The President and the Fugitive
Slave RiII.

We are grali6ed TO see that President
Fillmore has openly expressed his deter
mnaton to use all the authority vested in
him in crushing the spirit Of insubOrdlna
ton 10 the laws which seems to be on
the increase in the North. Whenever
that spirit shall exhibit itself in open re-
sistance TO the solemn laws of the land 10
which every American citizen owes inn
plicit respect and obedience, we trust lie
will not betray the confidence which the
country places in him. Let him act
promptly and with the spirit OF determine
ton TO maintain the Constitution and the
Laws at all hazards and at every cost.
Let him on The commission Of the first
orerf act, order the u. States troops into
the rebellous district or city and enforce
obedience at the point Of the bayonet and
tho lannon's mouth. In emergencies
like the present chiId's play will not an
swer, blank cartridges will but produce
blank results but let the mob feel the
force of ball and buck, and the COW
ardly dogs will soon yeIP for the quarter.
That is the orly argument which will
ever carry conviction to their minds, and
teach them the propriety of obedience to
the constitution and the laws Of their
cOnntrV.

Trouble i'm the mormon Camp.

According to correspondent of The
Cleveland Plain Dealer, serious Difficult
~ has occurred among the Latter Dav
Saints congregation on Beaver Island, in
Lake Michigan. Elder Adams, who is
Mormon preacher and tragedian by turns,
had to flee for his life, in consequence Of
having provoked the wrath of James Z.
Strang, one of The Prophets, who, it
seems, sets up his will as the supreme
law. Strang is charged with robbing the
Centiles, as he calls all who do not &C.
knowledge his law, of provisions and
such other goods and chaltes as the Saints
require. Adams promises TO expose the
wicked practices of Strang and his follow
ers.
p. s. Strang has been arrested, taken
10 Mackinac, where he was tried and SEN
teAced to six months imprisonment III

TIE Census OF 1859.

We give below additional returns from
The Western portion of Virginia. 1t will
be seen tina. they exhibit considerable
increase in population. But what Is a
more important consideration, we have
observed a great increase in the wealth OF
every county, whose returns have been
given Rockingham, Berkeley and ma
nv Others show great increase i'll The
value of real estate. Every county in the
West will exhibit this same gratifying
evidence of prosperity.
But this is not The only desirable I'M
movement; we are anxious TO see what
progress We have made in education, and
in the social and moral condition of the
masses. Increased numbers are only de-
sirable, when accompanied by increased
morality and religion. These, together
with the education Of the people, will
alone ensure the perPeuiry ofour ns'ltu'
lions. Without them all would be chaos
and confusion. Therefore it is that we
feel special interest in that branch OF the
census statistics which relates to the CON
duon of our state, morally and mentally.
THE CENsus.--The following is the
census of Berkeley county, Va: Free
Whites, 1864; Free Blacks, 253 ;
Slaves 1856. Total, ll,773. This is
an increase of 79l since 1910.
POPULATION OF PAGE CoUNTY.--The
Deputy Marshal has kindly furnished us
(says the Rockingham Register) the fol-
lowing statement Of the population OF
Page county:
Whites and free negroes, 6,62l
Slaves, you
Total, 5,5Sl
Number of deaths during the year end
ing June lst, 1850, 1874.
POPULATION OF HARDY.--We learn
that the population of this County is nine
thousand fue hundred and Jorfy-sir-
being an increase since 1910 OF 1924
254 per cent, which is pretty we'll for a
cattle County in Virginia. The oldest
inhabitant is Elizabeth Goldizer, aged
100.

ula,ion If Augusta County, Va, is "a

THE REGISTER.
ShepherdStOwn, Jefferson County, Va.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1850.
"Returning Reason"


Under the above caption, the esprit
of Jefferson" copies into its columns an
extract from an article in late number of
the Register devoted to the consideration
of Josiah Qnincy's Letter on the Fugitive
Slave Bill. In that article we considered
the operation of that Bill as the test ques
ton, and that upon its efficiency depend
ed the question of Union or Secession.
The language used by the Spirit implies
that we had been wandering from the
path Of reason, and had just returned TO
it. We must be allowed to plead not
guilty to the charge. We have ever been
the advocates Of the integrity of the u
MON; we have ever given our feeble sup
port TO the measures of adjustment passed
by the recent Congress, believing them to
contain the elements necessary TO allay
the excitement and discussions which un-
happily distured the nation in its entire
length and breadth. We do not regard
the sentiments contained in that article as
inconsistent with any previous article in
our columns. We only desired to await
the action of the North in regard to the
Fugitive Bill. We wish them, if the
deed must be done, TO strike the first
blow at the integrity of the Union we
wish them to assume the awful response
biity, not the South. May God grant
that returning reason" may arrest the
blow.
We las heretofore, still for the Union
in its entirety, and wish 10 see every
means exhausted its maintenance. But
if Congress shall repeal that Bill of the
Compromise which embodied the only
concession to the South, or if not repeal
ing, the North will not allow the execution
Of its provisions, the measures of Compro-
mise will have become to the South
''Like dead-sea fruits, which tempt the eye,
But turT, 10 ashes on the lips"
The blow will then have been given, the
Union will have been dissolved de factO
and the Constitution will have become
but mere rope Of sand. Under such
circumstances the South could no longer
remain in the Union save with dishonor,
the scorn Of the world their self-respect
gone. There is not man with the blood
Of Virginian coursing through his
veins, but would rather die than occupy
such position. We trust the alterna-
tive may never be presented. We dis
like to anticipate the evil day; we would
keep it off if possible forever, but il
forced upon as we must meet it, and meet
it like men.
Such are our views, and we believe, the
visws of every man in this community.

Texas Boundary Bill.

Our readers will recollect that this Bill,
one of the Compromise measures, was
submitted TO the people of Texas for their
approval or rejection.
The vote has been taken, and exhibits
an Overwhelming majority in favor of the
adoption of the Bill. Not county has
voted against it, so far as heard from.
We trust that this matter has thus been
put to rest. Those who are interested
have expressed their satisfaction, and the
murmurs md complaints Of the dlslnieres-
ted should cease.

This body, as is known 10 our readers,
has adjourned TO the lst Monday in jan
uary, 1851. This course was very prop
erly regarded by the Western members as
necessary, in order to mete out 10 the sec
ton of the State which they represent
that degree of political power which its
greatly increased population and wealth
enlilIe it to. We are gratified to discover
that the champions of Western interests
have evinced much vigilance and devotion
TO the cause committed 10 their hands s.
They have thus far been rewarded with
success, having been strengthened by the
Incorporation Of a number of Eastern gen.
tIemen, who would not allow themselves
to be made the instruments of doing vio-
lence to the just rights of the West. We
regard the vote on the adjournment as a
very favourable sign for the West, and
now have hopes that the great principle
commended for by the popular voice of the
State-polhical equality--will be estab-
lished by the Convention. Indeed, mem
bers of the Convention who have just re-
turned from Richmond, express their be-
lief that on this question the West will
succeed, that there are Eastern members
who have discovered the fagran! injustice
of the opposite principle, and will lend
their aid and influence to the establishment
of the great principle of equal pO,0er TO
equal numbers. In any event the adjourn
ment will secure to the West, even if the
Mixed Basis be adopted, almost an equal
representation with the East.
Whatever policy the Convention, in its
wisdom may adopt, we fervently hope
that its actions may result in benefit to the
good old State, and bring her back TO the
high position which she occupied in the
PALMER days Of her history.
