PHILIPPI, Va, Jan. 6, 1855.
Mr.. COOPER IL trust it will not be pre-.
Stunning too much if enquire Of the read
ers Of your excellent paper-especially oil
those who claim to be Denocrats-what
has become of the Wing party-that en-
thusiastc set Of partizans who hitherto
from the stump shouted orally Whigs"-
who, in 1910, boosted of log cabins. coon
skins and hard cider-who, but two short
years ago, flooded every nook and corner
Of our country with their plausible docu-
ments, pleading for foreign and Catholic
votes, and denouncing the Democratic
party and its leaders as their enemies
who, but as yesterday, with Gen'l. Scott
at their head, bid for the foreign vote with
their eulogiums upon the "Irish brogue'
and the harmonious accent of the Ger
man ~ Did the party cease to survive
under the name of Whiggery, with the
death of their giant leader, Henry Clay ?
And is it true that these tricksters, this
wreck OF disappointed and inconsistent
politicians, heretofore as heterogeneous as
Macbeth's witches, have, all of a sudden,
conglomel ated in Know -Nothingism, and
engaged in one grand crusade against our
own time-hallowed institutions? Itseems
to be so. Every Wing paper from the eli
ty, down to the little village sheet, is la
dened with the anathemas Of these secret
midnight plotters against the constitution,
that valuable instrument which has so eau
tiously assumed, and SO accurately de-
fined and divided the powers and prerog-
atives of our central supremacy.
Know Nothingism has proclaimed itself
the foe of the South and the ally Of North
ern fanaticism. No friend of the South
no admirer of our republican institutions,
can look upon Know NOthingism with the
least degree of allowance. The recent
elections have shown the cloven foot of
these midnight pro ectors, and Democrats
should be up and doing, armed with their
agis, least by the hue and cry of these
JAGos, that "Americans must rule Amer
lea, they be deceived, and learn their sad
fate when it is unalterably fixed.
Has our country ever been ruled by any
body else than Americans? Who have
been the Presidents of the United States {?
Who the Governors Any foreigners
among them think not. Go into the
House of Representatives and the Senate
chamber. Any foreigners there? Not
one, l believe. Then pray why all this
cry of ''down with foreigners and Catho-
lies ?" Is it for honest purposes No
It is for this: to enable Whiggery to sue
coed by taking advantage Of the unsus-
pecting part of our citizens. and to enlist
strength on the part of the Wings by
Democrats to defeat Democracy.

Afrairsin Kansas Territory.

William G. Matthias, Esq, (late of West
minister, Nd clerk to the Territorial
court in Kansas, over which S. Dexter
Eecompte, Esq. late of Baltimore will pre-
side,as Chief Justice, writing to the West
minister CarroIltonian from Fort Leayen-
worth, under date of the 25th ultimo,
says:
Judge Lecompte end family left US at
st. Louis for Iowa to pay visit to his sis
ter, but will be on in a few days. We,
together with a young doctor. and Mr.;
Martin F. Conway. OF Baltimore, and
three other young gentlemen, have been
kindly taken aud cared for at one of the
government farm houses which. by the
by, is as comfortable as any place in'the
vicinity of old Westminster, SO that We
are nicely fixed, aud happy as needs be
under the circumstances. But many will
be compelled to leave before the winter
sets 10. or obliged to starve. as provisions
of all kinds are scarce and consumers plen-
~.
The Territorial Government has not
yet been completed, and from the gene
raj aspect oil affairs at present, it will
not be fully completed ill uexs spring.
The present seat OF government is at
Johuson's Mission, about thirty miles be-
/ low this point, where the Governor and
+, Secretary of State have prepared for vim
ter quarters, and at which point we shall
also winter. unless our court shall organ
ize before the first day Of January next ;
in that.eyent we shall winter A. Westport,
about four miles further in the interior
from Johnson's Mission.
| I; &c enid thot ENUoHnar Paa1ar of
Kansas, will refuse to give certificate of
election to the delegate just chosen TO rep
resent that Territory in Congress, be-
cause of the ilegaIity of voies-a large
party from Missouri having entered Kan
sas on election day, to secure the choice
of a pro-slayery candidate. The invasion
outnumbered the resident citizens of Kan
sas. The call npon him to appoint an
immediate election of delegates to the
State Legislature has been refused.
and the election postponed until spring.
The Governor says the memorial was not
signed by citizens of Kansas, but those of
Missouri. The Governor saws:
" The pledges of the law must be re-
deemed, and it were a poor, a pittiless
boon 10 have escaped flom the nomiua-
ton Of Congress, if we are only TO pass
under the hands of another set of SELF
constituted rulers, foreign to our soil, and
sharing noue of our burdens, no matter
what may be their virtues or their words
as men and citizens at home. 1t may be
very desirable for gentlemen to live
among the comforts of the States. with all
the accumulated conyeniences and luxu-
ries of An old home, and make an occa-
sioual expedition into our territory, to ar
range our affairs -insLruct our people and
public officers, and control our govern
ment-but it does not suit us, and much
mistake the people Of this territory if they
submit to it. One thing am certain Of,
that having sworn to perform the duties
of the Office of Governor with fidelity. l
shall renounce or resistit in friend or foe,
and without regard to the locality. the
party, the faction, or the ism, from which
it comes"

FIRE IN THE JA1L-EscAPE OF PAS.
oNER.-On Wednesday morning last, al
about 2 O'Clock, our citizens were alarm,
ed by the cry that the Jail was on FIRE,
and on repairing to the scene, found the
rooms enYeloped in smoke-these were
soon covered with water, but did not seem

examination, it was ascertained that the
fire had caught underneath the floor of the
room in which were two prisoners-Mc-
Avoy and David Keith. How the FIRE OIL.
ginated, yet remains mystery, though
some suppose it was done by the prison,
ers the more readily to effect their escape
and one of them, Keith, charged with the
commission ofrape, did escape, and is now
going at large, he, dashing by the Jailol
when be unlocked the door for the pur,
pose Of removing them to another room.
1t is said that aid was rendered from the
outside, the Jailor having refused access
TO the prisoners. Where the blame, il
any. is to attach, we do not know. No
effort, we understand, has been made to
retake the prisoner. The damage done
to the J all is not material, though the pris-
oners suffered much from the smoke. be-
fore they were liberated for the purpose
of removal Weston Herald.

