Mr. wise aud the Cilley Duel.

We last week briefly stated that Gov.
johnson denied ever having accused Mr..
Wise Of being the cause of the death Of
Mr.. CiIley, in a speech at this place. We
will now more fully give his language in
making this denial. He says: "the charge
is fragrant misrepresentation of my re-
marks on that subject. 1 said, in sub
stance, that Immediately after the unfor-
tunate occurrence took place, public opin-
ion in Washington was against Mr.. Wise;
that j. Q. adams charged Wise with be-
ing the murderer of CilIey, and said that
he had entered the halls of legislation
while the blood Of Cilley was streaming
rom his fingers. In reply, Wise repel-
led the charge Indignantly. and proved to
the satisfaction Of all, that Henry Clay
had managed and controlled the whole al
fair, from beginning to end, and that he
{ Wise) acted, while on the field, and pre-
vious thereto, under written instructions
drawn up by Mr.. Clay. From that mo-
ment reaction took place in the public
mind, and Mr.. Wise stood honorably ac-
Quilted"
We have no doubt that many who as
sert that Gov. johnson made this charge
against Mr.. Wise, sincerely believe what
they say. Their mind has probably con-
fused what Mr.. johnson said was the Ian
guage of J. Q. adams, with his own re-
marks on that occasion. We have con-
versed with number of gentlemen on
this subject, who say that the remarks of
Gov. johnson, on the occasion above al
luded to, as we'll as at other places, fully
exonerated Mr.. Wise from all blame in his
connection with the Cilley duel.

Public Discussion.

Addresses were made 10 this place on
Monday last by Hon. Sam'l. L. Hays and
Col. A. J. Smith on the part of the Demos
cracy, and J. NJ. Jackson, Luther Hay>
mond and e. W. Lurty. for the Knows
Nothings. Other business prevented US
from hearing any Of these gentlemen ems
tirely through. One of the speakers cons
tended with much earnestness and zeal.
that the Democratic candidate for Covers
nor ought not to be trusted because he
had changed his politics. but forgot, pros
badly, to apply the same test to John NJ,
Patton, John S. Garlic, YIN. A. Harrison
and other Know Nothings.
ooh, consistency thou art jewel %
There was another thing that must have
struck the mind of ALL The champions
of Know Notningism were good old con.
sistent and uncompromising wings, whose
first and most ardent desire in politics, has
always been the democratic party's defeat.
There are also some of this same class Of
politicians in this country who will vote
for the whig portion OF the Knows Nothing
ticket alone-discarding those who have
acted with the Democrats. What more
evidence is necessary to prove that the
great aim Of 'hat party is to break down
the Democracy?

The Age of Progress copies our article
stating that Gov. johnson denies having
accused Henry A. Wise of causing the
death Of Cilley, and says:
"We do not believe that Gov. johnson
ever authorized you or any one else to
make the statement above attributed to
him. We challenge you to procure it."
Those in the habit Of Misrepresentation
and making gratuitous assertions, are FIRST
TO accuse others of it. Any person doubts
ing our authority for making the statement
we did last week, and repeat in this pa
per, can have those doubts removed by
calling upon US.

S1GNrF1CANT.-Whst will be the feelings
of Mr.. Beale and his supporters when they
learn the estimate placed on him by their
Know-Nothing friends in the State Of Mas
sachusetts? Has it come to this, that any
portion of the people of Virginia will en-
deavor to elect man to the high and res
ponsible Office OF Lieutenant Governor who
is claimed by the fanatics of Massachu-
sets as an Abolitionist. Far be it from
US to prefer this charge against Mr.. Beale.
1t is made not by US, but by his we'll
'wishers in Massachusetts. He must hold
them responsible. Without intending Ell
Their to make or endorse the charge, we
but repeat, for the information of the peo-
pie Of the Old Dominion, what the Know
Nothings of Massachusetts say of Mr..
Beale. The Boston Post says:
1.-The Nothing anti-slavery pa
pers here are representing Mr.. Bsale, the
Know>Nothing candidate for Lieutenant
Governor in Virginia. as decided Abo-
litionist. If he shall be chosen. it will be
claimed that Virginia is abolilionized."

