The Brooklyn Union says: "No Re-
publican is worthy of the name who, in
minor matters, that are mostly local, large
ly personal, and perhaps purely selfish, so
acts as to peril the success Of the great
principles of the party to which he belongs.
No politician must expect to have his own
way in everything. In order to act togeth-
er, men in politics, as in everything else,
must agree to differ where they cannot see
precisely alike; and especially they must
forever abandon the theory Of paying up
old scores growing out of past conten-
TONS"

Z If good advice from all quarters were
all that is needed by the South generally,
and by Virginia in particular, that section
of the country might be the most prosper
Gus and enterprising in the land. Unfor-
tunately this is not the case. Advice is
not lacking of the requisite quality and in
abundance, but there are few to take it to
themselves and follow it. Here, for in
stance, is the Norfolk Journal, which thor
oughly comprehends the industrial stua-
ton, if it is somewhat out of the way po-
litically, urging upon its readers the neces-
sity of ''lnore money and more muscle,
small farms and paying crops" in the ag-
ricultural Gevelopment of Virginia. The
Journal and other Virginia papers have
sung the song, "Young man, 60 to work !"
since the war, without effect. The picture
drawn of the present condition of Virginia
corresponds very nearly with that given
soon after the war had ceased. Those who
have travelled through the South know that
the account is substantially correct. There
is great deal of shiftlessness among the
classes which ought to be wholly composed
of workers-hardly less, too, than in the
years gone by.
/ The Norfolk Journal has apparently
given up the effort to induce the people Of
Virginia to build up their own fortunes, ,and
it calls for immigrants. The productive.
ness of the soil of Virginia is proverbial
Hands that might be tilling it are not lack.
ing, but the disposition to work is. The
average earnings of the people of the
south are far below those of the northern
people themselves. Whether the conditieI
Of these States is to be improved by tn,
coming of strangers to possess the land
under such circumstances, to problem W,
do not care now to discuss; but we canno
forbear saying that even the most fertile
country, if already peopled by strong bu
unwilling laborers, who are likely to be
come charge upon the community, is no
the most attractive field for immigrants
The people of Virginia must show tina
they can make money before the can eS
pect others to be eager to share their lot.-
