written in blood that this government is
nation and not confederacy of indepen-
dent and sovereign States.
1t is well for the country that such men,
standing as representatives in Congress OF
the democratic party. are unnasked'
They have been playing double game
They are represented at the North as hav-
ing discarded the opinions on which they
justified themselves for making war upon
the government. and yet their hearts are
as black with reasonable doctrine as be-
fore the war. And these men are the
leaders of the democracy. They shape its
course, contro, its organization, WELD all
its power as they please. The South is
the seat of democratic strength. Tucker
and Hill are the opponents of democratic
principles as they are understood in that
section. Are the people of this country
willing to be governed by men who are
controlled by such pernicious sentiments
as those which Tucker and Hill and the
other three score ex-Confederates of the
House hold to? Do they desire an admin
istration which will re-instate the priDci-
pies by which human beings were sold at
the auction block, and men who dared
subscribe for a republican or anti-slavery
paper were deprived Of the privileges Of
the mail ard perhaps tarred and feathered
If they were not fortunate enough to es-
cape into the North? Nothing but the
policy of hypocrisy tried by Lamar and
some northern doughfaces could make
snch result possible, but thanks to Mr..
Blaine's bold and mastery assaults upon
the Southern leaders their game of decep-
ton is utterly defeated, and the democrats
will be beaten again as they deserve to be.

have these sales been sustained, unless virtue has
been found in the articles themselves. The con-

wherever known, prove it to be no humbus.

ANOTHER NAIL IN THE DENOCRA ITO
AaA ~ As COFFIN. y


It Is the opinion of conservative demo-
Gratis that Mr.. Tucker of Virginia drove
another nail into the democratic coffin in
his tilt with Mr. Blaine. The New York
Herald expresses that opinion. Quoting
the colloquy in relation to fuckers avow-
al that he believes now in the right of a
State to decide what mail matter its citi-
Eens shall be permitted to receive, the
Herald correspondent says "Mr. Tucker
''is an able man. but he ought to live in
1.-THE sunlight awhile. His notion that a
Estate officer may interfere with the Uni.
tied States mail is, to put it mildly. obso-
''lete. and there was a look of blank
"dismay and disgust in the faces of many
sensible democrats when they heard
'.him reasserting such doctrines
The opinion expressed by Mr.. Tucker
as to the right Of State authorities to ex-
anime the mails in order to see what they
contained, and to allow only such mail
matter to be received by individuals as
they should see fit to direct, Is that which
the slave holders adopted in order to pre-
vent the circulation of anti-slavery papers
and documents in the South. 1t was one
of the most obnoxious, most unjust, most
unwarrantable measures adopted by the
South. It. robbed the individual of his
rights. struck at the freedom OF the press
and exalted the State above the general
government In derogation Of the power
conferred upon the latter by the consli
tuition. In support. Of this outrageous
State Rights assumption Of power, Mr.
Tucker gave an opinion as Attorney Gen
eral Of Virginia which sustained the in
famous position of the shareholders in it:

a FAST DAY.

BY order Of the Governor to day viii be
observed as our annual fast. Well may
one day in the year be sci apart for the
purposes named in the Executive procla-
nation. In the very constitution ofhu-
man nature 1t is Sc fixed that men feel
their dependence upon the Supreme
Being. The day therefore is in har-
mony with natural instinct or SEN
timent. Looking back We may see and
confess our shortcomings as a
people, and knowing the uncertainty
of the future how fitting that we
should ask the favor and support
of Him who holds. the destinies of men
and nations in His hand. Public religious
services win be generally held in the
State. Let our people keep the day, not
by outward forms alone, but by that recog-
milton in, each and every heart of the spirit
and purpose belonging to the occasion.
