Southern Improvement Company with such
chartered rights, point to . monopoly, and
that It is intended TO- control the producing
and manufacturing Of petroleum BY foreign
capital, to the detriment and destruction
of home industries and FREQ capital, we
therefore refuse, under any circumstances,
to consider any compromise which on the

provemeut Company, no wells shall be
begun for the term Of sixty days;and
Whereas, 1t was further resolved at said

these measures which are not only eminent,
calculated at the present crisis to strengthen
our position, but in view Of the surplus pro

Hirgfnin.

The canvass in this State is prog ressing
satisfactorily. The Republicans are wide
awake and in earnest. a growing convic-
ton that the best interests of the State
have suffered, and are to suffer more grew
ously if the Democratic rule is perpetuated,
is inducing many to rally to the Republican
standard. despite the efforts to perpetuate
and intensity race prejudices.
The educational interests of the State
and all its material interests have suffered
under the narrow and bigo,ed policy of the
Opposition. The education of the children
of the poor and laboring men is not felt to
be a high and imperative duty as in the
Northern States, and as consequence
stolid ignorance prevails to a fearful extent.
Virginia needs more of true Christian
craftsmanship and more exalted concep-
ton of the duty of the State in its admins
tration.
We trust that it will be thoroughly
emancipated at the coming Presidential
election. The opposition will ring the
charges about carpet-baggers and negro
rule. We desire neither for the mother of
States. But we do desire its emancipation
from the rule Of the ante-diuvian Democra-
cy. We want to see the Old Dominion
marching on to higher and better destiny.

Letter from Acknowledgements In Republican

AMHERST G. H., Va,
October 10. 1872

TO the Editor Of the State Journal.
We poor, despised Radicals in this Sec
ton of the State are heartily rejoiced to
report that the prospects of the Grant and
Wilson ticket here are encouraging. Num-
bers of independent voters hitherto Conser.
vative, are refusing to be humbugged into
voting for Greeley, and at the coming cleo
ton will either remain at home or come
resolutely to the polls and vote for Grant.
In spite ~ the strategy Of leaders to
consolidate and keep the party together, the
Conservative yoke is being thrown off and
the scales are dropping from mems eyes.
By way Of trying to get up little enthu-
siasm, the Greeleyites are to have
grand barbecue and pole-raising here on
the Goth instant. They are Just now
discussing the subject of procuring a
suitable flag for the said pole. Some of
Us suggest the stars and stripes for the oc.
casion. We ask these men who take every
occasion to denounce Northern Grant
man and affirm that he is opposed to re-
Cancellation; these men who are 80 anx-
ious to be conciiated--we ask them
before shaking hands across the
bloody chasm to cover it with the
"Star Spangled Banner" Will they do It I?
They will tell you "There is nothing in
flag" Why then despise the flag Of our
nation? When see the national coIors
unfurled to the breeze in every Southern
city and town by all parties then will I
begin to believe there is some sincerity in
the cry for reconciliation. ~
