II will be observed, also, that the Mercury e.
presses the same opinion that was advanced BY
US two weeks ago--thst those Southern politicians
are merely DESTROYS Of strengthening themselves
in the North. witha view only to the advancement
Of their chances for the Presidency. Let the South
put its mark upon these men. Hero is what the
Mercury says:
II has been observed that tho most prominent
democratic aspirants for the ncxt Presidency and
Vice Presidency, advocate the reelection OF Doug
las TO the Senate. If 1t was not well known that
tho Northwest would exercise large influence in
the next campaign. and that Douglas has been
and perhaps is) its favorits above every other
political leader. these gentlemen would at least
DO entitled TO some praise for their extraordinary
in neglecting homo interests for
the sake Of supporting the martyr Of Illinois But
when these facts become apparent, the motives by
which they are governed lose much If the glow
Of generosity and magnanimity with which weare
wont to clotho the heroes Of politics and romance.
They seem very much as if they were
aging one word for Douglas and two for them
selves. Perhaps tho next National Democratic
Conyentio will b. found in opposition to tho
claims of Mr., Douglas and that he. as we'll as his
supporters, will DO thrown overheard together.

THs ELEcrIoS.-NEw YoRK-The Republican
majority on the state ticket is 1860. The official
returns will, doubtless. add to that number. The
vote for Gerrt Smith is reported from but a few
localities but they are those where he polls his
heaviest vote. His entire vote will probably
be between 5000 and 5000. For . more precise
statement Of the distribution Of votes We must
await the Official returns.

Ohio on the state ticket at the recent election is
20, 966-Fremonts was 1858.

The VIRGINIA GovERNoRsnrp.-
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore American, in his letter of
the 5tb, says: "
Mr.. Letcher has succeeded in obtain.
ing the nomination for Governor of
Virginia. True, he was the open adj
vocate not very long ago of free soil
sentiments quite as strong as those for
which certain extreme patriots in Mis-.
sissippi, and elsewhere, have frequent
ly threatened to dissolve the Union.
But Democracy assumes the virtue
ascribed to the mantle of charity and
covers amultitude of sins. Mr.. ietcb-
err has got absoluton from an orthodox
Convention, and of course there is no
higher authority than that. Let poll.
teal managers disguise it as they may,
this result is significant of the coming
evont which it measurably prefgures
the nomination of Mr.. Hunter at
Charleston in 1860. Governor Wise
is only the chafed leader of faction
now. He has no party but himself
and a corporaPs guard of nervous and
eccentric followers. His partisans will
strive to make a virtue of necessity by
out olamoring the friends Of Lotobor
i; ii s saS canvass, but that will deceive
nobody, n H hagi3l

Bss% The present No. of this paper
completes half year--or three years
and half of the AMERICAN UNION.
We have been trying to furnish our
readers with a good paper in general,
with as much political matter, of an
unobjectionable character, as we con-
sidered wholesome under the circum-
stances. That our course is generally
approved, is manifest from the fact
that very few of those who subscribed
tor the paper as q party organ have
withdrawn their names; and quite a
number of sensible Democrats, and
others who do their own thinking, have
become subscribers.
He1@ We propose pursuing the same
straightforward course hereafter and
we incline to the opinion, that while
political parties remain in the same
delectable tumble as at present, party
organs will be of little account. The
people want to know who men are that
aspire to public stations, and how far
they may be trusted. They also wish
to know what is doing, or likely to be
done, to arrest the fearful progress of
extravaganza in the administration of
the National Government, and to dim
Irish our onerous burden of State and
County taxes; and to be possessed of
reliable information on all subjects of
public concernment; and this is Just
what they have been receiving, and
will continue to receive through the
columns of this paper.
We should like to have it fully un-
derstood that our continued connection
with tho Press is a matter of necessity
rather than choice. We have labored
in this yocation-except q few short
intervals-since the year 1914 pc
Rod of more than forty years and we
are anxious to retire whenever it can
be done honorably. And if, during
the approaching GubernatoriaI or Pre-.
sidential campaign, a party paper shall
be deemed necessary here, We will sell
out most cheerfully, on accommodate
ing terms, and retire upon our lawe1s.
BY the way, there is fine opening,
just here, for an enterprising Editor
and Printer. With the exception of
Wheeling and Parkersburg, there is
not an Opposition paper in all N. w.
Virginia. Twill our brethren Of the
Press please notice this, as a special
favor Z? -er
'l We are truly thankful for favors, of
whatever kind, already receivea-and
shall use every honorable means to
merit and secure their continuance.

The Men for Legislators.

The Commercial editor" of the
Richmond Enquirer took occasion
while his compcers we're down at Pc
tcrsburg, working in the Governor-ma-
king factory, to let off a column olsen
sible remarks on the subject of choos-
ing men to legislate for us. The fol,
lowing is an extract: Ia
1t is a well known fact that all our
political movements, from the prima.
ry meeting in the smallest precinct to
the highest places. are controlled all
most entirely by professional politicians
who are too ready to pandcr to any
sectional excitement, however preiudi-
cial to the country, so their own ad.
vancement may be secured. In how
many instances is it the case that an
insignificant demagogue, without the
stake of the smallest substantial inter
est, yields aninauence thousand fold
greater than the merchant, whose
transactions are counted by millions,
and the ramiications of whose business
extend to the remotest parts of the
earth. als iagwI
Whether the reason of their indif-
ference to politics be found in the alb
sorbing interest of their immediate
business affairs, tho modest apprecia-
ton of their own merits and influence.
or their unwillingness to resort to the
trucking required, in many cases, to
insure their election, we will not now
enquire, but only call attention to the
existence of this indifference, and urge
every merchant reader, to the serious
consideration of his duty in view of
the responsibility imposed upon him
by his position. 1t may be sacrifice
OF apparent present interest to take
an active part in politics, or become a
legislator, but no one better understands
the Importance to the whole people of
wholesome legislation; nor is any one
better qualified than he to legislate
wisely.
From the days of John Hancock to
the present there have been some com.
mercial men in our State and national
councils, and their influence has always.
been felt, and the advice and counsel of
the most intelligent have been sought
in allimportant business matters.
1t is due to himself, it is due to the
class to which ne belongs, it is due to
the country and to the world that the
merchant should aspire to that rank in
politics which he occupies in every
other relation. 80
10 the people at large, and especially
to those who complain of high taxes
and bad laws, VIC commend the serious
consideration of their duty in the pre-
misses. The remedy is in their own
hands-let them elect to their councils
good, practical business men, such as
are found in all trades, callings and
professions, but especially among the
merchants.
DB~ Now is not that sound logic ?
Just look around you here at home.--
Would not CaUendine or Chadwtck.
(not to mention several of our Whig
merchants) make as reliable legislators
and represent their constituents as
creditably in the social circles of Rich
mond, as the men we have been send
ing there for several years past p
Think of it.
