Small Farms.

We desire to impress on the common sense
reasoning of every man, the paramount i'm
portance of having no more land in cultiva-
ton than can be cultivated. By no means
attempt to manage more than you can man
age well. BE farmer, not mere earth
scraper, lazily scratching up sufficient earth
to destroy the face ofthe soil, and throw seed
away, or you will have to scratch hard for a
living. But make your farm a source of
pride, and it will surely become source of
profit; make the objects to be, not to have
many, but rich acres.

Hon. JonS RrTnEHcooRp.
Cm'h Dem. S!nke Exec. C;mmittec -:
Dear Sir: My purpose was 20 attend the
meeting OF ''our committee to be held On the
10th inst. in the city 0; Richmond, but bust,
ness engagements OF a pressing nature will
prevent. If possible, the Democracy Of Vir.
sinia ought to unite; for if we 20 into the can
vass in our present divided and distracted con-
dition, defeat is inevitable. 1t may be that the
assembled Democracy may suggest a mode Of
delircrancc alike honorable to all parties, though
I doubt it. 1t is evident that the friends of
Breckenridge and Douglas cannot consistently
stand upon the same platform, for they are di.
vided upon n vital principle, and any arrange
ment by which the lwo wings Of the Democra-
cy are made to vote for the same electoral tick.
ct must necessarily, as it seems to me, stultify
the one or the other. However, as a conren.
ton seems to be desired, and as / can see no
harm that is likely to grow out of it | favor
its call. In reference to vacancies in the cleo.
toral ticket, and all kindred questions, would
it not be best to refer them to the convention,
Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1860-07-13
The State Convention.


1t will be seen from this issue Of the
enquirer" that the State Executive Commit
tee have decided upon calling the party to-
Their in Convention, on the 10th of August, at
Charlottesville, to take into consideration the
present divided and disrupted condition Of the
Democracy, and TO devise means for the union
aad harmony Of the party in the present can
vasS.
II is to be hoped chat the counties i'll the ap'
po;ntment Of delegates will select their most
Influential and discreet members Us delegates
and that the spirit of harmony and concession
will prevail as far as the maintenance OF p'in'
ciples will permit.
Two membcrs Of the Committee, McsSrS.
Rivcs and Harman, nave also Issued = call up
on the friends OF Mr.. Douglas 10 meet in Ioa-
~ycn,ion at :S,aunton on the 10Th August.
The two Conventions meeting thus Oh the
same day but at different places, It Is iiopeo'
will be able to effect some measure OF union
that will preserve the State organization.
The State will look to the patriotic men who
will compose these tw" Conventions t" l'aF'no-
niza the party, to aliay the divisions '''at 40"
exist, and TO take those measures which Shall
defeat Bell and Everett in Eirg:na.
These Conventions will have before them a
domestic STATE division. in eac;, branch Of which
are good and true Virginia Democrats, who
have acted together in the past, and whose nc,
tive cooperation will be required in the future.
To harmonic and unite these divisions is the
purpose and object of these Conventions, and
the means of ettecting this is.tlle abandonment
of all acrimony and hrslrncss i'll the discus
sions that prccede the meeting of these Con-
y~cntioEs.

The election would then be thrown into the
House of Representatives, which body would
be required to choose among the three fore
most candidates-Lincoln, Bell and Brcckill-
ridge. Mosi probably it would be impossible
to obtain a majority for either, and the contest
would thus be transferred to the Senatc-and
there tao two foremost Vice Presidential can.
di 'ates, Haul.in and Everett, would be the sole
competitors.
Thus a party which to-dsy cannot command
enc ent organization in more than eight States
in The Union, aud even in each of these States.
Yields a more m~inority-might be lifted into
power and Importance by the sheer force of
division among the Democracy in the border

10 the Democrats Of Virginia, who are in fl.
yor Of conforming to the usagcs Of the party,
and who are for preserving its national organi-
cation by supporting the nominees for President
and Vice President of the United States, Ste
phcn y. Douglas, of Illinois, and Hcrschell Y.
johnson, Of Georgia, duly nominated by the
adjourned National Convention, held ut Balti-
more, the undersigned, members of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee Of Virginia, beg
leave to submit the following statement:
by 4 call from the Chairman of the State
Central Committee, its members held Il meet
ing in the city Of Richmond, on Tues
day, the 10th instant, to take such action,
rs might be deemed necessary to harmonic
and conciliatc the division now existing in Viz
gilia between tho friends Of Breckenridge and
Lane and those Of Douglas and Johnson. The
proposition first submitted 10 the committee
was whether a State Convention should be held.
The undersigned, aware of the fact, as the De-
lnocracy Of Virginia generally arc, that the
State Convention which assembled in the
spring pledged the party to support the nomi-
nccs Of the National Convention-this pledge
having been made BY the body which appoint
cd the Central Committee could not be re-
vokcd by said committee, nor could the com-
miltee, in the opinion of the undersigned, take
any action or institute any proceeding looking
directly or indirectly to the support Of other
candidates than those named by the Democrat
ic National Convention.
That the Convention, should the committee
decide to call one, was expected to nominate
an electoral Ticket, which would cast the cleo.
toral vote OF the State against the regular no.
minccS Of the National Convention, Douglas
and johnson, there cannot be 4 doubt. Being
satisfied that the object of the majority of the
committee was TO promote the nomination of
All electoral ticket for the support of candidates
hostile 10 those Of the National Drmocra-
c., the undersigned did not feel author.
lied 10 aid in making this inroad upon
the time hoHored usage Of the party, and
they therefore voted against the call Of
a Convention; it. however, was adopted
Still lring anxious TO heal dissehSion; to con-
clllatc brethren Of the same party, who have so
often and so calamity fought together under
the same flag; whose eagles they have KEEP,
pcrched so long upon the rauparS of the Con-
Stitutlan, The undersigned submitted the fol-
ioWils lalr' just and charitable proposition
NV t,creas, the present division of the Demo
cratic party must lead 10 tho loss of the cleo.
toral vote OF Virginia, unless some comnro.
