MORNING, OCTOBER "a, 1856.
AN APPEAL TO THE OLD GUARD!

The day Of argument is over, the issue is fully
joined and all that remains to be done is, ACTON, ac.
tion action. It is conceded by sagacious and candid
men of all parties, that the election of Buchanan and
Breckenridge is now beyond controveny-and that
the Old Dominion, that never faltered or failed in
her duty will surely cast her electoral vote for Old
Buck and Young Breek. Virginia, however, owes it
to her Democratic brethren, North and South to the
great cause OF the continued preservation Of the
sttuton and the Union, and to her own honored re-.
putation, to give not merely majority but to swell
that nsjoity to an overwhelming degree. We shall
beat Fremont and Black Republioauisn largely on
the electoral vote, but let each Slate give such vote
rs to elect Buchanan and Breckinrdge by prspon-
derating popular uote Of the whole Union. BY this
means every stay of the Black Republican usswil
be destroyed and the monster will be crushed out
and never again rear it's hideous tread. Every true
lover of the Constitution and Union will see the
mighty Importance OF throwing around the elected
conservative Executive chief the more! influence of
strong popular majority as we'll majority Of the
electoral vote. We therefore, zealously appeal to all
good men aud patriots in Virginia to rally to the Ma
tiona Democracy and to PROSTATE the Black Repub.
of yirgina-tbe Old Guard of the Repubc-to 60 to
work at once and every where, to sound the bugle
on every mountan.op and valley to gather the clans
and prepare for action. Let every district in every
county be thoroughly organized, so that every voter
be brought to the polls. From now until the 4th of
November, let every true man 90 10 'rork and rork
necessarily until the battle is fought and won. Vir-
ginia expects stunning majority for Buchanan and
Breckinrdge the rights and equality Of the States,
the Constitution and the Union.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH-OvERT ACTS.
This subject has Of late has been frequently dis
cussed because Of the more than usually presumpu'
tone of free. .soilism, which has presumed 10 ex
coed the limits of right, ting every prudential
motive and adopting coutse which no Southern
community can tolerate will safety; yet we appre.
held that great many peisons-well disposed per-
sons, too,-reasoH enormously about this matter by
looking at it under the influence Of misguided
enthusiasm. AS expressive OF our own views,
and rs embracing correct view of the sub
jsct, we fully subscribe to the doctrine OF
the Virginia Sentinel, that "wOrds are overt
acts, and regarded in law. A man has no more
right 10 say what he peases with impunity, than to
do what he pleases Penalties are hung over him in
both particuars-the object in both cases being 10
prevent him from inuring others pjurng the COM
munty.
Hence heavy verdicts are frequently given in
Islander suits when the man is punished for exercis
ing 'lreedom of speech, as some would express it,
To the injury of his neghbor. Hence the "Angel
Gabriel, he WAS called, who, every where he
went, melted mobs 10 violence and bloodshed by his
and market house haraugues, was every
where arrested and imprisoned as a dIstur0er OF the
public peace. In short, freedom does not mean H.
censI, either in deeds or words. 1t only means the
absence of arbitrary restriction. There must be an
adequate public reason for restraining man action.
Ii the reason rxist the restraint may and should be
Imposed Our liberties are regniated ss well rs pro.
hcicd, by law" Thus, we find, this very subject
nj license of speech, that the Code OF Virginia dc.
csres:
III free person, by speaking writing, maintain
that have right of property in their slaves
he shall be- confined in Jail not more than one year,
and fined not exceeding five hundred dollars. he
may be arrested and carried before a justice by any
white person.
"If free person write print cause to be written
or printed, any book or other writing, with intent to
advise resistance to The right Of property
uf masters in their slaves if he shall, with intent
to aid the purpose of any such book or writing.
knowingly circulate the same, he shall be confined in
the penirentlay not less than one nor more than i've
years.-Code 0j Virginia, PIP. F5-l76.
Such the provisions of positive law, designed
to operate against sedous influences being set on
foot within the limits of Vrginia but, unless we over
imagine their scope, they would apply to others than
nluIons of free SOIL recently developed at Wheel:
ng. II is sufficient, however, that their force should
reach the really dangerous consprators who are not
unfrequeutly bold enough 10 preach sedon within
the borders Of the Commonweath,-sec though
it may beand we trust there is enough of valor, aud
of patriotism, and of regard for the integrity of our
public law in the counses of the State to insure that
10 enissary of abolition and servile nsurrecon shall
20 unwhpt of justice in the rigOr of the law.

