REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE NOR.
FOLK DELEGATION.

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-In response to the Nor.
folk committee, the President after consultation
with the Cabinet caused an order. to be issued to
the commandants at the Gosport Navy Yard, giving
him direction to advance months pay to the EN-.
ploees who wish to leave Portsmouth, and close the
Yard if necessary; at the same time directing the
commandants of other yards to employ refugees. 1t
is probable other suggestions will be made by the
Executive to-day. The President assigned as rea-
for being compelled to decline the committees
request that there was no suitable place to remove
the troops and occupants, who number about 1900
in all, and time was required for preparation and
removal. He said the subject of relief was the prn
cipal cause of his carly return from the Virginia
Springs.
Several cabinet meetings had been held to consid-
er the subject
The President gave the committee on behalf Of the
Cabinet, 1858 and stating that his private purse
was at their disposal. 'l.

GENTLEMEN: Your note informing me that have
been elected to deliver the address upon the ann-
versary of the Raleigh Typographical Society, on
the 10th instant has been received. The short time
allowed for preparation might well deter me from
responding to your wishes, in this respect; but the
honor conferred upon me by the Society heretofore
renders me unwilling to decline any duty imposed
though very much fear shall hardly be able to
justify your expectations in the selection.

H The Editor Of the Fayetteville Argus, speak.
ing of the number of persons foreign born in this
The paucity of their numbers only shows the
meanness Of a party that would impeach the rights
and endanger the institutions Of the whole native

The foregoing contains gross and deliberate
SANDER on the Democratic party. .
Did not the Editor of the Argus support Gen.

take the ground in 1852, and the Editor of the Ar
gus endorse it, that all foreigners who should
ono year in the army or navy should be admitted 10

look like effort to the votes Of persons for
esn borns Failing to do so, however, these un.
princpled Know Nothing Editors turn round and
abuse and calumniate the Democrats because a ma
orty of the naturaized citizens choose to vote with
them. Look at your Philadelphia platform, Mr..

We deeply regret to learn, from the Petersburg
papers of Wednesday, that there is abatement in
the terrible pesteace now ra-aging Norfolk and
Portsmouth.
"From sunrise to midnight" writes correspond.
ent of the Express under date Sept. 3d. fifty poor
creatures were shovced away under the cold sod"
The feeling was awful among all classes. Many
were making their escape. Whole families were
being swept off. Great distress prevailed, for the
want Of physicians, nurses, nourishment, and pro-
visions.

Rev. Mr. Jones of the African Church, were among
the sick
Mr.. Finch, of the Argus, is not dead, as reported
but still in good health and at his post; nor was DIR.
William Collins, of the Seaboard Road, sick, as was
stated.

Forty persons dead with the fever are awaiting
burial in town to-day. We can't pretend to find out
their names-they scattered about so in differ
ent lanes and alleys-and only note prominent ones
1t being found impossible to dig single graves,
large pit has been dug and the cons placed in lay
above each other and so filled up with lime and
dirt"
A meeting has been held at Hampton, at which
committees were appointed in aid of Norfolk and
Portsmouth, Committees were also requested to
wait upon the President and upon the Governor OF
Virgnia-to ask of the latter all the assistance in
his power and of the former permission for the peo
ple of Norfolk and Portsmouth to remove to and
cupy the grounds of Fortress Monroe

Of slave holdurs, where slavery exists, by
all laws and statutes that can be enforced,
and human intelligence does not revolt at.
But this is none such. 1t could not be en-
forced, as was vel! said in the debate on its
passage even in South Carolina, much less
in Kansas. 1t is foolish in operation and
will prove reactionary. Massachusetts, as
suredly destroyed the KnowNothing party
in the United States. by the ultra course OF
her Legislature-by ignoring the Fugitive
Slave Law-and by enacting the Personal
Liberty Bill. The result, too, will prove
that the Kansas Legislature has done more
to destroy the prospect Of making that ter
ritory a slave State, By its ill-tempered,
senseless, school-boy legislation, and by the
enactment of the present "Black Laws" p"
than could have been effected by all the CO.
horts of the Emigrant Aid Society. or BY
all the zeal of Northern fanatical diyinea"

Let the People Remember.

The election of Medill over Chase would
be an endorsement of the passage Of the
Nebraska Bill; for he IS in favor of that bill
and would have voted for it if he had been
a member of the last Congress.
Il would be an endorsement Of the re-
moyal of Governor Reeder; for he dare no:
express an opinion against that act.
1t would be an endorsement of all the
acts of the Pierce dynasty; for he is a warm
supporter of Mr. Pierce.
Ii would be an endorsement of the elec-
ton of Mr.. Pugh to the United Safes Sen
ate; for Mr.. Pugh was elected by the par
ty which put Medill in nomination.
It would be an endorsement of the out
RACES committed by the satellites of Atch-
ison and Stringfellow; for the Administration
which Medill supports, openly countenanced
those outrages.
Il would be an endorsement Of the doc
trine that slavery is National; for Medill vo-
ted in favor of paying to slave drivers, out
of the national treasury, the value of slaves
who had liberated themselves on board the
brig Creole, and who had been declared
free by court of inquiry.
1t will be we'll for the people of Ohio to
bear these thingsin mind, and to determine
on which side they will stand-on that o.
freedom, or CT that Of slavery. There is no
possibility of avoiding those issues, as they
have been so definitely and plainly made By
the contending parties, that the whole re
sponsibility now rests on the people.

A Voice from one of the Fathers

A Voice from one Oh Jne EAtAcrS'
We copy with much pleasure from the
Dayton Journal, the following excellent and
patriotic letter from the venerable Col,
JOHNSON, one of the Pioneer fathers ofthe
State
Well does this letter illustrate the saying
of the ancient writer sold men for coun-
Gil, young men for war" We commend this
letter to all our readers Clsvs. Her.
NOTE FROM COL. JOHN JOHNSON.
MEssRs. CoMLY-I agree with you fully
that the true issue to be tried by the free
men Of Ohio on the Second Tuesday of Oc-
tober next, is the reform of the State Gov
ernment. The slavery question is still kept
in the foreground when the people, with
unanimity unprecedented, one year ago
have disposed of it by sending twenty-one
good and true men to the Congress of the
United States to attend to that natter
This ought to suffice for the present, and
let us take care of matters which vitally
concern us at home. But do not agree
with you in opposing the election of Mr..
Chase. The nomination Of that gentleman
was fair one, and made in strict contorml-
ty with the usages of the Wing Republican
party in Ohio. As one of the old Wing
journals of the State, I doubt your right
Hooking to the condition of the prevailing
parties, and the momentous issues TO be
tried to oppose that nomination; you are too
old in the party conflicts of the times not to
know that division is death to the RePubl-
can ticket. l have exercised the right of
suffrage sixty years, and in all that long
period it has seldom been my lot to vote a
general ticket without having the name of
some candidate that did not approve Of;
so it has, doubles, teen with many others.
never scratched ticket. The Wing
party cannot now succeed Of itself; and
without the aid of others those in power
must again triumph, and the public evils so
universally complaind Of be entailed upon
the commonwealth. So FAR as the reform
of public affairs is concerned Mr. Chase will
answer our purpose as well as any other
man. Many Of the evils under which the
State labor, in all charity, may be traced
10 honest ignorance. Men are sent 10 Co
lumbus totally unfit, by education and hab-
it for the duties of Legislation. The pres
ent public disorders call for the bes! talents
men of years and experience-the men Of
property-the taxpayers. and those who
have the largest stake in the commonwealth
Such are the mes that are wanted at Coum-
bus next winter. Your friend,
JoHE JOHNSON.
