I'll, Way 70 Test Them.

- N II
Why Is It that we can publish the name
Of any individual as a Democrat or a
Wing without eliciting the least objection
and if we publish him as . Know-No.
thing, he at once takes exception, and
complains that we are Safeguarding him!
A Democrat or q Wing is not ashamed
to be known as such; Know Nothing
takes it unkindly If you hint It to him
intimates that it will injure him. In the
name Of common sense, then, why do you
affiliate with an organization that you are
ashamed 81, and think 1t o disgrace TO Be
charged with having connection with
i'll u this the course or conduct Of On
honorable man? Actions speak louder
than words. Genaemep should not form
associations which mantle their brows
with shame 10 have their connection with
them known.-Le,sistorn Dem.

Decision OF Breach d Promise Suit.

A suit, which created considerable o.
musement and attracted, large numbers Of
persons to the Court House 70 hear its de-
cision, was decided by the Circuit Court
Of the county Of Chesterfield on Wednes-
day last, Judge Jno. w. Nash presiding.
Tho Petersburg Intelligencer gives the
following outline Of the case:
The plaintiff was widow lady by the
name Of Walden, aged about sixty years,
in very moderate circumstances, and the
defendent was wealthy widower, about
the same age as the plintif, by the name
Of Phaup. It seems that some time since
Mr.. Phaup. having imbibed rather freely
ofthe ardent, while in that condition call
ed upon Mrs. Vanden, and finding her
company at that particular time very q
greeable, he proposed to marry her. To
this proposition she very readily and un.
hesitating yielded her assent. After Mr..
Phaup had returned home and slept Of
the exhilarating effects Of. the liquor, he
refused to perform his part OF the engage
ment. Mrs. v. had the old gentleman
promise and determined to hold him on
TO the bargain, or make him pay dearly for
his indiscfetion. So the matter was car
ried into Court, the plaintiff laying claim
to go, 900 damages. Able counsel were
employed on both sides, and the case ex-
cited considerable interest from the nov
city; consequently large number Of the
citizens Of Chesterfield assembled at the
Court House to hear the rendering Of the
final decision of the Court. The suit, un-
fortunately for the widow. was decided in
favor Of the defendant. The counsel for
the plaintiff were Messrs, Giles and Mas
tiers, and for the defendant Messrs. Rhodes,
Jones and Finney:.
