"BIaCk spirits and white,
Red spirits and gray,
Minrla. miuple, minplp.p

MlnBle, nHlBle, nlhgle.''
This, and great deal more of the same
delectable sort, is crowded into the col
umns Of one of our city contemporaries
this morning, until ones soul is so deeply
narrowed with dismay, despair, and soul
pmcturng grief, that he has hardly power
to lift his spirits, be they black, white, red
or gray, into any other state than that of
the blankcst horror imaginable. And all
this is to come in like deluge, if the great
and good Conservative party Of Virginia
is whipt in the November election!
"Motly is the wear" or will be forever
after that, in the state in which eloquence
has eliminated SO high, and patriotism
worked out such grand results in the past!
Haven't we had quite enough of this sub
lime twaddle over the past of Virginia?
Is there to beno end of this inordinate har-
rangue oyer her past glory, greatness, and
power? VIII no one speak for the Icing
present?
Under just such political clements as
now seek to control the destiny of the
state, Virginia has gone back from the
very front to almost the rear rank of states
in the Union. Is this fact anything to
boast of, in and of itself? We confess
that we have not the mental acutcncss to
see where the magnificent boast comes in.
Had Virginia maintained her proud pre-
eminence among the great American states,
tho,y E,c+ Ian NOD 80 h.,
reer before them, and not fallen back year
after year in the race of material prosperity
and greatness, this incessant twadde about
her superior cloquence, hcroism, States
manship, and all that sort Of thing, might
not be so entirely offensive as it now is.
But to us it sounds like the braggartsm
and bombast Of boys at school.
What Virginia wants to-day wants at
this very hours a present race of great
men; those who can rise up in the gran
deur and magnitude of their own character,
and achieve something new for the state in
the day and generation in which we live.
Men who nope in spiritess melancholy
over the past-who see nothing but the re-
ceiling glory of a race of intellectual giants
that is fast dying out-will soon dwarf
themselves into pigmies, in spite of all
the splendid qualities they may inherit
from over-boasted ancestry. ...
Appeal to the dauntless spirit of the
present-to the chvary Of the hour-to
the sons and daughters of Virginia whose
flashing feet are pressing the living corri-
dors-if you would achieve anything grand
and noble in your own day and generation.
The past is gone; the future will not stay:
the present is here, necessarily pressing its
demands upon us /; and five would be any
thing but moping owls, we must cease to
boot our ancestral notes over the waste
and ruin of Virginia.

And calmly give them up to thee
While future years shall only prove
How desoate the heart can be.

Prayers efforts, all have proved in vain;
Lore could not ward the tyrant blow
Nor longer here the soul retain.
