S.v down In Texas, q whicA refhsf eurscus c'r

or. no copy Of the Platform could be ioona J" .n'

dslisht Of Convention of the fierce Democracy.
Accordingly the proposition fell through b"t
No cannot help feeling that the Democracy VI
Texas are overly particular and sqaeam'sh. here
in virginia We would not have been at oil set
hack" by ssch circumstance. We never nave
a Democratic Convention in Virginia oil any mig
ntude. that the Resolutions OF " aud " arc not
reafrr mcd with great JUNCTION, and remark"o'c
upauimity-but yet no Democrat calls Tor tue
reading of the Resolutions, and probably not one
in sftr # them erer did read them. The impru-
aent Democrat who would be unwilling to take
the Resolutions of '98 and 80 upon trust-who
,,ould threw a fire. brand into Convention by
calling for the reading and discussion OF them
vouh be forthwith expelled, We doubt not with
the l;yelies. manifestations Of disgust and displea-
sure.
Why not accept. with the same implicit faith,
the Resolutions Of the Cincinnati Platform? AS
both the Resolutions OF '98 aud the Resolutions
Of the Cincinnati Platform can be interpreted to
mean any thing or every thing that the occasion
NAV require we SEQ no reason why they should
not both DO placed upon the same footing lhas-
much rs the adoption Of the Cincinnati Platform
does not comm, anybody to anythng--,hat pre-
cious production being capable OF An INFINITE mum
Der Of opposite .constructions-the Democracy oi
Texas, as we said before seem to us to be put
ting rathor a too fine point upon it in hcs'ta''ng
at its adoption.
For tho convenience and comfort Of all future
Conventions of the faithful, whether in Texas or
else Y here, we suggest that the Cincinnati Plat
form, all the old Baltimore platforms, the Res'lu-
ference, and the other principal Democratic docu-
ments, be printed and bound up in separate vol
umes, labeled in gilt letters, THE Mysteries Of
Democracy" or 1.-The Weapons Of llunbug. -
Then, when any particularly cautious Democrat
in a future Sanhcdrim Of the party. calls for the
reading Of any Of them, he can be accommodated
without being put to the desperate strait to which
our Texas conventicle reduced. The book IL
self might be endorsed, us the lawyers say. in
gross"-and thus save all further trouble about
particulars. In this respect u valuable lesson may
be learned from the economy of the Scotch par
SON, who said grace the whole OK, to save the
necessity Of saying it over each particular sirlon
Brovnlow on tho Virginia Election.
We copy from the Knoxville Wing the following
sound and just conclusions of Parson Brownlow
respecting our late election in Virginia
Considering the fact that Virginia is the Maia-
kof Of American Democracy she never be-
fore wavered in the support OF that ,cket-w'th-
out going into any details rs it regards the late
contest there--enough is known. to show that the
''Od Dominion" the Mother Of Statcs." has vr-
tually repudated the corrupt administration of
Jsnes Buchanan, To whom less than three years
aga. she gave q majority OF 29.40o! This IN it.
self isa scathing rebuke to the administration,
and to the spoils party upholdine and sustaining
it, John Letcher, the Buchanan nominee OF tho
Petersburg Convention. if elected at all, is Cover
nor by a majority Of from one TO three thousand
and every vote composing that ma ority, cast by
anti4Slovevy meR, by Emdncipdfionists or. il the
reader please. by Aboiitioaists in the North West
who rallied to Letchcrs support because he was
prescribed for his Free Soil sentiments, and OPP
posed Goggin because he WAS a pyo-Sdccry man.
Al fl.r,, tl.,
demagoguss of that party, with these facts staring
them in the face look honest in the iaces and
again charge the Opposition in the South, with
Black Republican proclivities?
Four Buchanan nominees for Congress, certain
and probably Ave, have been defeated by Wings
Know Nothings, aud Independent Democrats. who
repudiated Buchanan's administration on the
stump, while the defeated nominees of the party,
and former members OF Congress, sought ,oex use,
uphold. and vindicatc, the extravasance and cor
ruptious Of the Administration Friends and
csuntrymen, what signal rebuke Of the pruHigute
party who have brought this Government - the
verge Of ruin, and to actual bankruptcy! What
q revolution, when even the Virginia Democracy
return a vesdiet OF guilty against the .:ne,erving
spoils-loying aud corrupt leaders OF their party !!
What commentary upon the integrity of the
masses, and their capacity for selfgoycrnnent. to
find them in defiance Of such an amount Of State
and National patronage. and other appliances,
standing up for the Constitution and Laws and
against an immense army Of official plunderers !!
II Goggin could thus, in one canvass annihilate
a majority Of THIRTY THOUSAND VOTES
what will Netherland do with Buchanan's seren
thousand in Tennessee? Our victory in Tennes-
see and Kentucky 10 o fixed fact-we shall elect
Governor and twothirds Of the congressman -
Let the result then, in the Old Dominion, inspire
Us with renewed ardor. and nerve our arms to
still greater and moro untiring efforts!
