How Absurd!

Our forefathers of the revolution were certain
ly great asses when they incorporated into the
Declaration of Independence, the following silly
objections to the conduct Of the King of Great
Britain:
1. Keeping in the colonies in the time of
peace standing armies.
2. Rendering the military independent of and
superior to the civil power
3. Imposing taxes without allowing repre-
sentation.
4. The depriving the colonists of the benefit
Of trial by jury.
s.. For suspending Colonial Legislatures
6. In melting insurrection likely to result in
an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes
and conditions.
I. Abdicating government, by declaring us
out OF the protection of the mother country
8. Quartering large bodies of armed troops on
the colonists.
9. Sending into the colonies swarms of officers
to collect taxes and Cypress the colonists.
10: Refusing to pass proper laws for large
districts Of people unless they would relinquish
the right Of representation.
IL. Obstructing interfering with thejudiciary,
thus denying justice.
II. Interfering with legislative bodies, and
dissolving them for opposing with manly firm
ness invasions of the rights of the people
Is. Protecting military officers by mock trials,
for offences which they have committed against
the coonists.

The Growl that Precedes Overthrow.

The coming revolution at the North is pre-
saged by the threat that Democratic victories
there will result in ''severer measures under the
people of the South.
This threat indicates the fears of the party in
power They attempt to scare the South out
of her propriety by threats of confscation, and
array of all the terrors that Radical ignity
can invent or a vicious heart suggest; but we
have only to maintain our equanimity, patiently
awaiting the dawning of day!
The tide is rising in the North, and just as
the swell advances, more furious will grow the
pirate crew in charge Of the Nations vessel
and the louder their growls for vengeance upon
the disarmed passengers.
Those whom they cannot terrify into submis-
sion, they will seek to destroy. IF the South
will only turn over her State Governments into
Radical keeping, the hyena howl will cease, and
spend itself in low mutterings. If, however, the
the South stands by her manhood, we have still
an angry current to pass over. ere we reach that
peace, after which the Southern heart yearns.
Who will hesitate in making the choice? Pre-
sent delverance and future ignominy or, pres:
ent suffering and good conscience in all the
great future that lays before Fredericksburg

For the Snectator


Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me through the col
umns of your paper to call the attention of the
Presidents and Directors Of the Railroad Com
panies throughout the State to a matter which
has thus far been passed by unnoticed. The
General Assembly of the State Of Virginia APP
propriated $4,000 for the purpose procuring
Artificial Limbs for the soldiers who were 50
unfortunate as to loose limb in the late war.
Those who have thus lost limb are required,
under the order Of the Board appointed to at
tend to this matter, to report at the city OF
Richmond. Many Of the disabled soldiers Of
our State lost all their property during the war,
and under the present circumstances can not
raise the necessary funds to pay their Transport
tation to and from Richmond. IF the Presi-
dents and Directors of the different Railroad
lines of this State would furnish them free
transportation it would be doing them great
favor, and would not be putting themselves to
much inconvenience. Hoping that this may
secure the desirable result subscribe myself a
friend to the unfortunate. A. j. V.
The papers Of the State will please copy the
above.

Who Can Vote.

From an article in the Norfolk Virganiae un-
der this head we make the following extracts ::
The supplemental bill is part and parcel of
the original act subordinate to, and explanatory
of that act, as its name implies, and it is the
widest absurdity to suppose that any disability
can attach to electors which is not specifically
set forth and described in the section which pre-
scribes who shall and who shall not be competent
to vote.
We understand the meaning of this oath we
comprehend how, and why, and under what
malign influences it was shaped. It is a low
trick, quite worthy of the miserable creatures
whose craft suggested it. The object In view
was to bring electors within the scope OF the
Alexandria disfranchisement.
Nothing could be more absurd than this
nothing more untenable for mark you the yerg
ha0 under aclich the Shark party clam to DIS
ginia aoipes ont the Alexandria Constitution and
government at one stroke of the Parliamentary
sponge!
This is conclusive Every act, either OF pro-
scription or clemency, performed by that gov,
ernment has been annued, and it is as illogical
as it is absurd to maintain that any action taken
by the Assembly which gathered under that
government has anything to do with the action
to be taken in the present territorial condition
of Virginia
We are under no obligation, either in law OF
ethics, to regard the ''oath' as applying to dag
disability ao7sich IS not specifically stated 4" tht
| ldcs made By Congress to regulate the elections
| a0laich are to take place uder the recent acts
passed By that body. All who are not excluded
in terms have the right to vote. Let the press
OF Virginia examine this question: and at once
instruct their readers.

We have been shown letter from Mr.. f. E..
G. Lindsey to Maj J. Marshall McCue in refer
ence to the published notices declaring the Egyp-
tan corn he advertises to be humbug. He says
that his propositions to the public are in good
faith that he has entrusted the packing to others,
and that the mistakes may have been made in
that way that all his certificates recommending
the corn were published with the consent of the
parties, who are gentlemen of good standing in
society. He says that he is mot man in easy
circumstances, stated, but poor man and a
cripple with wife and two children to support"
He says that he was minister of the Gospel until
his health and mind became so much impaired
that he forced to give up his ministerial la
bors. Having published the card declaring his
corn humbug, we have published the above,
giving the main points of his letter, in justice to
Mr.. Lindsey. The public can judge for them
selves We know nothing more about it than
| has been published.
The Ciceronian Society, Capt R. Lambert in
the chair, met Friday night last at Christian
| Creek School-house, and discussed the following
| question ''Should bachelors be taxed for the
support of old maids or mott" 1t was decided in

READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS.

1t is the habit of great many who read news
papers, says the Spirit Of jefferson, to lay them
down after they have perused the reading matter
forgetting that there are frequently advertise
ments in which they are deeply interested. These
advertisements plainly indicate where bargains
may be had, and in the particular branches of
business of which they give notice, they point out
the PLACES where, and the parties of whom, the
best bargains are to be obtained. The man who
does not advertise freely that the public may be
advised of his business is either too penurous to
sell literally, or is Indifferent about transacting
business. When you find man ready to advertise
freely, and to pay promptly for it. you may set it
down as certainty that you have found one who
is prepared to offer you bargains in his particular
line, and that he is alive to the public interest as
well as to his own. Our columns, from week to
week, point the public to this class of men as I'M
erringly as the finger-hoard DIRECTS the uneer-
tain traveller the road he shall travel to reach his
destination Read for yourselves and deal with
those who advertise.

to fill the vacancy of Judge, occasioned by the
election of Polsley to Congress. We know of no
man who possesses more of the real necessary

ing of State convention, as called by the Leg
islature, and pledging the Radical party in the
State to oppose and destroy as revolutionary
usurpation any attempt to frame and enforce a
constitution admitting 'disloyal" persons to
the franchise, and excluding the loyal by
reason of race or color. kilograms were read
from General schenck and Senator Oreswell,
encouraging the movement, and promising the
sympathy and active cooperation of the Rad
