ENAIVR EN-AhD--DpCahluS vi tIio
terest felt in the question of Stewards re.
election, the Albany correspondent of the
New York Express, after remarking that all
the officers elect of the New York Legislature
are members of the Know Nothing order,
adds
The U. s. Senatorial Question is TO be the absor.
bing one of the session. With the probabilities in
favor of Mr.. Seward, there is no certainty of his
election though everything is to be done to
that end Should his election be secured, it will
be, as is said by members of the Assembly, in the
face of the fact that a majority committed
against him to their constituents. | hear that nell
ther barbor masters nor other nominations are to
be made until this question Is settled, and that
cry thing is TO be secondary to thi-one.
We trust that whatever there is of patri.
otism nay, whatever there is of enlightened
selfinterest in New York, will exert itself
to defeat the re- e-election of w. II. Seward
Nothing is more certain than this man, in his
free soil course, does not reflect the senti-
ments of the great mass of the people of New
York. He is no representative either of the
character of his constituents. lie has done
more to sap the foundations of the Union than
any other man who has ever lived in this
country. New York should now decide whe-
ther it is best to sacrifice the Union on the
altar of Stewards ambition, ar Seward on the
altar Of the Union.

WoMENs RIGHTs.-The New York Tri-
bune publishes long epistle from one of the
female apostles of the Women's Rights
movement, which, as a contemporary Justly
observes, clearly reveals the infidel natives
of the leaders. Thus it says: "The writings
of Paul, like our State Constitutions, are
susceptible of various interpretations. But
when the human soul is reused with holy in
dignation against injustice and oppression, it
stops not to translate human parchments, but
follows out the law of its inner being, writ
ten by the finger of God, in the first hour of
its creation"
The writings of Paul, ''human parchm ents!''
If Paul had allowed this female apostle to
wear the breeches, she would have thought
him inspired. 1t is the way with all fanatics,
whether on Abolitionism, Women's Rights,
and any of the other crotchets and isms of
the day. The Bible crosses their track snd
gives no encouragement to their absurdities,
and therefore it is human parchment"
The human soul, following out the law OF
its inner being, written by the finger of God,
in the first hour of its creation - What pre-
cious, transcendental al nonsense What sort
of work did the human soul make, in follow
ing out that law before it had the light of
Revelation? Especially, what has woman S
condition ever and everywhere been where
the "human parchment was not known! Ii
any one has reason to believe in and to bless
Christianity, it is Woman.

EDEToK REGISTER :"
Deur Sir There never has been 4
period in the history Of the Democratic
| party in Virginia. when unanimiLy of SEN
tlmcnt and action amongst its members
was more desirable than at The presGnt

are most likely to harmUniza the party,

This is not contest in which private
feelings or private prcjudiceE are to deter
mine the result, but It's a contest in which
Democratic principles are doing battle for
existence and supremacy. and SucessS is
as much a triumph in the lowest ofisa a.
in the highest. This object Of the party.
then. must be to concliats and hRrmoniEs
the csshicting interests which exist in iLs
ranks. and present a confident and unbrO.
ken front TO the enemy. To achieve thi.
object it seems, in the present aspect OF
affairs, that convention to determine Who
shall be the Democratic candidate fer
Congress in this district, is nbsolutsIy ne.

HRSRr A. WISE.
". P. Cooper, Esq.
When it was considered certain that
Mr.. Wise would not be here, in view of
the fact that a Congressional Convention
, for this district had been recommended to
meet on the 10th Of April next, before
delegates could be appointed on our next
court day, and reach the place of IA eeting.
! it was deemed advisable that a meeting
! be held to ratify the action Of the Staun-
ton Convention, and appoint delegates to
such Congressional Convention. should it
be held. Notices making this announce
ment, were accordingly printed. and lib
orally posted in every part of the town.
The meeting was held and its proceedings
published in our last weeks issue. The
efforts made by the rk-lantern party TO
break up the meeting by raising false
alarm and stealing the resolutions, were
then made public.
There was, apparently, a predetermi-
nation on the part Of the underground
party that the meeting should not be sue
cessful, for no sooner was it evident that
neither the lying report that Mr.. Wise
had arrived, MOI the fiching OF the reso-
lutions would have the desired effect
than, as our Know Nothing neighbor
says: Sam gsared up his band wagon .,
told his boys to set their viii stiles and
come aIOng-catch UP some fellow to
make speech, and all would be right"
The wagon s'as " geared up," and as
writer in the Age Says: while Mr..
Johnston was speaking. the band came
along playing lively air, and took most
of his hearers up street to listen 10 the
music and Hno,C- Nothing speech from a
WeEshmun. Really, We did not think
those gentlemen were SO lost to all sense
OF honor or decsncv As to boast of such
dOings but it seems we have been mis-
taken.
Sans band" charged the Democrats
fifteen dollars to play for the reception Of
Mr.. Wise. bat when its services were
wanted to disturb Democratic meeting,
it responded with alacrity, and made its
wagon the forum from which to dissent
nate know-Nothing doctrines by one OF
those bloody foreigners, who they say
have no right to NEEDLE with the politics
of this country.
