Our OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS THEY Arr

OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS THEY ARE
CONDEMNED. The Federal Union says;
" If there is any nationality in the
party that nominated Willard Fillmore
and ANDREW JACKSON donelson for
President and Vice President, in what
does it consist In the principle of op-
position to foreigners, or the Americans
to rule America doctrine? Why Don
elson, but a few years ago, pronounced
such doctrines akin to the alien and Sc
dition laws, and at war with every true
American sentiment. Does their nation
atty consist in their soundness on the
slavery question !? Why, we have DON
elson's deliberately published views in
this very paper, satisfactorily proving
Willard Fillmore's administration of
the free-soil stamp, and fixing upon
Mr.. Fillmore the stigma of free-soil af-
filiation. Out of their own mouths they
are condemned. Out of their own mouths
the plea of nationality set up is fictitious
and entitled to no weight. Know-no-
thingism is in strait. 1t has no ma
tionality. Indeed, it is one thing in
Louisiana, and another in Tennessee,
and another in Virginia and Massachu-
sets. The elements are without any
cohesive principle, and to claim anything
like nationality is as ridiculous as the
claim of the lost Bourbon or the divine
right of kings"

KANsAs.-A gentleman ofintelligcnce
and probity in Kansas, in a recent letter
to friend in Washington, writes as
follows:
Judging from the Presidents pro-
clamation and the statements ] see in the
newspapers, | should be led to believe
that Kansas was in state of anarchy,
and that bloodshed prevailed to great
extent. Such is not the case, and, so
far as my observation extends, we are as
quiet here as they are elsewhere. To be
sure, occasionally fracas occurs between
pro and anti-slavery men; but such af-
fairs are always greatly exaggerated, and
are used in Washington and other parts
of the country merely for political pur-
poses"

NATIONAL Wines IN NORTH CARROLL
NA.-The Raleigh Standard furnishes
the evidence below that the national
Wings of North Carolina are taking the
plain, comnron-sense, patriotic view of
the duty of all nationol men in the pend
ing contest:
/" We hear from various portions of
the State of high-minded, patriotic Wings
who, in the struggle now going forward
between the national Democracy and the
black republicans, have avowed their
determination to act with the Democrat
ic party, the only really constitutional
party in the country. The Hon. Thorn
as l.. Clingman and the Hon. John
Kerr are now both substantially with us,
and among others who will doubtless CO.
operate with us for the future, we may
mention Thomas I.oring, Esq, the able
editor of the Wilmington Commercial;
Jonathan Albertson, Esq, in 1852 the
representative of Perquimans county in
the commons; William S. Ransom, Esq.
of Warren county; Doctor William Ter
ry, of Arson county and George Green,
Esq, young and rising man, and re-
Gently one Of the commoners from Cra-
ven. Mr.. Green has been appointed a
delegate to the Democratic State Con-
vention by the Democrats and anti
Know-nothings of Craven. We are
glad to have the aid and cooperation of
all such Henry Clay Wings. These
gentlemen have not forgotten that in
1850 Clay and Cass, Webster and King,
and Douglas and Badger stood side by
side, without regard to party feeling, in
the great effort then made to settle the
slavery question and save the Union.
They feel that the country is in greater
peril now than it was then; and they be-
lieve, as we do, that the only party which
may be able to save it is the Democratic
party. We should likewise be gratifed
to see those honest and well-meaning
Democrats who were induced by false
pretences to unite themselves with the
Know-nothiag party come back to their
old faith and range themselves under
their old and still glorious and triumphant
banner. Come back, friends ,--there
shall be more joy over one sinner that
repenteth than over ninety and nine that
need no repentance.

phe Presidential Campaign.

e Baltimore Republican," the organ of
the democratic party of that city, and
we doubt not it speaks the true seDti-
ment of every democrat who has at heart
the good of his country:
1.-The Know-nothing party has placed
its candidates for the Presidential cam
paign before the country at an unusually
early period, and if there be any advan-
tage in being first on the course, they
have secured that. We have little doubt
the Abolition party proper will also have
a candidate, for although they might be
satisfied with Fillmore, they could hardly
be expected to take Donelson, with his
stupid boast of being the owner of
hundred negroes. The Democratic party
then must be expected to have the COM
bined strength of the Know-nothing and
Abolition parties to contend against in
the next Presidential campaign. tmay
reasonably expect to be aided in this
battle by that portion of the old Wing
party, which holds the Constitution and
the equal rights of all citizens as of
more Importance than the indulgence of
hatred towards their old political oppo-
nents.
The present period is, in many of
its features, much like to that which
brought Gen. jackson to the Presidency.
Old party issues have been set aside
new principles have been introduced,
and new combinations have been formed.
As in the old jackson times, many of
the leading Federalists of that day united
heartily with the Democracy, SO at this
day, many honorable, high-minded Wings
have united with us in defence of the
Constitution and its guarantees of civil
and religious liberty to all citizens, and
against the new party of proscriptionists.
The Wings, who have thus thrown aside
their prejudices and rallied with the
Democracy, in defence of the Constitu-
ton, deserve, and should receive, our
fullest confidence and respect They
should be entitled to share in the posts
of honor, and be made to feel that they
are placed upon fair and equal footing
upon the platform of the Constitutional
party.
eve believe that it would meet with
the appreciation of all true friends of
Democratic principles for the several
conventions to extend hand of cordial
greeting and friendship to those of the old
Wing party who in this contest are found
battling with us in behalf of cherished
principles and against the wild fanaticism
which is at present so rife in the land.
Let these honorable men see that
the Democratic party knows how to APP
preciate their motives, and is as ready to
bury the remembrance of past party con-
tests as themselves If Wings aud
Democrats, the most violent aud abusive
of each other, can come together as
Know-nothings, what is there to prevent
the honorable and more conservative men
of both parties uniting as brothers to
stem the current of bigotry and sectari-
an strife which threatens the destruction
Of the Constitution and dissolution of the
Union? We can see no reason why
they should not thus unite. And surely
patriotism, policy, and regard for the
peace of the country, all urge such union
with voice too strong to be mistaken or
disregarded."

HOMIoIDE.-Mr William j. Hatch
of Camden, On. j. } came to his death
near that place on Sunday morning by
violence. The deceased was walking
over the grounds of his fathers farm
when he observed three men trespassing
in pursuit of birds, two of whom were
armed with guns, and the third carried a
game-bag. Mr.. H., attended by Ger
man laborer on the farm, immediately
gave chase, and he took gun from one
of the trespassers and handed it to his
man. He then pursued the other two,
and, according to report, they left the
grounds and contrived to proceed some
sixty or eighty yards over the ice on the
Delaware, still followed by Mr.. Hatch,
who soon attempted to seize the second
gun, and when close to the man he was
shot through the left temple. He fell
and died instantly. The men escaped
for the moment, but were captured in the
course of the day. Their names are
Adolphe Delso, Joseph Erben, and ia
cob Linhart Mr.. Hatch was highly cs-
teemed for his uprightness and integrity
He had faithfully represented the public
interests in the Camden City Councils,
and whether as citizen or friend he
bore high and honorable reputation.
His father was fred at by a man who
was shooting on his premises without
leave, several years ago, and rendered a
cripple for life. The Jersey farmers
suffer greatly in their crops and fences
from dcpredations committed by gunners
from Philadelphia.
