VIRGINIA.

The indications are, that soon scarcely a
vestige of know nothingism will be remain
ing in this old Democratic State. Nearly
all the men of talent Of the Wing party
have refused to exchange their principles
for those of dark lanternism. In addition
to the hundreds of leading Wings here
fore given, as repudiating Sam. the last pa
pers from Richmond inform US that the
Hon. w. B. Preston, Secretary of the Ma
Wy under Gen. Taylor, has declared him
self in opposition to Mr.. Fillmore. 1t will
be remembered that he fought long and hard
for Taylor and Fillmore, and has been al
ways recognized as one of the most staunch
Wings in the United States. The same
remark applies to Messrs. Echols and Ca
perton, of Monroe county, Va, and John
s. Pendleton, of Culpeper. Thus it IS
throughout the entire South. The Wings
of distinction are generally arraying them
selves on the side of the Constitution, not
withstanding bogus Wing alias know-noth-
ing Conventions.

SICK OF IT.

Mr.. Gilmer- who would be, but who will
not be-Governor of North Carolina, SO
long as he has the weight of Sam on his
blackstone time since, in his speeches, at
tackled the Directory of the North Carolina
Rail Road. This turns out to be an unfor-
tunate electioneering move. The gun has
kicked the marksman over. The President
and Directory, at the late meeting of the
Stockholders at Raleigh were fully sustain
ed against Mr.. Gilmers charges-and now
the Gilmer papers, who, as i'll duty bound,
Joined in the cry against the Directory the
moment the great Gilmer made the charge,
are endeavoring to back out from their false
position, and are attempting to make it ap-
pear that Mr.. Gilmer was misled by others.
who ought to be responsible! A poor apol-
ogy. Much better would he appear, by
showing little magnanimity and DISPOSE
ton to do justice, by acknowledging that
he erred i'll assailing the Directory of that
Road.

MIR. GILMER AND FREE SUFFRAGE

Every man in favor of free suffrage, and
opposed to the qualification which creates
a distinct and prescribed class of voters at
the polls, by denying them the privilege of
voting for Senators, unless they are fortu-
nate enough to own 80 acres of land, will,
we are sure, if they heard the discussion on
Saturday, vote against Mr.. Gilmer. Gov.
i. proved that Mr.. G.. had uniformly OPP
posed free suffrage, by his votes in the Leg
i>laturc, in the only form in which it was
possible to obtain it-and Mr.. G.. did not
attempt to deny the correctness of Gov. BIS.
statements on the subject. He showed that
Mr.. Gilmer's own vote had at one time de-
fedted this measure in the Legislature, and
that Mr.. G., no longer than at the last ses-
sion voted against the bill, along with only
10 or II members out of the whole number
in the Legislature.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1856-07-29
RIDICULOUS.

Mr.. Gilmer, in his speech on Saturday,
alluded to a proposition which he maintain
ed was on foot to withdraw Mr.. Buchanan
as the candidate of the Democratic party
Gov. Bragg demanded his authority for
such statement, and Mr.. G.. pointed to
Know Nothing paper. This produced a
loud laugh on all sides of the crowd. The
joke would have been still better, if Gov
Is. had named the paper. 1t was the "a
merican Organ" The ALBANY States
man." q Know Nothing sheet, having re-
marked that Buchanan had not the sha-
dow of prospect in New York; the :" A
merican Organ" adds that 81 the Statesman
is undoubtedly correct, and its remarks
will apply to many other States besides
New York, with equal force. Indeed, so
hopeless is the cause of Buchanan regard
ed by the Democratic members of Congress
that it is seriously debated, at this time,
whether his withdrawal is not essential to
the preservation of the Democratic party"
What a miserable, silly falsehood The
Democrats talking about Withdrawing Mr..
Buchanan We venture to say there was
not single individual, who heard Mr.. Gil
mer make the statement, who believed a
word of it. The Know-Nothings are talk
ing about withdrawing Mr.. Buchanan-no
one else

MIR. GILMER OPPOSED TO THE
KANSAS NEBRASKA BILL.

Mr. Gil1ner, it was very evident from his
speech on Saturday, i'll opposition the Kan
sas- Nebraska bill, is in favor of a restora-
ration of the Missouri Compromise line, un-
der the plea of satisfying aboitionism and
quoting slavery agitation! Gov. B. press
ed him toSay whether or not he was in ia
vor of the Kansas Nebrask bill, and he re-
fused to answer the question! There is,
therefore, no room for doubt that Mr.. Gil
mer is in favor of the establishment Of
the Missouri restriction, measure which
acknowledges the power of Congress over
the question of slavery, while at the same
time it deprives the South of that equality
10 which she is entitled. and at one single
dash gives up one half of her domain to
abolitionism. without any compensation.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1856-07-29
ANOTHER TEN-cENT CHARGE.

