PRECEPT rs. Practice. Mr.. Fillmore
in his recent speech at Albany, exposed
the dangerous and disunion character Of
the Black Republican movement, with
clearness and boldness; and the Know
nothings profess to laud the sentiments of
that speech. But in the face of it, the
supporters Of Fillmore and Fremont are
engaged in making arrangements to run
but one electoral ticket between them in
Pennsylvania, and other free States-the
electors to voSe for either one or the
other as the majority Of the voters may
designate. The Fillmore men thus say,
that if he cannot be elected, let the dis
union candidate triumph-'1et the Union
slide" Can any true friend of rle Con-
stitution and Union, act with such par
ty?--AHeganion.

Gs' The Exhibition, last ThFsday
night, by the young gentlemen f the
Rockville Academy, was certainly bril-
liant affair. The spacious Courl hall,
tastefully decorated and brilliantH illu-
minated, was crowded to ovcria living
with the gallantry and beauty of u fa-
nous old county. The subjects upon
which the young orators discourseJwere
judiciously selected, and the heary APP
plause and approving smiles with Which
their addresses were received ms be
taken as evidence conclusive of their
merits. Rich boquets were showesd in
profusion by fair hands at the feet 1.-THE
young disciples of Cicero and Demethe-
mes. The performances were intersprsed
with soul-stirring instrumental musc by
the Band engaged for the occasion. The
annual address to the pupils was div
cred by Rev. JAS. ID. THOMAS, and was
appropriate to the occasion.
Every recurrence of these scenes brings
to our heart thrill of pleasure, as it
carries us back to days long past, when,
bouyant with youth and fred by ambi-
ton, we were wont to make our best bow
to those about us, and then attemnt to
"climb the steep where Fame sat smiling
from afar." 1t brings a sadness, too, as
it reminds us of effort relaxed, oIportu-
mites neglected, and consequent failure
to reach the height of our youthful am
bition.
To our young friends who so richly
entertained us we would say, perevore
in your aspirations and efforts toenrol
your names high upon the scroll Of fame
You have given promise of futur, great
ness; let not that promise be bligltedby
lack of industry in its pursuit. Never
suffer the cares of the world Or itsfrivol-
Gus attractions to divert you frtm the
onward, upward path you are pw SO
steadily and successfully pursuing.
ES- The pupils of the Rockville Acad-
envy were publicly examined on We'd
nesday last, and we learn from a g,ntle-
man present that the youth of that in
stitution acquitted themselves to the sat
isfaction of their friends and to the credit
of their preceptors. 1t is a well estab-
lished fact that no similar institution il

CHEERING SIGNS. all ections Of
the country, the political signs are of the
most cheering character for the Democ-
racy. The great mass of the party
stands by the Union, and scores of pat

EH- The American Organ" (Know-
nothing of Washington City, contains a
letter of the 18th instant, purportins to
be from the pen of can Old Line Clay
Wing" who labors very hard to convince
his doubling brethren that the recent
bogus Convention at Baltimore, was
not a collection of nothings. -
While perusing this letter we were much
amused by the sangfroid of its state
ments generally, but when we reached
the declaration that "the convention en-
thasiastically and unanimously endorsed
the American nominees, FILLMORE and
DoNELsoN, men Of conservative, nation
al, Union-loving antecedents, fully en-
titled to the support of all parties" we
Involuntary exclaimed 'ho,o ace apples
scim P Here we have an cold Line
Clay Wing" Ga specimen of such as
composed the late Baltimore Convention)
who, not content with endorsing FILL
MORE, an avowed Know-nothing, selected
as the standard-bearer of party that
long since preached the funeral sermon
of Whiggery, must stultify himself by
calling upon Old Line Wings to believe
"that Donelson is a man of conservative,
national, Union-,oving antecedents, fully
entitled to the support of all parties. >
" An Old Line Clay Wing" seems to
have forgotten that the address published
by the Baltimore Convention discards
Mr.. BUCHANAN mainly on account of his
Democratic antecedents. How has it
been with Donolson? Did he not de-
clare to the Convention that nominated
him for the Vice Presidency, that che
had always been Democrat, was still
Democrat, and the Democratic party had
left him, and not he it." But, indepen-
dent of this recent declaration, there is
not Wing in the land, ignorant of the
fact that this man has all his life been
amongst the most violent, vindictive and
inscriptions caricaturists of Wing men
and Wing measures. None can have
forgotten the venom with which he
charged the columns of the Washington
Union, which he then edited, against
Fillmore and his administration.
If we had no other evidence that the
Baltimore Convention was another trick
of Know-nothingism, and that the Cor
gan" letter-writer is an accomplice in the
dirty work'of palming it upon the pub
lie, VIC could make up our judgment
from the fact that they recommend to
the support of Old Line Wings an
anomalous sort of candidate in the shape
of Democratic Knoc-nothing.

The Foreign Party.

Which is the foreign" party in the United
States? The opposition say the Democracy,
because the Democracy receive with a wei
come the dorn-trodden of Europe who wish
to become American freemen But are they
correct? Does this make them the foreign
party? No! We have already published
extracts. showing in language plain as it can
be written that the British organs seek the
election of Fremont, because it would be
"the first step to the dissolution and destruc-
ton of the American Union;" and that they
denrecate the election of Buchanan, because
"a Buchanan administration would be try
ing one to British interests, and destructive
to European Monarchical Government
And now we find the very same thing from
French authority The following is from the
Paris 1I0niteur, the organ of the French
Government:
"Our sympathies are entirely with Col
Fremont We hoFe to see no e1tens'on q IN
Democratic prinapie IN the United STATES. IL
Is dangerous 10 he European Governments"
This is SO plain that "he that runs may
read" If the Know Nothings possess one
particle of genuine Amercansm. it is theil
duty to join with the Democracy, ma
tive and adopted, in support of james Buch
annn

Baltimore whig Convention.

We congratulate the Democracy upon the
cheering and important news from the At
lantic. For months it has been feared that
no Fillmore ticket would be run in many of
the Northern States, thereby strengthening
Fremont's chances in that portion of the con
federaey. We are rejoced, however, to be
able toannounce thai Wing Convention at
Baltimore has determined that Fillmore
eiectorai heiet shall Je run IN all The States.-
These old Wings are not sectionalists, and
the Baltimore movement will tend to prevent
Fillmore and Fremont fusion. 1t will be
yond all question. by dividing the opposition
vote, throw TO Buchanan several Northern
States that he could not otherwise carry
and secures his election beyond the shadow,
of doubt.
The New York Tribune is very severe on
the Baltimore Convention, and says the mem
bers, although all old Wings, were all Bu-
ebaaaa men in disguise! We care not whether
they were or not, the effect will be the same
Every vote received by Fillmore in the North
ern States, is just that much taken from Ere
mont; and while Fillmore and Fremont arc
both in the field, contending for the same
votes, the Democracy are united upon Bu-
chanan, and he cannot fail to carry plural
ity in nearly every State. Make way for
Buck, Breck, and the Democratic car!

Importance of the result 7 Recollect that

may be civil war and dissolution of the

small portion of this vast country, but in a
