DIR. EDWIN II. SMITH has been nomi-
mated by the Republicans of Diuwiddie
County for the House of Delegates, DR..
SMITH is well known in this city, where his
sons Hon JOHN AMBLER SMITH and G.
NJ. SMITH, esq, nre now practicing law.
For many years DIR. SMITH was assessor of
Internal Revenue in the Third Virginia
district. He is man of learning, and, we
believe, one of the ablest public men in
Virginia. His election will reflect credit
upon the people of Dinwiddie, We trust
every Republican in the county will stand
up for the party and its nominees. Any
man who ialters now should be branded az
traitor. Colored men in Virginia should
bear in mind that all true Republicans sup
port their party nominee, and also that the
Republican party is in favor of honest gov
ernment and equal rights to all. The
taxes paid by colored men are very insig-

REpUBLICANIsM IN THE SOUTH.

While the assertion is frequently made
that the patriotism and fidelity to the Re-
public is Confined to the North, it will be
admitted that the existence of those quail
ties is best attested by a close adherence to
the principles of the Republican party
Taking this assumption rs a standard and
pursuing an unprejudiced investigation into
the facts, it appears that the assertion in
question is untrue, and that it is used either
by writers who are ignorant of these facts
or as the result of carelessness and a slip
shod Characterization of the dominant po-
litical elements in the two sections. A few
figures will illustrate this meaning:
In 1872, for example, there were 3597,-
070 votes polled for President GRANT in all
of the States out of total vote of 6,431.-
149. The Southern States .polled at that
election 2,O9762S, of whicn 1,O79,636-a lit
tie more than half-were cast for GRANT.
There was certainly, viewed from the stand
ard referred to, an acknowledged patriotism
and fidelity to the Republic in the South in
that contest.
Again, in 1876, of the 2,720971 votes
polled in the South, 1,106771 were given to
President HAYES. Deduct from the sum
total the 10000 stuffed Democratic ballots
in Alabama, 10000 in Georgia, $4,000 In
| Kentucky, 10000 in Maryland, 10000 in
Mississippi, 10000 in North Carolina 5O,-
600 in South Carolina and 10000 in Yir-
giuia, and we find that this was about one
half the votes actually polled and to put
them in, thousands of Republicans sacri-
feed their lives. Was there no patriotism
or fidelity to the Republic" on the part
of these men who faced death-and many of
whom suffered ito show their devotion to
principle?
Taking the phrase in broader sense, it
is still further from being correct. There
were 175,000 white Southern men in the
Union armies; also, over 100000 colored
Southern men who did the same. And it
is certainly low estimate TO say that there
are 100000 Southern men who served in the
Union armies or lived in the North, and
sympatbized with the Union cause, who
have settled in the South since the war. o.
these 100000 citizens it cannot be said that
they are devoid of patriotism.
But these facts and figures are mainly
significant in 50 far as they show that the
Republican party is not a sectional party
and that it has friends, adherents and sup,
porters throughout the length aud breadth
of the land-enough Of them to give it a
legitimate control under fair elections Oh
more than two-thirds Of all the States o
the Union. And it will not be denied that
this array of historic truth will entitle the
Southern wing of the party 10 more con
siderate regard than they have heretofore
enjoyed at the hands of their Northern
: brethren.

THE Philadelphia Times insinuates very
pointedly, or admits very emphatically,
that GRANT and SETTLE would make a
good Republican ticket in 1S5O-"Good for
a storm" it says; but little stale just
now" We think, however, that the stale
ness of this combination may possibly be
assuaged, as it were by the conduct of the
Democratic majority in the coming session
of Congress.

OF wiping them out This task is made
easy, and the accomplishment of it must be
short, sharp and decisive. Ohio has been
fighting the battle of New York with zeal
and energy worthy of the cause and the Em-
pire State should roll up the memorable

will enrage Republicans everywhere, North
and South, and make them more deter
mined than ever that pure sectionalism,
based upon bogus Home Rule, shall be put
down, for the day Of temporizing and con-
ciliation with these selfish, unresponsive
and seditious aggressors against the cause
of good government has passed, and is gone
forever. But all that will make very little,
if any, difference with the Bourbon majority
in the present Senate. All they desire is
to add to the tenacty of their grip upon
the legislative branch Of the Government
to preserve the Senate, if they can, against
any change Of its political complexion in
1884, ,'and to hold that body as a base for
future operations in their efforts to re-
establish the most exaggerated and covertly
seditious construction of the rights Of the
States. To do this they will not hesitate
or scruple at anything, no matter how un-
just, revolutionary OF disreputable it may
be- The country may therefore rs well be
prepared for vigorous renewal this coming
winter of the assault upon Senator KEEL
LoGG's title, and it will then become the
duty of the Republican press TO keep the
people thoroughly advised of its infamously
partisan character.
