An AnectinE Scene.

In speaking Of the recent food. which
was so disastrous in several sections OF
Virginia, the Lynchburg papers record
the following sad event:
A mother and several little children
were making their escape from q mar
row neck OF land which lies between the
river James and the canal, when they
were amazed to find that the bridge was
already gone, and that their only hope
was to cling to the -abutment OF the
bridge until the angry waves should
subside. But as they stood there cling.
ing to the abutment, the waters contin.
ned to rise higher and higher, while in
the deep darkness they could hear the
crashing of trees amid the thunders of
bridge timbers that were wildly dasbing
all around them. They had been in this
condition for come time when the little
girl felt that her strength was gone, and
with . shrek Of terror she exclaimed,
kiss me mother, for I can't hold on
any longer" And with the warm pres.
sure Of the mothers lips upon her cheek,
she was swept away and was seen no

what are His Principles ?

John j. Jacob says, III I were willing
to sacrifice my principles l would be
unworthy Of support" Can any friend
of Mr.. Jacob tell US what his principles
are, except that which prompts him to
hold the office conferred on him by the
Democratic party that he now betrays
1t is true that q speech purporting to
have been made BY him at Moore6eld,
was once published. 1t stalled principles.
1t was q good speech. Jacobs friends
were pleased. But when the truth was
confidently told they learned that the
then Democratic candidate, now Rad
ical bolter, failing to write or publish
3 respectable speech, Spivihs, the
sprightly and pungent local editor OF
the Wheeling RsGIsrER did it for him.
So that this highly creditable speech Of
one OF our craft cannot be treated as an
exponent of the principles Of Gov. Ja-
cob. There is no other known among

Mr.. Jacobs Address.

When one becomes a candidate for a
political office unendorsed by a Conven-
ton which has promulgated it's plat
form it is not only usual but is manly and
justto the people, that he should declare
his views upon the living issues in which
they are interested. And such has been
the custom and requirement. No citi-
zen should assume that he is so able
and patriotic and devoted to the inter-
ests of the State, that the people will,
at his request or entreaty, place him in
a position of trust, honor and influence.
without being informed as to his polit-
ical opinions, and the policy which he
will adopt in the administration Of the
Office which he seeks.
The two important questions now
pending before the people OF our State
are,
lst. Shall the proposed Constitution
be adopted and,
End. Should Grant or Greeley be the
the next President of the United States?
The most casual glance at the address
of Gov. Jacob to his "fellow-citizens OF
West Virginia." cannot fail to attract
attention to the fact that he has assumed
that be should be elected to the highest
Office within their gift, without disclos-
ing TO them a single political opinion
which he entertains. Is he. in favor OF
Grant or Greeley? Is he in favor of or
opposed to the adoption Of the proposed
Constitution We look in vain to find
answers to these questions in the last
manifesto Of His Excellency.

From the Independent.
"When we are gone, how soon are we
forgotten" might be said by test oaths
and registration books, as it was uttered
BY Rip Van Winkle on his return to bis
native village Of Falling Waters, after
his twenty year nap on the Catskill
Mountains. Scarcely one year has
passed since the Democratic party
struck the political shackles from thou.
sands Of citizens Of this State, which had
been fastened on them by the leaders Of
a party that was never surpassed and
perhaps never equalled for corruption
and political cruelty. In the last and
ploriously triumphant struggle for the
freedom OF ouf fellow,citizens, our party
elevated to the highest position in the
State, a gentleman taken from compar-
atively political obscurity and gave him
q prominence that. perhaps, he had
never dreamed of obtaining.
Yet, to-day, we witness the sad spec.
taele of that gentleman being found
"cheek by jowl with Farnsworth,
Boreman and other leaders and authors
OF prescription in West Virginia, to
strike the death blow at the orgsniza-
ton of that party which b gave him all
the prominence that he has. Can it be
go that the people Of this State, who
have 90 recently buried the instruments
of prescription, test oaths and registra-
ton iniquities, have forgotten the five
wears of humilisting horror, that We
have passed through. aud, in order to
grstify the whim, or redress the sup
poeed grievance Of Q man who will
destroy the party that gave him politi-
cal existence, in order to subserve per
sonal ambition2 We think not if We
know ANYTHING Of the spirit OF West
Virginia Democracy. We don't pro-
pose to give Mr.. Stevenson or Mr.. Bore
man another lease on the State govern
ment, by defeating the nominees OF our
party, even if they try to do it with Q
sore head from our ranks. We feel
mortified that our con6ence in Governor
Jacob was misplaced.
