read
ing and writing. But this is nothing
ism, and We suppose must all be considered
right, in Sans little kingdom of Old Au
gusta. The Spectator gives the order tt
vote the whole ticket, from Congressman
down VIII the nconlc say "Amen"2

PROPHECY OF NAY 1855.


Every reader VIII reeollect the exciting
struggle for the SpeaLership in the last
Congress. There Is no assurance that a
better state Of things will exist in the next
Congress. The Black Republicans still
have a small majority, which it is IN the
power of the Democracy to overcome, ifthey
are united. On tie success Of Mr.. Buch-
auan's administration, depends, in our o.
pinion, the stability Of our institutions the
Black Republicans are already organizing
for the campaign Of 1860, and judging from
the past their prospects Of success are not
hopeless. But it is within the power of the
patriotic portion of the people of the States
to avert the danger This can only be done
by strengthening the arms &c the present
Chief Executive and unfolding the admin
istration. The principles enunciated in the
Inaugural Address have met with general
approval from the Union-loying portion OF
the people, and the good effects of the re-
cent Democratic victory are beginning to
be felt in diminished majorities for the Alb
olitionists and in the success of the Demo-
cratic party i'll places where, last Fall, they
were signally defeated. All opposition,
therefore, to the Democratic candidates for
Congress is .tactfous, and tends but to weak
en- the Administration, if successful. We
press this point upon the consideration of
the Democrats and Old Line Wings, and
urge them BY every motive of patriotism to
unity of purpose and action. Let an un-
broken Democratic delegation to the next
Congress 90 up from the entire South and
all may YET be well. 'aGuitea, we stand

Tic Emigration 70 the vest

Perhaps at no time in the history Ct CIR
country has toe desire for going vest
been 80 great as at the present. 1t has be-
come on epidemic, and almost every man
who can readily get away either has gone
or is making preparations to 60. The west
ern railroads are often unable to carry all
who apply; notwithstanding extra cars, and
in some cases, extra trains have been run.
The rush 10 the West this spring has GER
tainly been extraordinary.
The Pittsburg Union says, that looking
at the high hopes and bright anticipations
that animate the vast throug Of omigrants,
many of whom have left comfortable houses
and cheerful tirosides here in the healthfOl
and well settled districts of Pennsylvania,
to become pioneers and adycnturers in wild
and distant regions one cannot help indulc-
ing occasionally in rather gloomy forebo-
dings. Some, doubtless large proportion
will succeed well, while the experience Of
the past forewarns us that many, very many,
will be doomed to sad and bitter disappoint-
ment. Of those now leaving us there may
be some, rudy in health and with album
dant means, whom bad usage, care, toll and
sickness will disheartcn and break down
ere they can find the desired home in The
Vest and who will in year or so hence
come Struggling back, like many others
who under similar circumstances had gone
before the Aeleir families perhaps lessened
by death themselves dispirited and broken
in hope and fortune, to commence anew in
the places whore they were once among the
most prosperous and Independent.

Democrats Of Augusta, next Thursday is

cess of the principles Of your party. They
do not occupy their present position as a
matter of choice, but have been forced into
it by our own action. What, them is the
duty Of the Democracy TO this question
there can be but one responsc-and that is
to give them cordial and hearty support
to rouse the party to action and see that its
whole strength is pollod on the day of cleo
ton. This is duty you owe to them and
to yourselves, and one which you will take
pleasure in discharging The Democratic
party now numbers 1900 or 1900 voters in
this Federal County Of Augusta. with a
prospect Of a large addition to their ranks
if prciuel5ce could be laid aside The dis
banding Of the cid Wing party has released
the members of that party from all obliga-
tons to it as party, while the tyranny Of

many from its support--the Democratic
party is now the only National party, and
upon it the hopes of the Union depend.
