FOURTH OF JULY.

a Proclamation by the President ofthe United
States Of america.
The centennial anniversary of the day on which
the United States declared their right to separate
and equal station among the Powers OF the earth
seems to demand an exceptional observance.
The founders Of the Government at its birth and
in its feebeness invoked the blessings and the pro-
lection OF Divine Providence, and the thirteen
Colonies and three million of people have expanded
into nation of strength and numbers commanding
the position which was then asserted, and for which
fervent prayers were then offered.
1t seems fitting that on the occurrence of the hun
dredth anniversary of our existence as nation, a
grateful acknowledgement should be made to AL
mighty God for the protection and the bounties
which He has vouchsaied to our beloved country.
I therefore invite tn e good people OF the United
States the approaching 18th day Of July, in addi-
ton to the usual obse rvances with which they are
accustomed greet th return of the day further
such nner and at CHI time as in their respective
localities and religious associations may be most
convenient, to mark it's recurrence by some public
religious and devout tn anksgivng to Almighty God
for the blessings which have been bestowed upon us
as nation during the century OF our existence and
humbly to invoke ltinuance OF His favor and of
His protection.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Warrington this twenty sixth
day OF June, in the year OF our Dord one

ton of that Of President Grant. More recent
ly it has been announced thatt was. a Blain Fri
umph, and that Balm would be the controlling
spirit of the Hayes regime. Then again it was
a Morton and Conkling victory, and then again
that Simon Cameron was to be the power be-
hind the throne Weattended the convention.
and The conclusion at which we arrived, was
that the nomination Of Hayes and Wheeler was
victory of the people over the scheming, plot
ting politicians. There was no one mans in
tiuence that effected this resut. 1t was the
spontaneous gravitation Of the honest senti-
ment OF the Convention, rejecting the moral
tone OF the nation, to Hayes and Wheeler. No
sooner had Gov. Hayes been declared the NOM
NEE, than all eyes seemed to be turned as by
instinct to Wheeler as the proper man to COM
plete the ticket and fill out the picture. They
stand out to-day the representatives of the
moral tone OF the nation-the pledge of puri-
ty IN administration and justice to all sections
and classes.

Republicans Of Augusta.

We hope and expect to see thorough Or
ganization of the Republicans OF Augusta
County for the Presidential campaign We
are, it is.true, in large rainority, and this
fact should encourage each Republican to earn
est and determined work. We are in the
Right. We have prne;ples, law and the con-
stitution on our side. We aim for the peace
and prosperity of oug State and section thro'
the faithful observance of the obligations of
national duty ansl authority. We may not
win in Virginia. There is hope, but no proba-
bility ofit. We will win in the national con-
test, when. the heart of the nation will speak
the intelligence. the wealth and patriotism of
the American Republic Will be expressed
Let us be true to our convictions, earnest in
our endeavors, although confronted by all the
instrumentalities that prejudice and political
intolerance and bigotry can suggest, and we
will have the satisfaction of having fearlessly
and fairly maintained the Right in the contest
The Central Committee is called to meet in
Richmond on the llth of July. The plan of
organization and the method of carrying it into
effect will then be adopted In conformity to
it, we expect to see an earnest, active organi-
zation in Augusta and adjoining counties Let
each man consider himself committee of one
to quietly present and urge upon his neighbor
the policy and propriety Of supporting the
Cincinnati nominees. They are true men,
They are Christian gentlemen. They are
large hearted, liberal-minded American cti-
zens-they are patriots and statesmen-and
want to see our country united, prosperous
and happy. They will be elected. There is
no doubt about that. The people of this coun-
try are not prepared to turn the government
over to the Democratic party. It's history is
too well known-its imbecility, treachery and
duplcity too fresh in the popular mind to en-
trust it with the administration of the affairs of
this great nation. The triumph, in November
next, will be signal and overwhelming. The
candidates who lead lis are entitled to the con-
fidence of all the people-they will be success
full, and let all who can conscientIous!y, con-
tribute in swelling the vote in Augusta county
and Virginia
We have no specious appeal to fears or feel
ings to make, but frank address to the judg-
ment and conscience. 1t is right that the peo-
pie should support the Cincinnati nominees. -
1t is consistent with their pledges that they |
should do so. It is in harmony with their in |
terests to do so. Nothing but prejudice inter-
venes to prevent it. Is it not about time that |
this harmful passion were brought into subiec- I
ton to reason and Judgment, and the true an1i
substantial interests of the country consulted,
We urge upon our friends in Augusta, Rock
ingham, and adjacent counties, particularly.
to go quietly and earnestly to work, as soon as 1
the plan of organization is announced, and
give good account of themselves on the 9TH
day Of November next.

There has been no adjustment of the differ
ences of the Senate and House as to the various
appropriate N bills. On the 36th inst. all the
unexpende. balances will have to be turned
into the Tr. ,asury, unless there is legislation
authorizing the heads of departments to use
them. If some action is not taken by Con-
gress the wheels of government will be stopped
on Saturday, the mails cease to run, and all
the machi merry of government brought to a
stand still. This is democratic economy and
legislative wisdom.

Both Hayes and Wh ,eler are Presbyterians.
1t is important, also, to know that they are
both Republicans. hig.
We understand fror n good authority that
Gov. Hayes is a Meth odist. More important,
however, in this conte st. is to know that both
Hayes and Wheeler re true blue Republicans,
who understand the mission of the Republican
party, and that the CT institution, as it is, means
something, and that the laws are not to he
dead letters on the s tatute book.

1t will also be seen that the members of the
committee secured for themselves a little over
one-half OF The estimates. Holman, the cham
pion economyshrieker received the full amount
estimated. If Maryland had a good working
delegation it might have got something looking
to the future erection of public buildings in
Baltimore. But its representatives seem to let
their opportunities go by efault.-Americau.

The Valley virginian.

The inside form of the present issue OF the
VALLEY VIRGINIAN has been run off ON one
of the celebrated Cincinnati Cylinder Presses,
manufactured by the Cincinnati Type Foundry
Company. The press is complete in every
respect, and as neat and perfect piece Of ma
ehinery as was ever operated in this part OF
Virginia. We may experience some little diff
ficulty in adjusting the impression this week
but as we become familiar with it, we can the
more readily adjust its splendid mechanism.
We are now prepared to meet all demands
upon lis during the present campaign. Our
subscription list is one of the largest in the
State, is rapidly increasing, and we think we
may safely say that within the next six weeks,
we can boast the largest weekly circulation in
Virginia.
We feel grateful to our friends for the in
terest they have manifested in our efforts to
disseminate national sentiments in this portion
of Virginia. We have endeavored to show our
appreciation of their Partially by the improve
ments we are now making, and it is our pur-
pose to still further enlarge our facilities to ac-
commodate the growing business of our cs-
| Enlistment.
We ask our friends throughout the State to
continue their efforts in our behalf, and assist
us in building up paper that will reflect cred
it not only upon the party it represents, but
| the intelligent and liberal minded people
among whom it is published.
