Immigration into Virginia.

We learn that Senator Johnston intends
soon to repeat his northern trip on be6ai1
OF immigration, proceeding as far as New
York. Other parties will engage in this
work from time to time. under the auspices
OF the Virginia immigration Society. The
mission OF these gentlemen will be to tell
the northern people in plain, practical
address what they know about virginia.
OF all the methods yet devised, this IS the
best for efficient, productive work. 1t has
been tried and proven to be successful be-
yond cxpectatiou. 4 series OF such move
mepts will do the work OF years in fasten-
ing that widespread and profound conyic-
ton upon the northern mind which IS des-
tined to stem the westward tide and turn it
in this direction. There are thousands OF
people in the North who would prefer Vlr-
pipia to anv other State il they could be
made to understand the real value OF her
advantages. BY going among the people,
who desire reliable information to guide
them in this matter, we show our own faith
in what we claim for Virginia. Ihts IS the
faith that begets .fauh-the action that De-
gels action
tai, is Virginia's greatest need, ana metho Q.
has been found which gives promise OF its
attainment, it becomes grave question as
to whether this work is not public duty,
inseparable from the position OF her public
men and their obligations to her distressed
people. :,
The exigencies arising from our changed
circumstances have opened up new chan
ncls of thought and new spheres OF action
in public as we'll as private life, which we
would do we'll to heed. twill not DO to
follow now in the paths marked out in the
easy-going times, il they stop short OF care
full and constant inquiry and persistent ef-
fort with an eye TO practical relief. The
work OF conviction in the North is the
work OF recuperation for Virginia, and
they will serve the people best who do most
to promote that work. This would seem to
be Senator Johnston's view, Judging by his
acts. and it is doubtless the view OF other
public men who are about to cooperate with
him.
Appointments will be made for these
gentlemen III different towns and cities i'll
the North at such times as they prefer.
Arrangements will also be made for them
to confer with capitalists as to the opportu-
mites for investment in Virginia with a
prospect Of gain.
These addresses, with the northern press
as an ally, and with efficient agencies for
practical work here, may well be expected
to WELD the most gratifying results.

Using go mueb for The Queen City OF the
Ohio river al had been anticipated, CON- n
plants and cayiis naturally became nuraer-
ous. Charges Of administration in the
use Of the money appropriated to. the road 40
were brought forward, and the Legislature att
is busily engaged in Investigating these.
Cincinnati was most unwise In building
this southern read when the money 1t cost
might have been more iudiciously expend-
ed; but it is great folly for her people at
this time to higgle about finishing it. Com
pleted, it will do the city some good; un'
finished, it will do little or none; While the
heavy burthen OF the interest on the money
spent in the enterprise will have to
be met. 1t would be disgrace to the peo'
ple Of Cincinnati il they continued to re-
fuse to subscribe to the completion OF the
road, and we have no idea that they will
But it would be more creditable to their So
cacitv and their public spirit il they

The Nationalist, Platform.

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-The Convention
OF the Nationals nominated full State
ticket. The platform reenunciates the prin'
ciples adopted at the National Convention
at Toledo in February last. They declare
that the Government should furnish aid to
families DESTROYS of settling upon public
lands: they favor rigid economy in the adj
ministration of public affairs; demand the
eight-hour system of labor; the abolition
Of the prison-contract system OF labor; a
graduated system Of income tax; equal
civil and political rights for women; and
that paper money, or greenbacks, based not
alone Oh two mctas-silver and gold-but
upon the entire wealth and integrity Of the
nation, should be issued in sufficient guam
titles to revive our PROSTATE industries.
