Virginia Interests-Our Trade.

Virginia Interests-Our Trade.
Frequently of late we have called the
attention Of the country trade to the ad-
vantages of sustaining the commerce of
this city and of Virginia cities generally.
We have referred to the enterprise of our
merchants and their preparations to ac-
commodate the country trade in manner
that will be satisfactory to country mer-
chants, naming a variety of branches In
which purchases could not be MADE al
lower rates in the northern cities than IN
this. This We repeat with perfect Know
ledge Of its truth.
When we consider the advantages that
ore IN 8ow TO the country from building
nm large cities and an extensive commerce
here in our State, we see that the country
trade might make some sacrifice to pro-
mote that object. But when no sacrifice
is demanded or needed, certainly there
should be no hesitation on the part OF
country merchants in bestowing their sup
port upon our local commerce and the
communities which conduct it.
1t is more than ever our interest and onl
duty to ourselves to foster our home trade
and manufactures. When, as in former
days, there were large estates cultivated
by slaves, all producing staple articles fo'
export, it was matter of no very great
importance 10 planters whether there
were large communities near them en-
ployed in commerce and manufactures oil
not. Indeed, large part of the agricul
tural community entertained 4 positive hos
tility to such assemblages Of men as "sore:
upon the body -politic,' and this sentiment
found expression in the Legislature by acts
unfayorablc TO their encouragement.
Under the new dispensation resulting
from the war, a very different state OF
things must take place. The whole system
of cultivation must be changed. The
farmer must reduce the area of his tillage,
and he must increase the variety of his
crops. To dispose Of the larger part OF
these he must have large markets near
him. where he can readily convert the
produce of his labor into money, after pay
ing small frcights for short transportation.
In this way the growing wealth of the
cities will be thrown out rapidly upon the
country, enriching its land and identifying
its appearance. This mutual assistance
of commerce and agriculture enhances the
prosperity of both, improves the value OF
property in town and country, and is ever
opening new means of investment to farmer
and merchant, and new fields of enterprise
for both.
TIE cultivation of this relation is now
indispensable to our prosperity and to the
increase of the wealth of the State.
the policy of sending all the profits o
agriculture away to distant cities be pur
sued, Virginia will be cursed with poverty
as is Ireland by the blighting effects o

strange scene Of tceming wealth in neigh

NFGROES TO BE ADMITTED INTO THE
| PHILADELPHIA CoNvESrIoN.-We have for
some time thought that the negroes of the
country ought to send delegates to the Radi-
cal Convention which is to be held in Phila-
dclphia early in next month; but having
had no authoritative intimation that they
would be admitted to seats, we refrained
from advising the Richmond negroes to
appoint representatives. We have now,
however, the assurance of HORACE GREE
LEY that the Union party is luxurious that
the loyal colored men should have voice
in its conventions" The last New York
Tribune says:
Erred Douglass, it is reported, has
been elected delegate from Rochester 10
the Loyal Southerners' Convention IN
Philadelphia, which will make no o3Jec-
ton to his color. Such recognition OF the
stake his race have in the country is III
noble contrast with the admission OF the
worst of rebels to the RandallConvention.
The Union party is perfectly willing-nay,
anxious-that the loyal colored men should
have voice in its conventions"
:. BENJAMIN WARDwELL, j. +. LEWIS, j..
NJ. Boris, and other signcrs of the call,
must not expect to be allowed to back out
from the Convention because negroes are
to be admitted. We admire GREELEr's
pluck and consistency. He is in earnest.
He may be fanatic, but he is not knave.
We sincerely desire to see the negroes put
this convention of southern "loyalists," or
"mcan whites and sneaks," as the World
calls them, to the test.

structcd according to law, should be COM
menced de MORO, under such conditions Is
will enable chem to get in at the earliest
practicable moment"
The Philadelphia platform sayst
"No State, or combination OF States
has the right to withdraw from the unioh'
or to exclude, through their action IN CON
gress or other'cise, any other sta'e vi
States from the Union"
In other words, they are In, ana do not
need to "get in." The Philadelphia plat
form denies that Congress has anything to
do with the question. Boris says they
must decide il. Boris says Congress must
prescribe conditions. The Philadelphia
Convention says Congress has no authority
to make conditions that Congress cam
not exclude the southern people on any
such prctext.
The comparison tending in the same d.
rcction might be extended but this will
do. And who believes from this that the
Philadelphia platform is Mr.. BoTTs's plat
form? OF course no one but dolt. Mr..
Boris, upon the assumption that the plat
| form is his, assumes that the southern men
acting with the Conservatives ate great
deal of dirt and the Enquirer ayers that
Mr.. BoTTs's letter contains some "hard
raps" on this matter of officiating. Now
we confess that had the South adopted
platform of Mr.. BoTTs's, it would have
eaten dirt; nay, been submerged in mire +;
but as it has done nothing Of the kind, his
satires are pointless. The Enquirer may
quote him, as he may, with equal point,
quote the Enquirer; but those who oc-
cupy the conservative and true ground
will only be guided on their way by these
extreme lights on either hand.
We're n ponderous and venerable hip
nono,amus TO rise out of the blacklist ooze
of the river Niger, and denounce with
his well known energy and force some
BODY, charging that somebody with having
wallowcd in mud and eaten dirt, VIC should
expect to see in the person assailed re-
markably clean individual, with snow.
white shirt and rutiles, and neat pin there
in. The old Hip Of the Niger considers
none clearly who are not fabricated with
the richest and most shiny ooze. Now,
our friend Mr.. BoTTs is manifcstly Of
Tended in this manner. Having como up
from the mire and oozc Of UNDERwoOD's
and MARTIN LlpsCoMB's convention at
Alexandria, he looks upon all clearly per-
sons as having been in the mud!
"Dcar SToFER" has communion with
Mr.. Boris through his better part-his
"bread and butter part-his cordially
and hospitality at home and there is very
good dread and butter" at Auburn. If
SrorER will only keep him to that, and
his grasses, and cattle, and horses, on
which he is always interesting, he will be
of great benefit to him. Beguilc him thus,
and don't let him get on platforms and his
political manias. If Mr.. Bolts will only
be ouiet with his friend at Auburn, that
pleasant abode may boast of "happy
family" resembling BARSuM's; but if he
breaks out he will, like the released men,
bcrs of the showman's "happy family"
return to his unfortunate habits and i'm
practicable schemcs-dong no good, and
much mischief. SToFER is good fellow,
and we know he'll do his best in his re-
spons,blc position.
