THE ALD1NE, while issued with all the regu-
larity, has none of the temporary or timely in
terest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. 1t
Is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature and collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to it's fIienus, the real
appreciated after it has been bound up at the
close of the year. While other publications may
claim superior cheapness as compared with
rivals of a similar class. THE ALDINE is a
unique and original conception--alone and I'M
approached-absolutely without competition in
price or character. The possessor of the volume
just completed cannot duplicate the quantity of
fine paper and engrayings in any other shape or
number Of volumes for ten times its cost.
The labor of getting THE ALDINE ready on
the press is so great that reprnting is out of the
question. With the exception of Il small num-
Der specially reserved for binding, the edition of
1871 is already exhausted, and it is now source

PRINCIPLES ENUNCIATED by THE RE-
-. PUBLICANS OF VIRGINIA.


The Republicans of Virginia, in Convention
assembled, about to enter upon the canvass for
the election of President and yice-President
oil the United States, now formally announce
their principles to the voters of tins Common
wealth. fEt ~ 4sAErl .FE t
From 1866 to 1872 they have continually and
unwaveringly held and proclaimed the same
principles and they hereby reiterate and re-
affirm the resolutions of their State Conventions
held in 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870. and 1871.
These principles have been embodied in the
18TH 18th, and 10th amendments of the national
constitution and in the civil rights act of April
0, 1885, the enforcement act of May 80, 1870, and
the amended enforcement act of April 20, 1871 I;
which principles in brief are - Z ltt 4.
/. That slavery shall never exist in this Union /;
That all native and naturalized inhabitants of
these states shall be citizens of the Union, eni-
tied to absolutely equal rights, civil and politi-
cal; at o.. y p.
That the elective franchise and the right of Of
ficehoidng shall belong to all citizens of proper
age, not guilty OF crime, irrespective of race,
color, or of any other proscriptive qualification
q That the laws of Congress passed for the
enforcement of these rights should be diligently
executed; and that If, in practice, these laws
should be found inadequate for this purpose,
other laws should be enacted by Congress effect
ual TO that end.
3.That these constitutional amendments and
the laws for their enforcement embody not only
the just principles of equality and right; but
those of true Christian liberation; and that we
oppose all prescription for opinion sake, and all
endeayors to infuse spirit of hatred and HOSTILE
ty in the minds of one class of citizens against
another on political grounds.
| 4. That we challenge the world to produce
financial results more 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 Ir-r the present satisfactory
