for Governor.

To-day we publish glowing appeal in
behalf of the claims of BORIS as the candi-
date ofthe wing party for Governor in the
coming contest in this State 1t is taken
from that able paper the Richmond Ixam-
iner, the staunchest defender of the Demo.
cratic party which this broad Union can
boast, yet the heart Of whose gifted editor
yearns with compassion ever the foriorn
condition Of our wing friends. Already
we have committed ourselves against the
Examiners choice, but next to Col Bald
win, we are for Bolts, because they both
are men whose views on public questions
can always be known. They never equi-
vocate. They boldly declare their senti-
mems, without regard to the popular breeze,
yet we do not know Col. BaldwIns views
on the Nebraska question for the reason
that we have never inquired. But we are
sure he has nothing 10 conceal. Many whigs
in this region OF country wore opposed to
that bill Some Of the leading Mhigs-aye.
the leader Of the whigs-the first III the af.
fections ofthc wing party oil the State, was
opposed to that bill. Opposed to the repeal
ofthe Missouri iniquity-opposcd to letting
southerners have equal rights with yankees
in the domain purchased from common
fund-opposed to securing the prote etion
Of Southern property in the common terri.
tory OF this Union. The wing party gem
orally Of the State, however did not SYM
pathize with them. Yet it. in the coming
contest, they chose to trust their fortunes
into the unfortunate hands of Bolts, the en-
bodiment of anti-Nebraskaism, we cars. not.
We are easily pleased. Baldwin first, how.
ever then we will have no objection to
either Bolts, Stuart, Preston or Rives. We
can beat either with mueh ease, and more
pleasure. But read the article from the

Hon. JOHN LETcKER.-We know Of nu

has wen more general respect and esteem
than shat Of Hon. John Letcher. In a.
very short Congressional career, he has
made decided impression upon the pub
lie mind. and that not by any str liking ora
toric al display; hot BY the manifestation. Of
bigoted partzan spirit, Though he Is 3
very decided democrat,) nor, least of all
elap-trap, ciarlatanry or demagoeuism. =
But that which in Mr.. Letcher has arr
rested the general attention, has been his
mderrnden. aud manly action upon all
public questions; the able, fearless and
energetic manner in which he has handled
certain formidable abuses, and. the uno,-
ten'at'ous but vigorous energy with which
he has discharged all his representative.
duties. Such men, we are sorry to say,
are ,afes but when they are found, deserve.

Rossi,er's Paintings.

These Paintings. consisting Of 'Miri.
am the Prophecies, triu.Uphing over the
destruction Of Pharaoh's hos.t, "Thc Re-
turn of the Dove" to the Ark, and the
Captive lsraelites. were exhibited in
this place on Monday and Tuesday nights,
by Mr.. c. II. Wilbur. As an execute m
OF art, these paintings are surely superb
The design is also good; but the explana.
tory lectures are miserable iiummery. The
lecturer attempted to describe the size of
the Ark, which, according to his descrip-
ton was about the size Of very large
three OF four story house, the exact meas
urement of which we do not now remem-
Der. He surely forgot the length of time
scripture informs us was consumed in the
construction Of the Ark, a nd the immense
cargo the same authority leads US to be-
lieve it contained-two Of each kind of
every animal, fowl, fish, &c, on the globe,
and Of course the means of physical sus-
tenance The idea Of considering the de-
grees oil measurement given in scripture
in describing Noah's Ark, as comparing
with the degrees which establish. our stan
dard of measurement, is simply Ridiculous
and could but result in proving the bib.
lical history OF the flood, magnificent ana
glaring ialsehopd. But we do not intend
to discuss scriptural facts.
The paintings are surely worth a visit.
and the price charged for that VISIT. The
picture representing the "Return of the
Dove" is beautiful representation OF RAJ
diapt Joy. The sunlight bursting in upon
the 40 days and nights darkness. reveals "a
scene which the artist has sketched with
a master hand. The wife of Jepthah,
with crimson turban. the snowy neck,
swelling bosom. and heaven lit counten-
ance. is figure to eaptivate the most ex-
quisite taste.
Mr.. Wilbur exhibited in Lexington
during Thursday and Friday. and then
proceeded to Lynchburg where he is

What is to be Gained :?

