ALEXANDRIA,:
THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST S, 1855


But little while ago, MIR. Francis r.
Blair, was the oracle of the Democratic par
ty.-his word was the law in politics,-be was
tho organ Of the Democratic administration
and all were called upon to do him honor.
Against all this the Wings protested, but in
vain. Now, the Union, the present organ Of
the Democratic Administration declares, that
at was not the least OF the gifts of the Gene
raj, that, 10 the fullness Of bis power, be was
able to lift Mr.. Blair from low dupllelty'
and rank him as the associate Of ueh OF hon
or"-and that ono man except General Jack
son could have made Mr.. Z air; and no other
man of this generation could have survived
such an association" 1t winds up its furi-
Gus assault upon DIR. Blair, by declaring
that che has never failed to violate all faith
reposed 10 him-that is, If be has been en-
dowed with the capacity to feel an obliga
ton, as he certainly never has, with the dis
position to discharge one" We quote these
remarks, not to approve of their spirit or
their bitterness, but to show, that according
to the showing Of the Democracy, the Wings
were right in refusing their confidence to the
politician who is thus condemned.

small beginnings as yet, but increasing every
day, in many parts of the Union. The New

of the causes:-"The opinion is spreading
among our most observant business men
that the Fraser river gold discoveries are
destined to inaugurate a new term OF great
commercial activity and general prosperity.
The new gold excitement promises to oper-
ate as q moving of the stagnant waters, caus-

Being more than one-hslf Of her loss. Our
loss, as before shown, was 455, 900, and We
received from all outside sources but &c, 600.
Our readers will be careful to observe that
by this figuring we are not attempting to
show any decrease of population, but simply
to show that if those who were born on cur
soil had remained, or if their places bad been
flied from without, as 10 most of the North
rrn States, our population would be double
its present number; for to the number of the
$4,000 must be added their issue. Our fig
ures do not show our whole loss of nun bers,
for they do not include the thousands of ne
groes who have emigrated. We have no re-
liable data at hand upon which to base cal
culation of their number. We will leave our
readers 10 enquire the causes Of this exodus,
and merely say that we are happy to know
that of late years it has not been so great.
Oar loss cannot be estimated by numbers.
In the exodus of these Nirginians our State
has lost the advantage of their enterprise,
energy and industry, and Of their good moral
influence.

say to every Nirginian stay at home, but if
you must emigrate, let it be to some other
