tt?” Tomorrow is the day for our
municipal election, and we place before
our readers two tickets for their choice;
one, the nominated ticket, and the other
an independent anti-party ticket. We
shall say nothing for or against either, as
our citizens are all well acquainted with
the candidates and will vote as they think
best.

CT* 1 The Whig members of'the Gener
al Assembly, ol Virginia, and the Whig

ol Richmond. Y
07“ The “ Riley” of the Democrat is
out upon us with all the venom of a viper,
because some of the sovereign voters ol
our city do not like the nominations for
Mayor and Aldermen, ofSatuiday night
week, Why he should come out as he
does and pour out liis “ vial of wrath”
upon “our devoted head” lor the actions
of others, or what he expects to profit
himself or liis party by so doing we are j
I unable to divine. We can but imagine!
titat lie feels agrieved at not being notnis
naied lor one or the other, of the ;
offices in question, and like all other
disappointed office seekers, makes a
wanton uncalled lor-alttuk upon his best
friends first, pouring out a profuse mass
of abuse upon ourself and other imagina
ry members of the Constitutional Union
Party of our city, in regard to a call
fora meeting of the citizens to nominate
candidates fur Mayor and Aldermen
which appeared in our paper oi the 6tlt
lust., he says “yJt whose instance the
notice was published we are no! pre
pared to say—but if it w. s not unlawful
to tell (ales out of school, we should say
that somebody said it was at the iaslance
of the Cromwell of the Georgian and Ins
confidential*, to nominate a lull Uuion
ticket.’ Now how this wonderful disci
ple of light, learned this, we eannot im
agine—but we do imagine jfftat he never
learned it at all, and we would not be a
fraid to wager our old hnt against a
months board at thp “ Spinkaskin Ho
tel,” that he does not believe it himself,
The very proceedings of that meeting
will disprove his assertion, h lie so
simple a$ to believe that if such motives
liod been entertained by the Union men
in that assembly or any portion of them,
that one of their leading members would
have made a move, us he did, to organ
ize the meeting by calling a fire-eater to
the chair? If he does, lie is a greater
Judy than we believ ed him to be. If it
had been the desire of the Union men of
this city, to nominate “a full Union
Ticket ’as he says it was, lliey would
certajply haye called a meeting ol the
Constitutional Union parly, and uot of
“the t itijens ol Oglethorpe” and they
would ha ye held secret meetings before
hand and made ‘private arrangements,
but no such meetings were held by the
Union party.
The secret of the whole affair, we be
lieve is, that the Editor o.f the Democrat is
afraid dig Mechanics ticket will be elect
ed, and in such an event he would have
to submit to laws made by men who he
no doubt believes, (to use a homely
phrase) “ have not sense ppough to carry
guts to a bear.”
In relation to our own nagie being on
the Mechanics ticket, we will only suy
that after long persuasion by aeveral of
our warmest Iriends, we consented for it
to be placed (here ; not because we were
opposed to the nomination of Saturday -
nighl-week, but because we were dispos
ed to gratify the wishes of some of that
honorable portion ol our community—
the Mechanics in gelling up a ticket to
their liking. Ffow we would say |q the
terrified gentleman, that we do not rare
a fig whether we are elected or Hot, for
we do not believe that the office would
either immortalize or make us rich. We
have not the least desire to fill the station
w hile there are so many others anxious
l>r it. who have the time attd ability to
occupy it with credit to t Items, Ives and
honor to our city. An d line we will
take occasion to remark that we hope
our name will not be used, as our husi
ness will not allow us to fulfil the duties
of the office, even if we were otherwise
qualified.
la conclusion we would simply say to
the “ Riley” of the Democrat, that from
what we have been able to ‘pickup,’
his ostensible efforts to make a political
issue of our municipal election, wijple a
total failure, as the sovereigns ol our city
will support merit—not party.
Washington, Feb. 6.—lt is noticed
that since the last of January, there have
been no considerable transfers of the U
, nited Stales storks to loreigners, but
that a large amount of United States
stocks held abrod have been purchased
by citizens of the United States. This
would show that (he money prssure in
this country is over, and that United
States stocks are worth more here than
abroad. The anticipation of troubles in
Europe led to great demand abroad for
United Stales stocks, but the apprehen
sion in Europe of revolution and com
motion no longer exists, as we see from
the fact that the French attd othei for
eign funds are rising, and that credit,
public and ptivute, is on unusually sta
ble basis.
it will be seen that English capitalists
ate making large investments in gold
bearing lands in California. Some of the
companies concerned are sending out
skilful mines and improved machinery
for operations in the quartz rock.
Several of the States of (he Union have
lately enacted laws to enable foreigners
to hold real estate within their limits,
and this policy, should it become gener
al, will have ihe effect to bring much
I foreign, capital jnlo this country.

A Prediction. —Recent events have
called to recollection the following pre
diction of Victor Hugo ; —“ A day will
come when the only battle field shall be
the market open to commerce, and the
mind open to new ideas. A day will
come when a cannon shall be exhibited
in public museums, just as an instrument
of torture is now, and people shall be
I astonished how such a thing could have
been. A day will come when two im
mense groups, the United States of A
merica and the United Slates ol Europe,
shall he seen placed in the presence of
each other, extend the hand ol fellowship
across the ocean, exchanging their pro
ducej their industry, their arts, their ge
nius, clearing the earth, peopling the
deserts, meliorating creation under the
eyes of the Creator, and untiring for the
good of all; these two irresistible anti
indefinite powers, the fraternity of men
and the power of God.”
