CULPEPER G. A., Feb. p. 1seo

CULPEPER @. H., Feb. 22. 1850
Political affairs are beginning to assume a
more interesting form of late. A new State
Convention has been called by the RepubIi-
cans for the purpose of making nominations
for State officers. The Republican party is
| stronger to-day than ever before since lis or
ganization in this State and is sure of a glo-
rious success in the coming election. When
that happy result IS accomplished we antici-
pate more prosperous state of affairs. Then
will energetic men loyal to the government
begin to pack their "Carpet Bags" (toith
greenbacks) for this beautiful climate and
country with its inexhaustible natural re-
sources.
have of late received several letters of in
quiry from Maine men, who desire to be in
formed as to the chances and opportunities
Tor business and investments in lands, and
also OF the sentiment of the people of the
South toward northern men and the effect of
the climate upon them, &c. In reply TO all
such persons as desi;e to know how matters
are in this State, have to say that Unionism
is fast becoming respectable, and our unre-
constructed friends are right glad to ask
Republican Congress to relieve their political
disabil tiles.
But our Union friends are desirous Of see
ing these late opponents of reconstruction
"bear fruits meet for repentance" before sign
ing any petitions for the removal of political
disabilities, and hence no cases will be con-
sidered unless recommended by the RepubIi-
can State Central and County Committee.
The feeling of the people of the South has
"toned down" remarkably since the election
of Gen. Grant, and Northern men are much
less abused for their political preferences, and
on account of their nativity. The Southern
people are gradually being educated up to the
idea that it is useless to wage war upon the
i-repressible Yankee and the poor unfortu-
nate negro. They begin to see that they
have been standing in their own light
Business, at this time, of al kinds, is very
dull, but we think after awhile it will be bet
ter. The land is good but the farmers have
too much of it, and consequently the larger
portion of the land is worn out and needs
strong, energetic Northern hands to make 1t
"bossom like the rose"
This is one of the most desirable sections
in Virginia. and would advise persons who
iutend to come here to do 50, as soon as possi-
bls, in order that they may make good selec-
tions in land and business before the country
gets too much filed up.

The democratic party for the last few years
have been too stiff necked, 100 uncomprom.
isingly proud, too high toned $50 to speak }
to conquer. Although they have been
cognizant all tSe time of the tricks of their
adversaries. in their stnded attempts to
seduce converts from the democratic ranks,
Notwithstanding they, the democrats, were
In minority, they have scorned such de-
vices and trusted solely and simply TO the
force OF argument ard the power Of reason.
But that they have made huge mistake on
this score, is evident from the facts Of his
tory. In our own State, the success of John
Conness. Geo. CoGlie Gorham, aud many
others Is proof positive, that so far as poiiti-
cal prosperity is concerned, earnest convic>
tlons must sometimes yield to the demands
OF political necessity.
While we concede to no one a closer ad-
hearence to our party creed, we, nevertheless,
admit that much Is to be gained by consider
ate Cancellation aud judicious compromise
On this point Mack the Washington cor.
respondent ofthe Cincinnati Enquirer makes
some sensible comments, in speating of the
election OF Scott as U. S. Senator from Penn
sylvalia. lie says:
" Mr. John Scott of Huntington, has been un-
animously elected Senator from Pennsylvania
vice Charles II Buckalew." The reader, uAtar.
ally enough, inquiries who is Mr.. John Scott
Well, I'll tell you who he is-and thereby hangs
n tale with moral to it. Mr. Scott Is a Penn,
sylvania politician, of small caliber, who never
before had aspirations beyond a seat in the State
Legislature. He is, however, one of those " life
long democrats " who are gradually monopoiiz,
ing the front ranks of the republican party, and
doing FAR more than the oldest of the original
republicans To give vital energy and force to
rhdicalism. The moral is this: That if the
democratic party would succeed, 1t must, in
some degree Mt least, follow the example OF its
enemies in this regard. 1t must liheralize the
terms OF admission to its ranks, and cease to be
close corporation. At present, all that is given

mission to vote the ticket. For the rest, he

nervous center before he he received, even
on probation aud after that, he must tarry with
the rear guard Tor m indefinite period"
The abDve, says the Day ton, (O) Ledger,
contains several grains of truth. A liberal
party gains many converts. If man is
h"nestly acting with the democratic party,
we never could see any reason why his claims