What is-to be gained by Democrats re-
fusing TO support Mr.. Wiser Nothing.
All is too lose. Let VIII o oppose him that
may, Democrats destroy the organization
OF the party and play into the hands OF the
wings by even staying away from the
polls, or voting for an opponent. Mr..
Wise has been nominated by Democratic
Convention. He is professed Democrat
has fought bravely for the party--is tai
ented map--a warm advocate of Judi
cious system of internal mprovements--a
fast and ardent friend of Virginia, and the
South, and to cap the climax, perfect
gentleman IN every sense Of the word.-
Where is there wing who can present
as strong claims for the votes Of Democrats.
Take Mr.. Wise az he is, and i; is III that
way we must consider his claims, and we
do not think there is ground sufficient to
justify Democrats voting against him.
The wings are going to play desperate
game TO defeat Mr. WISE The Alexan-
dria Gazette, one of the most conservative
and prudent papers in the State, makes
this plain and unmistakable declaration

pires the 4th Of March. 1856. IT. then,

Mr.. Letcher and the Minnesota Fraud

1t will be remembered by our readers
that bill passed Congress at its last session
granting lands TO the Territory of Mnns-
sofa for the benefit of any railroad whose
companies might be or or had been "char.
tered or Organized" The Clerk, IN trans
cribing the bill, at the suggestion of seve-
raj land pirates, changed the word cor" to
'and." 1t SO happened that no company
but the Northwestern Railroad Company
was chartered and organized" With the
"or' i'll the bill, the lands we're placed in
the hands and undertbe control of the ter

the bill, the lands came into the possession
of the Northwestern Company, 10 the ex.
clusion Of all others which might be form
ed. And thus the Company. which had
been empowered by :hc Territorial Legis.

In consideration of the contemplated rob.

Kansas TERRITORY.

One Of the most cheering and gratifying
events which has occurred in the history
Of the country since the passage of the
Nebraska Bill, lis tbs election of Gen.
Whitfield. delegate to Congress from Kan
sas Territory. The minions of "Aboli
ton Aid Societies." the excresceuce, the
dregs, the putr I'd scum of yankee cheat
cry, knavery, rascality and general moral
deprayity, sent to that Territory for the
purpose of bringing il under the influence
of ideasm, and converting one of the
ovelisst portions of mans heritage lato a
rendezvous for priest rail-ride:s, bigger
stealers, cut-throats and refugees fIom JUS
tice. have been most signally defeated, and
the hirelngs Of abolitionsm sent back to
their native dens of wooden nuimegs aud
whiskey flask bibles, bowling piteous
lamentaiion. The axe was laid to the
root of the scion, aud at the first stroke it
ingloriously fell. The child was smother
ed in the womb. 1t never emerged from
the cbrysalis state, but just as it began to
kick nd give signs Of life, a blow Of pop
ular indignation, slap from popular
sovereignty" sent it crushed and cover
ing to its eternity Of wooden nutmpgs, and
mud cheese. Never was a triumph more
complete. Never did the spirit of the
South burst forth in more sublime patriot
ism than on the day Of the first election in
Kansas Territory. Never did the heart
Of the South throb with a quicker pulse
never did the feelings of the South re-
spond TO happier conquest, than when
the N, rmidons Of .abolitionism received
their death-blow, ia the election of Gen.
Whitfield over Fleniken. The assertion
made by correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun, that Gen. Whitfield was elected BY
non-resldents of the Territory, is ftIse, as
Wv N PCStCu IL "Ouiu tulti Qti 10 Ue.-
None but bona fde votes were cast for
him. The haidy sons Of Missouri prefer
red to leave their comfortable homes, and
cast their lots in new. territory, rather
than have established in the suburbs of
their State, agents TO steel their property.
Their votes elected Whitfield, and proud
he may be Of the SURFACES of such people
in comparison with the lear, lanE. pen,y.
hunting Yankees, who were The only sun
poi'ers .ixen received.
The way is open now Let the true
hearted young Virgrian go there and do
his part to retain the Territory on the side
OF law and order. Lat the comforts of
home lose for while their oyer-we ming
charms, and let him go 10 Kansas, and
build for himself name and fortuae.-
No finer field presents itself for an invest

Charles 6. lewis, ESQ.

This young man, who has recently taken
his seat in Congress. as the successor OF
Mr.. Snodgrass, FROM Virginia is destined,
if returned by his constituents, at the next
election, 20 become very useful legisa-
tive agent Of the people. As a member OF
the Legislature from Harrison county Cor a
number of years, he distinguished himself
for his indomitable energy and his strict
attention to the great interests OF the State,
and especially the interests Of the section
OF country waich he represented. He has
an energy that never tires, and will that
never waveTs-which, added TO strong.
practical mind, renders him a yery useful
public man. He is one Of those men who
has come up from the people-whose
sympathies and feelings ale Intimately ASSOC
ciated with the masses, and hence it il he
is every way qualified to represent their
wishes. The people of his district could
not select man SO well calculated 10 at
tend to their interests, in the entire dis
trict. We visited him several weeks ago,
at his rooms in Washington, and found
him "up TO his eyes in the 'l,orse labor
of Congressman-direciing documents
to his constituents. We. trust the Demo-
cratic patty Of his district Will stand by

is so well calculated to honor.
