Eeep 1t Before thePeople !

That upon a resolution offered in the Senate of the
United States on the Esd ult., by Senator Wade, OF
Ohio, to repeal the Fugitive Slave Law, the follow
ing vote cast
Nays-Messrs. Adams, Badger, Bayard, Bell,
Benjamin, Bright, Brown, Butler, Clay, Dawson,
Douglas, Fitzpatrick, Geyer, Gwin, Hunter, Jones,
of Iowa, Jones, of Tenn, Mallory, Mason, Pearce,
Petit, Rusk, Sebastian, Shields Slidell, Thompson,
Of New Jersey, Toucy, Weller, Wright-30.
Yeas-Messrs. Brainard, Chase, Cooper, Fossen-
den, Gillette, Seward, Summer, Wade and WILL
SON..
1t will be observed that not solitary Wing from
the new ave-holding States voted against the re-
peal of the Law; but that TEN DEMOCRATS
from the slaveholding States voted against the Re-
peal and in favor of sustaining the Rights of the
South. Let it be remembered also that Henry Will
son, the Know Nothing Senator from Massachusetts,
upon whose election the "American' of this place
Congratulated the country" VOTED TO REPEAL
THE LAW and thus destroy the last hope for the
observance of the Constitution, and the protection
of the property of the South. Remember these
facts and let the candid reader decide whether OF
not the Know-Nothings of the South, are not Civ
ing aid comfort t. abotionism, in their co-ope-
ration with the Know. N othngs Of the North.

Slavery yet published and is withall book strong
in its facts and its reasoning Il shows with great
power the utter impracticability of Socialism or
Communism, which is indeed very bad form of
slavery. Mr. Fitzhugh concludes with the following
passage:
'.For thirty years the South has been field on
which Abolitonists, foreign and domestic, have car
ried on offensive warfare lpery cteas'.e.l Let us
now in turn act on the offensive transfer the seat Of
war and invade the enemy's territory"

Take Care.

We notice on one of the subcommittee appointed
by the Democratic Vigilance Committee Of this
place, the name Of our distinguished townsman,
Peter l. kurtz. Are our friends quite sure that
'Pete' is not aknow- Nothing?
The above find in the Staunton Spectator of the
2sth ut. l would like to know who informed the
Spectator l was Know Nothing, or belonged to
that order. Now, if | am Know-Nhthing it is
more than know. will inform the Spectator that
if get to the polls the 4th Thursday in May
next, shall cast my vote for Wise, McComas and
Bocock. Mr.. Spectator, you should not bear false
witness against your neighbour l suppose it has
been time since you read the ten command
ments, written upon twelve tables of stone, upon
Mount Sinai. You will please turn to the twentieth
chapter and sixteenth verse of Exodus, and you
will read the following words, viz: Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neighbor. The fifth
chapter and twentieth of deuteronomy use
almost the same language. Now, Mr.. Spectator,
you are informed that am no Wing Know Nothing,
for still love that erich Irish brogue and sweet
German ascent" am Democrat of the Jeferso-
MAN school, and not Federal Wing Know N othing
So if you counted me on your Whig-Know- Nothing
platform, you certainly counted without your host.
don't want little boys to tell how shall vote,
especially those have taken out Of the mire and
clay and set them out of all danger to tell how
he shall vote, who is almost old enough to be their
father. 1t is ridiculous to think OF such thing.
So ends tho morning lesson.
PETER INDEPENDENCE KURTZ.
p. S. Since the above was in type, have seen the
Spectator of the It'll, which proceeds to notice my
promised reply its paragraph of the 2sth ult.
will respond by an injunction from Solomon, which
has peculiar force in its application to the editors
that paper, at this time. "He that answereth mat
ter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto
him." Read, ponder and inwardly digest, Mr.
| Spectator. +. l. X.

Mesrs Eplrons As the time is fast approaching
when we should begin to feel an interest in who
should be our standard bearer in the coming contest
for seat in the General Assembly Of Virginia, we
would beg leave to suggest the name of our worthy
country man, ALLEN G. BURNER, ESQ.,, in whom
we behold a bold and fearless champion of Demo-
cratic principles, as laid down by Jefferson, and
since 50 Dy ns
fully able to put down, and foreverslence the new
born party in this county, 1.-THE Know Nothings, y
lie is Democrat of the straehte School, in whom
1t would be superhuous in us to say any thing in
gard to his qualifications, as his known merits speak
his best eulogy. MANY DEMOCRATS.

space for inserting this correspondence in the cou inns
be informed by this that large and enthusia site
meeting was held in Rockingham county, at Longs
School House, on Saturday the 18th inst. The OBJ
ject of the meeting to discuss the policy of
Know Nothingism. In behalf Of the policy, a Mr.
Wiseheier set forth his views, and was oppose by
Samuel Reubush and John y Beard, ESQ.,, to the ut
duced to bel ieve that the Democracy of the Tenth
Legion, or that of the old Dominion will suffer
themselves to be gulled BY that political foe,
which from its development in the North, is hostile
to Southern interest. The discussion was quite spr-
tied. The old Tenth, from the signs of the times, is
awakening up. Every true Democrat will revolt at
the idea Of a secret organization governing this
Republic. If there is good in the order why not give
it publicity? Has it come to this, that the liberties
of Republican America are to be found in the dark
| corners and hiding places ? hope the true line
Democracy will stand to their Arms in the approach
ing contest, and remember the old adage, that eter
nal vigilance is the price of liberty A.

In The South IVES: hs is opposed because he
