AccoNAc Va, June >, 1856.
have received yours OF the
26th ult, at this place from Washington City.
1t breathes so true tone OF patriotism and
sound wisdom, that you almost tempt me to
! forget myself and make a promise which /
could not worthily redeem. If anything is
wanted, it is exactly what you propose-to re-
store the Republic to sense of the individual
rights it must and shall defend, or cease to ex-
| ist. The issue is-Shall the republic con-
tinue? 1t cannot if intolerance, priestcralt,
seciionalism, bigotry, higher law, are to reign
| in the elections And if bad men will Sc
cretly combine for the purposes of political
assassination, good men must openly band to-
Qether to conserve the liberties and the in
alienable rights which neither mobs nor legis-
lation may assail without bringing death and
destruction to our whole system of private
rights and public property.
Cordially, then, with all my heart and all
my head devotedly unite with "the Young
Mems Democratic Union Club of New York,
in the noble enterprise they undertake of re-
storing the old feeling-the heroic revolu-
tionary feeling-of this blessed country and
its happy people. We must recur to funda-
mental principles We must revive the ma
tional sense Of who we are-of our origin-of
our fathers faith and sacri6ces-of what we
are and should be, the necessities which con-
strain us as of old to be united, in order to re-
main free, and the ends we ought to aim at,
and the Constitutions State and Federal,
which are the standards and the touch-stones
of our political action. There must be re-
vival of the love of law, order, reverence for
sound morality, and respect for private and
loff0 ha
strained as not to invade inalienable rights.
Men must be educated-not legislated-to be
good Christians and good citizens. The
church must not lay its hands on political
power, for the sake of persecution or any
other purpose There must be no Popes
here, either Protestant or Catholic Nopower
must dare to interposo between our conscien-
ces and our God. The constitutions and laws
Of the land must be obeyed-the union of the
States and tho rights and sovereignties of the
States must be preserved and perpetuated.-
To this end, we must revive new national
feeling in the fusion of conservatives of all
parties against the destructives who would
bring nothing but confusion upon us all by
combining all the odds and all the ends oil
all the isms in one omniunl- gather7ns-ism Of
Know Nothingism.

she could not attempt TO do without disturb
ing the peace and harmony of the Union"
What reliance, then, can be placed on the
assertions of man who thus ruthlessly dis
regards the truth of history, and falsifies the
public records of the country?' Such men, if
it could serve their selfish ends would call
WASHINGTON tory and Jesus Christ an inn
poster. But what else could we expect from
one who voluntarily places himself in the
same category with STRINeFELLow, who re-
turns brag for bullying and threatens to be-
come an outlaw in order to suppress mob?
"Izese la,cless acts are Endorsed by the SLAVE
States" fa
How a man with any remnant OF respect
for truth left in him, could make this acholesall
assertion is astonishing to us.
To brand fifteen sovereign States as the adj
vocates of anarchy and misrule, because few
hOt-headed editors, badly informed of the
facts. have defended STRINeLELLow, is
unworthy of any man who makes any claims
to fairness and justice.
What is the purport Of Mr.. C.'s TRADE
about the black flag and crossing the Rubicon
The Rubicon that is the Compromise line, i
already crossed, for the line has been estab
! lished by law
Is not the spirit which actuates Mr.. CAMP
BELL the same which actuates STRIxGFEL
Low-blood and thunder? We should b.
very willing for the Hon. Congressman from
Ohio and the redoubtable General of tn,
border clans to settle their differences by single
combat, provided no body was hurt but th'
| two. But it would be better for both gen
tlemen to keep cool. The DEMOCRACY vii
not permit :" this fair land to be drencheC
with blood" they intend to abide by tn,
Union and the Constitution, and strike dow
with impartial hand all the CAMPBELLs anC
STRINGFELLows who attempt to disturb thu
peace and harmony of our common country.

MIR. Wise.

