The question Of parties is exercising some

The question Of parties is exercising some
of our contemporaries. While we are Of the
firm conviction that, in the course Of a few
years, the principles which gave life and
vigor to the Democratic party of the past
will loom up again, ard that old party maln-
tain its old ascendancy over the Republican
party, which was but a mushroom growth.
nourished by that powerful fertilizer fanati-
cism, yet we are not of the opinion that our
people, at present, need worry themselves
over political questions, further than those
which tend to promote our prosperity. When
we have attained the pecuniary prosperity
of the Eastern, Middle and Western States,
and when it ceases to be the necessity Of
every man in the South to provide for those
under his care by his ineessant labor, We
may have the time to devote, as Of yoro, to
politics. All the time We can spare at pres
ent must of necessity be devoted to regain
ing the old time prosperity Of our people,
With this We will have enough to do for
several years to come, and, whether we will
or not, must bide our time for the ascendan-
cy of those principles which claimed our
hearty support in the past, and which made
our system Of government the proud boast
Of nations and people, ere it descended into
the farce which characterizes it to-day. That
time will come, but now our endcavors must
be directed in a different line. Let us not
bubble about politics, but address ourselves
to completing and adding to our systems of
communication, developing the resources Of
our State and building up manufacturing
interests &c. These accomplished, we can
then afford to spend our time in the deus
sion of political questions but not until then,
for there is much to be done to make Vir-
ginia the equal of her sister States and if we
are wise we will not waste our time and ef-
forts on less fruitful objects. Let us not
divide ourselves on the question Of new par
ties, but stand united, as one man, in the
effort to secure the future welfare of our
beloved "Old Dominion"

PREslDENr.-The Washington dispatches of
the Boston Advertiser Of Thursday morning
contain the following statement:
''Thc readiness Of the President to avow
a change of opinion on public questions,
when satisfied that he is wrong, is shown by
what he now says about the reduction of
taxation. In his message last december he
took ground against the project for reduc-
ton, and held that we would do better to
continue our present policy for another year.
He has lately spoken on the subject in pri-
vate conversation, and says further study
and observation have convinced him that the
country needs and expects some reductions
The declaration leads to the conclusion that
he will assent to any measure of reasona-
BILE character that is passed by congress"
