We know of no other ex "stinsr publication which is solely de voted to the mssemination of correct political principles. It is partisan only in belie ving that the Republican Party is full j as capable of servm the Government in accordance with the wishes of the people as any other existing political organization. In all other r espects it endeavors to elicit the absolute truth, and strives to point out the better way for poli tical conduct upon all disputed ques tions. Its essay on the National hx penditures for the last fiscal year, is a full and rans exnioit aiuce, useiu to the stump orator and the qmet citizen. It also contains a masterly condensation upon the Growth and Wealth of the United ' States, taken from the late census, and which is well worth the price of the number. Its principal aim is to lead its readers to the formation of independent judgement, and to emancipate them from the readymrde opinions of the ..

The presant'number comprises nearly a hundred pages of reading matter inclusive of the Appendix, in which will be found Mr. Garfield's Speech on Expenditures, and those of Messrs. Hellogg ana x on, on f inance. My Dear sir : Permit me to call your attention to the attempt made by the- Democratic Legisla ture of Virginia in the passage of a law pivnrg a uew charter to the ci ty of Petersbu rg, the provisions of which are intended to nullify the laws of the United States ex tending suffrage to the colored people, but , which was defeated by the veto of the Governor of the State. The ruling motive for the pass age f this law, as explained by our Democratic papers here, was to tako the government of the cit out of the hands of the people, because the majority of those peo ple happen to lie Republicans. N"ow, a more barefaced attempt at usurpation can not well be con ceived, and it is a process of en slaving the negroes that has been carried on steadily by the Democ rats of thistate since they came into powcr All the cities and towns of this State - have been kindly cared for hy our Legisla ture, and all tjie Republican coun ties have been treated in the same way. This foul crime against the laws of the United States and the liberty of the people has been going on in open day for yeariu this State ; and, though we have raised our voices in protest and called the attention of our Repub lican in the nation to this unrebuk- ed conspiracy carried on in open day, still the crime increases. I have long thought that our sup posed weakness caused our words to be d i s rega rd ed , and that th e great Republican party tillv re mains true to the fundamental principle of liberty tortlie people. upon which it was originallv built. I supposed that our party, like become more and more devoted to the fundamental idea ot its being as it grew in .power" and permanency. 1 saw the old Dem ocratic party row strong in the advocacy of slavery ; and, as it grew strong in yealtii and num bers, its devotion to slavery be came more and more intense. In like manner I expected to see our party grow more intense fin its devotion to libertv. As the Democratic partyx received con stant accretions trom le?s stable parties, so also I have expected to see the Republican party in crease in the land. The reverse seems to be truth in respect to the Republican party under every specification. AVhy isthis? Care we not fr principle i Nowvtliat the case in Virginii has been brought to your notice and to that of the nation, some thing ought to be said on the sub ject of these usnrpatiens. I hnd tli e Ixew York Times and other Republican papers publishing Kemper's veto and the whole pro ceeding, and yet the. editorials speak not a word about the at tempted outrage, no commenda tion of Kemper s manly act I can not account for. this except upon the grounds that our friends are discouraged over the experi ment in favor ot ltbei tyias illus trated in South Carolina and Lou isiana. This shnuldx not be. l hev should correct tlnr errors and take on more zeal. South Carolina has done badly, and who that iiu'lerstanus the matter ex pected otherwise? Not I. Let us not turn back on these poor, un fortunate people. It is a crime to nbiindon them. Mv plan is to educate thcin ; for without educa tion they can not vindicate the wisdom of our policy ; and then let our leaders take .hold of this extravagance prevalent in Repub lican States and tell the chief men engiged in it that it must stop Our leading Republicans in Washington can stop it if they dpire to Will they ? I am an xious about this matter, for if w allow the arrogance of the Demo crats and the profligacy of selfish Republican leaders at the Sonti to succeed the former will get sort of slavery, now growing up, will he firmly established at the South, or a new war made neces sary. ; I beg you, it you see this mat ter as it is and us I see it, to bring to bear some adequate influence to arouse our