BILE quarter of the United States until

general wish for annexation. AS yet
that day is apparently far distant. The
government and people of the United
States are bound to respect the will of
the Canadians as declared by their regu-
lar and authorized public action, Cana
da is free political community in which
popular sentiment acts without restraint
from the mother country. 1t freely
chooses its own Pertinent, which faith
fully enough represents the popular will
for the time being. The Parliment last
elected has adopted policy which is
calculated and intended to build up a
wall of separation between the two
countries The protective tariff which it
has established looks TO the creation Of a
| set OF Canadian interests which will rem
\ der the Dominion more and more indie
pendent of American trade by supplying
its own wants from home sources.
Nearly one-halt of the people of Cana
da believe that Sir John Macdonald's
policy is inconsistent with the true in
terests of the country. 1t is opposed
and may be overthrow on arguments
drawn from the welfare of Canada as Il
separate community. Nothing could SO
cripple its opponents us to afford any
ground for accusing them of wishing an
neXation to the United States.

Beautiful night,
With the soft silver light,
or the neon, over valley and plain,
When nothing Is heard,
But the voice of Bird
In pensive and sleepy refrain.
Twas on such time,
Ina far away cline,
That Endymion slept In a grove,
A-dreamirg Of things,
Cfcourliers and kings,
But not for moment OF love.
Whex, strange, In that hour,
From loves gentle bower,
Diana, all trembling with biiss,
Came stealthily down,
Minus scepter and gown,
And opened his eyes with kiss.
A tlmo when the heart,
From the common must part,
when the soul IS from prison removed,
The hour when lover
May quickly discover,
His fate frsm the lips Of his loved.

Ex-senator Pool for Hancock.

Hon. John Pool, Of North Caroline, for
merly Republican member OF the United
States Senate. has written a long letter on
the political situation, OF which the follow
ing are The closing paragraphs:
The leading duty Of both sections is to
come TO a complete reconciliation and 10 re-
store fraternaI confidence and kindness.
TO neglect II longer is frau9ht with danger
There was a sharp warning gwen us Tour
wears ago, and deeper warnings are around
us. There is really no important principle
that divides us. Mutual confidence and
forbcarance would bring harmony and Sc
curly OF once. The equality OF the citizens
before the law. the equality OF the STATES IN
political rights, the integrity OF The Union,
and the faithful execution OF the laws, are
fundamental principles upon which all may
stand. They afford solution OF every real
trouble that exists. il observed In go0d
faith and with mutual Difference IN The de-
tails If their execution.
In view OF the whole situation, involving
sentiment, duty, sound policy, and the fu-
ture, regard the nomination OF General
Hancock as a most fortunate and provlden-
tial event. He is eDdeared TO the North ard
commended TO its fullest confidence by the
purity and tirmness OF his personal charac-
ter and by the services he rendered in de-
ience OF the Union. He has the confidence
OF the South as an honorable and gallant
soldier representing that feeling in the
North which would respect the Just rights
OF all, and make the nation solid in peace
and unity instead of the sections in dis
cord and hate. After all that has trans
PRED during the war and since,
am convinced that no Republican President
M a
normal condition OF peace and order, and
am as fully convinced that The election OF
General Hancock would bring that result.
The northern people would naturally be
prompt 10 aid aud sustain him in all mea-
suIes adapted TO such a purpose, and the
southern people would OF necessity, as well
as disposition, heartily aud earnestly eX-
tend their full cooperation and support.
On the other hand, the election OF Pre-
sident ny a sectional vote is TO prolong and
intensity existing evils and dangers aud to
shroud IN darkness the present and the fu-
ture, involving white and black, rich and
poor, in common calamity.
These, my friend, are the candid views
formed from close observation and sober
reflection under circumstances that have
given me the best opportunity to observe
aud consider. In the approaching presi-
dental election the success OF one party is
TO restore trustfuI confidence and mutual
kindness between the sections, and thus to
make the Union solid, L hope, for all time.
The success OF the other is to put the Sec
tons IN solid array, with no reasonable as
surance that the same thing Is not to be re-
peated as long rs the party in power can
induce the Northern people to prolong Sec
tionpl rancor and malevolence and TO treat
ten millions OF the American people As con-
quered enemies instead OF felow-citiZens IN
the common brotherhood OF the Union.
Respectfully and truly your friend,
JOHN Pool.

