@It is astonishing with what tena-
city men cling to party-with what zeal
they defend its wrongs, and with what
promptnsss they sacrifice their personal
interests to secure its Advancement. The
greatest enormities are covered up--the
basest corruption apOlOgised for.
We 60 to the polls in township aud
county elections. where no political ques'
tions are at tissue-whers we have nothing
to do but sel4ot meu to gil our county or
township offices to receive our taxes or
record our deeds, DC, or preserve the
peace-and in place of asking ourselves
who are most capable, who are most hon
est, who will discharge the trust with
most promptness, we inquire who ara
Democrats or who are Republicans, and
vote them Llindly if they agree with US
in politics. 10 matter what their quall6ca
tions, no matter wba, their moral or 30
cial standing.
Take. for example, the small though

To this office no man ought to be elected

that they are Democrats" or "Repu! Ii
cans;" and we give tbom our support 70
no bettor reason.
By this blind and obstinate devotion
to party. aud foolish neglect Of our ow n in

men, who are in no wise qualified to dis

WASHINGTON, Aug IL lo0o.
DEPARTURE OF THE PREsIDENT.
The President left to day for Bedford
Springs, having delayed his departure
one day for the return Of Gov. Cobb.
PRESCRIPTION IN NEW YORK..
Much depends upon Gov Cobb wheth-
er the ak Of prescription is to be welded
IN New York as desired by Messrs. Dick
insou & Co. Messrs. Schell. Barr, Sic
klss. Rynders and others have been here,
and are. it is said, demanding the decspi'
tatiou Of Douglas man. Mr.. Cobb is at
heart opposed to making removals for
opinion s sake, but his feelings of antago-
nism TO political opponents are wrought
up to higher pitch than ever before in
his experience. Both himself and the
President are profoundly thoughtful over
the suggestions Of Oonsiderate party friends
that every act Of prescription makes votes
for Judge Douglas.
THE VIRGINIA CONVENTIONS.
The two Virginia Democratic Conven-
tions, now in session, are much smaller
bodies than nigh. have been expected, as
large numbers of the counties appointed
twenty FIVE delegates, and some even more
than that number. Instead of having
Conventions numbering thousands they
are counted by the hundred. Does not
the fact signify that the Democratic mass

Carolina and Mississippi in endeavorine

If the Ago Of Virtue takes its place
among the literary journals Oi the day. in
accordance with the idea which originally
suggested the necessity of such a publ
cation, it will be unique in the character
Of its literature; because, to achieve its
mission, it will address itsclf to the high
er thoughts and sentiments only, OF the
heart and mind. If it fails TO make man
wiser, better and happier, in the sphere
of its circulation, then will it have ap-
peared in vain. That which informs the
understanding aud developes the moral
sense. is the true wisdom. The relation
that man sustaias to the world he lives
in, to himself, and to the author OF his
being, are the inquiries that most concern
him tcre. AS befors limited at, large
