FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 20.

Re entirely agree with the Richmond Times
n; Richmond Wing in several of their late
.rticies, With regard to the true policy Of Vir-
.;ln;a, in tue present crisis Of Der history. The
:i1aos says:-"It is the policy Of all civilized
>faies 10 invite and protect foreign capital, but
ct 20 surrender to nonresident corporators
rs control of the principal sources Of State
;oWcr and wealth. BY pursuing policy which
;,5thas the citizen with po|er which we refuse
G 2lace in the hands of a nonresident We en-
oorage immigration, and offer the highest 10
:rc2n9nt to the capitalist to make Virginia his
>c:oc. We ere in favor of every Virginia far
&c: reducing the dimensions Of an estate too
17gieldy to be skillfully managed, but VIC wish
10, &c retain Of the paternal acres enough to
lake aim the controlling spirit Our affection
O. :uG interest in the Old Dominion depend
....9o> 'Tigmians ruling FIginia. To all
>c1cs5 men who wish to invest their capital in
Tjl'ginia, we would extend sincere and cordial
!alco.ne and the full protection Of our laws
"a niost sincerely and earnestly deprecate any
tempt 70 visit upon Northern men in cur
MIDST the bitter prejudice and sectional AMI
ncSities epgeuderel by four years Of civil strife,
,.2;' immigrants from the North, if they are
,o5 se9itious and fac.ious !aoatics, should be
most kindly and courteonSly tteated. 1t is full
,ir2s that every we'll meaning, industrious, hon
,S5 nam who comes 10 cast his fortunes liz Fir-
.,ioia should be welcomed with kindness and
orQislity. To him as citizen Ct the State
7e should extend our confidence aud respect.
5ut however terrible the extremity 10 which
e may be reduced by poverty, we SHOULD not
GiTcst ourselves of the power which the pos
session Of land gives us, un!esSi be to save our
;i1l;cs from the horrors of starvation. -
he Washington Chronicle, in double
ie&Ged' editorial article, so as to invite atten.
.ioa, charges the President Of the United States
nth bei,g an ''usurper' Of powers and prerog-
tires to which he is not entitled with en-
oioying agents Sin intimidating or bribing
Gta.c Legislatures" with working so as to de-
:ea; the assembling Of the Tennessee Lcgisla-
,vcc, CT 10 leave it without quorum with
pursuing q similar course IN North Carolina
End Arkansas; with being engaged in ICON
spiracy" to defeat the proposed Constitutional
amendment; with 'royally assuming and ty-
ranically exercising despotc authority" with
assuming the purple and declaring himself
the State aud with advocating policy
leading directly to ''REvokuTIoN 1t is very
evident from all this, that the Radicals are
pushing the way asaios: the President to ex-
t~enit;es, and are endea7o.ing to drive him
rom the rather defensive position he has hith-
acto assumed, If he is the the tyrant, usurper,
so2spirator, and briber thus represented may
&c rot look, next, Tor IMPEACHMENT? That
saorl3 follow, as q natural consequence
these are not mere political differences. The
charges so to the integrity, personal and official
@: inc Chief Executive officer OF the United
Gates, and they are made with purpose and
O. : purpose. What is that? Tine will de-
;e7nine. We presume, to conclude, that the
Washington Chronicle itself. is by this time,
,2cli pleased, that the days Of hastiles, military
prisons, and court ma.tials for reasonable words
&c Cow over. Sure, we are, that little more
.2a2 {; year ago, the suppression Of the press,
COZ; in the Old Capitol, Or worse still, would
asye followed such an article rs We have here
