THE APPROACHING CITY ELrCrroN

TIE APPROACHING CITY ELECTION.
The people Of Richmond, one week
from to-day, will select their representa-
tives in the Legislature, to hold and exer-
else their delegated power for two years.
We call on the Old-Line Wings and
Douglas men of 1860 to remember the
past, and act with provident discretion
as to the future. There are strong indica-
tons everywhere of the near approach of
the most serious complications in our
national and state affairs. 70 be fore
warned is to be forearmed. True Repub-
lcanism springs from and abides in the
will of the people, firmly held to their
duty by an appreciative responsibility to
posterity. When the enlightened will of
the people, from any cause, or by any
means, is sought to be violently sup
pressed, we may always apprehend the
near approach of a revolution, violent or
spasmodic, as measured by the causes
which produce it.
1t cannot and will not be disputed as a
common fact that, but tor the fact that
the colored voters, almost to a man, will
support the Republican nominees, at least
one.half of the Conservative party would
act with the Republican party. Is it not
a singular and ominous condition of parties,
when educated and enlightened men refuse
to act in accordance with their honest
convictions, simply because less favored
and more ignorant class of men agree
with them? And vet such is the fact.
Is it not time for white men, thinking
men, laboring men, to rise equal to the
occasion, and by their acts indicate their
intelligence, and demonstrate their common
sense? The occurrences everywhere
indicate the practical existence OF but two
organized parties, the Democratic and the
Wing or Republican parties. How an old
Henry Clay man can become Demo-
crat is to our mind mystery; but we
can easily see how Democrat can
become Wing.
This, in our Judgment, is the precise
issue now before the people of Richmond.
Nor should this fact be overlooked.
In 1860 the Democratic party had ac-
tual and absolute possession of the poht-
ical power Of the country. On abstract
questions they threw it away and brought
on the war. And now, when the Re-
publican party-the successor of the old
Clay-Whig pariy-has saved the Union,
restored the constitution, why is it
that the old issues should be renewed,
under ieigned issue, as between
the white man and the black man? Prin-
cples are eternal, and never depend en-
the votes Of those who sustain and &C.
velop them.
We appeal, on principle, to the Clay
Wings and Douglas Democrats of Rich
mond to support the Republican nomi-
nees for the legislature, as well as tie
state ticket, if they desire the prosperity
of her people.

EVERY failure on the part of Republi-
can to deposit his ballot for the candidates
Of his party is half vote for the enemy.
In view of this fact, it behooves every
man to exert every possible effort to poll
the entire strength of the party. 1t can be
done at only a moderate expenditure Of
time and attention, which may be given
during the remaining seven days Of the
canvass

double entendre to which he resorted, "the
more's the pity" for him, since he has
chosen to cast aside his clerical robes and
enter the dirtiest Of all possible arenas
that of politics. The clergyman who does
this is presumed to be posted in the
use OF all the slang terms of the
day, whether they be political. con-
ventional, socialistic, or moral. We can
conceive of devout and gody man
so far removed from the contagiou of this
evil world as never to have his ear defouled
by any low and vulgar expressions, but he
must be one above dabbling in the dirty
pool of politics in these days. If anybody
is green enough to suppose that clergy
man, thus "dabbling " in politics, is igno-
rant Of the lower conventional uses of our
language, giving rise to vulgar cant phrases
almost universally in vogue, he must be
greener than the utmost possible express
ion of greenness, coming under the
grand exponential designation of "grecn
cheese"
The object of the disclaimer is evil

the clergyman in question was entirely
Ignorant of any such conventional mean

the possibilities, we will not deny but

THE language attributed to the Reverend
W. w. Walker, at Abingdon the other
day, would show that he ought to be tenn
perate in four things: Lingua, locis, ocu-
Us, ct poculis, which meancth that he
should speak little, look before he leaps,
mind his eye, and epitomize the law and
the prophets. All Of which tend to make
"more discreet sealkers in the paths of
Righteousness than clerical politicians
consulting with cheese-trenchers and
painted cloths" as their chief companions.
