o. Why were they so anxious to bring
out opposition to that excellent gentleman,
JAMES Mcdowell, the member of Con-
gress from this district. and the devoted
friend of Union?-Vndicalor.
So far as we have observed the Wings
have been the hearty supporters of JAMES
Mcdowell. Some members of his own
party would in our opinion bring out oppo-
siton in moment but for this fact. We
have repeatedly asked the Vindicator, that
newborn zealot in the Union cause, eff
JAMES Mcdowell was true enough South
ern for him." and have lever yet been able
to extort an answer.

We hope the Vindicator will bear in mind
the fact that we mean the same in regard to

this week which we commend to the con-
sideration of all whom it may concern.

o. The President and Mr. Stuart reached the
White Sulphur Springs on Thursday last, about
o'clock, P. NJ, and were appropriately received by
the largest crowd ever assembled there Mr.. Bev-
erly Johnston welcomed the President in very
handsome address, and the President replied in his
usual fellcitous manner, amidst the cheers of the
crowd Mr.. Stuart being then called upon by the
crowd, responded in happy manner. 1t was IN
dersood that after few days sojourn the President
would visit w. H. Mcfarland, Esq, at his plan

rIR. FILLMORE.

The length of other original matter, pub
lished in our last, forbade extended COM
ment upon the visit and reception of the
President. At this late hour, further re-
mark upon either would be somewhat out of
date, unless we may appropriately repeat
that the entire ceremonies ofthe occasion
were highly creditable to our people and
peculiarly gratifying as well to the Presi-
dent and the Secretary ofthe Interior, as to
their personal and political friends. OfMr.
FILLMORE, however, and the impressions
left behind him we have something more to
say.
In the matter of popularity the President
gained but little BY the visit, his impartial
and patriotic administration having secured
the good opinion of every body before he
came, and made him the peculiar favorite
of the people. The demonstrations of pop
ular enthusiasm on the 9th inst, were not
merely the empty honors paid, as matter
Of course, to the dignity of office; but the
spontaneous outburst Of that high admira-
ton felt by the sovereigns for faithful
public servant and a man of real WORTH
To say that the unwonted esteem in which
Mr.. FILLMORE was previously held has been
happily confirmed, is to express but feebly
the deep-rooted attachment and still grow
ing affections Of the people. The noble and
patriotic language that fell from his lips in
reply to the eioquen! welcome extended by
Judge THOMPSON, found its way to every
heart in the congregated multitude, an ex-
torted even from bitter political adversaries
the warmest need of praise. Who that saw
and heard, can ever forget the unmistakable
air of fixed determination and stern resolve
with which he pointed to the flag of the
Union floating in his view, and svowed hrs
unalterable purpose to maintain the integri-
ty of the Union at any and every cost tc
himself Who could doubt the sincerity and
enlarged patriotism of the man, as he plac-
ed his hand upon his heart and declared 81
am sufficiently gratifed to travel through
your country to mingle with your people and
feel that they are my cOuntrymen.
If thereis any truth in physiognomy, Mr..
FILLMORE is not only great but good man
Benignity beams from every feature In his
countenance, while that frmness and decis.
ion of character manifested In his public ca.
reer is eloquently spoken by the calm & stea.
dy eye that never shrinks from the scrutiny
of others, and the perfect ease and composure
of his whole manner. Altogether The per-
sonal appearance OF the President is digni.
fed and commanding. The question was
frequently propounded to us, SIS he not the
finest looking man you ever saw :"
After all, however, the conspicuous attri-
butte in the character of WILLARD FILL
MORE is that essential element of all true
greatness-honesty. His aims have ever
been to promote the best interests of the
whole country, sat any and every cost to
HIMSELF" A firm adherence to this enlarg-
ed policy has disarmed opposition, and won
for him almost universal respect and good
will

&C. How many Northern wings voted for
the Fugitive Slave Law, failure to pass
which would have rent this Union in twain?
The record says THREE y Tell it not in
Gath" Where was their love for the u
Mon then? Echo answers ,chere 9'-Vin-
dictator.
And yet the Editor of the Tindicator
would have voted against the Compromise
measures had he been a member of Con-
gress. With what consistency, pray, can
he belabor Northern Wings for voting a.
gainst measure whose failure would have
rent the Union in twain, when he himself
would have voted against series of meas
ures; whose defeat would have led inevita-
bly, to the same result9 If the Editor of
the indicator had been in the Congress of
the United States, where would have been
his love for the Union then?

