of the Richmond Enquirer, who lately delivered
speech in Fredericksburg
Mr.. Pryor's speech on Tuesday night was
the best we have heard this campaign-not ex-

forcible, and well delivered For more than
two hours his audience listened with profound
attention.

munity. They bear the impression Of truth,
and unfold a strange tale for Massachusetts,,
where religious liberty and political liberty are
supposed TO be most sacredly guarded by the
plainest constitutional provision.
Thiswhole proceeding is but part and parcel
of the Know-nothing movement rejecting ex-
actly its spirit; and in good time the honest,
well-meaning citizens who have been led into
it will be convinced of their error, and leave a
cause that is sure only to be productive Of SINH
lar results in the future"
This brave and ~chivalrous committee has
already been celebrated in rhyme. More Poet
asters than one have made this valiant exploit
the subject of animated verse. One thus de-
scribes their heroic invasion of the school, in
the Boston Post.

The Siege OF. Robbery.

The Siege OF Robbery.
Onward the Nunnery Committee
No man was dismayed,
Although the volunteers knew
II was terrible blunder:
Theirs not TO make reply,
Theirs not TO reason why,
But 10 know nothing.
Into old Robbery
Rode the seventeen.
No Jesuits to right of them,
No Jesuits 10 left of them,
No Jesuits in front of them,
No nothing, but women.
Boldly they rode and well
With four good horses,
In two omnibuses,
Rode the seventeen.
When will their glory fade?
O., the great search they made,
From cellar 10 dormitory,
In proud blaze Of glory,
All the world wonders!
Twenty.four 10 nineteen
Honor the Nunnery Committee,
Gallant seventeen.
On TO the Norfolk House,
Mine host will provide:
Refreshments are needed;
It's tiresome TO ride.
Charge then, this turkey--that ham,
Charge the bills TO the State,
We're fighting for glory and-Sam.
Then backward they rode,
Each 10 his place of abode,
The noble seventeen!

gxz5- The following is al extract from an able
and spirited letter from the Rev. Henry M.
Denison, formerly Of the Episcopal Church,
Williamsburg, concerning the kidnapping of
his slave girl by the people Of Ohio.
After speaking Of entrusting the care Of his
girl TO friend, who to avoid observation,
stopped at private house in Columbus, Mr..
Denson says:
"But, alas in the merciless and marauding
code of abolitionism, no mans house is his
CASTLE" and black women were seen lowering
about the house like birds of i'll omen, and
presently the sheriff Of the county appeared
with o habeas corpus, and by so Infamous a
prostitution Of that writ of priceless value to a
true American, and in spite of her assevera-
tions that she did not want to be free, but
wished to return to her parents and Little
Bessie" the poor girl was forced away from
her protector, on the Sabbath day, and lodged
in jail. The next morning she was brought
before a court, and with mockery of trial,
before time was allowed for the attempt even to
defend both her and the rights guaranteed by
the Constitution to every citizen of the United
States, she was declared free, and being minor
was put under guardian, lest she should ex.
ercise her liberty in returning to her parents
and this when Almighty God has made me her
guardian, as have ever been her best earthly
friend"

Senator Hunter.

