ALEXANDRIA,:
SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1883.

The late meeting in Philadelphia, in favor
of protecting American industry, was one OF
the largest and most earnest ever held in
that city. This is considered the beginning
of popular organization, which its friends
expect to extend to every city, town, and viii
lage in the State. Referring to those eras in
the past history of the country when prosper.
ity followed measures for the protection OF
national industry, when Clay, Webster, Clay
ton, and others insisted on the great truth
that prosperity to the State was to be obtain
ed only by the means OF measures which
transferred the workshops from the soil OF
Europe to our own, the meeting determined
TO render their views practical, by the adop-
ton OF the following, amongst other resolu-
tons:
"Resolved, That it is our fixed determination
at all future elections, 10 give our votes to sucn
candidates, and such only, as shall prove them
selves prepared 10 give their aid to measures
looking TO securing to the American laborer
market for his labor"
Such issues as these, are every way more
national, and more statesmsnllke, than those
connected with the slavery agitation. Penn
sylvania has always, heretofore, been Tariff
state; but, has generally voted for the candi-
dates of those most opposed to Protection of
American Industry.

Kansas IsesoIutians.

| The California Express, Of Monday, is
"pIeased' with the postponemcnt Of the
Kansas resolutions BY the Senate, I" because
IL shuts off all discussion until better un
derstanding can be had Of the true position
Of affairs in Kansas" This is certainly
to our notions Of Democracy. or what use
10 it for the Democracy to promulgate ma
tional principles rs the panacea for every
phase Of sectional strife, If they are to be
abandoned in times Of great danger to our
common country! If the nuth and cor
rectness Of Democratic principles, will not
bear discussion In q California Senate, the
intelligence Of the American people was
greatly at fault in sanctioning them, and
the statesmen and patriots Of the nation
were guilty Of demagogism and gross by.
pocrisy in urging them upon the country as
the true principles offree government. The
right Of instruction is q doctrine long rec
ognized by the Democracy, and in what
more appropriate way can the sense Of the
nation DO obtained upon questions that may
unexpectedly arise Other States have in
structed their Representatives upon this
measure, and we venture the assertion that
the Legislature Of no other State in the I'M
ion. where the question has been introduced
has adopted such a discreditable method Of
disposing Of 1t. We regret to see the advo-
Gates Of Democracy ignore the discussion Of
our principles, and confess our inability to
suppose a case which would justify their
abandonment. For those who would abandon
the platform Of the Democracy, and then
party, we have no sympathy. They may
succeed in severing their own connection
with the party as now constituted, but the
national doctrine implanted in tho great
heart of the people by the action Of the
Democracy will still triumph. Without it,
the Democracy cannot. neither would they
merit success. They have promulgated doc
trines too national in their character, and
too sound, to DO succeeded by measur es Of
sectional expcdicncy, or by return to com.
promises. That doctrine will prevail. and
it matters not to it's adberents whether its
operations crush the corns on Republican
toes, or destroy the schemes of othor Sec
tional fanatics. We should regret to see
those who have aided to establish those ma
tional doctrines, crushed beneath them,
and find some consolation in the belief that
they may not be, for their present practice
in lodging. would undoubtedly enable them
to dodge on to the platform Of the victorious
party.

The subject of State House 10 just now
attracting attention at Sacramento and
elsewhere. A proposition to purchase the
building now occupied by the legislature,
but which belongs to the city of Sacramento,
has been proposed, and Mr.. Nouges, who
formerly had the contract to erect State
House, for 5000, 900, is auxions for the job,
and asks that the contract may BIO renewed
The policy Of doing 80, however may well
be doubted. The present building answers
very well, and IL 1t is worthy Of paying an
extravagant rent for. il would seem to be
policy for the State to purchase 1t. Should
the present Session adjourn without making
any arrangements for capitol building,
Sacramento may experience some little diff.
fculty in retaining the Capitol. After Orc.
willie has turned Feather river for more than
mile in length, and secured the rich depos-
it's that are known to be upon its bed rock.
they may conclude to erect building wor-
thy of the State, entirely of marble. Of
which Butte has great plenty, with "Eu.
veka' engraved upon every slab, and pre-
sent II to the State, on condition that 0ro-
Vile be selected as the permanent capitol
of the State. As Butte pays more money
into the State Treasury than any other min
ing county. such an arrangement would oh.
viate the danger of loss incurred in the
transportation of large sums of money from
Butte to Sacramento. Oroyille has not vet
determined upon being the Capitol Of the
State. but ifshe starts after it. we take II for
granted the Capitol will walk up hero. The
best thing Sacramento can do to retain the
capitol. Is to present the building now occu-
pied by the Legislature, to the State.

Burning Of the Austria,

But a year has passed since we were call
ed upon to chronicle one of the most heart
rending marine disasters that ever appeared
on the ocean record. We allude of course.
to the loss of the Inflated Central America,
and her gallant commander, Lieut.. Hern-
don. Another year has rolled around, and
we have another no less terrible to record
1t seems that the steamship Austria sailed
from Bremen on the 18th inst, with crew
and passengers amounting to between five
and six hundred. On the 18th inst, a lit
Ole after 2 o'clock P. Me-, fire broke out
which baffied all attempts to check. The
powder magazine soon exploded, d;sman-
ting the ship SO fearfully that all attempts
to save her were given up, and the passen-
gers had no other hope but to save them
selves. Only sixty out Of the 900
were saved The gallant captain himself
was killed by the explosion, SO that there
was no one to direct or care for the passen-
gers. 1t is enc of the painful tasks Of the
Journalist to record; such events, but it be-
comes our duty to bow with meek humility
to the hand that smites US.

The Convention.

Where shall the Convention be held p
This is the question which seems to bother
many of our friends at this time, but we
see no good reason why it should. We
can agree, it seems to us without difficulty.
The most proper place for the Convention is
Staunton, because it is the most central
place in the State, affords good and easy
access, accommodate as good and pleas
ant as any in the State. Besides this, we
have several other inducements. We have
fine mountain views for our lowlanders, and
and the prettiest, freshest and fairest looking
ladies to be found in our State. To some
Of the members Of the opposition who ia
vor Staunton, hoping it may be the end of
some Of the faithful, we hold out the addi-
tional inducement, that Augusta affords the
best whiskey to be found in the State. This
will no doubt be an important consideration
in appointing place Of assembly, and we
throw out the suggestion for all who may
be inclined to this place. Come to Staun-
ton THEY'VE offer you good accommoda-
tons, pretty ladies to look at, and the best
whiskey the State affords.
