Our friends of the Annapolis Republican take
exception to our designating the defeated party
in the late Virginia election as the "Whig party"
We were not unaware that in thus denominatng
Mr.. flournoy's supporters we departed somewhat
from technical exactness, seeing that he was the
formal candidate Of tho " Know-nothngs, I" and
that the ewing party" as such, had brought out
no candidate. But as the Wings and the Wing
press Of the State generally united on Mr.. Flour
noy, in opposition to the Democratic candidate
we ventured for the sake Of conciseness and to
avoid some circumlocution, to adopt the phrase
ology which the Republican objects to. We
should be happy TO learn that Mr.. Flournoy's
vote did not embody the strength Of the Wing
party, asin that event il would be proved stronger
than we had supposed it. Strong or weak, how
ever, we can assure our Annapolis friends that we
do not mean TO give il up SO long we can find
any remnant Of il adhcring to the principles of
Clay and Webster, nor seek to "identfy it, with
any other, under whatever name which repu-
dates those principles Intel Of Thursday.

though briefly reported, viii disclose his views
better than would any description Of our own.
We regret that the speech of Senator Toombs,
whose vehement eloquence, biting sarcasm, and
great force, are known to all our readers, is SO
briefly sketched. *
The letter of Colonel Preston, though short, is
full of meaning. Like Mr.. Stephens he is dis
gusted with the new party. Many of those who
have hitherto supported hin have gone over to
the know-nothings. They no doubt hoped to
entice this gifted Kentuckian into their ranks.
But, firm and unfinching, he refused TO join a
party that repudiates all the principles they for
merly professed. and introduces tactics and ma
chinery that are as hateful as they are novel.
Such man could not be seduced by any honors
they would offer him.
Like Mr.. Stephens Colonel Preston has been
called on by all the opponents of know-nothng
ism TO be candidate for reelection. He has de-
clned the proffered honor, and assigns reasons
that show SO much delicacy, much honor, and
so much integrity, that his popularity will be in
creased tenfod by them
Such man cannot be spared ut such time,
and we hope that both Wings and Democrats,
who rcpudate the order, will persist until
they shall induce Colonel Preston to declare him
self candidate lie is willing TO enter the ranks
racy against the common enemy. Under such
cleumstaneas, Democrats cannot have any
scruples in sustaining him as their candidate.

law. He referred by name TO the noble exertons
of Douglas and Richardson, of Illinois, To protect
the constitution and the rights OF the South under
it, and who had sat up with him two days and
two nights, without rest, TO the passage Of
the Kansas bill.
that northern know -nothings were endeayoring
to beat down; that Of all the northern men elected
to Congress since the passage OF that bill there
not one know-nothing who had voted tor the
measure-not one who was not hostile to II /; that
Of the forty-one northern men who had voted Tor
it twenty had been defeated on account of that
VOTE and that the twenty-one that were lett We're
the friends Of the South; that it was our duty to
stand by to encourage, and to cheehahder, THE
danger TO our rights was not at the Nofthsnf we
would be firm to our friends there, and true TO
ourselves. We had friends in every northern
State--patrotc and true men, who would stand
by US If we would stand by ourselves, and be true
to our own principles. There were true men even
in Massachusetts There were one hundred guns
fired on Boston Common when the governor re-
Gently vetoed the bill to remove Judge Loring
from Office for issuing warrant to restore fug-
tive slave to his owner But there was not
know nothing among them. They were fred by
the true of that State, who still felt the spirit
of '76 that blazed on Bunker Hill. There were
true unconditional men--in New Hampshire, in
Connecticut, in New York, in Iowa, many in
Illinois; and that our policy was not to join the
know-nothings, who were fighting these men,
but to stand by our friends there, and soon they
would rally again, and gain strength. From
twenty-one they would swell up to thirty, to
forty, to fifty, to one hundred in Congress. They
would stand by and our rights, and with us
save the constitution and save the country.
| Mr.. Stephens beautifully compared the en-
trance Of this order from the North into the South
to the entrance Of Satan in the form of the subtle
serpent into the garden of Eden, with lie in his
mouth, calling on Eve to eat of the fruit for in
that day she should not surely die.
He concluded amid great cheering.
| Mr.. Toombs was then called for, and responded
| in most eloquent and impressive speech, and in
| his happest manner He fully conceded in Mr..
| Stephens's sentiments, and uttered splendid
eulogium upon the principles of American liberty,
civil and religious-upon the noble feature of
religious tolerance which characterizes our insti

A Youthful Adventures.

