nhabitants of Indiana will, at no very distant day, find ample remuneration for a temporary privation of labor and emigration." These are the views of a great Statesman and (we are almost tempted to say) prophet. When this report was written, Indiana was comparatively a wilderness. In sixty-two years it has become one of the most popular States in the Union, far excelling Virginia, a part of whose territory she originally was, and by one of whose sons it was won from the Crown of Great Britain. At his death, Mr. Randolph emancipated all his negroes by will, and provided for their future support. The apparent inconsistency of holding slaves and being opposed to slavery was, in his case, as it was in that of many other Virginians, apparent only. Mr. Randolph knew not what to do with his slaves if he should emancipate them, and all his contemporaries were a similar quandary. It cannot be denied that a great change took place in the mind of Virginia during the last years o

That this labor, demonstrably the dearest of any, can only be employed to advantage in the cultivation of products more valuable than any known to that quarter of the United States; and your committee deem it highly dangerous and inexpedient to impair a provision wisely calculated to promote the happiness and prosperity of

Charlottesville, again, has in its neighborhood, only three miles distant, Monticello, the seat of Thomas Jefferson, and his tomb, which the pilgrims of liberty will visit for ages with the devotion of Mahometans to Mecca. On the other hand, Staunton, if she choose, can recall the fact, not generally known, that Washington looked to that region as the citadel of the Independence about which Jefferson only wrote, and that he declared, "Give me but a standard, and let we plant it on the mountains of West Augusta, and I will yet rescue the cause of my country from its enemies."

When the Charlottesville travels abroad, he can say with pride that his town is only four hours ride from the Sebastopol of America, the classic ground of the New World's history, for the possession of which the mightiest armies of the world contended for four long years. On the other hand, the Stauntonian can declare that he is next door to General Jackson's county, and that the most famous brigade that made Richmond classic came from behind the stone-walls of his wild and romantic county. Charlottesville, on her side, can boast the greatest University of the South, a famous seat of learning, which has educated many of the great statesmen and scholars of the Southern States. Staunton can set this off by a lunatic asylum, the inmates of which have more sense than most people outside. It has already a much larger number of occupants

Charlottesville has the advantage of being nearer to Richmond, from whiich it is distant only eighty-five miles, whilst Staunton is one hundred and sixteen miles from this great centre of art and civilization.

We are not certain that we give the exact words, for they are so rarely quoted that we cannot vouch for their accuracy. Charlottesville, too, is a place of Revolutionary renown.

s stream, which, however, when excited, has sometimes threatened to carry away the town. During the late war, both Charlottesville and Staunton had a good many more Northern visitors than they are ever likely to have again. Staunton, we believe, has the advantage in this respect, having entertained a succession of cavalry and infantry can only boast of a solitary cavalry parade. One of the chief glories of Staunton has disappeared since the introduction of railroads. The innumerable stage coaches, which would have delighted the heart of the elder Mr. Weller, and made it a perfect horse heaven, have departed to the regions of the setting sun. What the commercial prospects of the two towns are in the future, we do not care to inquire. We dare say that neither of them will become a Tyre or Babylon, but they may be content if they always remain as they are, the homes of a population which few of the great hives of commerce can equal in all the qualities which ennoble human nature.
