are not acquainted; spurned from abroad and
scorned at home, the last OF Republicanism in
Virginia would have been "clean gone forey-
err" and all the liberalism" which has been
preached into the ears of the people be re-
membered only as an loft told talep'
Wehave written thus plainly because we be-
lieve it to be our duty to do So There is much in
the declarations of the Re-adjuster party with
which we heartily sympat.ize because it is the
outgrowth of the creed and teachings of the
Republican party. There is much in its ad-
ministration of the affairs of the State which
commands approval and commentator, be-
cause it has been in the interest of the peo-
pie 1t has executed its trusts wisely and well
to the degree that power has been conferred
upon it. But these will not conserve the flu
ture of the Republican party OF Virginia nor
rescue from responsibility the national organ
ization, when the effects of defeat begin to
send their influences all over the country
There is indeed no safety for Republicans out
preserved, and when the Convention of the
party shall be convened let it act bravely and
boldly, with full sense of the responsibility
that rests upon it and the vital interests at
stake. Not only duty to the party here, but duty
to the party the country over, demands that
we shall maintain the integrity OF Republican
ism in Virginia, declare for the cardinal prin-
ciples of the party and stand by them, as we
have stood by them before, whatever the sur
roundings, or however unpropitous the pros
pect. By so acting we will have vindi-
Gated our devotion to the Republican party of
the country, retained our own selfrespect, and
in the end, when the dust and dirt which have
been thrown into the eyes of the people, have
been cleared away by the events of the future,
the thanks of the Republicans of the entire
Union will be extended because of our tide-
ity to the cause of human rights, progressive
thought, and the financial honor of the State
and Nation.

Letter from Hon. SCHUYLER Co,fax.

Among the numerous letters received by
Hon. Jno. F. Lewis from various sections of
the Union, is the following from the Hon.
Schuyler Colfax, three terms Speaker of the
House of Representatives and Vice President
OF the United States during Gen. Grants first
term as President. 1t has been communicated
to us with the request that we give it place
in the columns Of the VIReINIAN, which we
cheerfully do:
SOUTH BEND, IND, June 6, 1881.
My Uear Il have such pleasant and
vivid recollections of your patriotic course in
the National Senate in the years of the past
that cannot refrain from sending you my
hearty congratulations on your nomination
for 1t. Governor, to be followed, as trust, by
the triumphant election of yourself and your
associates by hearty and unanimous anti
Bourbon vote. Millions who are hoping to see
"a new South" fully restored, in MI. Lncoln's
expressive phrase, Ito their proper relations
with the Union" with the progress and pros
perity and development sure to follow, rejoice
ut what has already been SO auspiciously ac-
complished in Virginia by the one victory won
under Senator Mahone's lead. And another
victory under the same fearless leadership will
not only rebuke most signally those, who viii
fed him so persistently for daring to act SO in
dependently with their Republican opponents
in the National Senate, but will also encourage
and call to the front plenty of champions in
other Southern States for equally bold move
ments to throw off the incubus of Bourbon
domination, and in its stead to inaugurate the
impetus of a healthy and patriotic progress :
a contamination most dev0utly to be
wished"
The Irish people have great faith in certain
reforms. embodied in the phrase, "the three
Fs." But there is even greater value for our
institutions, State and National, in the three
Fs.-Free thought, Full ballot, and Fair
count,-which are put forward so prominently
In your platform, and which have been so fully
realized in Virginia since the rise of this indie
pendent organization. do not wonder, there
fore, that Virginia Republicans who desire to
see successfully established every where
throughout the land, Mr.. Greeley's famous
motto, Cali rights for All" feel it to be both
pleasure and duty to cordially cooperate, as
you do, in this benefcent movement And, in
readjusting your State politics so as to bring
about more cordial and fraternal relations be-
tween the sections and the States" the promise
in the peoration of your platform will stir the
blood OF patriotic hearts North and South
alike, where 1t guarantees that, with the vic
tory OF your organization
Virginia invites all men into her borders as
visitors or to become citizens without fear of
social or political ostracism,- that every man
from whatever section or country shall enjoy
the fullest freedom of thought, speech, politics
and religion,-and that the State which first
formulated these as fundamental in free gov
eminent is yet the citadel for their exercise and
protection"
Yours truly, SCHUYLER CoLFAx.

