and glorious: that flag under which in
Ieeo Won delivered Virginia from the thral-
don, OF the carpet-bagger and scalawag.
II Won are Republican, 60 with Malone.
The Lynchburg Convention gave us plat
form upon which all Democrats can stand
and a leader who will do his duty. Now
let lis, every one, do our duty, ana victory
is assured, Virginia saved.
lIIarr1sonburg Old Commonwealth
The Democracy of Rockingham is fully
alive 70 the work before il; perfect har-
mony prevails; the young Democrats are
taking strong hold upon the work to be
done. Unlike our enemies, our ranks are
not made up Of warning factions. With
lis every man Is ready and willing to lay
aside whatever OF personal ambition he
may cherish for the good OF the party 4;
every Democrat is ready to work in what
ever field assigned him, and without a
murmur, joyfully going to the discharge OF
the duty assigned him, feeling in his heart
that he Is doing a service not only to his
party, but especially to his State. No free
Virginia Democrat wants TO live under the
autocracy Of petty tyrant-a "boss "a
political huckster and trickster. From
this hour forward we march toward We
tory il we do our duty as good citizens
and Democrats.
lLynchburg Advanced
We beseech the people everywhere to lay
aside personal favOritism one year. and to
acIee on the ablest, strongest. and most
popular man in every county and district
as their candidate for the Legislature. And
we also beg our leaders everywhere, for
this one occasion, to leave their merits and
the proper estimate Of them, and the qucs'
ton Of reward for faithful, able service out
OF sight: and il the people demand it, let
our highest, greatest. ablest men consent
to serve in the Legislature this session.
The issue this fall will justify the sacrifice
OF time, money, feelings, preiudices, pre-
ferences, and resentments. Bury all past
differences, forget wrongs. Give one ialPs
work for the salvation OF your State and
the good OF your country. You can serve
your state by serving your party, and in
no other way can you now do so. C0rrup-
ton is sapping the Commonwealth and de-
strovng the rights and liberties OF the peo-
pie. Let us make one move for political
salvation.
(Harrisonburg Old Commonwealth
Mahoneism wanes. The ground is slip
ping from beneath the feet of the Boss. He
sees il, he feels it, he knows 1t. shout,
shout. we're gaining ground" is the eX-
ultent feeling that swells every patriotic
Democratic heart as he looks over the field,
watches the tide OF rolling events, and
weighs the significance Of what he sees.
On our side we have harmony and deter
mination on the other we find discord and
dissolution. MahOne's schemes begin to
fail. He puts in this man and turns out
that nan; he promises the depOSed to find
them other places lin hopes to hold them
until after another eection), but deceives
them. They turn from the fathless
schemer. He dIsplaces straight Republic
cans to make room for doubtful Republican
scalawagS. Thus he oliends honest Repub-
licans. He has caiolcd tie colored voter
with promises. These he has broken, and
the colored voter is writing "faithless
wretch and deceiver" across the name OF
Malone. Thus he disgusts his late colored
allies.
The above constitute but small pro-
portion OF the discordant elements OF the
Malone organization. Composed OF a
mixed and heterogeneous mass OF voters.
with no aim higher than the hope Of Office
and consequent plumber, the respectable
portion is seeking more cOngenial associa-
ton, and the great bugabOo OF coalition
is in fair way TO fail between the con-
tending factions OF his own party creation
and be dcvoured or ground to powder.
How important. then, that Democrat,
shall 90 more earnestly TO work than ever
before; that every one shall work early
and late in the glorious cause; that not Z
moment shall be lost, but that the enemy
shall be pressed, and holly, too, at every
point.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS, IN NRGINM.-W
have no apprchensions regarding the fu
ture political status OF Virginia. There i,
not the sign of cloud on its horizon
This old Commonwealth is Democratic
and will continue to he so in spite Of al
| enemies, without OF within, who may con
trive or counsel.
The brief storm through which we hay,
passed has but served to color the politica
atmosphere, and we should find ourselvc,
all the better for its purifying influences.
The Democratic platform is liberia
/ enough for all men to stand upon.
| The only question now before Us is L
carry the State Legislature in November
next. Everything must be subordinate {
that single issue.
The national election is over wear off
and can bide its time. Ii will evolve II.

and steadily maintain their principle,
without yielding single inch of grounC
or suirendering anything that is esseutia
to the supremacy OF our faith.
Organization should be our great ain
and in the most effectual form. Ever,
county and every district should be thor
oughly canyassed and every man therein
enrolled and mustered into service. an(
this we should do without DELAY. that We
may Know Our real strength and be able tc
distinguish at once our friends from oul
foes. The decentralization caused by the
past two or three campaigns has greatly
confused us in this respect, and is a dis.
tracing cause Of doubt, which must be re.
moved before confidence can be restored
We must be able TO know with whom we
are IN fellowship, whom we can trust. be.
lore we can move far in our work, and this
should Immediately command the attention
OF the party leaders.
The Democrats who have left us, or
sulked, or who have struggled in the rear,
and failed to rally to their standards, must
be looked up, and their present determine
ton known. Many, we know. have re-
turned, and many more we believe will re-
turn to their allegiance as soon as properly
approached. Each Of us, then. must con.
slider himself "a committee OF one on or.
ganization" TO aid in this duty and carry
the work speedily forward. We must not
be idle, indifferent, and apathetic, but put
forth all our energies in the great work OF
redeeming Virginia from the tyranny un-
der which bossism has placed her, and
from the depradafinn Of nnnro rIlla with
