The Virginia Election.

We regard tho triumph of the Con
servativcs in Virginia rs tho nucleus
about which future parties. with their
antagonis'ns, for several years to
como, will develop themselves.
There arc, indeed, no parties now in
America, tho triumph of tho Radicals
having for awhile dcstroyel all party
organizations. The issue on which
thay triumphcd. tho issue of the war
and tho character of reconstruction
has bcon settled. It is past. 1t is
dead. And now tho genius Of the
Southern white man for government,
his ominontly practical turn of mind,
has come to light once more, in this
Virginia election, in perfect blaze of
glory. In the Southerfi white race is
tho best hope of the national govern.
mont. They have THE eREArApvAN.

because TIE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF
LIBERTY ARE ALWAYS ON THEIR SIDE.

it's thepart.of. humility and wisdom

commence at once to do what VIC can.
r The cry will be raised, that I
advocate voluntary "ArFrLIATroN

perhaps, who throughout the State,
now sit on the Jury with negroes,
and who approved of the Columbia
(lS6s) Convention, which gavo up the
principle of an unmixcd whito mans
government; and by those of this
District, who, in one of tho largest of
District meetings, unanimously re-.
quested Captain S. B. Clowney, last

two negroes, as Commissioner Of

And, sir, it is the only answer that T
have to make to any simple sncer
without argument, from those who do
not realize the necessity to which tho
bayonet has reduced them.
Sir, the white minority must com.
bine with republican conservatives,
D'ihout regard 10 color, and in the
combination, give up chcerfully, for

Cling to the other side, which can, in
decd, be reached, but reached in no
other way. The ballot never will be

former slaves. Shall We always re-

COMMUEIC
Mr.. NHtor ::

In my last article, your typo made
me say, that in our sable class there
was sufficionoy of brain and muscle
for agricultural purposes. Now, it
should have read, Jrawn instead of
brain-that there was suificiencv Of
brawn and muscle.
EX, in one Of his articles, seems 70
think that it is doubtful if the white
man can be induced to cultivate the
lands of another in this country as an
h'reling; and in this, l am inclined to
think he is correct, and believe.
wherever it is tried, it will result in
dissatisfaction and disappointment to
all concerned. l here refer to the
employment of an hireling, where the
work performed is on o cotton nlanto.
tion, and is exacted from January to
January.
That condition of things which rem.
ders this necessity for the whlte man
to become a hireling has not yet been
reached in this country, nor is it de-
sirable at this time. But I believe
the time has arrived, and an urgent
necessity exist, to make the effort to
get the immigrant here, either rs an
honest punctual paying tenant, or as
an honorable efficient corpartner, un-
til by his industry he has accumulat-
ed the means whereby to become the
purchaser and proprietor of his own
farm.
Here, Mr.. Editor, many NAV saw.
that they neither want the one, nor
will they have the other. Let such
pause for while and view the present
state of affairs. The way things are
drifting | am inclined to think, un-
less change can he effected, 30 as to
correct the false ideas and notions
that are now progressively filling the
heads Of those who have, or are the
muscle required to carry on planta.
ton operations, tho former will be
forced upon us, and I am satisfied that
four.ffths of the acres in Fairfield
now under cultivation, are worked
under the partnership sy stem.
Where parties make an agricultural
venture, the one supplying capital and
material and the other muscle and Ia.
h"r, and agree to share the lesscs and
profits OF the venture upon an agreed
scale of division, they must be copart.
ners, and nothing else. Now the aues-
tion arises, if the one (tenantine) NAV
from the very existing state of affairs,
DC forced upon us, and the other is
already practiced, would it not bo
better, wiser, to make strenuous af-
forts to fill their places with the white
Immigrant, who will be white oiti.
