The GATHERING OPPosrTIoN FOR TIE CAMPAIGN
or 186O.-The New York Express, (SOuth Amer
lean paper,) one OF the ablest Journals in the
country, has an article upon the progress OF the
fusion of the great elements of opposition to the
present administration, now going on all over
the country. The Express says;
Now, the fact is, Mr.. Buchanan has been SO
administering the Federal Government as to
TSrcc together, noIens ColeRs, the elements ofthe
l|onnosition. even in spite of the animositles OF
their political lenders. He did not, in his Lee
compton Kansas Bill, keep faith with the Popu-
lar Sovereignty principle of his own party plat
form, as we'll as the platform of common sense,
that people shonld be left free to govern
themselves.-and hence arose unity OF oPpo-
sition which took in the Douglas Democrats, the
Americans, and the Republicans. When this
Anti Popular Sovereignty Bill was practically
though only indirectly, abandoned in the Kan
sas-Englsh Bill, it was clOgged with SUCH de-
predatiou to the Free States-nameiy, thatsone
40 900 white people only are needed TO make
Slave State while 100000 Free State people are
necessary to make Free State,-the unity OF the
opposition in the North was only cemented by the
very attempt TO degrade usall. Here in this quar-
ter we are particularly indignant because OF the
Presidcntsinterferenc in our local city election,
in the removal OF the U. S. District Attorney, Mr..
McKeon, because he would MT support Mayor
Wood for n third run Tor Mayor Such an IN
reference with the mere charter election OF n
trent city. when two Democrats were running
against each other, was an indignity upon us
that we rebuked at the time, and we mean to
rebuke more and more The enormous and profit
gate expenditures of the Federal Government,
which Is now driven to borrowing to support
itself, and which threatens to run up national
debt of SlOOO0o,uUO, is another genuine and
| stronger reason for unity of action against the
administration thereof We cannot afford now
to frittor away, in personal anmosities strength,
which, if united periodically, will certainly
sweep away tins Administration, and re-intro-
duce reform and economy in the government
The Union of the Wigs far tile Sake Of the
Union, was the cry which, in 1910, so trium-
phantly elected Gen. Harrison-and like union
of all honest men, of all the old parties, is call
ed for now to rescue the Federal Government
from the imbecity and corruption into which
it has fallen.

BILLY BowLEGs, Eso-The gala dress worn
by w. B. LEGS, Esq, the "big ingun," when
leaving New Orleans the other day, was quite
distingus, and must have captivated all lockers
on. a New Orleans paper describes it thus:
When the boat approached the crazy old pier
in front of the Barracks, which the high water
had reduced to mere skeleton of twisted planks
and timbers, the first person who appeared with
in the circle of the torchlight was the renown-
ed and puissant warrior of the Everglades, Billy
Bowlegs, whose costume on the occasion was as
primitive and airy as that which renders the
Georgia Major famous. In his hand he held
his trusty rife, and he was magnihcently clad in
an old cotton shirt, which descended a trihe low
er than the waist, while from his neck depended
n gorgeous brass brooch, of curious pattern.

The PENNY Press IN ENGLAND-In no coun-
try in the world do newspapers approach the
excellence or the cheapness, which they do in
the United States. The London Times has been
big paper because it has enjoyed monopoly.
But now England is awake and her penny press
is rising into power. According to an exchange,
The effect of this composition on the Times
has been very sensible During the Crimean
war its circulation was about 10000 copies. 1t
is now down to 10000 or $4,000. 1t has had to
reduce its advertising rates, and it is rumored,
contemplatcs coming down to the penny rates,
Formerly the Times was taken all over London
bv the local newsmen, who loaned it penny an
hour to those unable TO purchaseit; 1t was kept
in the saloons, beer shops, coffee houses, and
hotels, to which the laboring classes resorted to
spend two or three pennies for beer, coffee, &c,
in order to get the reading of the Times. Now
the thing is different They do not take half the
copies of "the thunderer" to hire out, lend or
sell. The penny papers have destroyed the
monopoly

PENNSYLVANIA PoLImcs.-Forney is plying
his trusty, keen edged Damascus blade, daily,
upon the prospects of the administration party
in the coming fall cIectionin Pennsylvania. The
prospect is that Mr.. Buchanan will meet with
one of the most utter and total Waterloo de-
feats ever sustained by any party in the Key
stone State.
Forney leads on the opposition. He has no
compromises to effect with the enemy. Hest
in his paper of yesterday
We give our convictions-we have no Ian;
guage Of cntreaty. 1t was never taught us, and
we never learned it. We have no terms to offer
none. II any one who acts with US should
propose compromises not clearly consistent with
the views we utter, we promise to despise him
he would despise himself We battie for the
welI-snown law of the land; for the maintainance
of reiterated pledges; for justice, and for right
If we fall in such fight, let no man pity us;
let him rather mourn over the degeneracy of
the times, the imbecility and corruption of his
fellows, and the rapid decay of liberal institu-
tiunS.