ANOTHER AMERICAN VIcToRY-The victo-
rry of Mir. Lorillard's horse Iroquois in the
Derby race was duplicated by another Ameri-
can horse on the 18th, Mr. James r. Keene's
fine three-year-old FoxllalI having crossed the
channel and carried off the grand prize of Par
is, which, like the Derby in England, is the
most valued prize contested for on the French
turf Some of the best English and French
stables were represented in the event, whilst
America had but one representative, which
proved the winner. Fordham an excellent
Jockey, had the mount on Foxhall, whilst
Archer, the most successful jockey of the pres
ent century, rode the French horse Tristan
Tor all that he was worth, and came in only
head behind the winner For American horses
TO have won the Derby and the Prix de Paris
Inc same year is an extraordinary turf event,
and cause for congr atulation for the lovers
OF racing, whilst at the same time the national
price must be tickled at the result That the
breed OF American race-horses has been much
improved during the past decade is not only
attested by many excellent time records re.
Gently made in this country, but by the sue
cesses of Parole, Iroquois, Foxhall and others
across the water, Who have won whilst con-
testing against the best English and French
race-horses.-Bak. Sum-
Mr.. Keene, the owner of Foxhall is a brother
in-law of Capt. Foxhall A. Dangerfield, of
Harrisonburg, in compliment to whom the
horse was doubles snamed Capt. Dangerfeld
is an extravaganza admirer of horse flesh.

The Issues of $780,

The issues of 1869 to which MT Kelley
refers in his address, were the ac ,eptance
of the Constitution voted for In Il lat con-
test and the personnel of the. candi dates of
the respective parties. The. ssTrue' Repub-
Ecan," the same as the Conservative party
of later times, professed t,o shape it's canvass
on Gen. Grants policy the am endments
to the National Constitution, and the ac-
ceptance,.i in good iaitf., Of all the results Of
the war. The Constitution adopted as a
part of that policy, Irovided for manhood
suffrage, and that the qualifications for
voters provided for in that instrument
should never be altered so as to abridge any
right therein stipulated for. Grimes recog-
nized as felony by the common law worked
disfranchisement. There was no captation
tax restriction; no petty larceny and whip
ping post inhibition upon the ballet. These
were fashioned after the 'sTrue Republi-
cam party badbf en- inst Allied in authority,
and had changed its nomenclature to that
OF Conservative Republican votes and Re-
publican sympathy gave it power, and the
power thus qllired was perverted to fix a
price upOn the ballot and corrupt this foun-
tain source of governme mt. Let his party de-
clare for theui and rede EN- the pledges thus
made. The people then understood that
there was to. be no change In the conditions
of the elective franchise. The constitution
Of the coWltry and the laws OF Congress so
declared. The Constitution of the State
provided for the same. 1t is infidelity to
these pledges which has created all this
connection In Virginia politics. Let the
Conservative party retcace its steps-vindi-
cate it's own good faith, declare for remov-
ing tie restr lotion upon the ballot; abolish
the whipping-post, and place itself where it
stood in the contest oflS69, where the Con-
slit ution commands it should stan d, and be
as liberal as any other party, Within the linn
its OF the laws of the country. 1t it docs
not this fight will go on, at whate, 'er cost.
until the pledges Of 1869 are redeem led, and
the faith then declared yndicated. There
can and will be no compromise in these
matters. Each recurring election year will
witness the same struggle, the same deter
mined purpose to reirstate the conditions OF
1863, until the Constitution and laws reflect
the public faith and obligations OF the State.
