proved and signed the bill for the further Sc

SLAVERY THE MAIN SPR1Ne OF OUR Ma
rloNAI PRospER1rY Senator Sprague on
Friday made the following remarkable ad-
mission-remarkable as coming from a New
England Republican. He said:
"Tne main-springs Of our prosperity had
been slavery and foreign immigration. The
former had stimulated the growth of cot
ton and made it an American monopoly, and
SO had built up the manufacturing and COM
mercial and railroad interests of the North,
and these had in turn, ineitsd and grown up
on foreign immigration.
Again. He said:
1.-The object of the majority in Congress
seemed to be rather to perpetuate the exist
ence Of party than to promote the welfare
of the people; but no party could have his
support which did not make the prosperity
and contentment of the people its chief OBJ
ject. A party which failed in this failed in
the great purpose for which alone it had a
right to exist"

The Richmond State Journal says I'VE
understand from good authority that there is
a movement on foot by the dissatisfied
faction to induce President Grant to retain
Gen. Stoneman in command of this District.
Mr.. Edgar A. Allan, Of Prince Edward, is
now circulating petition for that purpose.
What's the use ? Gen. Stoneman has de-
capitated nearly all the old officers in the
State. and little remains of that kind to be
done. Another will but continue the de-
capitation and who cares, if his head has to
be cut off, whether it is done by the sword
of Candy or Stoneman.

Miss Van Lew of Richmond has been ap-
pointed by Gen. Grant and confirmed by the
Senate Postmistress of Richmond. Her
only recommendation seems to be that she
played CONSPICUOUS part, during the days Of
the Confederacy as traitoress and spy.
The Post Office may assist in paying for
some Of the slaves President Grant says she
lost, but all the Offices in his gift will not
serve to wipe out the infamy that will attach
to her name through this and coming gen.

The s'respectables' assert as one OF their
objects, 'the rescue of the Republican party
of the State from the control of designing
and selfish politicians" and thereby prevent
its inevitable defeat. We can not see what
possible business the Conservatives can have
in assisting the Republicans in this matter.
What we want is the defeat Of this same Re-
publican party. Stand aloof then fellow
conservatives and have nothing to do with
rescuing the Republicans from designing or
selfish men or from defeat. Stand as one
man and secure their defeat.

A Curious D1scovERY-A RIVER UNDER
THE Rocky MoUNTAINs.-Trubner's Record
contains curious letter from Mr.. George
Catlin, the celebrated American traveller ::
| Mr.. Catlin, the American ethnographist,
whose extensive travels have led him through
the widest and rudest scenery Of America,
has turned his attention for several years
past from the Indians to the rocks, and has
made in these studies voyages to South
America, to the Rocky mountains, the Andes
and the Antilles, the results Of which he is
preparing to publish in work entitled s'The
Lifted and subsidized Rocks of America, with
their Influences on the Atmospheric, Ocean
ic and Land Currents" And one of the
striking features of the book seems to be, to
quote his own words, "the discovery of a
river under the Rocky Mountains many
times larger than the Mississippi, its course
nearly twice the Mississippi's length, and
gliding through the clean and vast rocky
cellers of the upheaved mountains without
the losses by alluvial INSCRIPTIONS and solar
corporations which diminish valley rivers,
it takes along in its course the sinking
streams and lakes of the mountains of Mex
leo, and with them, perhaps, by a hundred
mouths in its deep bed, debouches unseen
into the Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mex
ico"

The Walker party press are insinuating
that if the Conservatives do not unite with
them, that the onus of the terrible result in
this State must fall upon u.s. We beg leave
to differ with these gentlemen. The Con-
servative party as organized under their ac-
cepted leaders is large and powerful party,
able, unless from detection, due to the Walk
er movement, to defeat not only the nomi-
nees of the Petersburg Convention but to
vote down the Underwood Constitution, and
thus save the State from the dire results all
fear. The Walker faction place their hopes
on the responsibility of their ticket and take
the Underwood Constitution modified slight
ly. They call upon the Conservative to re-
nounce their lifetime opinions-their mainte-
nance of time honored rights and leave q
large organization to unite with few disaf-
fected Republicans for a supposed expedien-
cy.
No gentlemen, you cry in vain for the
mountain to come to you, and when it is SO
easy to 60 to the mountain and thus save
yourselves from the food which must other
wise enguIph you, and you fail to do it, let
the onus rest on your own shoulders and
don't presume to shift it on others. Be
warned in time and save yourselves from the
threatening doom, while yet you may.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1869-03-26

calamity which we have predicted and which
your reasoning faculties must force you to
conclude is the only result which the Walker
party can attain.
The only safety to Virginia and Virgin
ians is to vote down the odious Underwood
Constitution with all its onerous conditions.
Then stand firm yc Conservatives. Let the
Walker and Wells faction split the Republi-
can party If they will. This will only add
greater strength to the Conservative ranks.
You will the easier be enabled to defeat the
Constitution. This will continue military
domination, but who will say that that is not
better, far, than the inevitable result we
have foreshadowed above?
