SENATOR DOUGLAS SPEECH

We wish that every Virgnian could have hear(
tho powerful speech Of Stephen A. Douglus the able
Senator from Illinois, delivered before an immense
crowd in tho African Church ON Tuesday night. IIis
argument was massive, aud of granite-lko solidty
Ii appealed to the PATRIOTISM common-seuse a,l hon.
esty of every son of Virginia. 1t showed up Know
Nothingism, at the North and Wcst, in it's real
hdeous colors. The testimony of Senator Douglas
cannot be impugned by the Wings and Know. n 9th.
ngs-for their presses have fully endorsed his cal.
antry and noble devotion to Unconstitutional rights
of the South. And what was that testimony ltwas
delivered in clear and simple and manly language
and it was, that in the North and West tho National
Democracy, fighting for the execution Of the Fugitive
slave law under the express acquisitions Of the Con.
-ttutou, and for the principles of the Nebraska BILL
had been overwhelmed by the "fusion" party, made
up OF -Nothings, AJOlitonists and other advo-
Gates OF the monstrous isms of the day. Senator
douglas showed conclusively that the Know Moth.
-, '' Tho North aud Wost were under tho control
>.e 'o''''ionsts, and his startling facts, aud con-
"'Su'hents must sink deep into the hearts OF
every patriot who listened to him.
oeua'or nouglas was peculiarly eloquent when, in
rldcui'i!e Tie "daAgers of forecn nauenee" he re.
'0'teu ~ '"' examples in his own State. The first
was 'eneral Shields who had spilled such stream
OF blood nearest h heart in defonce of tbe honor Of
the coun'ry-and yet was shamelossly ostracised by
the Know-Nothings! The second instance w,s ,ba,
ofold John Moore, who was English born, but Ind
lived fifty years in this country-who had been s.ct.
ed State Treasurer Of Illinois, and who, in his oc;o,
capacity, had refused to allow the State Capitol to bs
defed by the speeches Of Abolition dsuuionists as
Giddings and Csssius N. Clay, but would
always throw open the doors to national men,
Wings and Democrats, who spoke and acted for
the maintenance Of the sacred guarantees of the
Constitution. Senator Douglas beautiful and truly
eloquent pictures of those two noble mon, drew down
thsudeu Of applause,

A VOICE OF WARNING TO TIE SOUTH.
The suIjOnod extract was takcn from letter writ
ten to tho editor of tho Washington Union, and will
be read with grent interest:
although nm scarcely able To hold the pen am
using feeble and imloten my voice may bc, cnl-
not iorbear warning You, and through you the South.
the whole South, to beware of tho lnachiuations of
the secret IN well open foes of our glorious Union.
New Hampshire tho Gibraltar Of northern Denoc-
racy, has fallen, aud lot not the South be for mo-
nent deceived IA 10 the appliances used or the effects
10 he produced by the overthrow of northern drnnc-
racy; for should she for nnrelt suffer herself to
listen to the syren song OF native AmcrcaIism, nnS
KNOWN Nothingsn she will have cause To repent hrrf-
tai deluron, in sackcloth and ashes, it in hl""d.
speak advisedly, and spc X kuuwiu.ly when say
that the now triumphant party in THIS Slate all
tio,ists. n Their urwly,custel ,.mTsrs % Of Con-.
grcss are Lndcriably addition j. oi the Laikcst
dyc.-men who regardless of Consequences, will
do all in their power to pro,trats the South. What
are laws, or even constitutions, IN men who openly
advise furc6lc resistance even lnto blood, 10 laws
regularly aud deliberately cuaccS! The cry Of down
with foreigners, down with CatlSlicism is mere de-
lusion, gotten up for no other purpose than gull
trap to catch tho unwary, and cali III the aid OF priest
ridden zcaots. Do you, or does any one doubt THU
If 50, take q calm survey of the leaders are they
truly religious mc, anxious for the purity of religious
faith or are they not notorious political hacks, whose
ever-changinS courses have rendered them notorious
as office c-scckers and AZ destitute of anything like
genuine religion as any other set ui men that be
found Those of LID who are personally acquainted
with the wire-puers and leaders in local districts
know, and know TO acertainty that, for the part
they are nc,uatcd by anything but religious feelings
No. sir, disguise or attempt t" conceal II as they may
or do, their true aim and object is hostility 10 the
South, and, among many of tbem hostility deadly
hostility, to the Union. New Hampshire has been
caught in the trap. Lot the Sodth tnke warning
yes take warning it is too late. Those un'crupu-
lous decelvcrs are among lhem and, if successful,
farewell to the brightest hopes that ever dawned OH
