D CESrnEvlilE CouRsE, L. 1.-THE past week has been
busy at this popular track and II seems that the
desire to witness good racing increases from season to
season. There three contests during the week,
one OF which-the pacing between Lady BeviHs,
Cayuga Maid and Dan Miller-we give below.
Fra Hegt-Lady Bevins the favorite but the betting
very dull Dan Miller the pole Lady Bevins the
second place Cayuga Maid the outside position The
Beyins second, Dan well up. The Maid and Dan both
broke in going round the upper turn and Lady Beyns
she challenged. Cayuga Maid broke a second time
in going down the back stretch, falling of sixty or
seventy yards Round the lower turn, and up the
home stretch until the distance stand the con-
test between the roam mare and Miller was very ex
citing but the mare, being carried of her feet relin
quished the contest. and Dan the heat by about
dstanced Time. :31z.
Second Heat-The horses had n fine start but going
round the upper turn, Dan broke, and the two
left him. The struggle between them, the first halt
mile was very ferce-neck and neck-not an inch to
Dan. Lady Bevins the heat by fifty yards: but
cayuga afterwards made brush, and beat Dan Miller
TO the score. Time, 2 :2S<.
Third Heaf-Dan Miller appeared very much dis
tressed on coming up for this heat while the Maid
and the Lady were as lively as criekets Soon after
round the upper turn in the previous heat head
head They continued in that way down the back
stretch until they reached the half, when Cayugs
broke and fell of few lengths The half mile pole
being down, IL was impossible to time the nags accu-
ratey but the distance performed in l. IL less
Beyins left Csyuga Maid, and led home two
three lengths the latter not giving up the race, how
. untn the roam across the Dan Miller
distanced Time, 2: 30.
Fourth Reat-The two again came to the score
with their heads together and dashed of with the word
at tremendous rate. Lady Bevins had slight advan
tage round the upper turn having rather more foot
than the bay mare but the back stretch she broke
badly and fell OF at least sixty yards. As she
recovered her pace, she made most desperate brush
and overlook Cayuga as she the home stretch
passed her and led home, winner by two lengths

VInoIN1A.-Col. Richard NJ. johnson,
the democratic soldier and late Vice
President, writes to the Washington
Union, as follows;
WHITE SuLrHuR, (Ky) May 24
DEAR SIR: The sentiment among
oil classes of citizens here, irrespective
of party, is generally, If no, unanimous
ly, in favor of the compromise of the
slavery question. as proposed by the
Committee Of Thirteen of the Senate.
The people will not agree that any
shall oppose it upon technicality, or
upon small points Of difference, with
ont unqualified and deep censure. We
shall always have in our bosom political
parties who differ aa TO policy and
measures. But as to the federal Union
and its preservation, we exert unanim.
iIy among the patriots Of the country
in the North, South, Eas, and West,
whether wings or Democrats.
The Hon. Andrew Stevenson, of
Virginia, the most distinguished demo-
crat of that State, writes in favor Of
the compromise. The Washington
Union speaks thereof as follows:
Just as our paper was going 10 press,
there was placed in our hands for pub.
lication M admirable letter from thai
veteran democratic statesman, Andrew
Stevenson, Of Virginia, addressed TO
General Foole, in warm support of the
leading features Of the plan Of ad-
jusiment now pending in The Senate of
the United States. Mr.. Stevenson
having been warm and efficient ad.
vocaie of the Nashville Convention,
and a fearless defender Of Southern
rights at all times, his support of the
compromise may be viewed az quite O
decisive indication from Virginia on
this subject.

PATRIOTIC TALK.

meeting on the Sd, inst, and passed the
following resolutions:-
ls,. That we regard the Constitution
Of the United States as the masterpiece
Of human wisdom that we love, cher.
ish and venerate it-and regard every
:hing as comparatively worthless that
Stands in the way of the preser> alton
of that glorious Union, one and indivi-
siJle, which has protected our liberties
and independence, developed our pros
perity and greatness; ano bus for the
sinister clouds raised by civil discord:
we should at this moment, more than
ever be, the wonder, admiration, and
study Of the world''-and though as
sailed by crazied fanatics, and insane
demagogues, we entertain the hope tha,
it will stand unscathed, and having firm
base in the affections of a grateful peo.
pie, there will ever be patriotic hearts
and hands TO love and TO defend it.
2. That we have viewed with feel
ings of modification the melancholy
spectacle exhibited during the present
session of Congress, as well as by the
acts of the public authorities and
portion of the people of several of the
States, evidently tending towards
dissolution of the Union, and we most
heartily enter our protest, against the
agitation of any measure, either by
Congress or the people, whether under
the garb Of Free Soilism or NuliJfca-
ton, in which there is involved no prin.
ciple of practical utility, that may have
a tendency to ALLEVIATE the affections
and destroy the harmony which should
.prcvode all portions of the country.
Sd. That we are utterly opposed to
the Wilmot ProUiso, and to any inter,
ference by Congress in relation to the
subject ofslavery in the territories, be.
lieving that the inhabitants of said ter
ritories, when they shall meet TO form
Stale Constitutions, should have the
sole and exclusive power TO regulate
and adjust all questions of internal
State policy, of whatever nature they
may be, controlled only by the restric-
tions imposed by the Constitution of
the United States. -...
4,h. That threatening or agi,aiing
the subject of a dissolution ofthe Union,
is not the proper remedy for a real or
imaginary wrong committed by the
Legislative depar tnent of the govern
ment; believing that the Constitution
has wisely provided all necessary rem.
edies for the redress of any wrongs that
may be committed by the National
Legislature; and we can hold no fellow
ship with any man or Sc, of men who
openly and wilfully avow sentiments
of a disunion character, or whose acts
evidently tend to destroy our happy
form of government.
5lh That as wings we recognize
no geographical lines in our Republic,
we know no such political divisions as
North or South. East or West we know
nothing but the Union--,he Union as
it is-now and forever-and for its
preservation, peace and happiness,
shall our efforts be exer,ed, at all times,
under oil circumstances. and against
all combinationisls.

ny, and common brotherhood, re-
qure Of our brethren of the free States
faithful discharge of the obligations
tina, may be imposed by such law.

own particular laws
9th. That the Constitution formed

10th. That we are now, as hereto
fore, in favor of, and will adhere 10,

ded by the progressive spirit of the
age-and lha: judicious and pracli-
cable system OF internal Improvements
should be begun, by which the State
may be led on to prosperity, strength
and opulence.
10Th. That in the present political
struggle raging in Missouri between
the two factions of The Democratic
party, il is the duty of the wings and
their own safety require of them, to
occupy neutral ground, and adhere 10
their own long cherished principles
the conservative character of which
strike at the ultraisms of the North
and the South, and give permanency
to the Union.
18th. That we have undiminished
confidence in the rectitude, patriotism,
and strict integrity of Gen. TAYLOR,
our present chief Magistrate, and that
the firm prudent and consistent course,
thus far pursued by him in govornmen-
tai affairs, meets with our most cordial
appreciation.
l4lh. That we have viewed with
pleasure The noble and patriotic stand
assumed by Henry Clay and Daniel
