Mr.. venabIe will vote for Mr.. Branch.

The Register of Wednesday last We learn from
reliable authority that the statement contained in that lit
eray treiqn Organ the "Warrenton News that Mr. Ven
able would support Mr. Branch for Congress- entirely
unwarranted''
The Editor of the News Mr.. Ezel, did not receive the
Register containing the above time to enable him
ply to it in his last ISSUE but he has written to the
subject and repeat his authority, the statement
first made in the News. Mr.. Eze met Mr.. Venable in
Petersburg recently and Mr. Venabe told him that he
opposed to the Know Nothngs-that he liked both Mr.
Branch and Mr. Shepard personally but that principle
he should for Mr.. Branch. There be for
doubling the truth of this statement In addition to this
"HoN ADRIAN VENABLE-The *. Ms circulating

Mr. Venable's coat-a On principle Mr. Venable shakes
him off. Every gentleman who spoken of by friends
for the nomination, voted for in Convention at Frank

The Register has done gross injustice to the Warrenton
News. Mr. EzePs ancestors for hundred years
back, na0e born A1neicans and the News is alike
and able in its advocacy of genuine American prnc

stood Mr. b. The latter has written letter Mr. Rayner
and another Judge Ellis late of the Washington Organ
explaining the matter He says
mistaken to the purpOrt of the remarks made
by the representative cf the Pope at Madrid 1t
not that he knew beforehand that Mr. Campbell would be
appointed and as member of the Catholic Church.
that he knew anything about it before the appointment
actually made. What have said. and what repeat
is that before had certain of the formation of
