Relief EDg. E<JStcra.

AS a relief, generally, for the business
public. bat especially editors, We earnestly
urge upon our Legislature to authorize the
banks Of the Commonwealth, for a restrict
ed period, to issue bank notes Of less de-
nomination thai five dollars. In the pres
ent distressed condition Of our monetary at.
fairs, and the remarkable scarcity Of change,
it is an exceedingly difficult matter for the
ordinary business of the community to BE-
transacted. Let the Legislature pass an
act authorizing the Banks of the State tc
issue o limited amount Of small bills, to be
drawn in so soon as the country becomes
settled and the channels of trade ~properl,
opened, and instant relief will be realized
by every branch Of commerce. Especial,
will it be advantageous to editors, for theii
remittances of small amounts could the more
safely and conveniently be made by mail
and many an account would be paid, whicl
otherwise might remain CT their books for
years; for, it is we'll known, when some PEG
pie get hold Of silver or gold dollar, they
feel like in~structipg it to sing, "farewel
vain world, I'm going home" before they
SIX it. fit were a note, they would KEEP
it in circulation.
We ask the serious attention of cur dele
gates to this matter. It effects the inter.
ests Of all their constituents, and it is q sug,
gestioa approved by some Of the most expe
rienced and judicious bank officers Of the
State, as a means Of speedy and eaectual re
lief to the people.

Halifax, partake of the right spirit. These
gentlemen we're elected as Union men, and
are looked upon abroad as submissicnists.-
The resolutions indicate the character of
their submission. They take precisely the
position we now occupy, and that which we
have advocated ever since the Convention
bill passed. It is the position to which the
Convention uiH be driuen by the force of
circumstances and call it secession, r~eroIu-
ron, or whatever it may please the fastidi-
oas, Virginia will be torcedto separate from
tbe Northern States, if security, ample and
comprehensive, is not given for the future.
It il useless to talk about preserving the u
nion, we again repeat. 1t is gone, SO far
as the six States are concerned, and if the
causes which made them leave are not re-
moved, Virginia w1ll also go. This fact,
the people might as we'll look full in the
face.

PARTY Complexion.

il il known to every one that in the re-
cent canvass for Delegates to the Seate
Convention. everything like old party lines
was obliterated. By this means, it hap
pers that a majority Of those elected are of
the Wing party Instead of carrying out
the catholic spirit by which they were sent
20 Rieansond, the Convection has been or
gas.ised upon the ~strictest party policy, and
Democracy considered an insurpcratle dis
qualification for any important position. 1t
is emphatically a Wing or Opposition Con-
s%entioa, indebted for its success, however,
60 an ingenious and well concealed deep
a:ou of the people. And, mark the predic-
fion, the legislation of this Convention will
nlave q more immediate reference to the SUI
premacy of the party faith of the dominant
political sentiment there, than to the pri-
mary object for which the body was conve-
ned. Whilst, by the irresistible influence
Of events, it may be forced totake position,
it will not be until precious hoursibave been
eousumcd w an attempted effort to c%onsoli-
date a powerful party against the Democ-
racy, aud resurrect the fossil remains Of the
various competitors slain upon the political
highways of the country by the shibboleth
Of Democracy. We warn Democrats in ad-
valfce. The thing must be strangled in its
5ufaucy.
