The First Negro Nominee.

The Republican Convention of Louisiana
on Tuesday nominated +. +. DUMAS (negro),
for Lieutenant Governor of the State. He
afterwards declined on the ground that the
nomination was without his consent, and
OSCAR j. DUNN (negro), of New Orleans,
was nominated in his stead. This is the
first nomination yet made Of negro for
any of the Offices of higher dignity in the
State. 1t is only the beginning. The
example will be followed, and the custom
will become quite common in the States
where negroes mostly prevail. The negro
will, indeed, soon conceive great con-
tempt for the "mean white" Radical who
has been leading him, and, first taking the
Offices to himself, kick the said "mean
white . overheard. Being overheard,
g mean white" will be for time perplexed
by the situation, but viii ultimately take
up arms against the negro for being an
ungrateful scamp-not at all approaching

immigration to Virginia.

The State Of Virginia is to profit from
two currents of immigration-one from the
North and one from the South. The lat
ter will be composed almost entirely OF
her own children-her own flesh and blood.
They will be heartily welcome to their old
homes and the homes of their fathers, and
will no doubt devote their energies, heart
and soul, to the restoration of the beloved
old State to prosperity and happiness.
There is no better specimen Of man on
earth than the Virginian. In all the new
Territories, while their communities were
being formed and assuming the shape and
order of bodies-politic, Virginians have
taken the lead and performed the most i'm
portant services. The great bulk of those
who emigrated from their State We're
driven off by the Institution of slavery,
which rooted fast the negro to the soil and
drove off the rising generation of whites,
for the want Of occupation at home, to seek
employment in distant lands. The return
of these long absent people will be graft
flying event. They will do more than any
other class of people to retrieve the for
tunes of their mother State.
1t is impossible that the better class of
whites-those Of spirit and energy to make
them useful citizens-can remain in COM
mu mites where negroes are largely pre-
dominant. Their government will be in
tolerant; and the ruling power at Wash
ington is determined that they shall govern
where they are in numerical ascendancy.
uayti tells the story. And even though
those in the South may not altogether imi-
tate that country, their policy cannot be
favorable to order. or prosperous indus
try. So, unless by some providential in
terpostion that may arrest the Radical
policy, many parts Of the Gulf States will
be abandoned to negroes. From these
will come back to the Border the unhappy
citizens who have in former years gone to
those Inflated localities.
The share Of Virginia from this return
ing tide of population must be large and
of eminent advantage to her general
welfare. On the other hand, we may an
ticipate from the North 9 most valuable
influx of people. The rich mineral re-
sources Of the State, its water-power and
its fine lands, are too tempting to be neg
lected by the capitalists and enterprising
people of even New England. They will
come ir large numbers. They will bring
capital, they will bring skill, they will
bring labor. All greatly needed here; all
destined to find in Virginia richer re-
ward than is held out from any other part
of this continent. Nor is there any pre-
judices against these people here. They
will be cordially received in spite Of
their peculiarities. We know their value
and their merits. Their foibles will be sooI
modified under the genial and gentle
influence of the Virginia sun and the Viz
ginia atmosphere.
Not to speak of foreign immigration
these two sources of increase in energy ane
means are destined to work great revo
luton in Virginia; and we shall soon be
gin to experience the results of their In