Senator Hampton's Denial.

whether TO credit General WADE HAMPTON
or his libellers. In telegram TO the Gin
cipnati Commercial, dated Washington, Au-
gust 10Th, is the following:
In private letter to gentleman in this
city Senator Hampton says:
"What good is it TO deny this story, to
instantly be confronted with a more despe-
rate fabrication. Is my whole record since
the close OF the war, and are all my efforts
for better understanding between the Sec
tions, broad and dOwn-reacbIng for the
Union, 10 be frittered away by the forgeries
OF an obscure newspaper-wriler? | neither
used the words attributed 10 me nor any
thing approaching them In meaning. L am
perplexed and almost discouraged"
This is broad, clear, and unequiyOcal.

Correspondence 0. the Richmond DisDatch.1
AUGUST Is, 1880.
Perhaps word from this section relative
to the political status of affairs may be OF
some interest 10 your readers, and i VIII
begin by informing them that The white
people Of WeslmoIelaDd intend to vote the
regular Hancock electoral 'cket; the blacks
for the Republican nominees, a usual. The
Readjusters here have been making extra
ordinary efforts TO rally their forces. but so
Ear have signally failed, and those who
voted with them LAST fall are now TO be
found marching boldly in the ranks OF the
Democratic Column under tEat banner
which they know will lead them to an as
sured Hancock victory. They strongly con-
denim and denounce the action II the 7th.

independent ticket. They cannot be made

they can never be gotten back into the fold.
have it from the mouths OF the leaders OF
the party here that they have no hope for
their cause in this section; they are looking
entirely to the Valley and Southwest to pun
them through, and il they are mistaken in
that calculation, then their ticker is already
doomed to a Waterloo defeat. The white
voters OF this county, and the same may be
said of every county in the Northern Neck,
fully appreciate the fact that this j. no time
for division in their ranks, and you may de-
pend upon il that in this contest they VIII
stand 10 the cOl0rS Of true Democracy. de-
spite all the persuasion that all the Readlust-
or demagOgues and place-huDters can bring
to bear upon them. The scales have fallen
from the eyes OF those who voted the Re.
adjuster ticket last fall. They find they
have been deceived, and that those whom
they followed then are now trying 10 use
them for their own personal and selfish ends,
preferring rather that Garfield should carry
the State than a surrender OF their grip and
the spois incident thereto. The truth is
the few X, adiuster leaders here now find
themselves without following, and in their
great strait they are holding ont their
hands to the Republicans, who, OF course,
give them as much aid, comfort, and en-
enlargement as it is polite TO do. That
course, however. only tends to weaken
them; the Republicans have no other idea
than to vote the GaI field ticket, and the
white people, not liking such II mixture,
will take theirs straight. In conclusion,
the Conservative party here is intact 1t
means TO vote for Hancock and English,
and the congressional nominee in the old
fashion way, and TO place its vote in Noyem-
Der where it Will do the most good.

DIR. Tanner TOOthIess.

DR.. Tanner. the great faster, according to
his friend, DR.. Gum, has had all his teeth
drawn, and will remain in New York until
his dentist provides a new set. Then, after
brief visit TO his father in Ohio, he will
take TO the lecture field. The first complaint
DR.. Tanner uttered after The termination
OF the fast was that his jaws were sore.
The enormous eating he did and the con-
slant use OF his jaws after their long dis
use made his gums sore. While he was
fasting the gums shrank from the teeth,
and when he began TO use his Jaws the mo-
ton loOsened the gums and at the same
time lOasened his teeth. Hence the tooth
pulling and the new set Of teeth. Dr.. Tan
ner now weighs l5j against 1873 pounds
when he began to fast.
So the New York papers say.
