States politically and financially will stimu-
late emigration from Europe. The recent
war, and the present unsettled condition of
affairs, are causes operating in the same di-
rection. If we preserve the peace, if we
protect the national honor, if we provide
Tor general education, if we secure to
every citizen his constitutional rights, Eu-
rope must either accept Republican institu-
tons, or the best part of Europe will come
to America.
The civilization of slavery could not
Withstand the civilization of freedom, and
slavery fell. The civilization Of monarchies
and despotisms cannot withstand the influ-
ence Of regenerated America. We are
already so near the hundfedth anniversary
of American Independence that we can
welcome The coming Gay. 1t will not only
be heralded and celebrated by forty-live
millions Of American citizens, but by the
inhabitants of Frnce, Spain, Italy, United
Germany, and Great Britain.
We trust that some of them WI then be
living under the mild influence Of Republl-
can institutions, and that al, of them will
be subject 20 those ideas and principles
which prepare the way for Republican
institutions, and on which they must
ultimately rest.
In conclusion, my friends, I state in three
propositions what think most essential to
the welfare Of the country:
l. Provide for public education, and,
without fear, meet, discuss and settle every
question of business, labor and govern
ment.
2. Maintain the constitutional amend
ments, and secure legislation calculated
to make Che guarantees effective for all.
8. Preserve the public faith, as becomes
great nation which must answer to itself
and to the world, in every generation and
every age, for what it now does.

A LESSON FOR Us ALL. You remem-
Der the touching story Of the daughter of
Sir Robert Peel. Her father gave her, as a
birthday present, a gorgeous ridins-habit,
and went out with her on the same day for
an airing in the park. His heart swelled
with parental pride as he rode by her side.
Shortly afterward, she sickened and died
of typhus fever of the most malignant
type; and when inquiry was made as to
how she had caught the injection, it was
discovered that the habit, bought from
one of the London West End tradesmen,
had been made in miserable attic, where
the husband of the seamstress was lying i'll
of fever, and that it had been used by her
to cover him in his shiversng fits. Thus,
whether we will believe it OF not, the safety
of the highest is bound up with the condi-
tion-of the lowest; and, if we neglect theii
material, moral, and spiritual interests
there will come dreadful Nemesis tc
mark the Divine displeasure on our con-
duct, and we may perceive our guilt all toe
late, when the vast temple of our liberties
shapeless mass of wreck and rubbish lies

THE GRAND TYCOON sPEAKS-LET vIR-
GINA BE SILENT AND HEAR.

To meet the provisions of the infamous
iniquities of the Funding Bill, Raleigh T..
Daniel, the guiding star of Virginia Democ-
racy, in his speech accepting the nomina-
ton for the Legislature, said the people
must be TAXED.
We ask every Republican throughout
the State who reads what this "head CEN
tire" of. Democracy said, to take our paper
and ask his Democratic neighbor to read
and consider his position.
Let every taxpayer in the Valley and
Southwest know, that Raleigh 7. Daniel,
chief cook and bottle-washer of Virginia
Democracy, who ought to know that the
passage of this bill was obtained by dis
honest means, PLEDGES HIMSELF TO
THE POLICY OF GRINDING TO DEATH,
BY TAXATION, THE EPROPERTY-owNERs
OF VIRGINIA, TO SATISFY THE GREED
OF GAMBLERS AND JoBBERs. Tell them
that Daniel is the controlling spirit of his
party, and that however solemn the pledges
men may make in opposition to his policy,
that they must either obey HIS dictations,
or receive such abuse as the Enquirer of
this morning imposes upon the white voters
ofAugusta.
Such men may howl until their lungs ex-
plode, but the PEOPLE of Virginia will de-
clare, the 7th of November, in thunder
tones, against the iniquties of the Funding
Bill and its supporters.

as it is so applicable to the condition OF al-
fairs in Virginia, with one single e.ceGpti"s--
for which exception, we thank God-wc re-
publish it.

be seen by the colorel people. we copy
from it, for their benefit, in or,.er that a

The exception to which we refer is in the
word Radical" and in order TO make it
suit Virginia, we insert the word ''Demo-

For fear we may not be fully understood,
we give the language we would apply to
the condition of affairs in Virginia, and feel
satisfied our very honest cotemporary will
agree with us
''The State system Of common schools
is proving failure, for the reason that the
DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURES STOLE ALL

The THEATRE LAST NIGHT.-lt being
impossible for us to witness the perform
ance at the theatre last night, we transfer
to our columns the following compliment
tary notice from the Enquire, of this morn

