which is gorged by the horde now preying
upon us with the Unsuitable appetites Of
the meanest Of parasites.
We can consider their aspersions calmly.
They think they have immunity from &C.
countability. Basing themselves upon the
black population, they believe that's they have
complete power over us, and look forward
to disqualifying all Of the white natives Of
Virginia from the right to hold Office as
guarantee for their being permanently
established in the public Offices to tax us at
will and eat out our substance. Never was
there 9 more impudent expectation, nor
never was impudent expectation entertained
by less worthy men. In the end it will
prove that never were men more justly
brought to retribution.
The traduction Of the true people Of Vir-
GINA by these creatures will occasion no
concern on the part Of the slandered. They
take it as compliment. But the good peo-
ME who receive the encomiums and the
sympathy from this source! this goes hard
with them That the worthy white peo-
p!e of this State who are compelled to labor
for their bread, and the true-hearted and
proud. spirited mechanic, are approached
in the hope that they could be seduced by
the crocodiles into their black sea will in
truth give to those worthy and invaluable
citizens infinite modification. We sin
cerely sympathize with them. We indig-
nantly spurn, on their behalf, the filthy ap-
proaches of the hypocritical seducer. These
people may not be the enemies of the
black man, but they are assuredly not the
enemies Of their own race. They are not
ready just now, by an act of unheard-of
treachery to their own race, to invoke upon
their own heads such ruin as could only
proceed from divine wrath
No, these are the tricks Of the crocodiles,
who operate from their black lake, in and
about which they must ever keep. There
are few people in Virginia who have not
now to work for their daily bread. 1t is 8
mockery to talk about aristocracy here now,
unless it is aristocratic to be virtuous and
to detest hypocrisy and villainy wherever
it appears. Wretches who affect to sympa-
thize with labor, yet whose whole study is
TO live without labor, and to plumber the
very people they revile and are endeavor-
ing to continue in chains and disabilities,
can never command the respect-nay, can
never be regarded with anything but detes-
tation by honest men, whether mechanics
and laborers or not. Let them 60 down
into their black lake. There they must
perish

FIGURING Mill. Again.

1t is very difficult 10 determine what
is to te The fate of the proposition to
eroc, a Touring mill, at this point. -
last Spring, some parties proposed the
erection OF a mill, and desired loan
of four thousand dollars to enable
them to do so. It was thought that
the money could be raised, but the
effort to do SO was prevented by what
seemed, on the part Of most, an ex-
orbitant and outrageous price asked by
the owner of the land, to be overhowcd.
a short time since a party proposed
to build a steam Touring mill, if he
could obtain the loan of about one
thousand dollars. For some reason or
other, cold water was thrown on this
scheme, and it seems as though it has
been ahand mod.
There is now another proposition,
of which, it may be, all the people are
not cognizant. A responsible party
stands ready to build Touring mill,
to be run by water, capable OF rum
ming two or three sets of burrs, if the
people of the town will pay the dam
ages of back water and overflow
This IS the most liberal offer yet made
and if the Toledoites do not close with
it at once, we shall expect them to be
deprived of mill for period OF time
that will not expire for three weeks
after doom's day.
We do not know the amount OF land
that will be overtiowed, but it cannot
be much, nor the damage Of such land,
very much. The proposition, we arc
convinced, is made in good faith, and
we desire to see 1t accepted.

Developments.

Agricultural Papers.

One OF the prominent farmers Of this
State sends to the State Register the
following short article, addressed to
his farmers, on the subject OF
agricultural papers, and the Importance
Of every tiller Of the soil taking at least
one reliable journal Of that kind. 1t
will be seen that he pays our State ag-
ricultural paper, the Homestead, the
credit Of being worthy and excellent,
All opinion we warmly endorse. Every
farmer in Iowa should be subscriber
to the paper which is laboring so con-
stantly for the advertisement Of his in
terests:
Brother Farmers and Frat Growers Of To-
Na:
Now that the hurry and hustle of
'corn pulling is drawn to close, the
cellars and granaries well stocked
with the uecessarics and luxuries OF lite;
now that the "vinc and the figtree'
have yielded us their burdens Of de-
locus fruits, ard the vines have been
carefully placed in winter quarters, but
only to rest and receive new strength
and vigor for the more glorious devel-
opment of other spring time, let us not
forget or neglect to provide the nee
essary food tor the mind, that the hus-
bands, the wives, the SONS and daugh-
ters may store up new ideas and use
full knowledge, that may be called in
rcquition when the pillow and the prun-
ing hook have not 30 much time to
read.
And how, I ask, can the same
amount of information, SO useful to
the farmer and the fruit-grower be OBJ
tanned at cost SO trifling, as to at
once subscribe for one or moro good
agricultural journal? Illinois has
several good papers devoted to the
interests of agriculture &c, and the
farmers of tina. State seem to appre-
ciatc The efforts made to promote their
welfare by giving hearty support to
their home papers.
The great aud growing State of To-
wa has but one agricultural paper
The Iowa Homestead-and as good
as the best We can make it still bet.
ter by giving it better support; and
now let us resolve not to be ''owned
or rum any longer by Illinois or any
other State. =.

Library Meeting.

Library Meeting.
We hope our readers will not forget
the call for a meeting of all the mem
bers of the Toledo Library Association,
to be held on the first Monday in Jan
uary next at the School House. There
will be business before the meeting in
which every member is, or ought to be,
interested.
The Association is in debt to the ex-
tent of about thirty dollars. 1t is de-
signed to take some steps toward re-
moving this load from the Library, and
to add more books to the library; we
do not know what Is proposed TO be
done-perhaps nothing is yet definitely
proposed. Whether any one has, or
has not, proposed any measure to meet
the requirements OF the library, we
have proposal to make, and it is this:
Organize a festival for the benefit of
the library, The Toledo,tes have
been SO long without a festival or
public gathering of any kindred char
acter that they would rush to it with
enthusiasm and their money would
flow freely. Over one hundred dollars
could easily be raised in Festival,
over and above enough to place the Ii
brary clear of debt. This hundred
dollars, if judiciously expended, would
add immensely to the attractiveness
and usefulness of that institution. We
make this suggestion in earnestness
and intend to press it from now until
the adjournment of the meeting, Janu-
ary 3D., 1870. Who will second our
motion?
