MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT.
We are in favor of the development
of the material resources OF our state,
which, urder the rule of the Conservative
party and its predecessors, have lain dor
mant. The mines of coal, iron and other
minerals, the vast water-power, and the
many other material resources OF the
state, which exist in rich prolusion on every
hand, need but enterprise and capital to
develop them, and thus make Virginia one
Of the greatest manufacturing states in the
Union. 10 this end, we are in favor OF
such liberal legislation as shall tend to en-
courge the investment of capital in mining
and manufacturing operations, and of gen.
eral laws of Incorporation, together with
such liberal spirit on the part of our peo-
pie as shall invite men of enterprise to
come and dwell among us.

vice. president, and all other officers of the
government, as far as possible, aby the d.

raj Grants administration, whereby all

the dread havoc of war. f4.st se5,
