MR. WILSON'S ADDRESS.

To the exclusion of other matters. we this
week publish an address to the voters of the
county, from Mr. L. WILLIS WILSON, who
Is announced as a conservative candidate for
the House of Delegates from Jefferson. We
want to see Mr.. Wilson elected, and bv way
Of aiding him in his struggle against the ia
naiIcal party that holds sway in this State.
we have given him the use of our columns to
fire shell into the radical camp. If this
shell should explode, we might have some
hope for our tax>ridden county, but we very
much fear our young friend is using non.
explosive fuse when he seeks to reach the m.
fe"s Of the county through the columns of
the Spirit IF .J5srson. That class of our
population known as voters, only read our pa
per to see what the editor has to saw abont
their raseality, and then they drop it as an
unclean thing They will hardly take the
time and trouble to read the lengthy address
oil Mr.. W., though 1t is eminently worthy of
their consideration. The only wav to reach
these whelps is to aim directly at some par
ticular meanncss, and knock the bulls eve
out of that, and they cut off on some other
track, where they think their dishonesty will
not be so easily assaied. Follow them up
aud d:slodge them, and they will dodge be,
hind some other good stealing point, and so
on until after awhile, the end of the rope will
be reached and they will swing off beautifully.
Mr.. Wilson's address is good one. well.
written, but lacks directness of aim and con-
sequent'y must be deficient in execution.

AS IT sHOULD BE.

We heartily congratulate the tax payers of
CharlestOwn township, upon the fact that the
Board of Education have concluded to reduce
the exOrbitant assessment which they had
levied for the support of the common schools
of the township, and have determined to re-
fund to those who have already paid their
school tax under this assessment. At meet.
log on Saturday last, an order to this effect
received the approval of the Board. We feel
a measure of pride individually, that the ar
ray of facts laid before the public aud the
board, through these columns, has led to this
result, and will in the end, be the means of
saving to the Taxpayers of the township. the
payment of nearly, if not quite. fur thousand
dollars. The members of the Board deserve
credit for the Promptness with which thew
have corrected an error into which they had
fallen, and We are glad to bear testimony to
this indication OF honesty of purpose in the
discharge of their official duties-onIy re-
gretting that their lack of information should
have led them into such an unfortunate di.
lemma.

HUNNICUTT ON THE ELBCFIoNg.

The unmitigited scoundrcl who leads the
now @or!0rn hope of radicaIism and negro
suffrage in Virginia is man of strong taitb
but corrupt principles. His rawlings over tho
result OF the recent elections are those Of a
tiend. who would destroy every thing and
every body that presents an obstacle to the
success OF his cherished policy. Huuuicu.t
Is type OF his party, except that he has moro
courage than M, 1t of its leaders. and is Iir,Is
oo'der IN the expression OF his feelings. Tn