DREADFUL AcctDEsT.-On Monday
morning last about Eve o'clock, a small
building near the residence of Mr.. John
F. Strobe, which is but short distance
from Palatine, and in which building was
confined Mrs. Bromage. his mother-in-
law, an insane woman, was discovered to
be on fire and almost destroyed, the poor
lunatic having been burnt up with it.
The body with the feet, hands and head
off. was subsequently found and buried.
There being. some circumstances of the
case which required explanation, Mr..
Strobe was taken up and held to bail in a
small sum (S5OO for himselfand as much
for his sureties) for his appearance before
the examining court. a great deal of
evidence was taken by the Justice, tho
most of it was unimportant. We took it
down and shall. probably. publish it af-
ter the examination is oYer.-FairRaont

The JENNINGS " EsrArE."-A letter,
said to be written by an intelligent Vir-
ginian, dated at London, in October last,
is going the rounds of the press. If the
author of the letter can be relied on,
the whole affair is either fiction or a
swindle, perhaps both. The following is
equal 10 shoWerbath to the hopes Of those
who have investments in the i" jennings"
81 cannot find the will of old Jennings,
for the reason that Lord Beauchamp has
lost it where he could not find it now.
He administered the estate as next of kin,
Earl Howe taking possession of Acton as
next heir, so that they cannot be reached
except will be found later than that now
on record, which would show special de-
vises and requests to your ancestors or
some other claimant. fla will was found
and if lapse Of time did not operate as an
effectual bar to recovery, what next I?
1t would take mint of money and many
years to GUST Lord Howe, and the Beau
champs have squandered away the money.
A deeper fraud was never practised nor
planned than this claim. It has ruined
many claimants, and will ruin many more.

united action of the people on the one

DREADFUL AFFAIR.-On Saturday last,
at Gordonsville, in Orange county, Vir-
ginia, which resulted in the death OF two
individuals. According to the account
which we have received, it appears that
Mr.. Thomas S. Baker, formerly a mail
agent on the line of the Orange and AL
exandria railroad, had difficulty at a
game of cards with Mr.. Brannatn, of Or
ange, and another citizen Of that county,
named Gibson, in the course of which
Baker procured a musket, and advanced
towards Brannam, fred at him, telling
his companion, who was standing close
to him, to get out of the way. Brannam
fell dead Immediately, and the other man
was severely wounded, and subsequently,
died. Baker did not attempt to escape,
and was Immediately arrested. The par
ties all resided in the neighborhood of
Gordonsville, and this dreadful affair has
created much excitement. Brannam, who
was killed, had wife and Children
Baker is in jail at Orange Court House.

GB-We call attention to the card Of
John Phares, Esq, in another column
Some of our Know Nothing friends have
been making terrible onslaught upon
Mr.. Curry, and through linn upon Mr..
Armstrong, the able Commissioner Of the
Board of Public Works for this district, in
their organ, the Pruutytown Gazette
This has brought out Mr., Phares in a
card. We have ourself passed over the

the present winter, and entirely agree
with Mr.. Phares as to the condition of
that pike.

whom f1 any party may be proud to rally.
onr candidate for Governor. Henry a.
Wise. the fearless tribune of the people,
w;ll sweep the State like an avalanche
Az an eminent Southern and fearless al
vocate of civil and religious liberty, we
.onid desire no better leader. His elo-
.ouent voice will summon the Democracy
to the contest like the red cross o!
Murdoch the sons of thee Clan Alpine to
the fight. 1t will arouse the latent eneF-
pies Of the old, and excite the enthusiasm
Of the youue-a blaze ofenthusiastlc hre
will burn from every crag and from eY,
rev cliff and be reflected from the broad
waters Of the Ohio to the billowy ocean.
It's echoes like the shrill whistle OF Rho
derrick Dhn, will arouse the Democracy
from the highlands and the lowiands'
before whose resistless march the con-
temptible.ism of The day aud miserable
trumperies of an hour, will be scattered
like autumn al leaves before the raging,
Whirlwind.
We deem it superauous to speak OF his
political character. In the halls of legisla-
ton, he has won q national reputation,
and stands before the country as brilIi-
ant orator and an accomplished statesman.
Like Portia, his private character is above
reproach. The breath of suspicion has
not even dared to dim his lustre and
brightness.
Our candidate for Lieutenant Govern
or, E. w. McComas is a young man OF
ability and of the strictest integrity. As
q member Of the Reform Convention, he
distinguished himself as an able and elo-
ouent debater, and fearless advocate Of
the peoples rights. He is eminently
qualified for the position, and cannot fail
to make an excellent presiding officer ofthe
Senate. He has borne the flag Of his coun-
try on the burning plains of Mexico, and
won the distinction of brave and gener-
Gus soldier. He will amply sustain the
leader OF the Democracy in bearing aloft
the Democratic banner, and is entitled TO
and should receive the cordial support oil
the Democratic party of Virginia.
The name of Willis p. BocOck, our can
ddate for Attorney General. is familiar to
the people of Virginia. He has proved
himself to be a sound and able lawyer.
-eminently qualified for the position to
which he has been elevated. We trust
the Democracy will honor him again with
their confidence.
