Every Union man in the First Senatorial
District will vote, at the coming election, fol
James w. Corey. l.. L. B.. the one armed
Union soldier, OF Herndon, Fairfax county, To-
State Senator.
There are no legal, formal, nor regular
nominees before the people. Neither has there
been, since the war, legal, formal, nor regu
larry constituted Senatorial Convention In and
for the First Senatorial District, and there Is
no substantial evidence in existence that can OF
will contradict these assertions.
"Mr Corey adopted Nirgi nia, as his future
home. in lsGl when such a thing as running
for office was not thought OF by him nor his
friends He il graduate of one OF the first
law schools Ia the country, and is In other re-
sptcts eminently qualified for egisl ator:
"'Oiher things being equal, the Union
soldier should have the preference in Milling
positions OF honor and trIst at the disposal OF
the people, aud the men who We're trusted with
the destinies OF the country from 1851 to 1863,
GIN now be uu,ted in healing the wounds OF
both the nation and the State.
In order that people may live happy and
prosper, it is essential that each and every
member Of society should be allowed the great
est possible latituI: in the enjoyment OF their
natural aud absolute rights, aud should never
be restrained except when the welfare OF the
community demands it.
The sovereign power 10 republic abldes IN
the people, and that which tends to abildge
the sovereignty ot the people, without their
consent, Is tyranny and "A pcrversion OF their
liberties
when laws become tyranuical and oppres-
tive, the true aud most ctftctuIl method to alb
ropatc them, is to dig out the poisonous roots
and thereby cause perfect cure.
"rhe fifteenth amendment 10 the Federal
Constitution plucks out Of existence thousands
of unjust theories and dogmas by striking at
their very roots, restores peace, harmony, and
stability TO the nation, destroys political ami
mostly between sections, eIadicates personal
prejudiccs, and is one OF tho stepping stones to
universal education, political equality, and civil
liberty alike to all races OF men.
The ratification OF the proposed State Con
stitutiOn Will increase our agricultural, com
merca, and mineral resources more than three
iold In the next five years, induce thousands q
honest and industrious farmers, mechanics, ia
manufacturers to immigratc INFO cur State
every year from Europe and the Northern
States, and will, in a few years, make Virginia

The Coal TRADE-ALExANDRIA THE SHIP
PING PORT 1t will have been seen from the
statement published 10 Yesterdays Gazette.
that the total shipments OF coal from George
town, where there are ire agencies, were, for
the past month Is, S3l tons, Of which ,, lj3
tons were shipped last week.
During the month Of April there were ship
ped by the t,cO agencies here, within very
small fraction OF l., 600 tons, and last week,
the American Company alone shipped 4,S9l
tons or more than double the quantity ship
ped from Georgetown By all the agencies there
combined.
Il may be further stated that with one single
exception, every vessel that came up the river
last week without orders was taken up and
loaded here, and that two or three Of the YES
SEES that went to Georgetown, previously, for
coal, could not take in full cargoes in conse-
q1ence OF shallow water.
1t has been stated that the channel to
Georgetown, was to be dredged, but from re-
liable sources We learn that there has been only
$500 appropriated for the purpose, when the
cost will approximate $4,000
