Hy the way, how is it that we receive this magazine so irregularly ? Ma. Ashe's Dixlixation. As intimated by the press of the district, 3Ir. Ashe, after he had written his letter of declination, was induced lo authorize the committee to withhold its publi atwn for a few dajsqruntil his return from a . journey which be was about to make. During liis abseoce he has maturely reconsidered the matter, and has finally determined not to accept the Domination. We are sorry that he has been compelled to come la such a decision -r but there is no help tor it, nor is there time to waste in unavailing regrets. In our next issue we expect to have at our maat- head the name of a man who possesses the confi dence of the public, and who, if the people do their duty, will represent them in the next Con gress of the United States. Wadissoso', May 21, 1859. Grminn : Toot letter anaoaoeing to me tbe fact of dj nomination by the Convention of Whigs, that met iu Charlotte on the 18th iusL, as a candidate to represent una lhatnet in Congress, , waa received by ! nr ubjceki 'jui , um iwuii j uu luciuuininceneul nas affected me witb no little surprise; fur 1 had Deter ti ls wed myself to anticipate auch a result to their de-lihratiQns. 1 regret exceedingly tiie choice nf the Conrention f has fallen en me, whose taste aod inclinations lead al together In a different path ; for so complimentary U ' the manner in which the nomination his been made, that it is with the most sioeere reluctance I feel mycelf constrained to decline, Having never bad the vanity to admit the proba bility of my Domination by the Conrention, I had not thought seriously upon the subject nntil since the re ception of your -letter ; bat after surveying the whole ground calmly and deliberately, while I am not in sensible to the obligations Under which tbe nattering action of tbe Convention ha placed me, I cannot be unmindful of other dutiea and obligations of a para mount nature, tbat put it out of the question for1 me to accept. There are many reiaons influencing me to the - adoption of this course tbat it would not be prof .t to mention here, and I therefore crave the indulgenlfor fcearnnee of my friends. , I still hope some one of the many true Whigs of the District, more able than I to do battle for tbe good cause, may come forward, who will find it less incon sistent with his interest, duties and inclinatiena, to take the field. My declining this nomination is not the effect of any misgiving as to the soundness of the principles tbat have al ways been advocated by the party to which I have belonged ; and though for the past few j year, in consequence of the dissolution of -the Whig party, I bare kept somewhat aloof from an active par- j nc: pmion in the political contests of the day.

A. Just this, that men. Generally, are uf yonr opinion that the times are to bad that they can not be worse, and therefore mnst begin to mend. 13. Is that itf A. That is just it. But do you really desire that times should be better? B. Of course I do. Why do jou ask that' question t A. Because it depends upon yourself. i B. On me ! You are mistaken, friend, for if it depended on me, they would have been better long ago. , ' r A. No, I sni not mistaken. It depends on yon, on me, on all, individually. B. I should like to. understand you. I con fess I do not. "A. I will explain. Do you see yonder moun tainthe Blue Ridge J B. I see it, and hare traversed it more than once. ' A.

Well, Mr. Tierce was elected, and served bis four years, and then, you elected James Bu chanan 1 I ask jou, now, just to institute a com parison between the condition of the eon o try now and then. I cannot enter into all the miontia of the thing now. It is enough to know that, whereas, six yean ago, wo, as a nation, were prosperous, contented and happy, note, we are an unhappy, discontented people unfortunate at all points detested abroad our flag insulted tbe name of American a passport to insult and con tumcly while at home, the President whotuidere-of true Democracy, men whose fidelity t 9" While the Southern Looofoco papers, says tbw Baltimore Clxpptr, ar ankiaa desperate ef fort to throw dust inter the eyes cf tbe people and raise a terrible out-cry about the " coalition of (fie Opposition and Black Republicans," it would bo well for them to remember who are the leaden of the Republican party. A little retro spect will show that Democracy ha " laid itself at the mouth" of Btaok Kcpoblieaoism ready to be swallowed by the awful monster. Martin Van Buren, the once trusted and honest leader of the whole PemawFaiw party, was th architect of the Buflalo platform upon which tbe Republican party was subsequently erected; John Van Burca boasted that he had laid the cornerstone of this abolition structure. Throughout all the North the living acting and most fanatical leaden of abolition Republicanism are men who only a little while ago were the acknowledged expoua- united ? B. Yes your party elected has become a mere puppet in the bands of .political gamblers and secret wire pullers deserted by the rospeo table portion of bis party, hated and detested by the very men who placed nim in power, and whom ht uses all the power of the Government to defeat and dis tract. Is this no! so? B. I cannot deny it. I wish I could. AV So do I. For the credit of my country, I would tbat these things wen not. But they art, and what is worse, you and other members of your party will vote to perpetuate this erne! sys tem of spoils and plunder, when yon know that it is your duty to break the shackle of party which hare entailed upon us all these evils, and come out on the side of right and jest ice. I would not be tbe moral coward yon are for all the world. . -B. Coward ! A. I said moral coward. Yon are so bound by the chains of party tbat you dart not do what your conscience tells you yon ought to do. It is this tfarery lo party which ha wrought all the mischief; for if all these miserable politiciant knew that their acts would be tried by men, free and unurammeled by tbe chains which the des potism ot party has rivctted -upon -them, they would not dare to do the deeds which trow they do with barefaced impunity, knowing that they have got yon, and others like you, so drilled and A. Well, now, don't vou see that if we are t "led that you dare not go against the party really desirous to improve the condition of our j I J00 thtt Democracy is a despotism more country, that all that is necessary is union io ihc despotic than that of Russia, and will eventually right direction.

