RaIsiux


The Virginia election comes off to-day. II Is
useless TO speculate the result as In few short
hours, current events will have become history.
AS freedoms battles never won, we have the
same night 70 make here very soon. The last lie
may have been told there, but the same win be
repeated here Common causes have common
tactics. Jesuit craft, Locotoco policy and Fed
eral dictation, are now firmly fused, to put down
the spontaneous uprising Of American sentiment.
But TO my theme. The fayorte device in Vir-
ginia is the announcement of indefinite numbers
Ia indefinite places from indefinite causes, boiling
or withdrawing from the order. The same game
viii be played here, If il has not already begun.
Fortunately, the city is not so large but that any
cheat may be quickly known.
The few boilers at Harper's Ferry, ooned by
Charles Jesuit Faulkner, have been multiplied
faster than Falstaff's "men in buckram" So few
here, oscned by Doctor A. Alderman b., or Esquire
O., or Secretary d., or Auditor T., will, when they
have sold their birthrght for Of pottage, be
multiplied by indefnity. But 1t will not do. A
faithful devotion TO country is never so well cult
waited rs when in view of treason. Boiling is but
the sowing Of dragons teeth, from which spring
up EARNED men, to Stay our enemies
II is not to prevent boiling that this is written.
Ifthere is any one so weak as to be bondsman,
" him do I offend" in saying 90 If there are
any who, for filthy lucre, Or desire Of place, or
for tearof losing place. willing to vote other than
true and genuine American sentiment In Gods
name, let them go! The body is healed by the
severing of the leprous member.
But unlike guilty Macbeth, " Sam" would
have his guests stand in !" the order" of their
going. There is right way and q wrong.

But he who both from an organization into which
he voluntarily goes, the objects, aims, and means
of which were as in the American order they al
ways are, fully explained before he joins, for the
purpose ofusing the information obtained therein
to its disadvantage, is traitor, and something
worse, If that were possible.
Such an one publishes his own shame in action,
in characters blazing than words can express.
He presses the brand Of deep damning infamy to
his own brow. Human nature is ever the same.
A man hates another from the very consciousness
Of having injured him; so boilers war upon the
order when conscious Of sinister or unworthy mo-
tives. But Sam" is entirely serene, though his
adversary knows all the cards in his hand. he ex-

New YoRK, May pa despatch from Inde-

Fe mail has arrived. Business was dull, and
would continue SO until the arrival Of the trains.
The difficulties with the Indians had measurably
ceased in consequence of the active operations Of
the United States troops Col. Fauntelroy left
Fort Massachusetts, on the Sd in pursuit Of the
Utahs. Col. Strain, with three companies, two
volunteers and one regular, had preceded him,
and they were to meet at Laugre de Christie Pass,
but Col Strain coming across fresh trail Of the
Apaches followed them into the Ratou mountains.
After two days pursuit he overlook them, and
killed FIVE men, taking six women and two children
prisoners and destroying all the property found in
their possession. The prisoners informed Col.
Strain that the Indians were to meet at the juno
ton of the Red river and the Mora. Troops were
consequently despatched to that point to intercept
and destroy them.
Major Dusenbury is dead.

Giddings ON the Know-Nothing Party.
In an elaborate letter to the Ashtabula Sentinel,
of the nth instant Joshua R. Giddngs is out with
sensible and manly declaration of the principles
and policy by which he wishes to have his party
governed in the approaching campaign. He eI-
plcity and indignantly rejects the proposition Of
politicians for q union of the Republicans and
Know othings, declaring that he is "unmistaka-
bly, opposed to ALL secret political associations"
and denouncing them as being inconsistent and
cat war with equal rights and equal privilege"
We quote passage from his letter;
"The doctrine Of excluding our naturalized pop
ulaton from Office would not be merely unjust, de-
grading, and offensive TO them, but Ii would be
act Of oppression on our part unworthy Of honest
men.
at would be a violation Of republican faith.
Our organization was founded on the principles
Of consecratng the support Of liberty Of separating
IL entirely from the maintenance of slavery. In
this glorious cause thirty Thousand naurazed for
eigners united with us they are yd anxious to
carry out these objects. Towards them we should
act In good faith If so, we cannot vote for any
man who would exclude them from the same privi-
leges which we claim for ourselves. God forbid
that we should practice or encourage such inius-
| tce.

new order Is to establish privileged class, who
shall dictate TO the people and control elections.

