In this country, from the Delaware to the

OF 1orelgn commerce, are the best answers
that can be made to Mr.. Frazar,s lament
on the subject of ship-building and free

nall dozen more, to the number of those
who must be fed by the agriculturist. and

British free-trade theories, and if entrusted
with the power Of the state will use all it's
influence to deaden Virginia industries and
throw the state back into the ruts of the dead
past. What the people of Virginia want to
do-what in fact is imperatively demanded
OF them-is to kill off the Bourbon Democ.

every man is at his post, and the enemy

that the fight whichw was to have placed
him at the head Of slave empire. with
proconsuls and projects appointed ali over

and Lacy will save the "Lost Cause, in
the last ditch not yet reached. No wonder
that he should be- encouraged bv the
tone and temper of the Virginia cam.
palgn. He knows the candidates thew
were faithful during the war. and
declares of them that they were of "those
VINO counted the cost of secession, and
stood firm through the storm that fol-

lowed it." Davis would doubtless saw
ne stood firm, and we must infer, there
fore, that he also counted the cost
beforehand. But the same crush
ing defeat that came. upon him
awaits Kemper and the jeff. Davis
candidates generally. The people of Vir-
glnla have had enough of jeff. Davis and
oil his battles in the Wilderness. The war
spirit does not enthuse as much as it did,
and the great mass Of white voters are
SICK enough ofthese war-whooping speeches
and editorials. With no better ammuni.l
ton than this in the fight, Hughes will be
elected by twenty thousand majority.
