The true Democrat., 1855-09-18


 sus' the Virginian states here are somewhere about fourteen thousand foreign votes in Virgi- nia." We should like to see the "census'' to which he refers and, at the same time, we hope that some one in Washington will send to the editor of the Abingdon Virgnan a copy of the Compendium of the seventh cen sus.' According to this work, the entire foreign born population of Virginia, including men women and children, old and young, na- turaized and alien, is 22,9 ,953. For the benefit of the Vlrsinian, let us admit that all these have been naturalized; although every body knows that such is not the fact. We believe that it is generally agreed that the voting popu- lation is to its total population as one to six: but again, for the benefit of the Virginian. we will estimate 1t as one Is to five. Then, how stands the case in Virginia? Why out of a gross population of p 953 foreigners, there are only 4,59O foreign-born voters, and admitting that aH of these voted the democratic ticket (another extraordinary concession for the bene- lit of the Virginian,) and stating Mir Wises majority at 1OO19, we still find that it requ- res 5,429 votes to make that majority. Or, in other words, throw out of consideration the en- tire foreign uote cast for MT. Wise and he still has clear majority of the native-b born popu latlon of tsve housand four hundred and t,oenty. mine.
 i How is it in Tennessee? We believe it is generally understood that Johrson's majority is not less and is probably more than 2,OO6. The whole foreign-bo born population in that State is 5,938. Applying the rule and making the admissions as above, and the voting foreign | born population cannot be more than l127 which, if thrown out of view altogether, will leave Johnson still elected by majority of the native born population of Tennessee, of not less than eight Hundred and seyeaty-t5ree
 And how is it in NorM Caroliaa? In this respect, North Carolina is one of the last States that should be cited to sustain and prove such a know nothing "fact'' as we are considering In North Carolina there are only 5,565 of for eign-born population, naturalZed and unnatu- raliZed, men, women and children horse, foot and dragoons" By the liberal rules observed in the preceding cases, we arrive at the fact that this foreign born population furnishes 5l3 voters. Take these 5l3 foreign votes from r. 800 democratic majority in the late elections in that State, and the pleasing assurance is given to the editor of the Abingdon Nirginan that the aatiUe democratic majority in the good old State of North Carolina is just Seven thousand t,oo hundred and eighty-seven!
 |" An onain0us tact! YeS three "ominous" facts: and the aforesaid editor will be furnished with ''more of the same sort' before he Is many moments older.
 How was it that the editor failed to notice Aabama? Couldn't he also find another omi- nous fact in the history of the recent election m that State? We advise him to make the trial of his ingenuity, and to hazard another effort in experimenting upon the credulity of his readers. To aid him as far as we can, we will give him the benefit of afew figures. We have no doubt he will find them "ominous'' before he is done with them. Alabama has foreign born population, all told, of 7,498, which upon the principle of calculation heretofore explained, Is represented by 1,499, say 300 votes The latest and most reliable intelligence that we have of the result of the late election ill Alaba- ma, is, that Winston, (democrat,) is elected Go vernon by about 12 GOO majority By the sim pie and easy application to these figures, of the editors knowledge of substraction he will doubt less reach a conclusion which he will be fully justified in calling an onainous fact"'
 No! Twist and turn, conceal, and hate it as you may, tue |" fact' is, that ka0ao nothiagisna at tue so,Hh has been beaten sOundiy, nertto'iOusy by true notwithstanding, Unior-loving loyal Anae- rdcans. And so may it ever be.
 INDIAN MURDERs.-The Indianola (Texas) Bulletin, ofthe 24th ult., says:
 Just as we were going to press, friend handed Us the following item of intelligence, just in by the San Antonio mails Eve men of the party belonging to Capt. Pope's expedition | Typographical engineers) have been cruelty butchered near their camp on the Pecos We publish the following extract from letter from one ofCapt. Pope's party to MT. A. Murdock of this place: Camp, PecoS July 5, 1855. | One of the teamsters and four of the soldiers having been sent with a team of ten mules to haul water to Mir. Brown and his party, about twelve or thirteen miles from this camp on the 18th ult., they were met on their return next day by the Indians, and all of them frghtfully butchered Some of them had eight or nine arrows, and none less than four or five in them; three of them were scalped, and all of them had their clothing taken of; the mules were taken, and all the leather part of the harness cut and taken off 1 had been with party to Fl Paso, and two days after my return to our camp an express came from Ell PaSo with the news of an attack having been made on the express from Fort Clark to the post on the head of the Olympia. Five of their men were killed and fourteen mules stolen.
 Under the circumstances, 1 consider myself fortunate in being alive. With regard to our we'll boring operations, we are progressing very finely; we have bored over 800 feet. 1 think in a few days we will have reached pointt that will force water to the surface.
 We may remove from here pretty soon.
