We are glad to know that arrangements
have been made by the Young Mems So
cie'y, for celebration of Washing,on's
birth day. The 2and occurring Sunday,
the day after has been chosen for the cele-
bratiou. We are not able to furnish the
plan of proceedings, bet presume the COM
mttee will publish a programme.
When new and dangerous principles
are sought TO be engrafted upon our public
policy, and doctrines are openly advocated
at war with the solemn iniunctions Of
Washington, the occasion demands that
we should study afresh the truths. he
taught US, and strengthen our venera,ion
for his memory by listening again 10 the
grea, story of his life. We hope to see
Our citizens unite freely in the celebration.

~ Late Richmond papers announc


70 Late Richmond papers announce
the arrival in thatcity of james Buchanan
and George NJ. Dallas, of Pennsylvania
and they are careful to state that the for
mer has come TO visit his friend Judge
Mason, and the latter his son in-law, DR..
Tucker Each Of these gentlemen is I'M
derstood to aspire to the candidature of the
Democratic party for the Presidency
and each is uncertain Of securing the nom
nationwide of his own State. OF Course
it would be indecorous 10 suspect two such
eminent patriots Of acting from selfish
motives, and we must consider it, only a
fortunate coincidence, that Mr. Buchanan,
is stricken with desire to see his friend,
Judge Mason, just as the Virginia demo-
cratic Convention is preparing 10 assem-
bic, and equally lucky for Mr.. Dallas
that he had a son-in-law in Richmond,
whom he could visit, precisely at the
time his rival was there. These dignihed
and disinteres,ed proceedings will doubt
less attract the admiration of Cass and
Douglas.

editors. It embodies sensible views. is
conceived in good taste and expressed in
chaste and forcible style. They deem
it holly unnecessary to lay before their
readers formal and detailed confession

be their province to discuss fully, and
without reserve. all topics of public inter-

Suffice it for the presen; to say, that 1t will
be our endeavor TO uphold and defend
the cherished principles Of the Wing par
ty, with unfagging zeal. zeal inspired
by an earnest and profound conviction,
that they are the principles of truth, OF
Justice, and of constitutional liberty"
We most heartily concur in the sound
conservative and patriotic views Of the
new editors concerning the sectional ques-
tions. that have SO profoundly excited the
minds Of our people within the last few
years Upon this subject they say: 'the
Times, under our charge, shall be, as 1t
has ever been, true alike TO Southern instr
tniions and TO our Federal onion. We
do not believe the time has come when We
must make our election between the two;
when to be Union men, we must be tral
tors to tie South; when to be loyal 10 the
South we must be false 10 the Union We
here plant ourselves upon the firm, con
si,utional, and legal ground so fearless

present patriotic Wing Administration, to-
Wit: the slavery Compromise OF the last
Congress. We do not acqaiesce in that
Compromise; on the contrary, we heartily
embrace it as fair and equitable adjust.
ment Of the questions in issue between the
North and South, and as a compact
scarcely less sacred in lis character than
the Federal Constitution itself. Upon the
preservation Ct this Compromise, we verify
believe, the dcslines Of this nation are stalk
ed, and it shall be our aim to defend 1t on
all proper occasions against the open as
saurs Of its avowed enemies, and the lnsl-
dious attacks Of pretended friends. We
hold, flat not one Of It's features, taken
even as AN isolated measure, furnishes the
South with any just cause to dissolve the
Union, and that lie who, upon such pre-
text. counsels the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of this
great conftderacy is traitor to the cause
Of human liberty and human happiness
We Weld to no man in devotion to South
ern institutions, but not until the last hope
of maintaining them IN the Union shall
have died away, will we be prepared TO
sundcr TIE bonds which unite these g
States as one people-to embark upon the
shorcless sea Of anarchy and revolution
exringuish forever our nationality and
bring down shame and disaster upon the
last great experiment Of republican gov
eminent"
The new editors declare that they will
zealously maintain the cause Of internal
Improvements.

The estimates we have had of the
States indebtedness. for several years.
have been made by Democratic officials.
The last we remember to have seen was
that of Governor Johnson who estimates
it in his message ut S1l.000,000. Does
the editor Of the Republican charge the
aon-pariel " little 10" with practising "a
deception upon the people" in his first
public act? Does he chdrge Governor
Floyd-who Exercised" himself greatly
in statistics and fnances-with making
incorrect statements and deceiving the peo-
pie : We hope while he is in Richmond,
lie will look into this official malversation
and expose the delinquents more fully
Democratic Governors ought not 10 be
allowed to falsify the Treasury accounts,
and if the editor of the Republican will
ascertain the particulars and make them
public, he will deserve the thanks Of honest
men.