Hon. =. fM. mason in Phillippi.

u .
Hon. j. M. Mason addressed the people
at Phillippi. Barbour county. on last
Thursday, the 10th inst. TWAS the first
day Of the Circuit Court. which was at
tended by large number of the sturdy
farmers Of that county.
Mr.. Mason spoke for three hours, and
during the whole time marked attention
was paid him. which Was only Interrupted
by applause from the crowd: His speech
was an able and logical address, in which
the rise, progress. principles and results Of
the different political parties of this coun>
try, were dispassionately discussed. In
his comments uponathe new feature in par
ty politics which has recently manifested
itself in this country, he completely tore
Know Nothingism into shreds and frag-
mems. He exposed the conhiction of the
Know Nothing obligation with the Gonsti-
tutions of the United States and Virginia.
&C., proved that their practices were not
in accord ance with their pledges, and de-
nounced the order as unworthy the confi>
dence of any one.
We have not room for any thing like a
notice of his remarks, and can only say
that Mr.. Mason's speech was well receiv-
ed by the people, who were universally.
pleased with it. He made many warm
personal friends and rendered the psrsy
good service.
He speaks in Clarksburg to-day, Wed
nesday.

DON'T DO III

Our opponents, experimenting an over
whelming defeat, not only in the State but
in the county, are endeavoriug to trade off
one Of their candidates TO secure the cleo
ton of the other. They are making over
lures to the friends of one of our candi-
dates to vote for him if they will vote for
VIM. A. Harrison. They are willing to
trade off Col. YIN. Johnson to defeat one
of our men. Let our friends NOT touch
that thing, but vote the WHOLE TIcKEr!-
This will secure the election of every m an
upon the Democratic ticket. flour friends
all vote, our entire ticket will be elected
by very large majority. There is no
danger of defeat if full vote is polIed.
Trading and staying at home are the on
ly things that CAN defeat us.

Ro. JOHNSTON. Esq We copy the fol-
lowing from the Richmond Enquirer:
The Democracy have evineed a just regard for
tho bOsL interest of tho State, in bringing for
ward some of the most distingui. he'd mon ofths
party for tho Legislature. Perhaps no previous
period in the history of Virginia, was there sbch
urgent need ofexporionce and ability in tho conn
oils of tho State. The affairs Of the State are I'm
doubleday in acritical condition, nd nnlossthey
are managed with skill and devotion, the public
wOal may sustain sirreParablo damages in tho
course of the next two years. -
Tho Democracy of Harrison have resented
worthy candidate for the Legislature, in tho
person Of Mr.. Robert johnston, who, a. Aud
itor Of Public Accounts and momber Of the
Board Of Public works, displayed con spicuouA
ability and fidelity in the service Of the State,
and won for himself high and Ond uring Tspu-
tation.
1t is cause ofcongratuIation wit every true
Virginian, that such man will BIO in the public
service, when matters ofbuOh high n6IaSnt will
BIO determined by tho next Legislature. fs5

The Court of Claims.

The National hteHigeneer says the impor-
tant Florida Claims are now up for considern-
tion, and the argument has been progressing
since Saturday. These claims arise under
the treaty Of 1919 with Spain, by which Flor
ida was acquired by the United States and a
part Of what is now The State of Texas was
coded 10 Spain. The ninth article provided
that there be a reciprocal remuneration of
certain enumerated claims on the part OF the
respective citizens or subjects Of each country
upon the other. These claims were settled
in pursuance of the tenth article, which pro.
vided that the United States, exoneta,ing
Spain from demands on account ofsuch claims,
should make satisfaction for the same 20 our
own citizens 10 an amount not exceeding FIVE
millions OF dollars. But The last clause OF
the ninth article provided for satisfaction by
the United States for injuries, if any, which,
by process of law, should be established 10
have been suffered by Spanish officers and in
dividual Spanish inhabitants, by the then hate
operations OF the American army in Florida
1t is under this clause that the claims now
before the Court have arisen. The amount
claimed exceeds a million Of dollars.
