THE NEW MOVEMENT.


Undisturbed by the clamor and ex-
element of those who oppose their eff
forts, the friends Of the movement in
augurated by the Committee of Nine

ly and without deviation. They find
that pacification is the road to restora-
ton and prosperity, They will not
stop to fight windmills or Shadows
They feel tina: they are right, and care
nothing for gibes and pasquinades =
Above fear and above reproach, they
know that their motives are hey
miscoEstruction, and thoy can afford to
disregard the fine-spun logic and flor
led rhetoric with which they are assail-
ed. In order to have peace and har-
mony in the State, they have long yelled
their better Judgements, to those of the
do-nothing, die In the last ditch school.
They feel that they can no longer fol-
low their leadership. Too much is at
stake. They have their own game to
play, and will play it quietly and firm
ly, and we may add, successfully. We
believe that before many days pass ov-
er their heads nine-tenths of the con-
servatives of Virginia will be enlisted

NEW BOOKS, &C.

We are indebted to our friend, DAN
B. LUCAS Esq, for q copy of The Wreath
of Byzantine, which has been so beauti-
fully printed and illustrated by KELLT
& PET of Baltimore. A prettier holi-
day or birth day present we have not
seen for many day. In lieu Of our
own incompetent criticism. VIC give that
OF Mrs. Margaret J. Preston, whose a
bility to decide upon the merits of any
poetical work none of our readers will
presume to question. She says:
Let us be in haste TO recognize, with
out waiting for opinions OF the press
from the North or elsewhere, true
Poem from the South; let us say that it
is real poetry, and risk our critical re-
pntltion on the reception it will meet
with. Yet not exactly on that: for
even should an unappreciative public
fail to lend an ear to it. we will still be
disposed to maintain against all COM
ers, that we cannot mistake the impulse
Of the divine afiiatus. We have enjoyed
it like draught of hydromel. II has
been brought out liz style just short OF
the c0pie de t,tye, by Kelly u Pet, the
Baltimore publishers, and as we believe
Mr., Lucas IS native Virginian, the
book commerds itseE to Hs asaltogether
Southern.
Mrs. Preston gives numerous cita-
lions to show the poets powers of YER
siflcation. We give two; the first of
which needs no communication.

hills

The second Mrs. Preston pronounces
the finest single verse in the whole col
lection. Here it is.
"Now, would that men were not more pure
And would NO ermine whittier were than
No paths more straight than those which Je-
No laws but those which He Himself hath
There were then, fewer saints, but more good
The hermits rarer, but more Christians

Our old and honored preceptor DR..
John s. Hart. Principal of the State

edition. DIR. h., has also sent us tho

Board of Trustees of the New Jersey

ADVERTISING,

The benefits to be derived from hb-
eral advertising, says the Washington
Times, are incalculable. The energy
and enterprise ola business man may
be m easured by mis- advertising. If he
be timld puerile, or hcsitating, he will
not adveI tise but on the contrary. Il
he be man of nerved purpose, and
manly faculties generally, he avails
himself Of every legitimate means to
advertise his business. He is not afraid
to invest In the columns of newspa-
per. aware thatthe inves.snents so made
Is sure to pay literally, Such men in-
varlably not only succeed, but make
their mark in lite.

are extravagant in their praises of the

expression, ave are now at liberty to
return to the first principles upon which
the Government was founded, and Sc
cure for all time the absolute equality Of
all men,
The absolute equality of al men is
the most absolute Idiotlsm that ever
emanated from a diseased brain or q
scoundrelly heart. Translated into
plain English, it means the absolute
rule and perpetuation OF radicalism,
which In turn means the absolute ruin
of North, South, East and West.
