This some .Crusader" contains loter from free
soil correspondent IN Virginia who, after recltng
othor cases of indictment against the Democratic
party, continues in this strain:
Our free territory has been declared open for Mc,n
troduction Of slapery: our agricultural interest has
been sold to tho European commercial syst"m-'the
nsiduous system OF political Romansm. Now my
sentiment is this LII the Catholic religion can 4
be carried on in this country independent OF
Rome or its polite Popsh head, then say, perish
Romanism, and with it, if necessary perish foreign
commerce., perish slavery Of the mind and body too
perish land monopoly, and lastly, perish the fail
frame of all who have lived delciously with tho scarlet
beast and have been made rich by reason of the
abundance Of her delicacies.
One thing more and have done. An American o
revolutionary ancestry, find myself unable to vote
| in Virginia, after residence here of 23 months
which to me is a mortifying fact i'll view Of the ap-
proaching election for Governor, Representative, &c
| fu Michigan we arc told, foreigner may vote after
years residence, whether naturazed or not There
| are many in this purt OF Virginia in the same pred
cament with myself. But hope when SAM is install
ed in Virginia he will look to such iibernl laws

We wish to show to the people of Virginia wha
policy has been recommended by this Boston organ
and jealous sympathizer in the success of "Sam, il
Virginia, in May next. In its issue of March 2lth
this same CRUSADER" gave deliberate expressiouo
the course to be pursued by the fusionsts It avow
ed the policy Of making use Of the know-Nothlng or
ganization for the purpose of accomplishing the ra
torous objects of the abolitionsts in these words -
"Efhcn II (the Know Nothing organization,i aaS re-
formed the naturalization ax,; ~Acn la c>tadl''h'

Here we hnve an avowal of the infamous purpose,
involved in the triumph of Know Nottingham in Pr
gina. Through its nischicvous agency not only ar
the South to be excluded from the territories, and the
'.beral laws" OF Virginia to be seriously modified
but the Know Nothing organization is 10 rcsolve it
self into an Anti Slarery Organization" How cal
Virginials, and men Of the South, sympathize with
party whose recognized organs thus unbushnsl!
avow their dannable purposes to invade the rights
and break down the institutions of the South vii
madness rule the hour and, through parsizan passion
induce Nirginians to welcome "Sam,' fresh from hi
anti-savcry achievements in Massachusetts, Connec
tcut and New Hampshire? "Sam' of Boston is Off