On Saturday afternoon last, a son of Edward
Crossman, of this city, child scarce three and a
half years old, left his home and wandered down
to the steamboat landing short time before the
departure of the evening boats for New York
Seeing persons going on and off the boat and
being, like "Young America" generally, of an
inquistive turn Of mind, he too went on for the
purpose of seeing the sights. He wandered about
the boat until his curiosity had become satisfied:
but when ready to leave, he found that the boat
was not only in motion, but was several miles
down the river. But II was not till night came
on that Inc became homesick, and was exceedingly
DESTROYS of being restored to his parents The
officers Of the boat, upon learning his name and
residence, succeeded after time in quietng the
lad and getting him asleep. During all this time
his parents were wandering about the city in
search of him, and il was not until late hour
that they relaxed their efforts and gave up the
chase for the night. Morning oamo without
bringing to them any tidings of the child and
renewed efforts were mnde to find the lost one;
but it was ten O'Clock ere Information of his
whereabouts reached his distracted parents At
that hour, Mr.. Stevens, agent Of the Peoples
Line, teegraphed MIR. Crossman that his son
was on tho steamer knckerbocker, safely moorcd
in the harbor Of New York, and that he would
return that evening in charge Of tho captain
He reached his parents this morning, and APP
pears to have enjoyed the trip. He II bright
looking and intelligent lad. This is the third
time he has wandered away from home, and has
twice been taken to the station houses in this
city.

He paid just and eloquent tribute to those
true men of the North who had SO long and
periodically stood by the South in her struggles
with aboltionism. He pointed out who it was
that had voted in Congress with the southern
delegation to spare the South from the Wilmot
proviso, that badge of ineriority and degradation
with which she was threatened that had relieved
her from the Missouri Compromise restriction and
opened Kansas to the influx Of her citizens, and
aided her in the enactment Of the fugitive-slave

crusade upon our rights. II was not so; he knew
IL was not The foreigners who came here
came with reverence for the Constitution.
Where did these foreigners mostly settler In
the northwest. And from the northwest came
the best friends Of the South-from Indiana, ILL
nos, and Iowa; the last the only free State which
had never bowed to abolitionsm, and now for the
first time to be represented by -soiler when
Know -nothingism had sprung into existence.
Every Know nothing took an oath that he
would support no Roman Catholic for Office.
This was striking at one Of the fundamental prin-
cples OF the Constitution, which declares there
shall be no religious test qualification for of
flee. He, therefore, who took that oath took an
oath inconsistent with the support Of the Consti-
tuition. Ii was oath in violation Of tho letter
and spirit of that sacred instrument
Upon the exclusion from Office and dsfran-
chisement Of foreignborn citizens, the orator was
no less emphatic and forcible in his dcnunciation
of this feature Of Know-nothingism. Upon the
social evils, the injustice and disastrous conse.
quenccs, threatening strfcs and boodshed and
civil war, of making men aliens at heart to a gov
eminent which thus made war upon their reli-
gon, and set them apart on account Of their ma
tivity us a degraded GLASS, the speaker was elo-
quent and convincing, and tho repeated plaudts
which greeted him from the beginning to the
close of bis address, rising up from the whole
mass, and from every side of this dense assem-
blage, wrapt in eager and earnest attention,
proved how thoroughly he had enlisted the feel
ings and convinced the judgment Of his auditors.
We could scarcely realize in such demonstra-
tons that there were in all probability, hundreds
Of know-nothngs among them.