The GREAT DERRY HORSES AND PoLlTIcs.-The
British Parliament, on the 2sth, adjourned
over" for two days-in order to give members
opportunity to go to the races. The First Mu-
lister of the Crown, Lord Derby, had a fast
horse CToxophilite) on the course, and was anx-
ious that he should win-the stakes being 35,-
600. 1t was "crisis" with the Premier in the
House of Commons, on the motion to censure,
but, politics, for once, had to give way-by
common consent-to 'that noble animal the
horse" On the day of the race, the London
Times said:
at is hard to say which, in British estimation,
is the most important question at issue. The
same man has the greatest interest in both. To-
day the question is whether Toxophilite is the
fastest horse in the country on Friday the queS-
ton is whether his master is the best man for
Premier. Its shrewdly observed that the stake
in both cases is e., 1000; hut honor Is above all
reckoning. Proiane people wickedly suggest
that Lord Derby cares more for the success of
his horse than for that of his Administration;
and that If Toxophite wins to-day, he cares
not who grasps the reins of power on Friday"

Pnsr OFFICE RRponus-Et will be seen by to-
davis telegraph that several important reforms
have been proposed on behalf of the General
Post Office Department. The great cardinal
principle upon which it is proposed to base
these reforms is to make the Post Office pay its
own way, as nearly as possible. The I'd pro.
posal provides for abolishing the franking priv
ileGe, or greatly curtailngit. We 90 in for this
strong. The ranking privilege is one of the
fruitful causes Of all our sectional disturbances.
Members of Congress make speeches, get sew
eral thousand of them printed, because they
know they can send them free of cost to every
man woman and child in their respective dis
tricts- If this privilege were cut down, we
should not have the number of speeches-b1t
much more hard working, productive legsla-
ton. We say, then, by all means, coniine the
ranking privilege to the bare allowance of free
letters.
The next reform is to lop off the stupendons
expenditures for printing. That also Is cry
ing evil. Such loads of matter-"fat, stale and
Improbable matter"-as daily arrive ut this
Wheeling, and other distributing Post Offices,
such as all kinds of reports, of no use to any
body, are enough to break up any Post Office
Department.
The other provisions do not so Immediately
concern us, as those we have mentioned, but
the whole programme is good one. We hope
it will he adopted.

VAST OF An EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM pub
lIshed some time ago appeals from some cores
pondents in Marshall county, touching the pro
posed reform in their system of popular educn-
tion. The State of Virginia does, from time to
time, on request, give to the different countleS
power to adopt such an educational system as
the inhabitants may see fit to elect When
doing this. she thinks she is doing quite enough
and that she is going Just as far as street con
struction and decent regard for the principles
of '9S and '9g will allow. twill be long tiLne'
| probably, ere we sec change in the educauonai
policy of our State. True, we every year no~'
make more or less ado about some great project
projected a year or two ago, BY which College
Of teachers and scientific men, hold regular
annual meetings and throw out and set at WORK
general reform. At this writing we must say
we have no hopes of ever seeing the propose"
reform effected in that or any similar way
Sor,.boyy or other we are al wrong end Tore
most ON a basis Of or rather project for, syS
ten of popular cducation-or more properly
and Mainly speaking, Common School System
we always have been wrong side up in our
ideas about introducing a system of the KIND.
Away back in our history, we recollect that Sir
William Berkeley, one of our early Colonial
Governors, said of his province, that he thanked
God that there were neither free schools nor
printing presses in it, and he devoutly hoped,
there ''might be none these hundred OF years
to come. God keep us" said the Governor,
"from both" Verify, the prayer of Berkeley
seems to have been answered, in that part of it
NJ least, relating TO free schools. Virginia. to her
detrirnent has neglected the education of her poor
youth and the consequence is, that to-day she
has an adult population of upwards of eighty
thousand who cannot read or write. Gov. Wisc'
not long ago, uttered some such speech as that
of Sir William Bcrlllcy's, concerning his dis
trict; and but year or so ago the intelligent
Comparatively sol county Of Brooke. rejected a
system of common schools. And why? Because
it imposed nm additional tax upon the freehold
ers. This narrow minded spirit is what is crush
ing our best interests and prospects every day
If knowledge is power among individuals, it is
not less so among States.
We sincerely sympathise with these efforts in
the different counties from time to time to throw
off the incubus of Ignorance, and to open up
schools at every cross road for the benefit of
the masses. But the great want is " genera!
system of education all over the State, such as
they have in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other
States We shall have much to say on this sub
iect. in the way of facts aud figures, ere long
We have said this much by way of introduction.