P.S. bethink me THAI ought 10 tell you how
it fell out that McManus found himself at liberty
to make his escape. OF course when the Governor
took him into custody, and revoked his "iicket Of
leave" his parole was al an end, and it would re-
quire ANEW ticket of leave and new promise 10 re-
vive it, In O'Doher,y's case, after his month IS
hard labor, his ticket Of leave was restored, and a
new parole required Of him. Not so McManus; he
was not set at liberty again by the Governor, but
in spite of the Governor, by The intervention Of the
Supreme. Court. And far from giving him back
his comparative liberty" or taking a new parole
The Governor sent him orders al once to report him
self a, 'hireling depot" But it was too Late
McNanus had clear day or two and good friends;
ship was ready 10 sail and so he went of.

There is no truth whatever in the asser-
ton. 1t is the party for the votes OF the
people but that they feel deeper interest
in the prosperity of the people than others
is all fustian--mere demagogue slang. We
once asked the conductor of Loco-foco
/ Journal in another State the secret Of his
party's success. 'Sir," he replied, "We
are always writing about the high capaci-
ties of the people and protesting peculiar at
tachment to their rights" The Vindicator
evidently has the points.

MARRIAGE OF MAJ. TocHMAN-The marriage
of Majnr Tuchman Of Washington City, and the
Hungaria heroine, Apoonia Jagielo, was ceebra-
ted in the Cathedral at Ilarper's Ferry on Sauf
day morning last at9 o'clock. The Spirit of JEFF
ferson says:
"a large party of ladies and gentlemen from
Shannondale Springs, where Miss Jagello has been
ruralsing for some weeks, and whose affection and
esteem she has won, by lhe uniform sweetness of
her disposition and her urbaniles Of manner, passed
through at an early hour to witness the interesting
sight. An immense crowd of the citizens of Ilar-
per's Ferry ihronged the Church an hour and more
before the appointed time, and by their attention
and becoming demeanour manifested their interest
in the prosperity and happiness of the young and
beautiful exile. After the ceremony, which was
performed in that grand and Imposing manner which
peculiarly belongs 10 that branch of The church, the
company psrtnok Of handsome repast prepared al,

turned their heads for Shananndale. When the
merry party arrived in Charleslown, they were a.

collation. prepared by Mr.. In. Carter, and tender

ability TO maintain their position al home. But as
regards the great mass Of our CONFERENCE.-THE

crossed with the one idea, and that is, the speedi

themselves and families from that inevitable ruin
that appears to be impending over this hapess land.
Nothing can stop or stay this migrating propensity,
no reasoning or persuasion, however cogent or
plausible, can for moment change their deerm-

is scarcely family among the humble class of far

lily to emgrate. The people are flying away in
large numbers, and on the roads in remote districts

