Mr.. CooPER.-In my last article for
your paper, promised that in my next

gilman who has vote in reference to the
subject before us, and now redeem that
promise.

1t should be with those who make laws
for the great family of Viryinia-suecial
reference should be had to the good OF
the whole.
parents are known to make laws
that are partial having an oppressive
bearing upon a part Of the family, they
are at once regarded as being unworthy
of the high place which they occupy
And SO it ought to be, and more so. with
those legislators who make partial and
injurious laws.
But under our Republican form of COWS

by the people. So vt one sight we see
our duty and responsibility and this du-

think OF our former course in electing, in
some instances, walking whiskey kegs 10

Now what could we reasonably expect
from such men2-nothing good. OF

MoaE "BoLrERs.' We call attention
to the card of Messrs. Swiger and Ash.
published in another column. These
young men wereinyeigled into the Know
Nothing order BY the hoaied representation
of its members but finding it everything
but what it was represented to be. they
have had the manIiness to come aud place
themselves right before the public. Eve
ry good citizen will applaud them. There
are more coming the people cannot stand
the secret intrigues Of the concern.
In other parts Of the State, the with
drawing is going bravely on. We learn
from an entirely reliable ource that up
wards Of 20 have withdrawn from single
Council, in Sheperdstown, Va, and near
100 have bolted in Harpers' Ferry. The
Winchester Virginia comes to us with a
card signed by eleven Withdrawing num-
bsrs, and the Virginian says that another
application for discharge will be presen-
ted to the Council, signed by twenty
members. Rats never left sinking ship
with truer instinct, than are honorable
mcn leaving this Jrsuitieal order.
