GJ The Harisonburg Republican in a long
article Of low and vulgar abuse directed against
the Vindicator, and which would disgrace the
saying, eff the editor desires to be still further
exposed he has but to write again, and it will be
done" This is a terrible damper to us, but we
will not lay aside our pen for this cause. We
repeat, the influence of the Harrisonburg Repub-
lican can iniure no one--instead of exposing 9TH
ers the editor is only exposing himself, by show
ing how much malice he can exhibit against an
opponent-but we have no time to waste on the
we are after higher game.

EQUALIZING.-Th wings are most capital
arthmeticians. When they set about equalizing
they take all and leave none. They must have
taken lessons from the white man who divided
the Buzzards and Turkeys between himself and
the Indian. To the Indian he never said '.Tur-
key, once.' No doubt that fellow was Wing.

THE ALLEGED ABDUCTION AT New ORLEANS.
A despatch dated at New Orleans on the 22nd
states that the Spanish Consul and two other per-
sons have been arrested and held to bail, on the
charge of having abducted and sent to Havana a
young spaniard by the name of Juan Francisco
Rey. The charge is, that this person was kid
mapped by emissaries from Cuba, and taken to
having formerly been one of the jailors there,
and connived as it is said, at the escape of two
prisoners who were under sentence of death fol-
circulating disloyal documents, &c. The affair
appears to have caused great deal of excite
ment at New Orleans.

DEATH OF A VENERABLE CITIZEN.


Our town and neighborhood have to lament
the death, on Friday last, of VIZ. JOHN WALL,
formerly Postmaster, in the soth year of his age,
after many months Of painful disease. In the
period of the war with Great Britain, he served
a tour of six months, and evmced the same in
domitable career, a character for scrupulous in
tegrity, and died with a reputation Of which
princes might be proud-that of a truly honest
and upright man-Wi,schester Republican

SUDDEN DEATH.-A German residing in
the neighborlood ofSmitifeld in this county,
lost his life on yesterday, in attempting to de-
scend well Of that town. He had scarce de.
scended half way of the well, when the damp
overcame him, and he fell from the walls by
which he was descending. He was taken out
with life perfectly extinct. The person who
went down the well for the deceased, also made
a narrow escape with life. Too much caution
cannot be exercised at this season of the year,
in efforts to cleanse wells, cisterns, &c.

SINGULAR PRoPHEcY.-Lorenzo Dow, of &C.
centric memory, was in possession of German
work on the Prophecies, which he valued highly,
and frequently made quotations from. Among
other remarkable sayings of the author, were
these:
Il would not be king, in 1913"
81 would not be grave digger, in ls49."
Il would not be soldier, i'll 1850"
II would be either, in 1851"
The work alluded to was written about zoo
years ago. 1t certainly possesses an interest fol
the curious How frail the tenure by which
kings held their crowns in 184s! Who would
like the office of grave digger in 1s49, unless he
was solely mercenary? How more than pre-
sumable is it that the military men Of the earth
will contribute multiudes, in 1850, to fill wide
and quiet grave! And we may hope, at least
in 1851, for the fair harbingers which promise
"peace on earth, and good will to men."-Jou

SINGULAR ArFA1R.-A few weeks since, a ia
Their and son, living in Ross county, by the name
of Christy, both Of whom were addicted to intem-
perance quarrelled, and the son beat the father.
The father then ordered the son to leave the prem
Uses, threatening, if he returned, to kill him. The
son did return and the father, true to his word
for once, shot him dead in his tracks. The citi-
mission OF the horrid deed, he left and went into
Clinton county, where he ran at large for two
Or three weeks, until his daughter, who had wit
messed the tragedy, learned his whereabouts fol-
lowed him into Clinton, went before a magistrate,
made oath to the facts, and had her fatherarrest-
ed. At last accounts he was lying in the Gin
ton jail, awaiting the arrival of the Sheriff from
Ross. This case is certainly without parallel
a father beaten by his son, a son shot by his ia
ther, and the father arrested upon the affidavit
of his Observation-Disclosures (O.) Statesman.

THE ALLEGED DEFALcATroN OF Mr.. DENLY
The Washington Union, Of yesterday, thus re-
fers to the alleged defalcation, in the sum OF
1856, sos 49, of Nathaniel DENLY, United States
navy agent at Marseilles, France.
1--WE do not hesitate to express our belief that
the amount of the defalcation may be considera-
bly, over stated. We are personally acquainted,
too with Mr.. DENLY, and we are much mistaken
in his character if he has wiltully robbed the
treasury Of such sum, or even of one cent
The defalcation, whatever be its amount was
not occasioned by robbery, but by the CONNER
cial embarrassment of house in Richmond,
which was to transmit the government funds to
Mr.. DENLY, in France, and that house was ruin
ed because of the ruin which the revolution III
France has brought down upon the house there
to which the Richmond house had made its con-
signments. The drafts We're returned protested
from France, and Mr.. Denby's drafts shared a
similar fate. Such is the account which we have
heard of this transaction and we do not hesitate
to express our firm conviction, that he transact
tion will leave no stain upon the integrity of
Nathaniel DENLY, however liable he may be in
law Oh his official bond.o

