In town in England; but after giving up hopes
Oh MS return, she removed, with her only daugh-
Ter, to her native Country. (Sco.and). In the
course OF years probationer Of the Church of
scotland CAME to ofiiciate as missionary in the
parish, and formed an attachment for Miss S.
seeing no immediate prospect of obtaining a
church at Homo, he resolved on TRANSFERRING him

From the Lynchburg Virginian.

GOVERNOR DoRR.-Thc Richmond En-
qurer, few days ago. denied that this man is
an Abolitionist. Now we distinctly re-afiirm
:, that he was formerly an officer of an Abolition
Society in Rhode Island, and that he was nom
mated by an Abolition Convention as can
didate for Congress, and ran Jointly upon their
ticket and tina, of the Loco Foco party
A letter from Washington to the Aliledge-
vile Recorder on this subject, says: 81 wrote
you that the rebellion was the work of the
Abolitionists; that Dorr was one--the Presi-
dent Of the Society, and formerly their can
didate for Congress. The constitution which
they have adopted provides that tie right of
trial, by jury, 10 fugitice slapes," (Which Vr-
ginia complains of so loudly in New ork,
and against which she has leveled her retalia-
tory Iegislation,) .sshaH forercr remain inrto-
late" This, you know, is the great Abolition
principle; and this is what the rebellion is for,
after all At present, the laws of Rhode Is
land allow no such right, and the legal con-
stitution allows none such'' This remark a
bates something of the surprise which we have
heretofore felt, AT the manifestation of so much
hostility, by the Dorr party. to the legal con-
stitution, when so far as the right of sugr0ge
is concerned, that constitution differs from
their own only in requiring f,co gears resi-
Gence, instead of one, as qualification in a
non-freeholder-a difference so insignificant
as scarcely to justify serious opposition, and
certainly not important enough to warrant
violent and bloody resistance. But there is
'an important difference, it seems. in another
point, between the constitution rejected by
Dorr and his party, and that which they are
sendeavoring to thrust down the tllroats of the
people, by The "sDo-1'' One withholds the
right of jury trial to fugitive slaves, and the
,other grants it, and holds it invoate ! Sure
ay the Enquirer, and other Southern sympa-
thizers with the Dorr faction, will see that thew
have been duPed, by party zeal, into most
ridiculous attitude. Some of the Southern
members of Congress, of that party, looked
more narrowly into the matter before they
took the leap which would have identified
them, In action at least, with the enemies of
the South. The correspondent of the MIL
9edgeville Recorder says: 1.-THE (Rhode Is
land) question has divided the Vanites in
Congress. Mr.. Walker of Mississippi, said,
day before yesterday, that the time had come
when there would have to be another organ-
cation of parties.-Mr. Calhoun said yester-
day, that it was ali infamous abolition move
ment" We sJm3'attizc with the Enquirer
upon the unfortunate Predicament into which
its affinities have led it. Where was its won't
ed prudence Homer, for once, nodded

BuENos AyREs.-We hardly ever chronicle the
revolutions that take place in the South American
States; but one that has just occurred in Buenos
Ayres deserves notice from the extensive assassi-
nations which followed, estimated at or 300 in
that city alone, by the triumphant party. The
threats Of men OF the obnoxious party were cut in
the street. and they were butchered wherever
found. The President, Rosas. had issued de-
cree disapprovng of these atrocities. 1t will not
be long before it will be his turn.