We regretted our inability to be present,
as we were rather pledged to go, but "the

referring to the version of EAST Lynne"
prepared by Mr.. Tayleure, the Enquirer
says:
1t is far more emotional than the other, and
full of strong points, though lacking in intricacy
of plot and variesy of incident. The scene opens
in the parlor of Mr.. Carlyles residence, and is
not changed once in the th2ee acts. The two
children a.e good sized and rational babes, but
still quite "child-liae and bland,' and very pa
thetic in their ways and speeches. Mrs. Chan

she portrayed, and we have seldom seen grander
acting on any stage.
fThe audience almost rose to her in several OF
the most startling and thrilling outbursts, while
in no instance did she oersrip the modesty of ma
ture. 1t was certainly a most finished and ele,
CANT piece of acting; and as 1t is to be repeated
this evening, we trust that fIller house will re-
ward the efforts of this most deserving aud tai
ented lady. The children We're excellently per
sonated by Miss Mary Arlington and Miss Lucy

the elegant setting of the stage We have never

Almost Home-To the Voters of Marshall Ward.
You are aware of the treatment of our
voters by the members of our party in the
City Council. We have applied for improve
ments of different kinds, and in nearly eve
ry instance they have not only been reject
ed, but we are insultingly told that it is un-
reasonable in us to make such application.
When we applied for park the idea ofsuch
thing for such Ward was absurd We
have been treated with very little either of
respect or consideration. We, fellow-citi-
zens, have the corrective within ourselves.
We have only to say to these gentlemen,
if we are of SO little consequence as to be
snubbed by you, we will either stay away
from the polls or'vote for Republicans who
will, at least, treat us with that respect and
consideration to which we are justly en-
titled. If this course is pursued by us
we will force the representatives IN the City
Council from Madison and Monroe wards
to do us justice.
That we have been almost entirely ig-

PORT STATIsTICs.--During September
two foreign and two American vessels en-
tered at the custom-house from foreign
ports, bringing dutiable merchandise valued
at sS 900, and merchandise exempt from
duty valued at $500.
During the same month two foreign and
two American vessels cleared for foreign
ports with assorted cargoes valued at
$780, 800.
The number of vessels entered coast
wise during September was 6S, with an sg-
gregate tonnage of 46,2l7; the number
cleared coast-wise 90, with an aggregate
tonnage of PAP.
For the quarter ending -30th of Septem-
Der, the duty paid on merchandise with
drawn from bonded warehouses amounted
to s13, 3,4l5.43. The duty collected from
this source was smaller than for any pre-
vious three months since the war closed.

POULTRY.-One of the features of our
approaching State Fair will be the "poultry

man has already bespoken sixteen coops, in
which he will show Dark Brahmas, LIGHT

Occurs, Grade Brahmas, Grade Houdans,
Games, White Face Black Spanish, Gold
Pencilled Seabrights, Silver-Pencilled Sea-
brights, Pencilled Brahmas, and Game
Bantams-thus making very handsome
exhibition of his own. To which will be
added coops from all sections Of the State,
and perhaps from Maryland, New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and Connecticut.
Sometime ago, while telling what he
knew about farming, Horace Greeley ex-
pressed the belief that if farmers would
eat more fried chicken and less fat hog
meat, they would be better off, mentally
and physically and we have more than
half notion the old philosopher was
right. At any rate, we hope to see the
chicken breed improved, so that if the adj
vice is adopted, the quality of the poultry
may be unexceptionable.

UNJUST DISCRIMINATORY Under the
above caption, we, day before yesterday,
indulged IN some structures upon the ac-
tions of certain officers of the public
schools, denouncing the discriminating be-
tween the white and colored scholars, for
restricting the latter to certain walk-ways
in going TO and from school.
Our article was based upon representa-
tions made by certain respectable colored
citizens whose children are in attendance
at one of these schools.
Since then we have interviewed both SUI
perintendent Bnford and DR.. Manly, prin-
.cipal of the Colored Normal school, from
whom we learn the following facts
In all well regulated public schools, to
avoid confusion and annoyance to the neigh
borhood, the scholars are instructed to
confine themselves TO certain walk-ways,
and to come and 60 peaceably and quietly,
until they reach such points most conven-
lent for them to separate.
In the school referred to, there are be-
tween eight hundred and thousand
the rest colored.
THEyER SAME RULES ARE APPLIED
TO THE WHITES AS TO THE BLACKS,
which relieves the teachers entirely from
the charge of discrimination.
Without the adoption of some such regu-
lation, confusion and difficulties would
arise, rendering the whole system un-
manageable; and we trust our colored
friends will see the necessity Of such regu-
lations being enforced, and will not imagine
or believe there is any intention to do them
injustice on the part of these officers.
| We make the correction with pleasure,
and trust this article will be as universally
read as was our first upon the subject.
