Richie, Mcdowell, and Roane, cannot justify crimi
nal and sedtious sentiments uttered by the Whig
candidate, Mr.. Summers. The following extract from
the Richmond Enquirer, will show who this Mr.
Summers is:

Who endeavored to excite non-slaveholders against
slavery, as imposing outrageous injuries - on them!
Who denounced as barbarous those laws'whose
object it is to protect the whites of the saveholding
communities against the Vaccinations of abolition in
cendiaries
who. when inl the full strength of intellect said
that he would glory in coming down to lead forth
the oppressed from the land of bondage?''
Who said he would lead the negroes even through
the waves of the Red Sea- to freedom
Who with these opinions unretracted, had the eff
frontery to insnuate that who had been true
to the South and her institutions, ought to be
trusted because he happened to be born in another
State! GEORGE w. SUMMERS
This man, Summers, after having uttered such SEN
timens, is the Wing candidate for Governor of Vir-
ginia; and the Raleigh Register defends him. and
would doubt sustain him, if printed in that State!
Mr.. Clay went for emancipation in Kentucky; but
we never heard such atrocious sentiments from him
as those attrib uted above to George w. Summers.
The election of such man would be lasting dis
grace to Virginia.
The Register. by way of breaking the effect of the
heavy charges against the Wing candidate, asserts
that old Joe Johnson, - the Democratic candidate
in the State, voted while in Congress for the
Wimot Provso. The Register knows this charge
to be false.
We repeat the opinion that " old Joe Johnson -
will sweep Virginia by thousands. 1t may pain the
Raleigh Register to its friend Summers defeated
but the thing is obliged to be Old Joe - has
gone through many battle, and though SCARED, he
has never been beaten. Like Napoleon, there is a
charm of nvincibilitY about him which insured his
triumph at the outset. The Wings of Virginia are
already on the defensive, and fighting with traied
banners. Hurrah for old Joe and the unterrified

MR.. BUCHANAN.

We make the following extract from some remarks
delivered by the Hon. James Buchanan at public
meeting in Pennsylvania. a few days since. Speak.
ing of the recent elections in that State Mr. Bucha
nan said:
There were many reasons why all good citizens
should rejoice at the result of the late elections That
the first and principal was that in all human
probability 1t put at rest at and for MANY years
to come all serious agitation upon the subject of sa-
very. That the issue of abiding by the Compromise
measures had been fairly rendered BY the Convention
which nominated Col. Bigler, and as fairly supported
by him in all his addresses to the people before the
election. That the course taken BY the Wing party
and Gov Johnson had put them as fairly on the OPP
Posite side Of thequestion. In short, that COL Big
Ter was for the Compromise as it stood, and Gov.
Johnston was for the modification of the only part of
it that favorable to the South, Or in other words
for renewed agitation the subject of slavery. He
then In some detail explained that all the measures
usually called the Compromise measures. were dec-
ded in favor of the North, except one-the Fugitive
Slave Law, which law was nothing more than the
fuhment OF an express provision of the Constitution
of the United States. That the whole South well
understood the position Of the two parties in Pennsy
vania on this Subject, and looked with the deepest
interest in the result of the struggle. That since
the glorious triumph of the Democratic Party had
become known. he had received more than hundred
letters from citizens of the South. declaring that
since the voice of Pennsylvania had been heard in
favor of their rights, they felt easy and satisfied
that they would be sustained. He portrayed in glow
ing co'ors the uneasness. the anxiety, nay, the
misery to which our Southern fellow-citizens were
exposed, and thanked his Maker that he and those
around him had assisted however humbly, in reliev-
ing them from theicares. He said there coudbe moth
ing wrong in rejoicing result which carried peace
TO thousands Of re-sides which had otherwise been
surrounded by gloom and dependency"
Who achieved this great victory over Abolitonism
in Pennsylvania The Democrats. Who stood in
he way of this victory and endeavored to prevent its
'eing won' The Wings, as party, led oD.by that
Infamous Abolition Wing. Gov. Johnston. These
IRE facts. Let all Southern men reflect upon them.

We have heretofore inadvertently omitted to state
the result of the late elections in Michigan. The
truth is, we have had many Democratic victories
to chronicle. of late, that it is surprising that
some of them should have been overlooked. The
Democrats have swept Michigan by some 10000
majority. That tells the tale in few words. Three
cheers for Gen. Cass and the Democracy of his glo-
rious State!

While linger some CLEANS Of the day
Ho! rally thy hunters with halloo and shout
To chase down the game-and away

Like wolves her pursuers howl loud on her track;

Her anguish breaks forth in one hurried short prayer

But she struggeth not with the strong rushing stream

Faint and more faint grows her drowning voice,
And her cries have ceased forever.

The soul thou woudst barter, returned to her God
She llts in his light, her unmanacled hands;
