tory even though it may lie South of tha line. Thus by Col. Johnson's doctrine, we are placing ourselves in a position by which we cannot be benefited, but may be ire. trievably ruined. On the other hand, by this doctrine of non-intervention, the doc Urine of MT Polk and Mir. Calhoun, and now advocated by Capt. Preston, the inter- est and independence of the South is for ever preserved. Shall we take Col. John son, then, with his Disunion and Secession notions-his casting away of the rights ot the South, by his doctrine of line; or shall we take Capt. Preston with his devotion to the Union, and his sturdy support of the true rights of the South?

The Southern Press approves R. ". Johnson.

We find that the Arkansas Banner has learned nothing from its late fatal error in quoting the joy felt by the fre-eaters o Mississippi over the nomination of Robert W. Johnson. In that paper of July Ist we find an extract from the Southern Pres. published at Washington city, a paper mo- toriously established to effect a Southern Confectionery, which likewise glories oyer the nomination of Col Johnson. There is but one thing wanting to fill the measure of this mans iniquities, and that is the endorse ment of the Charleston Mercury. "Tell me the company man keeps, and will read you his character" is an old adage. and a just one. As we'll as ''by their fruits ye shall judge them" Put this and that to- gether,- put the endorsement of such yes SeIS of treason as these, side by side with the labored arguments of Col. J. to show the advantages that will accrue to the South from dissolution of the Union together, and say, where does he stand? He stands side by side with the blood thirsty quaker of the Southern Press-the fire-eater of the MississipPian-the deeply dyed traitor, Rhett, of South Carolina, and the scarcely less censurable Judge Wilkinson, of AIissis- sippi, WHO sdIu ''tnaT lie utsIfeu 10 rSr6 tue Fugitive Slave Law repealed, as he felt no interest in protecting slavery in Virginia, Kentucky, or Mary land; let the Yankees take their negroes, and welcome, for what : he cared; Mississippi lost but few slaves, and had no interest in the law"
 These men care not for Constitutional guarantees, nor the preservation and en- forcement of the laws; their hourly and ever breathing prayer is for Dissolution of the Union and the formation of Southern Con- federacy. This is a question:, however, which the people will take into their own heads. To them is given the power. WiU theY n0t exercise W

Sentiments 0f a True American.

Mir. STUART, the Secretary of the Interior, attended the President on his late visit to the State of Virginia. At one of the public dinners given to the President and his suite, Mir. Stuart was toasted, and in reply uttered the following patriotic sentiments, to which every true friend of the Union will heartily respond, amen!
 "Mr. Stuart thought the question of dis union was a subject which should not be discussed but with a view only to prevent the calamity of dissolution. He believed the danger had not been magnifed-that it had not indeed, been understood: nor was it yet altogether past. The leaders of the secession party were for diSunion per SC, because they would rather be first in a Southern contedelacy, than second in these United States, as they are. The danger of dissolution was not in the nature of South ern institutions altogether. It was in the ambitious leaders of Southern uItras.-It was their settled purpose to dissolve this Union. They had endeavored to effect it on various subjects, at different times. It was with them not disunion as an alterna- tive, but dsunion for its own sake, and the prospects of subserving their ambitious pro- jects.-But they had betrayed themselves too son, and he believed the Union was now stronger than it had been for twenty years in the hearts of the people. But although many of the deluded victims of these Cata- lines of Disunon in the South, had now de- serted them, it was very evident the scheme of disunion is not abandoned. Eternal viz iIance is the price of liberty. He should stand by the Union. am said to De c Whig, born c Whig. c Whig in graim, haUe al,0ays been Whig; I haUe hued c Whig, and hope 70 die Whig; but so help me God, shouM uote for good UNION DEMOCRAT, # necessary, im preference tc the lofiest Whig in the land, # tainted aoith DisunioniSm.

The Unjust.

Know, Q man! that justice will not sleep forever. You may for season go on in vour tyrannical course-scaldng the cheeks with tears, and filling the heart with sor- row-vou may add 10 your stores otwealth, by breaking the backs of thepoor-wearing their flesh to the bones, and depriving them of every blessing God designed them to en- iov, but, remember, the time will come fast it proaches-when for all your deeds of wickedness, you will be called to a strict account. 1.-the pestence does not overtake you in this life-beyond, there is no hope for you.
 Who has not seen the proud tyrant abased!--who has not seen him whose eyes stood out with fatness, become as lean as a stake?-who has not seen the man whose god was his gold, condescend to pick the crumbs from the table of those he once crushed beneath his feet? Beware. ye who trust to yourselves, and have no sympathy with poverty or distress; for the hour com eth, when, for every act of injustice, the God of justice will be avenged

Estimation of the President at the South.
 The Richmond Republican, speaking of PreSldent4iIlmore's visit to Virginia, says:
 "We believe no President of the United States has tisited Virginia for many years who has left more favorable impression upon the minds of our people than President Fillmore. His commanding personal ap- Pearance, tie combined benignity and intel llgence ot lis fine face, and his republican simplicity ffmanner and address, make req dy access fsn aim to the good graces of all with whom he comes in contact.
 "fle l0ohS the President of republican peope-one whom we should be willing to show 10 foreigners, as a specimen of the ma JeSty which cur western woods can pro- duce-a majesty which, unaccompained by Inc stiffness or the pomp of courts, is more impressive, and has more real dignity in the view of thoughtful minds, than hereditary royalty with all It's trappings and insignia of power and dispay.
 'trom the democrats and from whigs of Richmond we have aeard the strongest ex- presSlon ot pleasure and qualification in re- gard to the President. The favorable i'm presslons created by his public course have been increased and strengthened by the op Por'unlty which we have enjoyed of seeing the man. We make these remarks in none o that spirit of aduation which delights to ofterincense at the shrine frank and power.
 We simply state fact, when we say that the visit of the President has made a most favorable impression upon our fellow citizens oi both parties. His course as a high minded and honest patriot has justly elicited the admiration and confidence ofthe whole country. The implicitly, dignity and cordiaity of his manners commend him 10 the warm esteem even of those who differ with him politically. Such man may have political enemies, but even among them none but personal friends"

you after their exeoution--in some by changing

II is matter of deep regret, that a man of
your advanced age. considering the social and

have RETAINED from the commission of acts which
are violation not only Of human, but of divine

forbidden and condemned Instead Of pursuing

labor, IN the State PRISON Of this State, for the
term of five years, to be computed from this day.

Disgraceful and Fatal Riot at Ho-
hnEor

The Germans of New York city, to the num-
Der of ten or fifteen thousand, celebrated their
MAY festival at Hoboken on Monday upon the
cricket ground. In the afternoon the short
boys" gang, and other rowdes, armed, began to
insult the females around the beer stands. They
were driven off by the German gymnastc club,
and took shelter in McCorty's tavern. Here, as
the fight was raging, McCarty fired his gun, and
killed Lucius Urishel of Hoboken, who, with
others, was coming TO his assistance. Justice
Samuel Browning was severely wounded while
trying to preserve order; ship carpenter nam
ed Bridges, was stabbed and killed. and others
wounded. The furniture of the tavern was des-
troyed. and McCarty and his wife injured. The
Germans exhibited such a riotous disposition
themselves that about forty were arrested, tied,
and taken to Bergen Jail by the police. On the
road their friends attempted rescue but desist-
ed upon the constable presenting his revolver
The sheriff Of the county, with assistance OF
military from Jersey city, assisted the women
and children TO return to New York at night by
the ferry boats subduing what threatened to be
a sanguinary riot. The boats took the passen-
gers to another than the usual landing, m order
TO avoid trouble on the city side.
