REUNION OF THE VIRGINIAs.

Newspapers of the State of Old
Virginia and West Virginia are agi-
tating the reunion of those two States
into the grand old Commonwealth
which was once the pride and glory
Of the Union. She was severed by the
Radical sword for political purposes,
but as the Old and New State are
now a unit for Democracy, the sep
aration has not been SO satisfactory to
the party who accomplished 1T, and 1t
is believed they will gladly acquiesce
in the desire for reunion. Demo
Gratis, of course, favor the unifcation
as they opposed the separation, and it
is thought that an early reunion will
be effected, and that the Old Com
monwealth which has given birth to
so many of the first statesmen and
warriors of our country will again as
sumo her position at the head of the
sisterhood Of the United States. So

Editor Democrat:
Allow me space in your columns to
call the attention of the clerks of the
various school districts in the county
to the Importance of having their re-
ports in the hands of the Superin-
tendent by the first Monday in
March, as those districts whose
clerks fail to comply with the above
provision of law will be deprived Of
their portion of the public funds for
the coming year. It is highly i'm
portant to make full reports, as then
the superintendent will be enabled
to make full report to the State
Board of Commissioners.
Inasmuch as but few districts are
supplied with copies of the school
law, / herewith submit the form for
reports: -
No. of legal voters.
No. Of persons over 4 and under %
years of age.
No. of male scholars.
No. Of female scholars.
No. of quarters of school taught.
Value of school house.

If every person who reads thil
will cut out the form and hand it x
the district clerk, then we can hav,
full reports from all the districts :
The clerks cannot be blamed if thei
reports are not full, as there are
probably, not more than q dozel

Ity, if we except those found in tn

CONGRESSIONAL.
A joint resolution was introduced
in the Senate by Sumner for an
amendment TO the Constitution to
confine the President to one term.
It has long preamble reciting the
growing feeling of the people, with
out regard to party, in favor Of the
one term principle, quoting the mes
sage of jackson, the letter of accept
ance of Harrison, and Summers speech
during that campaign, and speeches
and letters Of Henry Clay to show
that all strongly favor this principle.
IL also cites the action of Ben. Wade
urging an amendment to the same
effect, quotes Detoqueville, where he
speaks OF the dangers appreheDded
to Republican form of Government
by allowing the President to hold
more than one term. The present
amendment is as follows: "Article
I, sec. Amy person who bas had
the Office of President Of the United
States once shall fnotI be thereafter
eligible to hold that Office a second
time. This amendment shall not
take effect till after the 4tb Of March,
H73."
Sumner offered "a supplemental
civil rights bill and long debate en-.
sued, which was closed by Logan,
who charged that certain Senators
who had urged the passage Of the
Amnesty bill, and bad voted for
amendments, INTENDED to lay until
the Committee should have reported
on claims in the SeDate-referripg te
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina.

The Mobile Register, in opposing
the passive policy. truthfnily argues
that such q policy would be a virtual
disbandonment of the Democratic
party, and eloquently adds: Disband
the Democratic party and you take
away the hopes of liberty from hum
dreds of thousands of Democrats. It
would be TO withdraw from the field
tho only power that stands between
the country and an empire, with Gen.
Grant as its chief Better meet de-
feat in close array, firm to its princi-
Piles, and waiting for another day to
vindicate its policy, than abandon the
field with the fugitive cry of saure
q,ti peat.
The Democratic party cannot die
while ra. of hope is left of Constitu-
tional Government. II was born
with the Constitution, it can only die
with it. If die it must-and we are
far from admitting such fate in this
crisis-let it fall nobly, and so down
holding fast the pillars of that great
temple built by the fathers which
their degenerate and cowardly pos
terity have suffered to be crushed un-
der the weight of ambition, corrup-
tion and fanaticism.
Courage is the great need now in
Democratic ranks.
Let the weak and the timid halt and
faint by the wayside, and let the COW.
ards flee from the present danger, but
there will still be Democratic party
left, composed of the cream of its prin-
ciples, its patriotism, aud its brav.
cry. They will soon grow seed for the
future; for with Grants election, and
the succession in view, thcse will be
new political changes to invite the

Hon. Daniel W. Vorhees, of Indi-
ana, one of the most brilliant orators
and able statesmen of our day, has
published an address upon the politi-
cal situation, in which he urges upon
the Democratic National Executive
Committee the propriety of calling a
preliminary General Democratic Con-
vention, in advance of the Convention
to nominate candidates for the Offices
of President and Vice-President next
year, with view to agree, first, upon
line of policy and programme of ac-
ton to be pursued in order to secure
Unity and Harmony in the Party in
the approaching campanign-and then
to call a General Convention of all
those who are willing to join in the
contest on the programme thus agreed
to. to nominate candidates upon it
Mr.. Vorhees thinks the preliminary
Convention ought to be called to con-
vene as early as the 22d of February
next.
This is suggestion which demands
the earnest attention of Democrats.
In these troublous times, when "new
departures" and passive policies" are
agitating our party from centre to
circumference, and creating discord
and inharmony, Convention of the
kind suggested would certainly re-
suit in great good to the party and
would place us in a much better con-
dition for bold, aggressive fight in
the approaching national struggle
With unity and harmony, such as the
Convention suggested By Mr.. Vor-
hees would strive to restore and per-
petuate. we would enter the contest
in almost invincible array. This
early Convention should be empow-
cred to issue an expression of princi-
pies and issues for the guidance of the
party in the campaign, SO that by the
time the battle opens Democrats will
be fully united and harmonized.-
They will understand what sort of a
fight is necessary and be prepared to
make it. Aspirants for Presidential
honors will understand the issues up.
on which the Democracy intend to
enter the arena, and can either get
out of the way or commit themselves
beforehand to their support and ad-
herence. Let it be early understood
that honesty and economy is TO be
the groundwork thenext Democrat
ic platform, and the good and true
men of ali parties will unite upon il
and strive together in driving dis
honesty from power and purging cor
ruption from the civil service of the
country.
We trust that Mr.. Vorhees' sug
gestion will be acted upon by the
National Committee, and that the
proposed Convention viii be called
at an early day.

the severest nonchalance, totally OBJ
livious of the fact that it was o cbo-

which the heart of one of the genus

glad. Mr.. Editor, do you desire to
know the name of the gentleman
who was "to rejoice and be exceed

munifcent gift as goose-a verita-
BILE tame goose? Well, I cannot tell,
but for your private ear will say
that he is known as the "young man
from Wisconsin" He is at present
engaged in buying and selling geese
in Harrisburg. The tree was con-
structed in the capacious Christian
Church which was filed to overflow

most successful enterprises of the
kind ever had in Harrisburg.
