Out from hearts o'eiflowing with gratitude
and joy do the Republicans of Virginia and
the Nation send forth their glad Civilizations
With a faith that admitted no doubt, with con-
yctions as deep as the wellsprings of life itself
with an abiding confidence that the contest in
which they were engaged was the great battle
for liberty, for Justice, for right and for ma
tional progress, they came up like heroes to
the work. and even in Virginia almost grasped
the palm Of Victory from the hand of their
enemy. Against odds such as few even con-
tended; against obstacles which the outside
world regarded as nsurmomtable with their
ranks crippled and thinned by laws passed for
rights against foe thoroughly disciplined
and equipped with all the sinews of war, the re-
suit in the State of Virginia was one of the most
remarkable, perhaps, in the annals Of political
history. But now that the conflict is ended,
we should show to the world that as great
achieve success, but how to use 1t as well. Let
our magnanimity in the hour of triumph equal
our energy in the hour of trial. Let there be
no undue exultation over fallen foe. Let us
so bear ourselves that even our enemies will
be forced to confess that it was best as it is.
Let us forget all of the bitterness and spite en-
gendered by a campaign of unparalleled
ferceness. Let us scatter to the winds the
ashes of hate and unchartableness, smooth
over the burrows that mqrred and SCARED the
canvass, and with the same energy displayed
against each other, unite our efforts for the build
ing up of our common mother. We of Virginia,
whatever may be our race or political creed,
should have a common aim, a common end in
view-the elevation of our native. State the
development of her wondrous latent wealth
and the prosperity of all of her people There
is work enough for us all to do, and it is a
work worthy of the noblest efforts of the
noblest men. Let us join hands then, and
lift the old State from the mire of
depression in which she now struggles.
With the same determination we display
ed when contending against each other let
us now close up the ranks shoulder to Shout
der, forgetting all of our differences, and ami
mated by one purpose, press forward until
Virginia shall be what the God of nature in
tended she should be, the foremost Common
wealth in the Union.

General Grant says that Wade Hampton
was the largest contributor to Republican sue
cess, and thinks Gen. Garfield ought, at least,
to make him Secretary of War. There are
other Democrats who did as well as Hamp-
ton, in proportion to opportunity, who should
not be FORGOTTEN.

| 1t is about time that the people of Virginia,
! who have heretofore acted with the Demo :
cratic party, should throw off the leadership
and dictatorial DEGREES of Barnum and John
Kelly, representing the Northern Democracy
and Wade Hampton and his style of :
tcians in the South. The people of Virginia
are naturally conservative and aim to be hon
est. They have permitted themselves to be
lead into all kinds of extremes by the sinister
and merceuary Northern Democracy, and no
less fatal abstractionists fthe South and what
have they gained by it? Their interest lies
with neither of them. They must be asso-
ciated, to assure them business prosperity,
with the intelligence and enterprise of the
North, which comprises, in great part, the
Republican party. The principles of that
party find approval with a large majority of
the people Of this State, and but for preju-
dices, which have too long worked to our
disadvantage and injury, they would to-day
be in political fellowship with that party. The
time has come, we think, for rational refec-
ton, brave action and wise counsel Fifteen
years of adherence to name, which repre-
sents nothing but reaction and the irritating
prejudices of section, ought to be sufficient to
convince all impartial minds that public pol

both in the discussion of the issues pre-
sented. and in the vote to be deposited
The solid South stood waiting with the
persuasive power of 1873 electoral votes
secured without a struggle as TO most OF
them-counted and relied upon before the
ballots were cast, and only wanting AZ
more from the Northern States to make the
President of free Republic, founded upon
the popular will, presumably expressed
through the forms OF law, unembarrassed
and unrestrained.
We submit it to the calm judgment OF the
Southern people whether this was right.
Let them bring in review the character OF
the elections in the Southern States,
with one or two exceptions. and in
the Northern and Western States-the
methods employed in the one section and
those appealed to in the other-and let
them say whether there was not enough to
arouse the resentment, the pride and the
party, or an expectant under Democrat

1t is useless to attempt to disguise the
fact that this solid South business, COM
PEELED the result of the I'd inst. 1t chrystal-
lied Northern effort and sentiment, not
against the South as a people, but against
the Democratic party which sought power
through the ''solid South, - to infiict its mis-
chievous doctrines and notions upon the
country, and prostitute our free institu-
lions to the most corrupt and profigate
partizan purposes. 1t was blessing
to the South itself that it did not sue
coed. To have advanced the Democratic
party to power through such influences,
would have been the naost unfortunate event
that could have occurred to the Southern
people. Instead of the kindness and SYM

| 1t may, too, tend to a judicial determine
tor ill the Federal Courts, and nullify the
entire election in Virginia held on the I'd
| of November for members of Congress and
Presidential electors. If case can be made
up so as to get the question of the consti-
nationality of the poll-taX restriction before
the Federal Courts, we have very little
doubt of the result. The burthen of the
argument of those who have advocated the
| retention of the restriction has been that
its repeal would enfranchise forty thousand
negroes, and jeopardize the dominancy of
the Democratic party, thus confessing that
its. enactment was for the purpose of de-
fraudng the colored voter and reducing the
Republican vote. Not a member of the
Legislature, which passed the constitutional
amendment embracing the restriction, if
put upon his oath, would not be compelled to
admit that that was the animus of it. They
might bubble and squirm about the appli-
cation of the law to all who did not pay the
poll-tax, but when brought square down to
an oath. they would not dare to stultify
themselves by denial that the restriction
was designed to strike at the negro, because
of his previous condition, his race and his
color. The people of Virginia in 1850, by
an overwhelming majority declared for
manhood suffrage. 1t was incorporated
into the Constitution, and there remained
with no lone to protest against it, until re-
construction. 1t was placed in the Consti-
tuition adopted in 1869, and their remained
until the necessities of party demanded its
repeal-a repeal effected by deception and
bad faith, and under the whip and spur of
party dictation and race prejudice. 1t was
not discussed before the people, but flor
the amendments was autographed on the
several tickets and placed in the hands of
the party managers to be voted as part of
the party programme. In this way pro-
vision of the Constitution of the United
States was practically nullified, and whole