Mr.. Gilmcr, probably anticipating better
success than Gen. Scott met with when be
attempted to wheedle the foreigners out of
their vote, with his "rich Irish brogue and
sweet German accent" attempted on Sat
urday to soft soap the mechanics, and get
their votes by attempting to make it appear
that he and not Gov. L. was their friend
He charged that Gov. B., while in the Lee
gi>lature many years age, was opposed to
a bill giving Carpenters d lein or claim of
some kind on houses erected by them, until
they were fully paid for their work. In re-
ply, Gov. Bragg emphatically denied the
charge, and maintained that every act of
his life correctly and not falsely represent
ed, would show that he has been the >teadfaSt
friend of the mechanics. AS chairman OF
a Committee in the Legislature, it was his
duty to report all bills, whether or not he ap-
proved their provisions, and the attempt Is
now made to hold him responsible for them.
Gov. 3. stated that he was the son of a
mechanic, and indicated himself most tri-
umphantly against the charge. All sensi
bic mechanics, will despise Mr.. Gilmer's at
tempt to secure their votes in this way
After tho election, he will not be SO much
interested as he is just at this time about
their welfare.

AIN INFAMOUS Proposition
Kenneth Rayner, the leader and the he,

Kenneth Rayner, the leader and the heart
and soul of Know Nothingism in North Ca
roline, in his late letter declining the honor
OF an election to the Vice Presidency, on
the Stockton ticket, proposes union of all
the factions in the country, "sIaverq or
pro-stdrery," in other words, proposes a
union of Southern Know n othineism with
the Black Republican abolitionists and fan
atics of the North. to put down the Demo-
cratic party! The following is the infa-
nous proposition in Rayner's own words ::
land if I could be allowed to offer
word of advice. would appeal to every ma
tiOnal. conservative, Union loving man,
from the Bay of Chaleur to the Californian
gulph, 70 forget for the time all minor diff
ferences. and unite in one common struggle

THEIR PRO SLAVERY OR ANTI-SLA-
VERY, let them, even now-for there is
yet time-m8ke another effort to secure
unity and concert of action, in contending
against party which is deceiving both !;
and whose game is to keep them in perpet-
ual conflicts that, like the Fox in the fable,
they may carry off the spoil, when the com
batants are exhausted.
As an American, acould ddriSe 1t. FOR
THE OCCASION. AMERICANISM CAN
NEVER FIGHT THE BATTLE, UPON
THE TRUTH OF ITS PRINCIPLES,
us long as, by the tactics of its enemies, it
is embarrassed by other issues, irrelevant
in their nature. Americans must bide their
time. Our day will yet come. No matter
what course duly may suggest in the com
ing political struggle-no mater what may
be the issue of that struggle-yet, | hope
and believe, the day is not far distant, when
all true Americans will be united, and we
shall present one solid phalanx against the
myrmidons of foreignism, Romanism and
diSuniomism-and the contest will be deci-
ded on these issues alone"
The man who makes such proposition de-
serves nomore respect fromSoutherners than
a Sumner, Banks, or a Wilson. And what
will our readers think, when we tell them
that man who aspires to be the next Gov
ernor of North Carolina tacitly and Indirect
ly gives his assent to the infamous propo-
sition, by refusing to say he is opposed to
it! On Saturday, Gov. Bragg, after cha
racterising the proposition in appropriate
terms, called upon Mr.. Gllmer to say whe-
Their or not he approved it. Mr.. g. aoouId
not ans1cer the question:! We leave the
reader to form his own opinions. Silence is
generally construed to give assent-and we
are thus left to understand that Mr.. Gilmer
also believes that AmericaniSm can nerer
fight the battle upon the truth Of its princi-
pLeS,'' and that he also favors a union of all
parties pro-slavery or anti-slavery,"-
southcrncrs and abolitionists, to put down the
Democrats and put into power KnowNo-
thingism! This, alone, ought to deprive
John A. Gilmer of the vote of every true
North Carolinan.

A SERENADE.

The Mechanics Brass Band. on Satur-
day night, gave Gov. BRAGG. at his quar-
tiers at Maj. Kerr's hotel, handsome Ser
enade. Gov. B. appeared on the Balcony.
and in brief but appropriate address.
thanked the Band for the compliment, and
assured them that such marks of regard
were highly appreciated, while undergoing
the labors and fatigues of long political
canvass The serenade, we understand,
was not given to Gov. B. as candidate.
but as Governor Of the State.

JOHN A. GILMER'S CONSISTENCY.

Mr.. Gilmer prctends to be alarmed about
foreigners Ruling Americans. Gov. BRAGG,
on Saturday, fully exposed such ridcu
lous assumption. He pointed to Congress,
and to all of our State Legislatures, whore
there is not to be found amongst our "Ru-
Iers" in all these bodies not half dozen for
eigners. to show the absurdity of Mr.. Gil
mer'S position. Gov. b. referred to this State,
North Carolina, where, in her whole Popu
latiun, as shown by the last Census, there
are not three thousand foreigners, as addi
tiunal evidence against the nonsensical cry
about foreigners ruling America. But what
will the reader think when we inform him,
that the only federal officer it is believed i'll
North Carolina, who is n foreigner and
Catholic, was appointed by the Administra-
ton at Washington, upon the deliberate
written recommendation of this same Mr..
john \. Gilmer, who is now running over
the land denoumcing the Administration for
doing precisely what he asked and petition
ed to be done. Consistency may be a jewel,
b It Il man who will be guilty of such conduct
is anything but jewel.