To show the devices to which partizan
rancor will lead, the Know Nothing papers
have been trying to make capital and sow
dissension among Democrats by distorting
the meaning of letter addressed by Mr.
WISE to the Young Mems Democratic Union
Cub Of Nea0 York.
They pretend that Mr.. WISE, in his letter,
endorsed the soft shells of New York and
repudiated the hards. Now, in truth, we
doubt whether he knew that he was address
ing the soft; certainly, he could not have
had any desire to increase the split among
the Democrats Of New York or to interfere
in their local quarrels. That our readers
may Judge for themselves, we give the whole
letter.

TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST, 1855.
Lewis D. Campbell.

We received the following letter and the
remarks accompanying it, on Sunday morning
We present them to our readers at the earll-
est opportunity 1t win be observed that Mr..
CAMPBELL has subsequently, aorittsn ont what
he thinks he said. Those who were present
say he spoke under high excitement and ex-
temporaneously; aud we are so confident OF
the accuracy of the gentleman who gave us
the information, that we cannot doubt that
his report was more correct than the present
revision. Mr. CAMPBELL's idea of modifying
matters, by placing himself on alevel with
SERINsFELLow, and by magnifying a border
foray into general plan of the whole south
for bloodshed, disunion and civil war. is evil
IDENTIFY an after-thought.
However we are willing to give Mr.. G. the
benefit of sober second thought and cool re-
Election. But we are compelled to say that
his second thoughts arc not very sober, nor
his reflections very cool-even as they appear
on paper after the excitement of debate has
died away. The publication of his remarks
will furnish an example of the extravaganza,
exaggeration and misrepresentation to which
partizan-rancor will lead men considered re-
spectacle in private life. We want no better
argument to convert men to Democracy than
give them an opportunity of reading just
lsuch viplent opinions as Mr.. CAMPBELL's:

This Colored Convention is but the legit-
innate offspring Of Know Nothing Adolf
tionism. Let the Know Nothing Abolition
party of Indiana succeed in the elections
Of this and next season and it will not be
five years until we shall see our Constitu-
ton changed, and Negroes made equal, in all
things, with the whites. We shall then have
Negro candidates for the Legislature, and fol
Congress, and other offices. Will the people
of Indiana endorse a party which teaches
such unnatural doctrines? "Down with the
poor white man, but up with the negro."-
This is .he policy of Abolitionism-this is
what it teaches Citizens of Indiana, look to
the issue to which K. n. Abolitionism is fast
fastening you.

Colored Men for Office in N ew York.
Two or three weeks since call was made
by the colored people of New York to meet
in Convention at Troy, on the first Tuesday
of September The New York Herald made
some very severe comments on the affair, and
the following letter from one of the signers
to the call is the consequence:
ALBANY, July "a, 1855.
To the Editor Of the Ne10 York Herald:
see by the Herald of this week, that you
have spoken Of the Convention which is to
meet at Troy on the first Tuesday in Sep
TENDER. Your notice, sir Of that Convention,
has, it appears, created a great deal of uneasl-
ness among my l0late ABOLITION friends. My
white Abolition friends charge me with try
ing to make divisions in the Abolition ranks
of creating prejudice against color.
| Now, sir, twenty-five years of experience
convinces me that if we, the colored people,
are to be anything, we must commence the
work ourselves; we can better the condition
Of one another by being united.
Il is true that l did get up call for a
Colored State Convention, and ] am not
ashamed to call it a Colored Convention
l want the colored people of this State to
meet together for the purpose of holding 20.
htical Convention. We i0aRt to nominate COL
orea men for Office. We have able and intelli-
gent colorea men among us, and we intend tc
nominate Frederick Douglass for member Of
the Assembly from the county of Monroe
James w. Dufin, from the county of On
tario, and William Rich, from the county o
Rensselaer,, for the Senate DR.. j. McCun'
Smith from his district in the City of New
York, and number Of other lOoTthy ooloyet
men; and ace ieant our white Abolition friend
to come up and support this ticket. L am yer!
sorry that your article has made our friend
uneasy. We have right to call Nationa
or State Convention when we think it will b.
for the best interest of our people. Ny onl..
object in writing this, is to give you an in
I sight into our just meaning.
