Virginia. We are heartily sick Of cam
paign in which no higher or manlier issues
are raised and, if our neighbors are not,
we have a greatly mistaken opinion of
their real character and worth. They
have fought il out on the 'scolor line,''
simply because the demands of the party
made it imperative on them to do so, and
becau1o they may have thought, perhaps,
that more effective appeals could be made
to ignorance and prejudice than to intelli-
gence and governing reason.
But a victory won by such appeals is
nothing to be proud Of; it IS poisoning the
wells of intelligence and playing the in
cendiary with the worst of human passions.
1t may blast country, but it can never
build up the industries Of people.

LITERARY NOTICES.

The INTERNATIONAL RRvIRw.-The publishers
this noble quarterly have just commenced an i'm
portant change in its future management. In.
stead of being run as Quarterly. it will be pub
lished sexennialy, and will have largely increas-
ed editorial force upon its columns. Eminent
European and American writers have been en-
gagged as regular contributors, while Pre-.
fessor Leayitt will continue 10 act as its
leading editor. 1t is not only magazine for the
times, but one for the people-espeeally the
great reading public--as 1t adapts itself to the
vgor and spirit of every day events. The first Of
the new Sexennial, bearing date January, 1871,
will appear about the first OF December. A. S.

JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO.

We expect in the course of few days to
see an editorial in The Enquirer, something
in the fashion of that published by it soon
after the election year ago, in which it
shall say: We have seen them (the ne
groes)and known them since we have known
anything-before the war, during the war,
and since the war. And as far as our ex-
perience of them goes, we do not believe
that there is under the sun apeople who,
under all the circumstances of their sit
tuation, could or would have conducted
themselves as well.
"Mere gratitude and simple regard for the
truth compels US to say that, as people,
they are meek, humble, confiding, faithful,
kind-hearted, generous, hospitable, and
essentially religious; that they are peace
full and law abiding.

aThe whole problem is really resolved
into this: Shall the white race, BY mean
jealousy and unkindness, degrade the
colored race and make them their most dan
gerous enemies, or shall they by just and
kind treatment make them a valuable
element 10 our country and stay and
help to our civilization 2"
But it won't say this until the passions
and hates-the mean jealousies and UNI
kindnesses- that have been excited against
the negroes as race during the cam.
