•ftttthtg tftate Jottmat AT No. 12H MAit Sr:;:"'r, T_ir_rMnvn, Virginia THE I'ANVASV Fi. m all portions of the State our friend send lis words of good cheer; and we inak no empty boast when we repeat that Ri publican principles are now more (borough ly understood and generally approved i Virginia than at any previous time. Wherever our canvassers ha\ c met ihei Democratic opponents, after a few attempt lo reply to the solid ar .umciiLs advance on behalf of Republicanism, its advcrsarlc have been driven back on their usual lin of defence, vituperation and abuse, attack ing individuals not principles, raising (ills issues, instead of meeting real issues. The press of the Slate has attacked th government, as oppressive in its lotion against law-breaking and murderous Ku- Klux, ignoring alike facts and testimony. Many of our friends blame in lor not spreading before the public the volumes of testimony given by willing and unwilling witnesses before the Congressional com mittee and courts of law. We have n<_ space, even to publish such brief abstract as would give the names of the victim date and p'aco of outrage; and we also I slirink from this, because we do not desire i such a black record to be made a part of j our published annals, anxious to remove i the cause rather thau expose the disease. Weak antl groundless attacks have been made against the government, charging it oppressed people of the. South by bur densome and discriminating taxation, but ■0 puerile are these assaults, that the slightest breath of investigation dissipates them as dust before tho wind. The government has been charged with pursuing a policy which has proved injurious to the shipping interests, grounding the complaint upon tho fact, (none regret more than ourselves,) that our merchant tonna i shows a considerable decrease since 18l>: I. We showed most conclusively that the de- crease, which we feel to ba a public mis* fortune, is one of the many calamities which were entailed upon us by Democra- cy and its culminating work—secession. While Democratic papers are urging a system of national linancial policy in rai> ing public revenues, which would inevitably crush our tobacco interests with ruin, and place our industrial manufacturing enter prise, at the mercy of such powerful and wealthy competitors that nothing could prevcut absolute and titter prostrattion wo have striven to the best of our ability to protect our home intere.ts, to encourage manufacturers to extend instead of curtail ing their operations, to save our mechanics from unprotected competition with the j cheap labor af European countries. We have exposed the financial wrongs which have been committed by Demo- cratic legislation in this .Stale, showing that while our public credit has been impaired by violence to our public faith, the public burdens have been increased in the [ire sent, an-1 will become intolerable in the future; that the rights an 1 immunities granted to the mass of our citizens under the constitution, have been denied or re- stricted, to perpetuate power in the haul. of the lew, and if the Democrats do these things in lhe green tree, what will they do We have denounced that proscription on account of birth beyond the borders of ir ginia, and on account of political principles which has disheartened strangers who have sought Virginia as a home, and a field for their industry, and discouraged tho thou sands who would under a different state of affairs, bring their capital and energy to the work of building up our wasted fortune.: knowing that no other means will so all to our taxable property, as lo enable as t.. discharge even our legitimate public o.li We have written earnestly, because we felt deeply our duty has been performed, if not fully, at least faithfully, to the extent of our ability; it is now for the people lo vote as their judgment, on our fair presentation of facts, dictates and not to j be deterred from so voting, either by in- i timidation or deception. We are wailing for the verdict to be ren dered on the 7th of November, anxiously, it is true, but in firm and hopefull anticipa tion that the people will condemn the er rors and wrongs which the Democracy has committed in thu past, and inaugurate a j new, happy, peaceful, and prosperous lii- TIU Republican party is progressive, and at the same time conservative. It pre serves what is good and rejects what is had. It makes progress. It has faith in human ity. |t relies on the masses of the people It seeks to do them good. It makes war j on nothing but evil. It is the evangel of law. It is the stern upholder of order, ll would take care of the present, for neither the past nor the future belongs to man. There is no hope for this poeplo but in nationality. Anarchy comes or .se;. _■.. tion. The law of unity is ihdispcnsibl. t.. human progress. Tho nation goes for- ward, prospers, and is glorious as one. lfj divided it would form a battle-ground of j passions and rivalries and hates that would (.lot out all liberty, and ultimately (____. tute one master for many. When the Congress possess laws to pre serve order and to prevent anarchy, and when the President promptly and sternly enforces those laws, lie preserves liberty. All his fame is identified with liberty, lie has no vulgar ambition to play the despot. The Democratic party is neither pro gressive nor conservative. It learns noth ing in the school of wisdom, and ii forgets nothing in its resentments. It is eminent ly ancient and useless. It mumbles in its old age over State rights, and imagines that secession was a practical success. I. is a clog to humanity. It has no faith iv the many. It thinks the few should rule. It has no patience. It bears no contradic tions. It whips and murders to propagate its dogmas. It is not sincere. It is tar from b.-ing honest. It plunders treasuries, and then, to shield itself, it charges the same crime without foundation on its opp. Humanity would n-trogr.t.le l.v centu ries, and tlie Cnioii itself would fall to pieces, if there were no paitv in this conn try but the Democratic party. —The pecan crop in Texas is a failure. —BruflkM i 1! t.v.isiory l.or-c --—The St. Louis police have drcss-pa tdes. —Florida'- State debt amounted to $1 4, --10,000. —The Columbus ((ia.)
