Tomorrow the Registration of the voters

Tomorrow the Registration of the voters
in Districts No. and 2, Staunton, and No.
3, Middlebrook, will cen M nee and be con-
tinued in these Districts until the Goth inst.
We have, heretofore, endeayorea to place
before our people the necessity of their
promptly registering, one and all We
again appeal to them to come forward and
register, to 'sthe gerry last man." Many
do not take the papers and can not therefore
form correct conclusions on this subject,
while many express great Discrimination to
Register. 1t is therefore not only impera-
lively our duty to register, but also to pre-
vail uponethe uninforaled and disinclined to
do so.
The Enquirer pitbily and pointedfy OF
this subject says:
'sLet no man decline to register because
he may, perchance, not get have mace up
his mind to vote in the elections that may be
ordered. The act of registering will not
require him to vote: but it will secure him
the option Of voting or not, as may seem ex-
pedient in the future. To refuse to register
is to gag himself hereafter. whether he may
then wish to vote Or not. No man is wise
enough. in these times to know positively
what itsmay be best to do months ahead
Hence it would be very foolish to lose the
liberty Of choice hereafter, by refusing to
register now.
While those who are allowed registry,
owe it as duty to themselves and the Com
monwealth, to avail themselves of the privi-
lege, they also owe it as peculiar duty to
those of their fellow citizens who are exclu-
ded. AS one of this latter class, we call
upon those who can vote, to take care of us
too Disappoint the miserable conspiracy
of hungry demagogues and refuse party
hacks, who are seeking to fasten themselves
like vampires on the State, to suck out it's
life, and destroy both you and us
1t will be terrible evil, from tho effects
of which it will take many years to recover,
to let the conduct of our State affairs pass
into the hands of the utterly incompetent
and venal men who are now seeking it, for
what they hope to make out Of it"
We would desire our readers to weigh we'll
the subject and act from reason, rather than
passion and prejudice and they will see that
the course we have endeavored to point out
to them is the right one,
Let each and all, who can, then do their
duty in this darkest hour of Virginia's his
tory, and come forward like men who have
something still to live and strive for and
register themselves as voters. In no other
way can they fully perform the duty they
owe to them selves, to their disfranchised fell
low Southrons, to their State and to poster
ity.

The Alexandria Gazette gives report of
the proceedings of the Immigration Conven-
ton recently held in that city, from which
we learn that series of resolutions were
passed urging upon Landholders the
great advantage to themselves of subdivi-
ding their lands into such sized parts as will
meet the demands of those who would de-
sire to settle among us and have not the
means to buy and cultivate large tracts, and
recommending the establishment of Agencies
in the leading cities of this and foreign coun-
tries, with the belief that the proper infor-
nation can thus be better spread before the
people, and that she advantages which Virgin
offers, thus made. known, will suffice to draw
into our State reliable xosantary iuamigra
ton adequate to our need.
1t is Generally conceded thsss our tracts Of
land are too large and yet there is q great
indisposition among our people to divide up
and sell in smaller tracts, although they may
desire to sell the whole. This course may
induce some little immigration, but not of a
character to do great deal of good. Vir-
ginia has many advantages over the far
West, but with her indisposition to sell in
tracts suited to the demands of immigrants,
the so and 100 acre tracts will continue to car
ry immigration in that direction. To bene-
fit ourselves and the State we must be viii
ling to divide our lands and sell in small
tracts suited to the demand, yet though sat
isfed of this it will require time to start our
people on this progressive track.
There is one thing however which this
convention recommends, which WE think is
practicable. that is, the formation Of an Or
ganization to be called the Virginia Land
Company" to receive subscriptions Of land
at fair valuation, to be disposed of to i'm
migrants as may be required. There would
be sufficient subscriptions Of land, from ev-
cry locality in the State, to show the practi-
cal advantages Of selling in small parcels, to
suit the demands of settlers, and the idea
would thus be practically initiated, which is
all that is needed.
We trust therefore that such company
may be organized to foster, by positive in
ducements, healthy immigration which we
so much need, but which, by our present
course, we are daily repelling from u.s.

GERR1r SMITH ON CoNFIscAT1oN.-We re-
marked some time ago that if con6scation
should be commenced in the South it would
end in the North This view of the matter
is taken by Gerrit Smith, who, in letter
just published, says:
.Con6scation once entered upon, it will
be difficult, if not impossible, to set limits to
the spread of it's demoraizing power. The
spirit Of lawless greed engendered by con-
fscation will no more stop at State or other
Inns than will the flames of prairie fire at
the word of command. Let there be con6s-
cation in the South for the benefit of these,
Mr.. Stevens loyal losers, and also for the
benefit Of the poor blacks, as he also propo
ses, and very soon, under its debauching in
fuence; immense numbers at the North will
be clamoring in the name Of 'Agrarianism,
Equalization, and other taking names, for
their neighbours possessions. And these rich
possessions, it must be remembered, will
kindle the spirit Of robbery, as can none of
the poor possessions of the desolated South. !"

Senator Wade, who was made President
pro tem of the Senate with direct reference
to the occupation of President Johnson's po-
sition, in the event of his impeachment, then
deemed probable, and who is, therefore, to
be considered leader in the Radical ranks,
emitted the following, short time since, at
Lawrence, Kansas:
"He said that the shadow of another strug-
gle was over us. that Congress, which had
done SO much for the slave, cannot quietly
regard the terrible distinction which exists
between the laborer and employer. Prop
erty is not fairly divided, and more equal
distribution must be wrought out. If your
dull heads, he said, can't understand this,
the women will, and canvassers upon the
eve of an election will have to tell the labor
ers what they will do for them"
The New York Times warns that "a war
Of property is to succeed a war upon slavery
aud that there must be an equal distribu-
ton not only Of lands but Of all property
ereryuhere." This is opening the eyes of the
people Of the North to the extravagances of
Radicalism, many Of whom are Withdrawing
their funds from business and sending them
abroad. The agrarianism Of this doctrine
must be its death knell, yet it requires such
extravagances to open the eyes Of Northern
people to the the unbridled license of Radi-
calism, which believes itself unconquerable
and which thus takes the path to its utter
destruction.
When the division of property is pro-
claimed by the Spokesman of the Radical
party, that party will cease to exist forever,
with no fame left behind save the diabolisms
it has enacted.
