Candidates

The Southern Argus, Democratic journal,
aludes in the following complimentary terms to
Samuel Watts, the American candidate for Con
gross in tn Norfolk district
Captain Watts is gentleman Of high toned
feeling bland and agreeable in his manners, of
strong moral character, and all the amenities OF
social life gather together in his private and pub
lie intercourse and tIosc who know him esteem
him most highly
The only objection the Argus can mike against
him is, that he has always been Wing. Well,
what of TINT The objection in this quarter, TO
Claiborne, Lyon and others by democratic jour
nals. is that they haze been democrats. If tho
American party were to prescribe all its mem
beers who have been either wings democrats.
we imagine it would have very few to except
Being II new party, composed of recruits from
tho two old ones, they can take no cognizance of
the party antecedcnts Of their members or eandi-
dates but must ask only, AS to each. is he compe-
tent and worthy, md does he now stand fairly
and sqnarely ON tho American basis. 1t is in this
that Mr. Bocolk makes his grand mistake. Tho
people of this district do not feel themselves
called on to decide any little personal issues
such as whether Mr. Claiborne promised to sup
port Mr.. Boeock, or whether Mr.. c. was ut this
or that time connected with the new party
they oniv want to know if he stands nom, with
both feet on the platform, and intends faithfully
to represent American sentiments and principles.
We suggest to Mr. b. that he make an effort to
expand and elevate his view of the issues in the
canvass. Upon our word, the people care less
than he seems to suppose for either himself, or
hi competitor, personally.

Miscellaneous Items.

The Frederick sbuIg News says that while Mr..
Aylett was recently speaking against the Amer
lean party at Caroline Court House, it hears
that twenty persons joined the organization most
of whom were Democrats. 1t adds: Tho En-
quirrr was hoaxed by that letter about IS with
drawas from lodge. There is not word of
truth in it. There are - voters at the Bowling
Green Forty seven we hear are Know Moth

The Washington correspondent of tho New
York Commercial snys:-"Nlr. Manypenny, the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, has it seems,
protested against the plan of the War Depart.
inent for the determination of the Indian tribes,
md has thereby drawn upon himself the enmity
of the heard of that department. In this oontro-
versy the President will take tho side of the wnr
officer, and Mr.. Manypenny may either retire or
conform his views to the plans of the War De-
partmgnt. Gen. iiarney, who is TO take com.
mand of the army in the West, will, under his
orders carry on the war with vigor, and render
it general war,involving the whole Indian race,
before tho end of another year.
Mr.. A. Judson Crane Of Richmond was not per.
mitted to reply to Senator Mason at Petersburg,
on the ground, according to the South Side Dem
ocrat that Mr. Crane is SO inferior to Mr.. Mason,
that it would have been dsrespectful to that
gentleman, to his position as a Senator, and to
his reputation as statesman, Tor the President
of the Democratic Association to have permitted
any such discussion the one proposed" The
Petersburg lntelligencer thinks this is one of
the greatest specimens of political pride aud
rognnce that it has every seen. 1t does not fol-
low that because gentleman Is a Senator he may
not meet his match among the people, it, argu
ment and in eloquence.
The African Repository says:-"Our next ex-
petition will sail from Baltimore and Norfolk the
LIST of May, when all applicants for passage to
Liberia, the expenses of whose emigration ind
six months support in Liberia has been provided
for, will be comfortably accommodated. The
exhausted condition of our ,recsury prevents us
from Offering a free passage IN this expedition to

So late spring as the present has not been

New Orleans to Virginia.

We send greeting to our friends in Virginia,
and coniure them to initiate our example. That
abolitonism,or even the slightest tincture of free
soilisrn is contained in the doctrine of the Amer-
can party cannot for moment be entertained,
when extreme southern men of patriotism and in
telligence are found enlisted under its banners.
The rights of the States and the integrity of
the Union are inscribed upon our banner. With
slavery a national question we have nothing TO
do. 1t belongs to the States. We are opposed
to the agitation of the subject in Congress. or its
introduction into national issues.
As New Orleans has gone so will the State

The enthusiasm for our cause is greater in the
parishes than in this city. and if to dav an cleo
ton was to be held for State Offices there is not
one parishin the State which would not give
majority for the candidates of the American par
ty.
We look to Virginia to reinaugurate the era of
her Washington, her Jefferson, and Madi son and
that host of revolutionary worthless which has
made her celebrated as the cradle of heroes
Ne,c Orleans Creole.
Let old Virginia keep the ball in motion. The

ebration, as Washington, who presided over tne
deliberations, recommended it to the people IN
communication signed on that day. In urging
this addition TO the national holidays, the report
urges that our national festivals are only two III
number, and the addition of third can be mhde
without impairng the value and efficacy OF the
others.
1t appears from unofficial reports that ut the

of 1855, is less than half the average Of several
preceding years. Should the check which this
gigantic movement of population has experienced

The Allies and tho Defence Of Cuba

The London Examiner has article on Cuba
and the recent speech in the Spanish Cortcs on
slavery 1t deprecatcs the intention of Spain
TO protect slavery IN Cuba aud says that by offer

Spanish government would raise mp power able

The American government will then be proYi-
ded with n grievance, aud il Gen. Pierce should
deem the governments and fleets of France and
England too deeply engaged III the Black and
Baltic Seas 10 think of succoring Cuba, 1t Is
quite within reach of possibility that the report
of the Ostend conference may be acted on and the
step of making common cause with the discounted
oorsars, by sending force for retaliating upon
Gen. Conohn aud perhaps for reducing the is
land. may become sufficiently popular to force
itself upon Mr. Pierce's not very reluctant cab-
net.
The contingency Of the western niles looking
quietly on must not however, be too hastily nssu-
med France aud England have on previous
occasion spoken frankly at Washington as to
what would be their duty were Cuba wantonly in
vndod: and at that time the Emperor Napoleon OBJ
served that the alliance between France and Eng
land extended westward as well eastward
And though it would be unfortunate indeed, II IN
the belief that we have duty to prevent aggres
sion, aud protect weak States transportation, we
should be called upon to perform such duty IN
both bcmispheres at once, let not the American
government too hastily infer That its act of ag-
grcsson would be snfe. Meantime the Spanish
Cortcs, instead of combining their cares to the
Cancellation of the planters who have conspred
against them, might do better We think. so TO
deal out Justice to all subjects of tho Spanish
crown in Cubn that it should no longer have to
depend for allegiance and defence upon merely
one class and that the least numerous and most
selfish.
