pB- The National Convention of the Free
sellers in 1852, held at Pittsburg, over which
body John P. Hale presided, passed the follow.
ing resolution:
" Resolved, That emigraats and eriles from
the Old World should find cordial soelcome to
homes of comfort and fields of enterprise in the
New; and euery attempt to abridge their priv.
leges of becoming citizens and owners Of the
soil among us ought to be resisted ,cith inerible
determination"
This resolution, it is said, was reported by
Henry Wilson, the new Senator from Massa-
chusetts. Both Wilson and Hale are now
leading men in the new proscriptive Order of
Know-nothings Was there ever more mer-
cenary set of demagogues than the ambitious
men who lead in the counsels of this secret
political party2 As for Hale, we look upon
him as selfish and unprincipled politician.

6nitely placed, although we have many reasons
for saying that they are, mostly, if not entirely
| Abolitionists.
The people of Virginia and the people of
the South must scrutinize these developments,
if they would protect themselves from the rule
of an organization which is ruled by Adolf
tionists. We have presented the New Hamp-
shire vote. We have set forth the items which
made up the Know-nothing aggregate in that
State, and have shown how little has been really
taken from the Democracy. In considering
these figures, the people of the Sonth should
remember always that Know-nothism has tri-
umphed in the North because its unprincipled
suppleness permitted it to conspire with every
ism and unite all of them with the whig and
abolition forces in crusade against the De-
mocracy. But there are no isms in Virginia
or in the South. Hitherto there have been
Wings and Democrats alone. There is not,
therefore, much material for dishonest combi-
nations against the Democracy of Virginia,
and Of the South. Let them be on their guard,
however. Let them remember that the surest
way to win success, is to deserve it. Let them
always keep in view the narrow spirit, and
illiberal sentiments-the cunning concealments
and immoral oaths and dangerous DISCUSSES of
of the new underwriting all true and honest
voters against such anti-republican practice's--
and all will be WE'LL Ned Buntline's northern
invasion will be crushed out by the Old Do
minion-crushed out as sure as fate.

Ill-treatment of Wives.-While we were at
the watch-house, yesterday morning. an individual,
named Patrick Mcclure, was arraigned before
Justice Birch, charged with cruelty TO his wife.
Though he had recently inflicted deep wound
on her person, after coming home from a convivial
party, and though he had iltreated her in other
respects she failed TO appear against him. to testify
to her wrongs; but her sister made The complaint,
and related her narrative in manner which at
once conveyed conviction as TO its truth. In
default of security 10 keep the peace toward her
whom il was his duty 10 protect and love, he was
committed TO prison, where, we trust, he will in
dulge in such reflections upon his misconduct as
will lead him 10 repentance.
During the same morning, Mrs. Gibson com
planned to Captain Birch Of ill-lreatment from her
husband. She said that, on one occasion, while
asleep, she was saved from being murdered by an
individual who took from her husband a razor
with which he about to cut her throat, having
previously declared, with oath, that such was
his determination. He had frequently fogged her
for real or imaginary trivial offences.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest Of the
accused. Every man with heart of honorable
and humane impulses must desire that he receive
that degree of punishment which he so richly
merits

Two witnesses were examined, and they proved
the truth of the offence charged.
The Justice 10 the woman: 'Youll have 10 pay
a fine of Two dollars and half go 10 the work

Justice repeated, in higher key: You'll have
to pay fine OF TWO dollars and costs, or go to the
work-house. Do you understand that" "Iaon't
know; don't understand English" Laughter
on the part of the bystanders.l How long have
you been IN this conntry?" resumed the Justice.
"Two years. SIR" eThat's long enough TO under
stand English Further conversation ensued,
when the womanrose to depart; but police Off
Ger interfered, inviting her "to resume her seat
and keep COOL" assuring her, at the same time,
that nothing should hurt her.
She sent for frend--a native ofthe same coun-
try as herself but he had no money TO pay the
fine, and asked for trust He was informed that
officers Of the law transact their business on the
cash system :" An sure" said he, off 'twere NEE
self who was in, the devil Of penny, ! could fish
up from my breeches pocket [Laughter.l
The woman despatched the friend tor her hus-
band but as he did not return within reasona-
BILE period in company with the person after whom
he went in search, the female was conveyed to
the workhouse, either 10 serve out the term for
which she was sentenced, or until her welded
