Staunton, an agency for the sale of States and
for the reception of orders for roofing and other
purposes for which States are used.

Slate Roofs overany other material consist in the
greater durability, comparative exemption from
fire, saving ofinsnrance charges atan outlay far

clares, will do these things:
It will stop $3.50, 900, 900 year in in

sively to pay.
It will put an end to the whole internal
revenue income tax system, with its immense
army Of detectives, pimps, spies and inform
ers, that are now eating out the peoples
substance.
It will put upon the income tax duplicate
So, 900 900, 600 that is now exempt from
State and local taxation, and which hereaf-
ter would pay its proper share Of the burdens
of Government This alone would save to
the people between SIS, 100000 and $780,
100000 a year.
Tt would drive into business enterprises

so doing, in its results, add to the general
wealth of the country.

In the counties Of West Virginia, which

the stock of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail
road, it has been carried almost unanimous
ly. Kentucky & Ohio are waking up to the
necessity Of its completion and extension
further west A large meeting was held in
Catlettsburg, KY. last month and speeches
were made by prominent gentlemen from
Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, from
which we CLEAN the idea that tremendous
effort will be made to run several lines Of
Railway to meet the Chesapeake & Ohio at
its terminus 1t was resolved to build the
Lexington and Big Sandy railroad at once,
90 that on the completion of the Chesapeake
& Ohio there will be direct communication
between Lexington, KY and Norfolk, Va.
The people of West Virginia, Kentucky and
Ohio are up and doing. The only sluggards
are the people Of Virginia, who seem 10th
to touch the subject, while they confess that
by building railroads and improving the fa-
cilities for communication with distant local
tiles, Virginia's greatest prosperity can alone
be secured. Let them arouse themselves
and do their duty and Virginia will have no
compeer in prosperity in this country.

! EFrom the Alexandria Gazette. I

We share in, and unite in, none of the
harsh remarks we sometimes see in reference
to the Democratic party, made by some of
those, who, in former days, were politically
opposed to that party-and we are entitled
to speak, from a uniform and consistent
course while the two great parties, Wing
and Democratic, were in antagonism. We
contended fairly against most Of the measures
and principles Of the Democratic party, up
to the time when War came, and closed the
"books Of party" in the Southland our
convictions were honest, and acted on in that
spirit, from first to last. Since the war there
has been, fortunately and happily, in the
South, no such parties known as formerly
divided the pcople:-bye cones have been bye
cones the issues once prominent are all
dead and buried and our citizens fraternize,
with a hearty and generous oblivion Of all
past party differences, on the same '"plat-
FORM the preservation Of all the rights and
liberties that we can secure for the whole
country, and for the Southern people, and
manly, legal opposition to the plans, purpo-
ses, and designs of the Ultra Radicals, in SO
far as they 60 to the oppression, injury, and
utter prostration and ultimate ruin of the
Southern States. And on this ''platform"
we still stand. We have no denunciation to
make against the Democratic party at the
North and in the West Why should we
have? Granting as many errors as you
please-admitting that it has fallen into
mistakes, during and since the war-who
else as party for six years past, have made
even show Of resistance to unconstitutional
legislation, who else have contended for right
and justice in public matters. who else have
striven to maintain the principles of the old
constitution, who else have sought to protect
the rights and interests of the Southern peo-
pie, and to preserve them from oppression,
but the Democrats of the North and West
To their honor, be it said, that they have
been aided by many Of the old line Wings,
who, without party organization, or party
leaders, have yet nobly united with their for
mer political opponents in endeavoring to
stay the progress of Radical and destructive
measures, and to prevent the continued as
tendency Of ultra men and partizan dema-
gogues We see in all this, nothing that
can or ought to revive old party feelings
but everything to induce future concord, and
firm friendship between Conservatives Wings
and Democrats