THE FREMONT TICKET IN VIRGINIA.
For the Enquirer

Messrs. Editors l have seen certain patched.up
libel lie going the rounds OF the opposition press
purportng to be Fremont Ticket of Virginia.
Now, most Of the men whose names are on that tick
et live in this district, and are we'll known throughout
the district, and there is scarcely an honest man
among us, who knows those men, but will say
that the ticket is bogus production gotten up for
electioDeering purposes.
Most of those men stand in the front ranks Of the
Democratic party; and it is designed, by placing such
names such ticket TO herald the impression abroad
throughout other States that our own well organized
party is desparing OF its cause and taking up with
the Black Republicans. Aower or baser libel never
emanated from the organ of any party before. Ii Is
only hatched.up calumny of the Know-Nothing
party: and the motions Of sraws tell the direc-
tou of the breeze does such ibelous humbugs be-.
speak the desperation to which the dark lantern party
is driven. II shows that they are moving the very
mud-sills Of their dark lantern rooms, to hnd sti
filthy matter 10 hurl at the fair fame oil our
party.
On that ticket is the name of Absaom George, OF
our county-oue of the 6rmest Democrats OF 'ne
State.
Mr.. George represented our county in the last Leg
islature and is now and always has been known
among HE fellow-citizens as an honest ana manly
farmer Democrat. And now his well earned Cuarac
ter is to be blackened by some dnstardiy, xnalnous
wretch who would dare associate nin win '"'"
Ab.alom George has never given a vote in opposi-
op TO the Democratic party, and as sure as ne lives
TO see the 4tb Of November, 80 sure Will ne vote ior
James Buchanan. ;. :,
In our county, Buchanan and Breckenridge are
gaining every day, and this fall they viii ger Tar
larger majority than was ever given to any democrat
before. The masses sre coming out, throwing aside
past party auimosities, and raypg under the banner
Of Democracy and the Union.
Tell our brethren of the East that all Western Fir.
gpia is in the field and doing good service for our go
r;ous nominees. Let Northern fanatics preach "ng-
perism" to US, and report wanting in featy to
the South let Know .Nothings charge our beat men
with infdelity-but when the smoke OF November
rolls away, when we repeat the Story of 55 from the
mouths Of our thousands who are now going out TO
battle, in tones that the vest wretch in his Know
Nothing den may hear then will be seen the position
that Western Virginia occupies in regard TO James
Buchanan and The Union. PHlLO.

SLAVE INSTRUCTIONS.

No events in history have been so rare slave in
surrectons. None common the insurrec-
tous Of labor against capital.
There never was an instruction Of Roman slaves.
Spartacus was the leader of robbers thieves, runa-
way slaves pirates and bandti Of all kinds not the
author or the leader Of servle ipsurrection From
the expulsion Of The Tarquns to the downfall OF the
Repu5lic the free lsborsrs engaged in constant
solutions and instructions. The poor free citizens
of Rome wJre as insubordnaie, revolutionary and
sedtous as tho proetarats Of France, the peasanry
of Ireland or the Chartiss aud factory hands OF Eng
land.
The slaves of Sparta belonged to the State, and
were melted 10 rebel by the absence OF private mas
tes, and the opportunity for concert OF action Afford
ed by their being collected together in very large
bodies.
The insurrection Of St. Domingo. originated in Pa
ris, and but part and parcel Of the French Revo
luton. Few as slave Instructions have been, thsy
have only occurred where the slaves numbered more
than ten to one to the free citizens.
There can be no danger Of insurrecton at the
South, because the whites are more numerous than
the blacks and because living detached farms un-
der the supervision of masters and overseers they
have no opportunity for concerted action.
The danger is least in time Of war, for then the
slaves are most closely watched and all the whites
are armed.
Since tile first French Revolution, all free society
has been engaged in one continued fight of labor
ag siust capital Mobs, riots and bloody revolutions,
are almost daily occurrences. 1t is they who should
dread nsurrecon-not we.
Since the emancipation of the serfs standing ar
mics and mighty police have grown up and become
necessary in Western Europe. None of their gov
ernments would last forty-eght hours without large
standing armies. Even with them revolutions and
instructions are Of frequent occurrence Southern
masters are tho best soldiers and the best police in
ths world and they cost the government nothing.
The cites Of New York and Boston are in far
greater danger from the nsurrectou Of labor against
capital, than the South ,s of serve insurrection.-
The repeated taunts and insults Of tho Black Repub'
cans have drawn this reluctant retort from us. We
would like to heal dssension not stir it up. But We
are neither warriors nor saints.

RIICHANAN AT HOME,

The Mig regards the vote in Lancaster county as
a reproaeh upon Mr.. Buchanan. Anybody familiar
with the politics of Pennsylvania, will admit that the
vote of bis own county, in the recent election EN-.
phaticsly sttests the personal popularity and private
virtues of the Democratic candidate.
In 1852 Gen. Scott's majority in Lancaster county
was SUBS. In 1864 Governor Pollock majority was
6,263 The majority against the Democracy in the
late election was only 1854! What but the social at
fractions and high character Of Mr.. Buchanan could
have 30 reduced the usual anti Democratic majority
in Lancaster county, The Wig is unfortunate in
it's argument. The fact which it ress to illustrate
Mr.. Buchanans want of popularity and sympathy
with his neighbors, supplies the most satisfactory at
of his private and social virtues.

stood Alright, you asserted few evenings since, in
the course OF d conversation or discussion between
U.s. that il Fremont was elected President OF the Uni
ted States he could not and would not be naugurated
and that, because the South would, by violence, pre-
vent such inauguration. May ask the expression Of
Your views this point at more extent? If you do
not object, will give them some publicity, inasmuch
ID manifest that such opinion, deliberately en-
tertained aud well founded, may serve as warning
to many who now propose to vote for Fremont, and
to others, who, but for the anticipation of such
course OH the part OF t.e South, might hereafter con-
clude to vote ,Jr him.
