PRINCIPLES ENUNCTATED by THE RE-
PUBLICANS OF VIRGINIA..

The Republicans of Virginia, in Convention
assembled, about to enter upon the canvass for
the election of a President and Viee-President
oil the United States, now formally announce
their principles to the voters of this Common
wealth.
From 1865 to 1872 they have continually and
unwayeringy held and proclain the same
principles; and they hereby rererate and re-
affirm the resolutions of their State Conventions
held in 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870, and 1871, az
These principles have been embodied in the
18th, l4th and 10Th amendments of the national
constitution and in the civil rights act of April
8, 1866, the enforcement act of May 3d. 1870 and
the amended enforcement act of April 30 1871 (;
which principles in brief are:--
j. That slavery shall never exist in this Union !;
That all native and natnralized inhabitants of
these states shall be citizens of the Union, enti-
tied to absolutely equal rights, civil and politi
cal;
That the elective franchise and the right OF of
fice-holding shall belong to all citizens of proper
age, not guilty of crime, irrespective OF race,
color, or Of any other proscrptive qualification
O. That the laws of Congress passed for the
enforcement of these rights should be diligently
should be found inadequate for this purpose,
other laws should be enacted by Congress effect
ual to that end. ti
s. That these constitutional amendments and
the laws for their enforcement embody not only
the just principles of equality and right bat
those of true Christian liberation and that we
oppose all prescription for opinion sake, and all
endeavors to infuse spirit of hatred and HOSTILE
another on political grounds. 'Iust
4. That we challenge the world to produce
financial results moro successful than have been
achieved by the national administration, The
national debt has been diminished three hundred
millions Of dollars while taxation by the nation
al government has been largely and steadily re-
duced. Our credit has improved and strength
ened at home and abroad the perpetrators OF
fraud and embezzlement have been vigorously
pursued and promptly punished the revenues
have been collected by officers held by the Presi-
dent to the most rigid accountability, all OF
which has produced the present satisfactory
condition of the national treasury.
8. That well conducted and faithfully al
mnsteIed system of free schools, in pursuance
of the State constitution, whereby the children
of the people shall be universally educated, is Il
cardinal policy of the Republican party, and
necessary to tho well being of society; and as
one means of securing an efficient infringement
of the free schools Of Virginia, favor the cleo
ton of sch DOL trustees by the people in such
manner that the minority well as the major
ity may be represented in the school boards.
6. That it is due to the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction of Virginia, that this Convention
should express their approval of his late able re-
port, as giving earnest of his competency and
fidelity of intention in the discharge of his i'm
portant duties.

Letter from Orange County-Political-The
Crops-ImProvements, &c.
ORANGE O. H., VA,
up eth 1870


To The Editor Of the State Journal:
For several weeks past at least couple
of Greeley canvassers OF the colored
race have been vigorously at work to sow
the seeds of discord in the Republican ranks
here.
From the riotous tendency Of many young
Greeleyites here, after the mantle of dark
ness falls over law-abiding citizens, it's
probable that Greeley money is being ex-
pended here in profusion. 1t is thought
strongly of that the opposition have not
made an effort to counterfeit the influence
exercised by these Greeley mercenaries.
No colored man in the South could work
against the reelection Of President Grant
from any other motives than mere pay.
The most ignorant of them must know
that the ku-klux and rebels would not sup
port any man for the high office of Presi-
dent except by contract.
The wheat crop in this vicinity far ex-
ceeds the calculations of the farmers both
in quantity and quality. The oat and hay
crops are failure. The corn, though late,
with fair season may yet be an average
crop. Sumac is said to be the most profit
able crop with us, as it never fails, and cost
no labor for its production. The price paid
is about one cent per pound after it is
dried. Yours, ARGUS.

The departure of G. +. Seward, Amer
can Consul General at Shanghai, on visit
to the United States, is made the occasion of
very complimentary remarks by the British
Journals in China and Japan. They say that
though his talents and training may fit him
Tor higher positions, they should be sorry
to lose him, since his experience of eight
years has given him qualifications possessed
by few if any of his countrymen for Consul
oeneral. lie is credited not merely with
urbanity, attention, and fidelity in perform
Ing his official duties, but with Jealous labor
10 improve the methods of doing consular
business, and IA generous sympathy with
measures to promote good feeling among the
Europeans in China and between the Euro
peans and Chinese. Such testimony, COM
ing from our commercial rivals, is worthy OF
attention. and should be set down to Mr..
Stewards credit.