Nomatter how competent and faithful in the
special duties OF his Office, the fact OF using it
for other purposes and those OF party character,
of itself would work disqualification and justl-
fy removal. Gen. TAYLOR saw all this and eau
tiously penned the sentence which is paraded
for the purpose of showing "a violation of pedg-
es-a sentence distorted by violent construction.
Spectator
u The sentence referred TO is taken from that
portion of the Inaugural in which Gen. Taylor
speaks of s'henesty, capacity and fdcli5," as be-
ing indispensable prerequisites for the bestowal
of office y and so, too he says the "absence of
either of these qualities shall be deemed suffi-
cient cause for removal" leaving the inference
clear, and we think, indisputable, that no other
cause would be assigned. But the Spectator says
Gen. TAYLOR, in order to remove officers OF ''vl-
client and partizan feelings" who prostituted the
privileges and perverted the facilities Of rhei Of
fees ''in the effort to bring odium upon the Gov
eminent and ':the fact Of using it for other
purposes and those of party character" "saw
all this and cautiously penned the sentence" II
would have been as easy to have spoken out
plainly as to have pennea Il cautious sentence,
to afford getting out place when he should vio-
lated his pledge, and besides, it would have been
more honest, especially wheh the Wing Central
Committee of Virginia, said SGen. Taylor will
engage himself not to lay violent hands indis-
criminately upon public officers, good or bad,
because they differ from him in opinion upon
political subjects" Here is a difference between
the editors OF the Spectator and the Wing Cen
trail Committee of Virginia, upon very material
point in this allegation, but we suppose the edi-
tors did not know their President was pledged
not to do the very thing they Justify him in do
ing. Oh, Whigery, thy name is deception

OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY.

The day recommended by the President of the
United States, to be kept as day of Fasting,
Humiliation and Prayer, was duly observed in
this place. All business was suspended, quiet
stiffness rested on our town, and Friday last had
much the appearance Of the Sabbath day. AT
the usual hour, our people, with one consent,
wended their way to the different houses ofwor-
ship, there to beseech a Throne of Grace for the
forgiveness of their sins, and to implore the Ru-
Ter of the Universe to stay the "pestilence that
walketh in darkness, and whose fearful rava-
ges have filled our land with mourning. The
day was solemn one, and its marked observ-
ance speaks well for the character of our people
and of their regard for our holy Religion, God
grant that may ever be SO, and that the last OF
their descendants may say "Here our fathers
worshipped, and here, too, we offered the sacri-
fee of grateful hearts to the ''God of our Fa-
therso

Important Statements.

Gov A. G. Brown, who is the democratic can
didate for reelection in fourth Congressional dis
trict of Mississippi, said in his speech before the
Convention at Monticello, accepting the nominal
ton that tFthe people will see at the next session
both Houses of Congress pass the Wllmot Provl-
so, and will see that document signed by South
ern President. Such was the opinion OF leading
wings in Mississippi with whom ne had convers-
ed, such he knew to be the universal opinion at
Washington, and such was the opinion OF every
intelligent man who was we'll informed on the
subject"
Gov Brown further stated that he Chad had a
personal conversation with Gen. Cass since the
election, and that Gen. Cass then said unequlvo-
cally that he never would have subscribed to the
doctrines of the Wilmet Proviso, and that he
could not perceive how any man could believe
that he would after having read the Nicholson
letter"
Gov. Brown also said that Michigan would
most probably instruct her Senators to vote Tor
the Wilmot Proviso, and that before Cen Cass
would carry out his instructions ne would resign
his seat in the Senate.
These are most important statements, made by
one of the most reliable and intelligent gentlemen
ia Mississippi--Mobile Ala.) Register.
To- Every attentive observer OF passing events
cannot fail to have perceived the extraordinary
effort on the part of the Wing press to hold up to
public gaze the course Of Mr.. BENTON on the
Proviso question; yet these papers have nothing
to say against asouthsrn (Whig) President, who
from all the evidence that can be obtained stands
readyto sanction the Proviso-they have moth
ing to say against Mr.. CLAY who has endorsed
its provisions, but level all their artillery at the
Democratic party, as they alone sought the a
doption of this measure. This labor, on the one
part, aud studied silence, on the other is inend-
ed to draw off the public mind from the fact,
that the Wings are as much the friends of the
Proviso as the Northern Democrats, notwith-
standing they profess so much hostility to its a.
doption. Let them look at their President, his
Cabinet, Mr.. Clay, Truman Smith, Seward, Cor
win, Fitz Warren, and the entire Wing party,
North, and then plead "not guilty." if they can.

the people to take their affairs into their own
hands.
| Perhaps we cannot better illustrate the soul
and essence of Whiggery in this country, as OPP
posed to popular rights, than in the following
sentiment of Wing paper. 1t was uttered by
The News, wing paper published at Newport,
H. L., while commenting upon the struggle OF the
French people for freedom.
ssThe manner in which Louis Philippe was
dethroned, was the worst kind of radicaisrl--
rank Dorrisnl-and so long as the leading men
of France openly acknowledge the right OF the
people to revoutionize the government for slight
and transient causes, {D just so long will reason
able and sensible men have just reason to fear
for the salvation of the nation"
| This is not the sentiment of single paper
only, but OF a class-a party in this country
This is Whiggery. The right of a people to
revolutionize their government, is with whiggery
qualified right. It is not for the people in their
sovereign and exclusive will to Judge and deter
mine when, and how they shall change their
rulers and their form of government. But me
party Of specia, privilege is to be consulted. The
Conservatives may decide that the people complain
unreasonabl1 and for light and transient causes,
and therefore should not be allowed to change
The desire to change would be the morst sort Of
radicalism and therefore should. be pnt down, il
necessary, with the bayonet So reasons the
butcher King of Naples. So reasons the perfd-
