SMALL CRUMBS OF CoMFoRr.-Nr. John Cad
wallader, of Philadelphia writes to the Rich
mopd Enquirer a letter on the decline Of Know
Nothingism in the North, which ought to be en-
couragiDg, as far as it goes. The proofs adj
duced, however, amount to a few twopenny
local elections, which signify little or nothing
We have reason to believe that since last
fall the Know Notbings in the Northern
States have been rapidly increasing, and
that the State elections of the coming fall will
establish the fact. Let not the Virginia spells
democracy console themselves upon Mr.. Cad
wallader's letter. It is delusion. All the
law aud the prophets and the spoils, as far as
the Enquirer and the whole South are con-
cerned, rest upon the issue in Virginia Let
the Enquirer and Mr.. Wise beat the Know
Nothings in Virginia Il they can 1t will then
be time enough to talk Of the weakness of the
Know Nothings.

VISIT OF MIR. w1sE-JUDGE OF THE COURT OF

WASHINGTON, May Q, 1885,
The Hon. Henry A. Wise arrived in this city last night
and was honored with serenads by his friends. he
addressed them for half hour and sarcastic and
ievere in the extreme on the party. He said he
firmly believed he should get Is 600 to 10000 majority
in the election for Governor of Virginia.

Sou otors Wilson ana Summer on the Slavery
Question--Eearfel and Perilous TentIenciss
of the New Agitation.
The late speech before our city Anti-Slayery
Society, Of Senator Wilson, Of Mas schusetts,
which we published yesterday morning, and
the speech delivered at the same place last
night on the same subject, by Mr. Charles Sum-
ner the Senatorial colleague of Mr.. Wilson an
ahridgment Of which W. publish this morning,
are well worthy Of public attention. We're
there perfect peace and concord now existing
between the two sections upon this vital issue
e slavery, these violent and seditious abolition
cuibursts, even from United States Senators,
might be regarded az the idle wind; but at this
crisis they are ominous Of impending trouble
and danger. The armistice of 1850 upon the
slavery question has been cancelled by this
administration, and the war is renewed The
reactionary results of the late Northern elec-
tons have given q formidable momentum to
the auttslavery alliance, and the old trouble,
which Henry Clay and his associate peace
makers had vainly imagined to be reconcied
is again upon us, in q shape more palpable aud
fearful than ever before
The speech Of Sumner, excepting the ram
pant abolition spirit which pervades it, does
not amount to much. Il was general Grafton
Of transcendental philosophy and mock phi
lantbropy Of the sophomore order, smooth and
fowery, but exceedingly thin aud diluted. The
speech Of Wilson, on the other hand, is full of
matter the most able aud powerful combination
Of acts, facts, dates and figures, which, we
dare say, have ever been grouped together in
so short space, in support Of this unholy and
reasonable Northern anti-slavery movement.
The contrast which he draws between the feeble
and depending anti-slavcry societies of 1885,
ar the bold, bristling, boisterous and trium.
plant anti slavery reaction Of 1855 is certainly
Indicative of anything but sectional peace and

Tribute Of Respect.


AT the last meeting of the Calhoun
Troop, on Saturday the 9th of January,
the following resolutions were made:
As we travel along the pathway of life,
our thoughts are very often called from the
living to mourn over departed friends.
Thus, in the death of our friend and bro
ther soldier, B. w. SALE, who died the 9th
December last, we are certain all who
knew him will lament tho loss of so amia-
bic and worthy man and as a Trooper,
we know Of noEc now who can date as long
and faithful career as member Of the
Cavalry, as he whose demise we lament.
Resolred, We bow with humble resigna-
ton to the will of the Lord, and thank
Him that He forbids not the sympathetic
tear, nor the coincidence of friends.
RESOLVED, We sincerely tender our sym
pathies to his wife and family in their be-
rcavemcnt.
RcsoIued, We record his name and tho
date Of his death on page in the Compa
ny Book.
Resolped, We send copy to the family
Of the deceased; and to the Press for pub
lication.

Nebraska-Kansas bill of last session. From
the wailings Of the press in South Carolina,
last fall, it might have been supposed that
every man, from a non-slaveholling State,
who voted for the bill, was politically buried
beneath the avalanclles of Free Soil indig-
nation. The Northern elections were q
fruitful tex, for the discoursing of doloroas
prophetic sermons in reference TO tho fate
Of that measure. Mr.. STEPHENS shows,
most conclusively, that the Nebraska ques,
ton had very little to 10 in those elections
Some were returned who voted far II, willis,
others who spoke and voted against it
were left at home, and their places supplied
by others who have not bcsitatcd to declare
themselves in it, favor.
Mr. SovLE has resi- Gned his cf!ice as
Minister 10 Spain, and Mr.. BREcKENnIDGE
we believe, is to succeed him. We think
this an event to he rcjoiccl over. SoULF