people. It is in its tendencies a serious matter. Truly yours. ? We quite agree with the writer as to the danger impendingy but we are not so" confident that the remedy proposed the action of leaders at Washington will prove adequate. Thatintelligent and united action on the part of the leaders at the capital would be of great service we readily con cede, but to make it eft'ective to the accomplishment of the great task proposed by the writer, the cordial, -united .'and energetic action of the Republicans of the South is absolutely essential. Washington Republic. Rally. The approaching campaign in this State promises to be as heated as it is rmportant, and if the Re publicans are as active as they have been in former elections, victory is almost certainly theirs and the State will be redeemed from the hands of those who by trickery and fraud have had con trol of it for the past four years. Thai: the State is Republican be yond theshadow of a doubt, is proved bythe Gubernatorial and Presi den tiafclecti oris, and the Democratic majority in the last Legislature was jisnu rely obtain ed by disgraceful gerry-mander of the Districts and by xtnekery and fraud. Shall this rmiiority band of -unscrupulous tricksters continue to rule the State in tlieJ Legislature ? When their course anToarirotliKrneyll3rfi cd in class legislations, in doing no good for the State at large, we feel assured the people will say, & thousand times no ! It behooves the Republicans, therefore, to make every eflort to t r Ui m ph i n th e co mi n g el e cti o n . To do this thing they must or ganize, or rather, revive and keep up their oftl organization the force of which their enemy ha so otten felt. Let every Dis trict, County and Township look to their interest. If your district or coun ty has gone Democratic before, it makes no difference ; organize, the people were thei. de ceived by the false promises of the Democrats and believed the' in tended to do something for them. They cannot be deceived again and a strong effort on 3onr part will overcome any ordinary ma jority they ma' have. To all Re publicans, ' we say, orgauize and let your organization be complete. The last Legislature tried to deny to many-of yoirthe right to vote by requiring yon to -produce a known witnessfwho wouldwear to anything almost, concerning you, that a challenger ma ask him. Let the organization be so complete that this law shall fail in its arbitrary intention and every one enjoy the right guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the State and the United States. In Republican Districts and Counties the party organization must be at tended to and made complete, that there may be no , more fall ing off when the day of .election comes. Let the breaches in our rar.kW be closed up, personal di f ferences buried and everything made towork together for the common good, and we are safe. When thiVi accomplished, the candidates should be thought of, and your selections should be the very best available men.' Xot simply men who desire office but the most competent, reliable anoT popular men the best men in everv respect. " Wire, puffing" nmstbe abohshed as far as possi ble and the people's voice listened to in the nomiuatingconyentions. Take a man's whole Jife into con sideration, select man upon whom Republican party ,wtll tell the peo ple about the beaious crimes of Democracy andnot mince words in telling, them, men who know their duty and knowing dare r perform itv men of intelligence, honesty and integrity. Simple service to the party will not, do, although must carry its weight and add to other recomendations, bat be ware of traitors, wolves in sheep's clothing men who are not of the stamp we have recommended, but are Republicans tor office and no thing else. With these two, a a complete organization aud good, reliable candidates, the banners of the Democracy can and will be made to trail in the dust and the broad, glorious standard of Republicanism wave in triumph. A Conntryman hi Town. HOW SQTjntK 8XAGQ3 GOT TIM "PHARAOH XXX. 8XIKXXD M - til Time to Slop. We think it about time for Democrats to stop talking about the Legislature of 1868, and com plaining ot the evils entailed upon the state by that body. Since it;s last session, the Democrats have had two Legislatures ; and al though the Governor has- been a Republican, he has no veto, and could not prevent the passage of any law, that the two Demo cratic Legislatures might wish to pass. Great things were promised to the people, it they .would hurl the Republicans from power: but what has been accomplished by Democratic success ? The peo ple are in absolutely a worse con dition, to-day, than they were in 1870 ; nor have the Democratic law- makers done a single thing to lessen their sufterings Let us therefore, hear, no' more ot the evil doings of the only Republi- an .Legislature mat ever sat lp New Worth State.
