just in accordance with the character of the
Legislation effecting it.
We believe slavery is the best condition
for the negro-morally, socially and politi-
cally but if we were to ascertain that it
vas not pccuniarily advantageous for us to
own negroes, we would be far from retain
ing them. The South does not maintain
and foster slavery because Of any moral
computations nor does the North oppose
it from any such considerations. It is a
question Of finance, land the community which
finds it profitable will have it; and uice
| versa
We have given these views relative to the
question Of slavery in the Territories, know
ing that many Of our own party will dissent
from, and endeavor to controvert them by d
resort to metaphysical reasoning and as
sumptioDs in theory. We have not, nor dc
we mean to treat the subject in hair split
ting manner. We put the plain, practical
interrogatory, "Will not the people Of the
Territory eventually decide whether they
will or will not have slavery p If SO, is

touching upon the tangible, practical issue
embraced in the term popular sovereign.

Collision.

A collision occurred on Wednesday, on
the Va. Central Railroad, which resulted
seriously in fracturing the leg of one Of the
Engineers, Mr.. McCandlish, and in smash.
ing the engine and cars to such an exten,
that it will require several thousand dollar,
to repair the loss. The accident occurred
near Meechum's River, the material train
being overtaken by the mail train near that
point. The engineer on the material train
finding it impossible to reach the station ,en-
deayored to back down to switch, land sent
back a flag Of warning, but the up-train was
too near to reverse the engine, and Mr. Nc
Candlish fractured his leg by jumping from
the train. Mr.. Kyle, the Mail Agent, was
also slightly injured.

Baptist General Association.

1t will be seen by a card in another col.
umn, that the Baptist General Association
of Virginia, will meet in this place in a few
weeks. We learn that this will be the frs,
time that this body has met East of the Blue
Ridge. but we hope that their reception here
will be such as to make them DESTROYS tt
renew their visit, for we are sure that such
meetings are not only a source of pleasure
to those who open their houses, but real
benefit to the town. We are informed that
the delegation will be quite large, but from
the we'll known hospitality Of our citizens,
and from the fact that this body has beer
amply entertained in Charlottesville and
other towns Of smaller size than this, we
have no doubt but that they will be well
taken care of here.

Messrs. Peyton & Jordan are making ex-
tensive additions to the Virginia Hotel, and
enlarging their facilities for accommodating
the visitors and travellers who generally
flock to the mountains in the summer sea-
son. They are now erecting building,
connected with the main Hotel by porch,
containing between 20 and 30 rooms, each
with fire place in it; and to be lighted with
gas. This will make the Virginia one OF
the most commodious, as it is one of the
best kept Hotels in the State.
The American Hotel, kept by our friend,
8. B. Brown, Esq, is also undergoing rem
ovation, and preparation is being made to
meet the demands of the vast patronage
which finds its way here in the months now
approaching. Staunton, now, as she has
always been, is marked for the superiority
Of her Hotels, and the comfort which the
weary traveller receives on arriving here
and finding such excellent accommodations.

For Richmond.

Three individuals, ornamented with a
gorgeous display Of iron chains about their
wrists and ankles, and hailing from Cabe1l
county, Va, arrived here on Monday even
ing last, via Central Railroad, en- route for
Richmond, accompanied by the Sheriff Of
Cabell county, and three or four other citi-
zens. One of them had appropriated a
horse of his neighbor to his own use, and
being his second offence, will remain in
Richmond for nine years. Another was
guilty Of stabbing man, and is sentenced
for two years. The other for arson-the
term of his punishment we did not learn.

Missouri.

The State Convention Of the Democrats
party, which assembled in Jefferson City,
Mo, on the 9th inst, to select candidates
for Governor, Lieut.. Governor, &c., nomi-
mated Hon. e. F. jackson, of Saline county,
for the first Office, and Hon. Thos. G. Rey-
nolds, of st. Louis, for the second.
1t is source of qualification to us to re-
cord this interesting fact. These gentle
men are Democrats of the genuine States
Rights stamp, and will difuse the true spirit
throughout the State in the present can
vass. The Democracy Of Missouri, for sew
eral years past, has been burdened with a
Yankee dynasty at the State Capitol, which
has well-nigh proven a neither milestone
about her neck. The nomination Of Mr..
jackson, however, is an assurance that there
is still vitality in the ranks, and that a fight
With the cohorts Of the Opposition will be
made upon principle. For if there is man
who lives upon Gods green earth who is a
Democrat from principle. that man is Clal-
borne F. Jackson, Of Missouri. His sue
cess will be genuine triumph ofthe party,
and the most disastrous and fatal blow the
Black Republicans and their allies could
receive in that State. We shall hail the
election of Messrs. Jackson and Reynolds
as AN suspicious event for the Democracy
and sure guarantee that 'princip!es, not
men," still rule and control in Missouri,

it lis this that has given her the influence she

will not be suggested to any one who has Ia
