LoCoFoco FAITH AND CONSISTENCY.

The Wings in Congress were blamed loudly
for enacting the One-hOur rule. 1t was declared
TO be vilanous gag, restricting the freedom of
speech, and deprlving the members of the right
to be heard in behalf Of their constituencies
though sensible man could not say all he had 10
say In an hour as well as in five. Yet no sooner
have the Locos obtained the ascendancy, than
they re-enact this same one hour rule, which had
so long been an abominaticn and outrage in the
sight OF their followers! Not a word Of com
plant is heard from one Of their papers, as far as
we have noticed
And more than this, the 2lst Rule, c:ccluding
.21ohfion petitions, which the Wing Congress re-
fused TO rescind, is about TO be r, secluded by the
Democratic majority, and not word will be said
on that score! 1t is necessary that MIR Van Buren,
should conciate the Abolilionis,s at the North 4:
and MIR. BeaIdsley, his righl-hand man in Con
Sress, now declares, what Mr.. Clay maintained
was the true policy all along, that the hes. way
to disarin those who complained that the right 0f
Petition had been violated is to receive their
petitions and report upon them! Shall we hear
any thing more than protest from the Enquirer
on this subjectl Will that paper not be as arden,
for Mr.. Van Buren as ever, though it must see
that this movement is designed 10 operate upon
the AbolitiOnsts We ask the impartial reader
10 unite these things.-Ipin. Repub.

KIDNAPPING IN WIyCHEsTER

One of the boldest and most successful al
Temps at kidnapping, we have known, was
undertaken in this town on Wednesday night of
last week. Some fortnight or more since, man
who registered his name as G. Turner made his
appearance in Winchester, having apparently no
kind OF business with any OF our white citizens
After remaining day or two at banners Hotel,
his conduct was rather singular and created sus-
p:cions that all was not right. He left, however
as appears, without informing any one where he
was going, and was not heard Of until Thursday
the 2lst, wnen it seems lie had returned to Win
chester the night before, and succeeded in carrv-
ing off six negroes, belonging to Bushrod TAYLOR,
Esq. The negroes were not missed until about
/ o'clock on Thursday, and immediate steps were
taken TO pursue them. Messengers were des-
patched TO many parts of the country, and upon
the arrival OF two in Chambersburg, Pa, they
man, had left In the cars for Philadel phia, four
hours before. Thus it would appear that the ne
groes must have started at an ea,ly hour in The
night, and travelled all night with considerable
speed.
a letter was received here on Monday Christ
mas day) post-marked PhiladeIp ha, in which the
writer stated that MIR. 'Taylors servants had safe
iy arrived In that place on Thursday night, and
that MIR. i. need not trouble himself about them
as they were well ard on their way TO Canada
This letter was directed to free negro man. and
stated that some would be on again in a f. w
days, TO take oil several other blacks.
| 1t is supposed by some, that the man engaged
! IN this kidnapping is an aboliiionist who was
tried some time ago in Annapolis, Nd, for SINH
lar efforts TO carry off negroes. 1t is also said
that a man answering the description has been
arrested in Chambersburg, and gentleman has
/ gone on from this place to identify him. We hope
/ he may be caught and made 10 receive the sever
est penalty of the law.
If the man arrested should prove to be tho gull
ty one, we have no doubt Gov. Mcdowell will at
once send a requsion to Gov. Porter, Of Penn
sylvania, demanding the prisoner a fugitive from
I justice.-Repu6. IF Ffiday.
