For The "siar q the Kanawha vaiiey.'

GEsrLEMrs AS there are many persons
in the valley Of the Kanawha, and possi-
bly throughout Virginia who. honestly be-
lieye there is no alliance or sympathy be-
tween the Know Nothings and Abolition
lists of the North bull, who on the contrary
are led to believe, that il is . National or
ganization, designed for the good Of the
whole country, equally protecting the
rights Of an, that I deem It right and pro-
per. thew should be undeceiyed upon this
subject, and have their attention directed
TO some Of the many proofs and circum-
stances, which may be adduced in estab-
fishing this fact beyond controversy
Those proofs are so numerous, that III
would require volumes 10 detail one
half of ali that has been disclosed with
in o few weeks past, going 70 establish
this dangerous truth, dangerous 70 the
guaranteed rights and institutions o. the
South, the peace and pcrpetuity Of the un-
ion. / am, therefore, at loss todetermine,
which, of the many, should be selected as.
best calculated to subserye the purpose
have Iinview. 1t is}perfectly well known
to all, who have given the least attention
to events that are daily passing among US
as nation, that this new Organization has
swept over. the Northern States Of this Re-
public, and borne down by its power the
friends Of constitutional liberty wherever
it has gone. Y .'5 IT,
In Massachusetts,, they have elected an
anti Nebraska, Freesoil Goremour Gard
ner, o legislature composed almost solely
Of Abolitionists and Freesoilers, many Of
whom are of the higher law order Of Fa-
natics. 7 This legislature (althpug Oh almost
exclusively Wing according 10 old party
lines) has supphnted Ed. Everett, a sound
national Whig, an accomplished gentleman
and worthy Statesman, by the election Of
General Henry Wilson to the us. Senate,
whose sole qualification for the exalted
station, consists in his inveterate opposi-
ton to lavery, and: abuse Of those, who,
will not like himself, yilify and denounce
the institutions of the South. They want
ed, as they alleged, a representative on the
floor of the Senate, ",corthy 70 stand by de
side of Charles Summer" in his unjustand
Ubiquitous warfare upon the Constitutional
rights Of Virginia and the South.
They have elected an entire delegation
to Congress of Freesoilers and Abolition
lists, among whom stands prominent, the
notorious Abolition lecturer, Anson Burr
lingame. This isthe bitter faults Of Know
Nothingism in Massachusetts,. That par
ty, which we were told was 10 constitute
the great National Conservative party fof
the county, which was to preserve unsulled
its time honored intitutions, and dispense
its blessings like the gentle dews Of heaven
equally upon the heads OF ALL has thus
shown itself in its true character, and
whatever it may profess, acts speak louder
than words, and think | will bekable to
convince any unprecedented mind that it is
composed of Abolitipnists, Freesoilars and
anti Nebraska men, fusion Of all the isms
Of Fanatics Of the country, who al re enga,
ged in a wicked and unworthy effort to
brake down the good and conservative Of
all parties, who will not join them il theil
unholy crusade against the constitution o.
i .Aeir, coiintry. With secukes T. then tn
liberties They thus abuse. What has been
said Of the men they have elected to of.
fee in Massachusetts, may be said with
} equal prdpriety, of those they have elected
from Maine to Wisconsin. r. r. - MI
: InPenhsylvania, they have defeated Big.
, gler for Governor, one of the ablest de.
tenders Of Constitutional liberty, and cleo.
ted Pollock, anti Nebraska, to the chic
magistracy Of the State. Montgomery
Wright, Shalear, and others of her repre-,
sentativesI in Congress, who stood by the
South in defence Of her rights in the las
Congress, has been defeated by them, and
open and ayowed Abolitionists and anti.
Nebraska men elected in their stead. T
In Michigan, every Know Nothing elec
: ted to Congress, is pledged against Tho
South, and the admission of any more
! slave States. A large majority of her 10
3 gislature, elected by them, are Abolition
l lists and Freesoilers, who have recently in
, structed their Senator's in Congress, to ad
vocate theIrepeal Of the fugitive slave law
: or resign their seats in that body. MI
