O1iy Two Weeks OF

The election is now ONLY two weeks of
On this day fortnight, the great contest
in which we have been eagaged for months
past will be decided. Are our friends all
ready for the battle? Are they fully and
thoroughly organized in every county and
neighborhood? Have they registered the
voters in their respective maglsterlal dis
tricts, and obtained from them all. a promise
to attend the polls, and vote for GodGIN, WILL
LEY and PRESTON?
We consider the interval between now and
the day of election by far the most important
part of the canvass. More may be done du-
ring this interval, by proper and wisely al,
rected efforts, to arouse our own party
friends, and enlist Democrats themselves IN
the support of our ticket and our cause, than
has been, or could have been done, during
the whole campaign heretofore. The voters,
as the day nearly approaches for them to ex-
ercise the high and sacred right OF suffrage,
begin to think more seriously of their duty
and of what patriotism demands at their
hands. They are, consequently, more &C.
cessible to argument, to remonstrance, IL
persuasion, to appeal, and may be more east
ly influenced to discard the paltry and igno-
bic suggestions and dictates Of mere party,
and vote as their judgments and consciences
NAV admonish them. What, then, may not
be accomplished by few intelligent, active,
and energetic Wings in every neighborhood
in the State, in behalf Of our noble and gal
liant standard bearers in the present contest!
May not almost every Wing in the Common
wealth influence at least one Democrat to
abandon the extravagant and erroneous
party with which he has heretofore ac-
ted, and cordially cooperate with the con-
sentative and patriotic Opposition at the
coming election? If we gain on an average
in each county some sixty or seventy votes
over the vote given to Flournoy, four years
ago, we shall elect our candidates, and no
bly, redeem the State from the thraldom OF
Democratic misrule. Cannot this be done!
We are sure it can be, if our friends will ex-
ert themselves with the energy and zeal that
becomes them. In a very large number Of
counties, we shall gain hundreds over the
Wing vote at the last Gubernatorial election.
Nor il there county in the State, we be-
lieve, in which we shall not make consider
able gain. But what we desire is. that there
shall be generous rivalry among the vsrl-
Gus counties in this matter. Which of the
counties shall give us the largest gains in
proportion to the Opposition vote in such
counties? Is not this contest in which our
friends in all the counties may engage with
the greatest spirit? Rich. Via.

Strongly Put.

The Nashville Union, the Democratic or
gan in Tennessee, after the fashion OF our
Democratic organs here in Virginia, has
been wading into statistics, and cyphering
largely to show how economical Mr.. Buchan-
ans Administration has been. To these
charitable endeavors, Wing contempt
rary responds in the following blunt and
conclusive style:
The Imposition organ at Nashville wades
through column OF two Of figures, to prove
that Mr.. Buchanan only spent S54,OW,OOO
during the last fiscal year. The amsdnt that
has been spent and squandersd under Mr..
Buchanan can be arrived at in very simple
manner, and We will do it in this way
How much money did the tariff bring into
the treasury during the last fiscal year: for.
ty-fye million dollars. Well, that's all
gone, isn't it: Yes. You borrowed forty
five millions more, didn't you: Yes. Well.
that's all gone, isn't it. Most assuredly, for
the treasury is bankrupt and there Is not
dollar in it. This makes S90,0O0,0O0. Now
add to this about 81 0O0, 900 which has been
received from the sales of the public lands,
and the amount foots up S94, 0OO,0 900, which
was received at the treasury during the last
fiscal year. Now. if you have only spent
S54. 900, 900, in tine name of common sense
what has become of the remaining 1000
900? Did you spend the $4,000, GOO in de-
fraying the honest expenditures of the Gov,
eminent, and squandrr the 100000 600 ON

The Truth Unpalatable.

The Democratic presses are trying to ex-
cite the spirit of unbelief among the people,
~ 10 the facts which have been presented to
them I" prove extravaganza and corruption
against our Democratic rulers. The old song
is raised and everything is attempted to be
cried down, as the production OF Black Re-
publican Committee. That ia very convc-
nient way of discardng unpalatable truths ,
but how will they get over Democratic an-
thority, Let them answer the following de-
clarations Rich. Why.
"Mr Toombs, Democratic Senator from
Georgia, declared in the Senate on the 18th
of May, 1858: We speak of the corrup-
ton of Mexico. Of Spain, of France, and of

Several other Senators: "Idgyre 10 that"
(See Appendix to Congressional Globe, 1858,

ION another occasion, said Gen. Shields,
one of the Democratic Senators from Min
nesota i think it is not saying too much
to declare that this country has gone faster
and further, in ten gears, in extravaganza,
than most other countries in tea centasies."

is making moye co7Tpt rses Of monsy in pro-
portion to the amount collected. az honestly

There is also that famous testimony of
Mr.. Pryor about the ''rnttenness of corrup-
ton sending up IN ins4fsrdbte stencil"
