Tt requires no research, to discover why II /,
that this agency becomes such moral power,
Public opinion-the force which directs and
controls, especially in the United States-is
the aggregate of individual opinion and indi.
vidual opinion Is shaped by the influence 81
mind on mind. Ordinarily the opportpn;tv
which one mind has to influence other minds
must be limited to that small circle In which
his example may be seen or his words heard.
The mighty agency of the press-more won
derful than the lamp of Aladdin-c comes II, 10

and to echo and re-echo them through tbolu,s-
and tens of thousands circles and as It were tn
bring the influence of one intelligence to hear
on multitudes widely separated The most
popular orator rarely ever has the Opportunity
ofreaching the ears of five thousand persons.
while the conductor of the smallest local new :
paper weekly addresses larger audience. and
the managers of several of the newspaners
even of our own State, audiences ten times al
large. Horace Greeley daily speaks to an an .
dience of two hundred thousand, and weeiely
] to one Of nearly o million. The audiences r.
which the great orators of antiquitv-DAmos,
themes and Cicero-spoke with such maiest;c
power, sink into insignificanee when com nared
with those " hich you, gentlemen Of the pre 4.

grand ends, to congregations to which White

The influence of mind on mind ia Increased
in proportion to opportunities given for bring
ing them in contact A single presentation of
great truth or grand principle too often fails
to leave its impress, or If it makes any irppres-
sion, too frequently soon fades away. It il for
this reason that the opportunity afforded The
press to iterate and reiterate facts and arru-
ments in every possible form before snbstan-
tally the same large audiences, gives an ad-
vantage which no other agency possesses; and
In connection with its unchallenged suprema.

indulgence and facts on which all opinions

In the front rank Of powers that shape the des.
tiny of the Republic. No welcoming shouts

unity and patriotism, to religious and civil
freedom, to civilization and learning, to the
arts and sciences, and in short to everything
which can develop man and elevate him to

B&. Our article on the =" ire

EsA- Our article on the I" IRE
pressibie negro" , furnished our
friend Of the 7 .>ablican a suhjece
for another essay. We now write
at the eleventh hour, and have ncith-
er timo nor space for all elaborate re-
joindcr. The sum and substance
Of ls article is, that we Democrats
talk, 1st, too much, and I'd, too
dogmatically about "niggcr, niggcr,
mig" Now, as to the first charge,
we would ask who is to blame,
when the "eternal niger" is made
by the. Radicals to vcx US like one
of the ten plaques of Egypt. To
bid us now hold our peace is only
adding insult to injury. Second,
as to the future status of the negro,
We think it requires no gift of
prcsciencc to say this much-that
the God Of nature never designed
him for a legislator. But, says
the Republican let him alone, and
he will find his own level. That is
just what the Radicals will not do
whilst we Democrats ure trying to
aid tho uis n,ed1catrir nature aid ma
ture in throwing off the incubus.

SUCCESS EXTRAORDINARY. - Tile
Piedmont Sill Heads The Lisi.-Thc
business Of this Virginia enterprise
exhibits tho most remarkable success
Of this age, and the caution and pru-
dcnce it exhibits in all departments
proclaims its success to be permanent.
In one single day last week this com

nine policies, carrying siC5,ooo OF
risks, on which the premiums were
over $40, five of the policies we're
single payments or paid up, on which
the cash premium was over $4,000.
We think this i,amcnso business, in
ono day, could safely be staked
against any company on this CONT
nent, and certainly far exceeds any
company Of it's age. Verify "Thc
Piedmont" may properly be cbristen-
