His facts and figures | cannot repeat, but their

DIRECT TRADE WITH EURopE.-The Rich
mond Wing, in an article on this subject, says
"One of the errors which, in our opinion, has
heretofore defeated the establishment of a
direct trade between Virginia and Europe has
arisen from the fact that there has been no con-
cert of action between our own cities and those
of the interior. At intervals Alexandria, Rich
mond and Norfolk have severally essayed move
meuts, in their own behalf. looking to this
trade; which hardly could have been success
fully perfected by the united zeal, intelligence
and means of all combined. The main cause,
however, in the past failures, may be traced to
the fact that it was without the earnest CO.
operation of European merchants and capital
an impossibility to succeed under the over
shadowing influences ofthe city of New York
whose power has wilted every similar effort by
other communities more powerful in materia
wealth than all of the cities Of Virginia com
bincd The fact is becoming apparent that tc
overcome these influences the interests OF Eu-
ropean merchants and capitalists must be en-
listed; for, as has been we'll observed by dis
tinguished Virginian, ':The supremacy of New
York must be fought with the capital and In
telligence of England, France and Germany.

Mr.. Ethan Allen issues circular letter in
answer to an inquiry as to the Intentions of the
Liberal Republican National Committee. lie
says that they mean to lay on their oars and
watch the tide of affairs. He is grati6ed with
the indications as to the Presidents policy, and
regards it as not impossible that Liberalism has
obtained substantial triumph, although it
failed to elect its candidates. The carrying out
of the doctrines proclaimed at Cincinnati and
Philadelphia is all they ask. If Gen. Grant
means, in good faith, sustained by the Repub-
lican party, to give the country genuine reform
and pacific policy, the vocation of Liberalism,
he says, is gone Mr.. Allen recognizes Sumner,
Trumbull, Schurz, Upton and others, as the
leaders of the organization, and suggests that
the party may await to hear from them, with
the assurance that it will not be an uncertain
sound