swears 10 prefer members Of the order to all offices

conscience, and manhood, at the very threshold

ment.n

Not for ten years have there been so many Signs
Of general stampede for the West, as this pres
emit spring. A gentleman from the Northern part
of New Hampshire, who has been spending some
DAYS in this city, and who is on his way west with
his family informs us that not less than one hum
dred individuals have sold their farms In Coos and
Essex counties within three months past, and gone
or going westward. He says farming In that To-
cality has not paid at all for two years past The
lands there have not recovered from the long con-
tinued drought Of 1850. The uplands have become
dry and sterile and there Is no prospect they will
become ordinarily productive again until they are
put through good course Of cultivation. To
effect this win cost from $s to tl2 per acre--an
outlay In each case sufficient In amount TO procure
a fipe farm In Wisconsin or Minnesota. Little
doubt Is there entertained that the present year
viii prove as disastrous TO the farmers as the last
The crops which have formerly been depended
upon there, have one after another been abandoned
for want of success. Wheat Is now no longer a
reliable crop-beng subject to the attack Of the
weevil and the rust Herds grass seed and clover
seed cannot be raised now except upon new cleared
| lands Corn has doubtful chance of success and
seldom paws for the careful and expensive cultiva-
ton the crop requires. Consequently for three or
four years past farmers in that region have engaged
more and more in raisingneat stock, making butter
and cheese, and fattening pork. The unusual dry
| ness of the last season reduced the dairy produce
fully one-third and the cattle, such as found their
way to Market were mostly Of the very poorest and
| most undesirable character. Neat cattle in Coos
county this spring, would not sell for sum equal
TO the cost Of the forage they have consumed the
past winter at the current prices-and the grain
fed TO the swine for fattening purposes last fall,
would command more money than the pork when
In market
Should the present season prove as bad as the
last, nothing can prevent general exodus from
| New Hampshire and States adjoining except the
inability TO sell out, and consequent want Of funds
necessary to the Western emigrant
Our Vermont exchanges make mention of ar
unusual movement there for the West, and the
"fever" Is quite prevalent in the north Of us in oul
own State. The Ballston Journal says, forty fami
lies have left that village for the West the present
spring. A gentleman from Wayne county in
/ forms MS that more farmers selling lands anc
going West this spring, than he has had know
ledge Of before in years. The high prices Of pro
duce Of all kinds are not, as many suppose, en-
rching the farmers The effect of the short crops
Of last year Is yet seriously felt A fun crop thu
coming fall is the last and only hope not only Q
the farmer, but Of nearly all classes who are sigh
ing for better times.--7roy Wing.

We admit into our columns, without hesita-
ton, and even with pleasure, the letter signed
"Georgetown," and the resolutions adopted by
"Eutaw Council in that city. II seems that
the members did not wait for the arrival Of the
LIST of June, to pay the first instalment of their
contribution, but proceeded at once to pay up
the one-fourth Of six hundred dollars, this sum
being about one dollar each for the members
Of the party there. This movement is in uni
son with the plan adopted by the Board Of
Managers and we doubt not will be seconded
by all the councils of our friends in the United
States, and if so, the present year will not ex-
pire, before our treasury will be SO amply sup
piled as to ensure the prompt completion Of the
Monument
It is a part of the plan to ask the National
Council, soon to meet in Philadelphia, to take
proper measures to communicate to the State
and subordinate councils throughout the coun-
try, and it is probable that within five or six
months our party throughout the land will be
at work raising the necessary funds for that
work.
We will here repeat what we said on for
mer occasion, that whilst the American
party have by their action here, on the 22d
day Of February last, assumed the response
bility of building the Monument it is not the
purpose Of the Board, to refuse donations from
others who do not belong to our party.far
from it. Any and all contributions will be
gratefully received from any citizen Of the
United States, who desires to manifest his APP
probation Of the services and character Of the
immortal founder Of our Republic
We entertain the hope therefore, that all
editors Of presses, politicians, and other citi-
zens, who may be friendly to the great object
in view, viii adopt such measures as may re-
suit in the general diffusion Of the plan Of ope-
rations, adopted by the Board Of Managers,
and in the realization of the amount necessary
to raise the Monument to its destined alti-
tude,--to surround it with Pantheon, suited
to the lofty shaft, and to beautify the sur
rounding grounds, in manner worthy Of the
structure and of him whose hallowed name it
bears.
Our friends in Georgetown are entitled to all
praise, for the prompt and efficient measures,
they have adopted, and for the material
aid" they have thus periodically furnished,
and we are authorized to say, that our party
in Washington city, have already taken steps
of similar character, and which will very
soon produce similar results. Let all Ameri-
cans initiate these examples, and the splendid
Monument to Washington, will soon be COM
pleted, adjoining the city Of his name, and at
tracing the admiration Of all beholders.
