ofwhich the Union party is made up--discontented
democrats in pursuit OF Office and reckless whg parti-
sans all under the lead of of the most corrupt po-
ticians that the country nourishes all indicates
that it viii stop at any trickery however corrupt
any game however bold and desperate that sue
cess is likely TO their efforts. We shall expect
to see in 1852 Northern freesol Abolition Presi-
dent elected by the consent, aid, and encouragement
of Southern votes.
Holding the doctrine that the North viii present
no candidate upon which Southern men can safely
concentrate we have hoisted the names of two true
and pure men, and shall stand by them and the po-
sition here assumed, until public sentiment manfests
itself in form that shall meet our views. We are
opposed going into National convention and commit
ting the South to any Northern Southern man. II
safe and reliable man is presented, it will be time
enough to decide and efficiently after the nomna-
ton shall have been announced.
The ereader Wilt find below two letters that have got
into the papers, indicating very clearly what intrigue
ing and shuflling is adoat already.

We make the following extract from letter ad-
dressed to his former constituents by the Hon.
James A. Seldom, the able Representative of the
Richmond District, Va. in which, on account of
i'll health, he declines being candidate forre-elee-
ton:
ssThe seeds Of incalcuable future evils were
sown in the mis- called compromise measures OF
the last Congress. and must even more surely
than in the case of the ordinance of 81, and the
Missouri Compromise, now almost universally al
the South conceded to have been the fruitful
source of our present dangers, ripen to PERM
cious harvest of mischief The partial reaction,
which has taken place at the North, in resistance
to Abolition Fanaticsm. though claimed for this
compromise, is really due only to the strong mani
festations of discomfort at the South, and deter
mination there to endure no further aggression
and conclusively indicates how much more full by
concert of action and union of sentiment on ths
part of our people and their representatives at al
earlier period, our wrongs might have been aver
ted and our rights vindicated. To render this re
action effective for any future good it is indispen
sable that its causes should be actively continues
and increased. Ceaseless vigilance in discover
ing and promptitude and unanimity in asser.as, IN
our rights and our constitutional gu31antees. "a

SOathern Men. Look to the Future.

In obedience to promise, proceed to present our
for placing the names of southern men at the
mast head of the Standard candidates for the first
and second offices within the gift of the people We
have endeavored to show readers that there
questions of great practical Importance before them,
and that the decision Of the September election would
in all human probability settle definitely temporar
ly these, and alse the future relations between the
North and the South. Had the States Rights party
succeeded, the differences between the sections woula
have been adjusted terms honorable to the South
Among other matters the Presidential issue would
have been satisfactorily arranged and the Southern
man could have shaken hands with the Northern man
union promising not only equality to both, but
permanency all sections of broad land But the
September election has settled point and that is
what Northern neghbors labored for. They now
know how great load Of wrong the South travel
with they know that they have organized
party in the South to apologize for Northern aggress
ions, and safe in assuming that the North will
present candidates little tinctured with Southern
ultraism that the rabid abolitionsts will
hesitate to embrace and support them. We say that
the September election has settled this point. We
may assume that the old wing party North will put
forward real reesoiler, and that the Union party Of
Mississippi 0iH support him Here are our reasons:
Both parties North, Whg and Democrat under
the control of freesol nHuence-the former to de-
gree greater than the latter bat both sufficiently to
deter them from yielding anything reasonable to the
South. No one viii deny this. Welw!lat the pros
poets ahead for Northern candidate that Southern
men can support. Let US how it stands With the
Wings. Here is a table for any Northern freesoI
whig and the only requisite to put success beyond dis
pute, is to make platform broad as the Union.

Convention, but you may as well issue the call at
once for the first Monday in June. From the tone
Of our correspondence. we have ample assurances
that the convention will be with us, and be com-
posed mostly of Houston men, who will overawe
all opposition, and secure our object In regard
to platforms all new tests, especially land
reform. Partly re-afirm the Baltimore platform
without offending our free soil allies-who have
pledged themselves in good faith to us-as then
vote will be most formidable you may depend up
on it; and we can afford to make few sacnflce'

NORBOIiNEs HALL ACADEMY.

1t is not generally known through the
county, that there is female school in this
place, under the above name. In calling at
ton to it, it affords us pleasure to state, that
we believe this institution eminently worthy
ofpa.ronage. Those of the county who have
heretofore sent their daughters abroad TO be
educated, need not now be subjected to the
expense and Inconvenience of sending them
to distant schools-One has tecn established
in our midst which will compare well, in point
of instruction, discipline, &c, with the best
in the county,
1t is useless to mention the many
advantages to be derived by this COM
munity from having such school located in
it They are obvious
Norborne Hall offers many inducements to
the public, as place of education. 1t is
handsomely situated near Martinsbure, i'm :.
mcdiately on the b. 80. r. Road, in ono
of the most beautiful and healthful counties
IN the Valley of Virginia. With number Of
experienced and accomplished teachers it
combines the advantages ola thorough course
Of instruction, proper moral and mental dis
cipline, with beautiful scenery and healthful
locality, all which, recommend it to the pub
lie at large, as wel as to the citizens Of the
county.

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

To-day the President of the United
States, accompanied by the Secretary of the
Interior, and Secretary Of War, viii set out
from Washington, on visit to the White
Sulpher Springs The National Tntelli-
gencer says:
On his way the President, with the Sec
retaries, will make personal inspection of
the Public Works and property at Harper s
Ferry, which he has long been DESTROYS of
doing They will then proceed up the Val
ley, by the Potomac and Winchester Rail-
road, to Charlestown, turning off at that
place to the neighboring Shannondale Springs,
there to meet, in friendly and familiar way,
the citizens of Jefferson, Clarke and Lou
doun, in compliance with an invitation the
latter made some time since. Leaving Shan
nondale, the President and his friends will
go on to Winchester, and, taking perhaps Ca
pom by the way, thence TO the White Sulphur
Springs of Greenbrier
