The Republicans of Virginia,

We are glad to see that the Republicans
of Virginia are determined to let no faction
lists keep them from uniting together in
hearty support of the common cause, A
convention of the leading men Of both diyis-
ions has lately agreed upon basis of union'
and has issued the following platform of prin-
ciples, on which we have no doubt it will be
triumphant and successful. The statement of
doctrine is brief but quite explicit and salts
factory. 1t is as follows
|. An immediate enforcement of the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the National
Constitution, in letter and spirit, and the adop-
ton OF any other measures necessary to guarantee
universal Freedom of thought, speech and action
9 general and universal system OF public
education nt public expense, whenever such sys-
ten is not adopted and enforced by state Govern
ments
3. The Fifteenth Amendment having become a
mart of the Constitution OF the United states,
by which universal suffrage is secured 10 the
masses of our people, we declare IN favor OF uni
yersal amnesty, subject of course, to the legsla-
tion of Congress.
The encouragement of internal improve
ments by the State and nation, keeping IN view
the careful protection OF the interests ol the Peo'
ple from the encroachments OF glonQp0hes'
8. An immediate, honest and fall enforcement
of our new State Constitution in letter ana III
spirit
8. A hearty and generous support OF the ad
ministTation of President Grant, in It's foreign
domestic and financial policy, and Of thepolicy
the Congress of the United States.
We cordially invite all citizens favorable z
the above principles to cooperate with us IN th
future, whatever may have been our difference
in the past
A State Convention is to be held at Rich
mond on the 22d of December next, when !
is to be hoped, tho party will be found har
monious. There is no good reason why tn
factions should not now come together an
remain together

Thou, God, Seest Me.

There was a little Sunday school boy who
had gone out to place, and one Saturday his
master gave him sovereign among his money
by mistake for shilling Now the boy had
a battle about that sovereign.
o" The sovereign must 60 back to your mas
ter" says conscience it is not yours"
Your master gave it to you, says temp
tation. Keep it, Willie; perhaps it was
not mistake and if it was, it will never be
found out
Don't listen to temptation, Willie says
conscience "you know it lCas n mistake,
and that you have no right to the sovereign" "
" You are very poor" says temptation.
" Look at your clothes, Willie, how old they
are and this will buy new ones"
" You are wrong, Willie, to listen to what
temptation is saying Listen to what the BIZ
bic says, Willie " Resist the devil, and he
will fee from you, says conscience.
." say,Willie, you will be blockhead, says
temptation if you don't keep the sovereign"
at will be curse to you as long as you live, n
says conscience "ifyou do J.; and then there is
another world, Willie. Take it back at once, u
Nay, wait till tomorrow, says tempta-
tion "it will be time enough"
Whatsoever thy hand fndeth to do, do il
with thy might, says conscience, " Do it al
once, and you will have a quiet Sunday"
Poor Willie 1t was sad fight, but con.
science had something more to say yet.
"What did the teacher at the Sunday
school talk about last Sunday, Willie? What
was the text Thou, God, seest me, 4"
"Ob," cried Willie, "Thou, God, seest me ?
In few minutes, Willie was at his mas
ter's house. The master received the sove
reign back it leas a mistake. The master
said lite at the time, but soon after Willie
was placed in better situation, where con
fdsnce was required, and from which, By
good conduct, he rose to position of comfor
and respectability. He found that, even al
respects this world, honesty is the best policy
Let us always listen to conscience, and 70
member that God sees US. St. Paul says h
lived in "good conscience before God"
