In the region opposite the Island of Chios,

Malone has both ruled and ruined their
party. Mahoneism is stencil in the nos

wished to preserve the integrity Of his par

in this State, and has weakened and demon
allied it in every State. The morale of the
National Republican party has been to a
great degree destroyed, and the result will
be defeat in the next Presidential election.

as Mr.. Sicily does, to vote against Malone

The Republicans of Virginia should not
forget that no republican paper or politician
IN any other State believes in the cause they
are now supporting.
After the 9th of November, when it will
learn that Malone has not succeeded in
carrying the State, but that he has caused the
ruin of the Republican party in Virginia,
the Valley Vrginian will regret that it ever
deserted the straightout Republicans and
sung hosannas to ''Master'' Malone, and
lauded the coalition-the union of s'Blifil
with Black George" In short time, the
Vwginian will be speaking of it's party as
the Repub lean, and not as the Coalition
party, and it will drop the appellation of
coalitionist and speak of the members of its
party in this State as Republicans. Mark
this prediction, and await its verifcation.
This does not belong to the Virgins class of
prophecies. If this prediction shall not be
verified within year, we will have as much
faith in the Virginian as prophet as in the
SPECTATOR as such.
Unless We be very much mistaken, the
Virgin1an will wish there was no such word
as coalition in the vocabulary ofthe Eng
fish language, and that Malone had never
been born to rule and ruin its party. When
he first took charge Of it, we said that he
would ride it as the Old Man of the Sea rode
Sinbad the Sailor. Sinbad was less IN
fortunate than the Republican party, for
he finally got rid Of the old man Of the sea,
but the Republican party has not yet gotten
rid Of Malone, and will not be for many a
long day.

Don't Cease In Well-d0Ing.

But two short weeks intervene between
this day and the election which is to de-
termine the fate of Virginia. Our party
has worked well so far, but it should not
weary in well-doing, but should work with
increased energy from this time till sunset
on the day of election. All the indications
are favorable for success, and a decisive
victory is within reach, and all that is nee
essary to grasp it is to labor with unremit-
ting zeal and activity till the close of the
polls on the 9th of November.
We are now on the home stretch in the
race, and should exert all our powers till
the goal is reached, and the victory won.
After that there will be plenty of time to
rest, and to eojoy the consciousness of duty
faithfully performed.
Don't wait for others, but go to work
yourself, and do your duty, even though
your neighbor should fail to do his. In
less you do, you may have to reproach your
self severely when it is too late If you do
your whole duty, you will have no reason
to regret your action; but if you fail to do
so, you may regret it sorely. Act as though
the result depended upon your action alone.

upon the officers or leaders, but almost
