MR. FLoURNoY AND SLAVERY.

Unwilling to do the least injustice to Mr. Flournoy
ws transfer the following article from the lIhtg OF
Wednesday:
J, THE KSow-NoTHISo NoalSEE FOR GOVERNOR
. FREC-SoILLR l-lt is now more than q week since
we gave publicity to the statement, of n respectable
Cen,ienan OF Charlotte, tina, in 1916 the know-So-
thug nominee for Governor, asserted in a public
81. rch, and maintained by argument, that NE degsnC-
,cty OF Virginia IS due 70 negro S}arcTy, and that 40
~eornaai:y can prosper r'" "a an '"sttut'o" ." rs
nasds:. We challenge the llhig to controvert the
fan, and we directed its attention TO several gentle
men Of both parties, who have It i'll their power t.
dsc-cdit the story, if it be false. The WIG has hat
~sufhcior; tine TO communicate with Mr.. Flournoy
md 20 ascertain whether he did in fact utter and does
now entertain, the sentiment imputed to him. lhs
statement has unquostionably mot the eye OF his
friends, and they have had ample opportunity 10 III
ec:-s into the truth Rtchmond EnYnsrer.
We heve heretofore treated tho above ridiculous
ehsrre with profound silence. because we thought NJ
mcn IN Virginia could possibly be fool enough to be-
!ieva it, or could possibly DC partisan enough &c
effect TO believe il. Our neighb"r has been imposed
p,on, ard we now appeal TO his cnndor to correct Inc
Misrepresentation in respect 10 the sentiments attrlou'

EE, or UPON any occasion, used such language. W.
hope this is ruticiently explicit and emphatic. We
shall sse whether the Enquirer will correct this ri
diculous and silly charge. it has no foundation in fac:

FROM SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.

A letter from Washington county, addressed 10 the

deeplv regret to say, that the latest offspring OF
Yankee fanaticism, Know-Nothingism. has acquired
some footing amongst US, IN Tins stroheAol9oi eur W..

cr.nlest deguneracv, should have concoctca u pat
form of principles, which n candidate Tor chiet ma

pecially and deeply" interesting ITO the South, Is
certainly something strange. NO noheSi u'a"' ~ n'

Our MINORITY will probably be more diminished in

MANY of our party have joined them; but lew more