This distinguished defender of the South, ad-
dressed the citizens of Petersburg, Tuesday
evening at the Mechanics Hail. We had
always entertained an exalted opinion of this
gentlemans talents, and of his paramount
abilities as statesman. But we must confess
we had no conception before of his powers as
an orator. For more than two hours an i'm
mense audience were lifted from their seats and
drifted along with the tide of his eloauence,
and when the cessation of the speakers voice
restored them to themselves, every one, wrapt
in thought, seemed to be endeavoring to prolong
the sweet trance from which he had awakened.
For us to attempt to give an outline Of Mr..
Hunters speech would be sacrilegc against
its Inspirations We regret that all could not
hear it. Especially did we regret that every
Southern "Know nothing" was not there, who
had ears to hear, and mind to comprehend
Mr. Hunter possessed US with the very souls of
our revolutionary fathers who wrote the charter
OF our Liberties, and secured, as they thought,
the freedom of conscience to ALL He demon
strated, how the new party while denouncing
the "Papsts' and Jesuits, were using the very
engines and practicing the very devices, that
when attributed to them had made them so
hateful, to accomplish their purposes. And
while they professed to be friendly to the act
ia iSbStouo hccuouis lct III OF
aboltionists, in regard to the clause in the Con.
stitution for the return of fugitive slaves, they
were forming the same sort Of secret combina.
tons and systems to defeat its objects, and
nullify its provisions.
Mr.. Hunter followed to their legitimate re-
suits the principles Of the new Order as far as
they have been developed. He showed how the
mighty influence Of public opinion, which is
the only sure protection of the weak against
the strong, will be completely destroyed. He
ran the parallel between the new order and the
old Spanish Inquisition, and demonstrated how
the same or similar results will follow.
No one who heard Mr.. Munter on this occa-
sion, and Mr.. Mason few nights previous,
whatever might have been his party affiliations,
coule entertain other than feeling of grati6ed
pride, at the thought of having two such rep
resentatives in the Senate Of the United States.

From the Richmond Enquirer Of The 1 lth inst.
Senator James M. Mason.

Senator James M. Mason.
The powerful speech of this distinguished
gentleman, on Monday night, delighted q large
assemblage of his fellow. citizens, collected in
the African Church. Stafford III. Parker, esq.,,
presided, and DR.. James Dove, acted as sec
rotary. Senator Mason spoke for two and a
half hours with marked effect. After lucid
review of parties, he came to the secret organ
ization of Know-nothings, which he held up to
the ridicule and contempt of all honest men.
His whitening denunciations of such secret
oath-bound political association were received
with rounds Of applause, which were redoubled,
when he avowed the noble and patriotic senti-
ment, that proud as he was Of the honor Of rep.
resenting Virginia in the Senate of the United
States, he would scorn to hold such position
by making the smallest concession to the mis-.
| cradle secret party. He next showed that the
present Knownothings in their prescription OF
foreigners, were but carrying out the detestable
doctrines of the Federalists Of Alien and Sedi
ton law memory. They are the lineal descen.
dants Of the Native American incendiaries Of
| Philadelphia and Boston, who burned Catholic
| churches, and who, said Senator NJ, were com
PEELED to cover themselves with secrecy, to avow
| themselves Know-nothings, III order to escape
the halter OF the pententiary Around this
nucleus the Wings and Abolitionists and dis
| appointed Democrats had collected themselves
in order to achieve. by secrecy, their intolerant
and dangerous purposes. Senator M. proved
conclusively that, at the North Know nothings
and Abolitonists were identical, and he warned
the people of Virginia to esehew the monster
He took up and riddled Mr.. Journeys letter
which, he said, while protesting to maintain
the law Of religious freedom, really amounted
! to notification of that great law favored by
jefferson, and he defed the Know.nothings
boldly to make the issue of the repeal of that
law, before the people of Virginia. That would
be more honorable and manly, instead of at
tempting to nuify the law by indirection. The
speech was able, patriotic and manly, and pro-
duced powerful impression.
Atthe close of Senator Mason's speech James
Lyons, esq, was called tor, but he declined
speaking. He, however, rendered beautiful
and eloquent tribute to Senator Mason's speech,
whose noble sentiments had excited in him the
most thrilling pleasure. He pledged himself
to speak, during the canvass, against the detest-
able doctrines of the secret party. The people
Of Richmond will be delighted to hear from
Mr.. Lyons.

a correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
writing from Gloucester court house, says:
"A strange occurrence took place few days
since on the farm of Mrs Mary Jones of MARI
field, which has caused some commoion in the
neighborhood aud highly incensed the commu-
niiv at ihc atrocousness of the act. 1t seems
that a negro girl, slave of Mrs. Jones, named
Mttie, gave birth to child. She attended
by another slave, her mother, named Bette, and
between them, they agreed to do away with the
child. They both strangled it, tore it TO pieces
and then burned it to ashes! !"