Bui what of its Democratic successor? Now, these Demo cratic journals and politicians are perfectly at nberty to prove the wildest extravagance upon the Black Republican House of Representatives of 1855-7, since a Democratic Senate, and a Demo cratic President are equally responsible for such extravagances. No saoney can be drawn from the Treasury but in pursuance of law. It hi true that the contingent fund of the House of Representa tives, when it once gets into their possession, is under their control, but tbe Senate must first pass tbe bill, and the President sign it, before they get possession. ow, if these Black Republicans were wssting so much money, why did not the Democracy arrest the evil either in the Senate or it the ExeeutiveMansion fWharwifrH avail ,'hese Democratic presses to prove that their . l 1 1- LI.

If the material victory still remains in tbe hands of the Democracy, it must be admitted that theiropponents have achieved all th moral ad vantiges of a decisive triumph, and have left to th conquerors only the poor eonsolation of Pyrrhos, when, after the onset of the Roman legions, he ex claimed, "Another such victory and I am undone.'1 Entering upon the recent canvass with all the pres tige of that invincibility which belongs 'to those who have never lost a battle, and flushed with the remem brance of a recent success beyond all precedent, tbe Democracy of, Virginia have seen their majority of twenty-nine thonsand in the last presidential election dwindle down to a few hundreds, if it has not entirely disappeared. If is not for us at present to comment on all the causes which have conspired to bring about this remarkable revolution, so promising to tbe pat rons of a sound and conservative opposition to. the party in power; but we may at least "improve" th present occasion so far aa to say that if the Whig party ia "dead," aa our Democratic friend have been so confidently and persistently asserting, it would none th lesa seem that there exist a very respectable body of citiiena' in Virginia who, for some reason, prefer an "Old line Whig"toT'modern Democrat. A the Whigs, when alive, fought no more bravely aad never more auecesafully than they ar seen to do in their present posthumous state, the result of the re cent contest iu Virginia deserves perhaps to be cited j a a most remarkable illaatriatioa of th "railing pa- sion tironf ia aeain. isenaia at least it Is that op position to tb Democracy doe not aeea to hav died with the 'alleged deal f it ancient foe. eaj" According to the Democratic organs in Ken tusk V. the triumnh of the Onrmitinn ... ia placed beyond a doubt. One-half of tbe Dem ocratio papers in that State, says the Journal, protest that if the Democratic State ticket i a ooa intervention ticket it will Oertainly be beaten ; and the other half protest that it w a non-intervention tickets ; Republic from the evils of both, snd we care uot . toungesl of th brothers, but eeold not Both are sectional parties, -Both have aided in keeping this land distraoted and divided, lkilb have labored to create and inflame sectional ani mosities, and wa elaim that both are unfit to be trusted by a people desirous to cultivate the arts, and receive the rewards of peace. . The masses want repose, and we look to those masses to put down agitation, snd rebuke the men who have for years lived upon it, no matter from what section they hail. The Democratic press are uncon sciously aidiug in tbe good work by proving that none of them can be trusted even with the care of the public mooey. ScePth impression among well-informed Demo crats is, that the Democracy of th Sixth district have nothing to fear, provided they do their duty. Bat steps should be token to thoroughly orgaais in the counties. It will not do to denend alone an former majorities.

The people have found this out, and are determined to make you take tbe route "step." Their eyes are opened. Your " perpetual vigilance" bad nigh lost you Virginia. What is the moral of all this ?
