When HUMPHREYS stole march on
Zion, and changed the venue to the CAPT
toll, he did u smart thing. He got rid Of
the fcrocious religious mob that it is so hard
to stand against. The hero of Ebcnczcr,
too was out of the way, some how or other ;
for LINDSEY, either false or tight, when
the drum beat at dead of night " wouldn't
or couldn't come to the rescue of the ticket
he sworc to defend at all hazards. The fox
carried off the prey from the lions den.
HUMPHREYS tore the ticket to pieces, while
LINDSEY was delinquent and his horn as
silent as death.
But Ebenezcr wouldn't take this quietly ;
so, when the battle was lost and won, she
roarcd like o lioncss dcspoiled of her cubs.
LINDSEY, too, howlcd; but he counsclled
submission. We are afraid LINDSEY is be-
coming "scurvy politician" and is learn
ing the art of assimilation. Why was he
away when HUMPHREYS pitched mis- friends
overheard and why does he counsel sub
mission when the deed is done?
HUMPHREYS is certainly the victor, and
may laugh ut Ebenezer's rage. Yet HUM
rHREYs would not vote the Radical ticket in
I'll because ii had negroes upon it. Alas
the colored people have taken strange mas
tcrs to themselves.

Washington last week to obtain additional
speakers for the canvass in this State on

announced. WELLS and the two or three
who have had the resolution to stand by
him have been so mauled that it is no Won
der they are anxious for somebody to come
in and share the blows with them. But
this only increases the sport for our orators
who are SO inspired with holy zeal Tor

that there is fresh game in the field has ex-

PreGYureS.


We all know Tcnnesscc-and how Tennes-
see has suffcred-how she has been s"ih-
dled--how she has been opprcssco--ho i'''
debt has been swollcn-how her money hhS
hcen souandered-how negro militin has
been chartered upon quiet communities
how those communities have been INSURED
and ontraccd-and how ali these things have
GROWN ont of the proscriptivcncss OF ultra
southern radicalism, with its infamous m
s.r,men.s of test-oaths and disfranchise-
mcnts.
Now, We behold in these things the fate OF
Virginia should the WELLS proscr1ptFc
party-that combination Of knavery ana
barbarism-triumph here. Wckncw enough
Of Tennessee, but our sense of its calaml-
tics has been cnliycncd by conversation
with worthy gcntlcman-a native OF Vlr-
rinia-gho has lived for more than forty
wears in Tennessee. The debt of that State
has been increased since the war from
about SIS, 100000 to S35,00o,000. The
school fund of about 100000 has been
souandcrcd. and some $500, 900 in coin that
belonged to the Bank of Tennessee, and was
in the possession of the Executive Depart
ment Of the State, has gone the way OF lost
things.
Corruption, tyranny, brutality, and faith
Icssness, have had unobstructcd sway IN
that State. Bonds have been created ana
divided amongst railroads; the peoplc@'TcS
saddlcd with the interest while new ofhces
are originated, and the revenue squandered
to maintain partisans. The ruling party
make education its chefest measure OF
public policy. Yet the large fund accumu-
lated for that purpose is not sacred enough
to be secured from their plundering, and 1t,
too, disappears like the mist before the sun.
This is n PRECIPITATION of the fate OF
this Virginia should she fall under the mis-
rule of the same class, actuated by the
same motives, controlled by the same in
gtincts, that have for four years made Ten
ncssee hell upon earth. To such depth
of prostration and misery has that unhappy
State been brought that a large portion OF
the party whose misrule had produced that
result filled with horror at what they had
done, have, as our readers know, raised the
banner of opposition 10 prescription and
tyranny, and arc now carrying on cam
paign against their late companions in mis-
government which is rs heated and earn |
est as that about to terminate in Virginia.
Who can imagine the misery of the pco-
pic OF that once happy and hourishing
State and who can foretell the sorrows Of
the people of Virginia should she have to
pass through the same dreadful ordeal.

The PROSPECT.

The greatly increased force OF the only
reliable governing clement in this State
rcfreshcs and elates the spirit OF every
rue Virrinian-cvcry true friend of the
oeacc, order, and prosperity Of the nation.
We feel that VIC arc to have enlightened
wise, and orderly government, which, like
the gentle rain from Heaven, will give life
and vicor TO all the interests and energies
If the land. WELLS and his leeches would
suck the blood of the State until 1t ls
exhausted and helpless. The ignorance
and incompetency with which he would
food the public places would destroy the
Lightly and order of State, and bring hope
less ruin upon the people.
But the bright prospect before us is go
cheering, so delightful We arc passing
through the dark valley, and arc nearly
out of it. The sunshine, the green fields
before us, gladden. our eyes, and we are
forgetting our troubles.
We shall have, indeed, order, and law, and
peace, and prosperity. The immigrant will
come-the capitalist will come. Industry will
flourish, commerce be revived, manufacto-
ries be multiplicd; and the State will teem
with increase, and her power and weight in
the nation will grow with unsurpassed
rapidity.
Work. Work, friends. Sir days of labor,
and qcc shall haze q NEW CREATION, q NEW
HEAVEN, and q NEW EARTH, and the LIGHT
OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY WILL SHINE UPON
IS ALL.