WINGS OF BATH. PENDLE-
TON, HIGHLAND AND POCAHONTAS

II will be seen that Convention of the
Wing Party of Virginia will be held at
Staunton on Wednesday the first Of Octo-
Der, for the purpose Of selecting suitable
candidates to>bear our standards in the first
elections under the new Constitution. We
wish to elect Wing Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Attorney General, and this
we can do if we make the effort in earnest.
1t is necessary, however, to move promptly
and harmoniously to the work Of organiza-
ton. For this purpose the Staunton Con-
vention has been called, and it is hoped the
suggestion Will meet with general and
hearty response. 1t is important that there
SHOULD be fnll delegation from all the
Counties, and in order to effect this, early
and decided action is necessary. See to it
then that Bath, Highland, Pendleton and
Pocahontss are duly represented. Meet to-
gether at yoar earliest opportunity and ap-
point men who feel sufficient interest in the
cause to come and cooperate with others in
the effort to secure its triumph. Your num-
bers though small may be largely increased
by proper exeftion, and the ball once put in
motion may do considerable execution be-
fore it stops. Each vote will tell in the
general result, and it is expected that every
Wing will do his dutysby assisting in the
proper organization of our forces preparato-
ry to the struggle.

o. Is it not plain TO the commonest beholder ,ha.
| the cry the wings are trying to get up about the
Union is all gammon-the boldss, Hypocrisy ever
practised, and s intended to cover the real designs
OF the wings. Why when the Union was in dan
ger where do we find these Flaming patriots 2''--
Vindicator.
The Vindicator essays an answer to the above
question which we omit, Preferring the following as
precisely to the point from General Cas-. In his
speech in the U. S. Senate, March 10th, 1851, the
General said
"This Administration has placed itself high in
the great work of pacJying the country, and they
have received the need of appreciation from poii-
cal friends and political foes parlake of the same
sentiment. do them justice. But am demo.
crat. and, God willing, mean to die one. This is
whig administration, but tina; is no reason, |
should not DO them justice; and do it with pleas
ure, in this great matter of the salvation of i s
country, if may say So"
All the various filings of the Vindc ator at the
President may be as satisfactorily met by high
Democratic authority. For instance, the President
hesitated to sign the Fugitive Slave bill, says the
Vndicator. Did he indeed? Well see what Mr.
Clemens of Alabama says. Speaking in the SEN
ate Feb. 22nd, 1851, he gave ulierancs to the fol-
lowing sent menis:
"Sir, honor him for his course, and if the APP
probation of political opponent, who has in times
past done him some wrong be at all grateful to him,
let him be assured that not l only, but thousands
Of others of my political friends heartily thank him
for what he has done, and ferventy thank God that
yx,nh au in H., ie 4
the head Of affairs, soho knocs his duty and dares
to perform it,"
So we quote Judge Bper of South Carolina to
the same effect. In,his report 10 the Senate upon
the Presidents Message asking additional powers
to execute.the Fugitive Slave Law, he said
'Jusiice and the occasion require me TO say that
do not believe the power called for, would be a.
bused by the present executive. The precedent for
the direction of ,rse and gust President might be
the rod of power Sor a military despot."

CONVENTION OF MERcHANTs.-A circu-
lar, signed by the merchants of Richmond
and others, giving notice that meeting Of
all persons friendly to direct trade between
James River and Foreign Countries, will
meet in that City on the 10th day Of Sep
TENDER, to take into consideration the steps
necessary toperfect the object. 1t is desir-
ed that every part of the State shall be rep
resented, and the Merchants of North Car
DINA and Tennessee are also invited to at
tend. Some months ago, we took occasion
to express our views in reference to the
duty of the people of Virginia to encourage
in every legitimate way the commerce and
manufactures and institutions of their own
State, and we are prepared to aid this move
ment to the utmost of our power. We
would inculcate no hostility to the institu-
tons and interests of sister States, but the
maxim "Charity begins at home, " though
often abused to selfish and unworthy pur-
poses, is, when properly defined, sound in
principle and worthy of being acted upon
universally. Our love of Country certainly
begins with Virginia, and we desire her
prosperity more than that of any other State.
We sincerely hope that this Convention
will devise the means of infusing life into
our languishing manufactures and of reviv-
ing our commerce which has dwindled down
to nothing. The utmost enthusiasm is said
to prevail among the Merchants in Eastern
Virginia, and one of the largest assemblages
ever convened in the State is expected.
