II seems to be generally understood that Mr.
WILLARD FILLEoRE has been since his aomi-
nation by the Know Nothing party. enjoying
himself, in jovial manner, under the shadow
OF ST.. PETERS. hord by the palace OF the Ho-
y Order OF Jesus, in place of some celebrity
in both ancient and modern times, called
Rome. He is said to have cultivated friendly
relations with Plus THE NINTH, and has enjoy
ing good wines and excellent provisions at the
table Of his holiness of the triple crown. Ru-
NOR also alledges that he has been upon several
pleasant "busts," with a party oil Cardinals,
and has patr0nzed the "inferior clereyo with
commemorate Industry. Whether he is yielding
10 the Establishments OF the General OF the Soci-
ETY. OF tie Jesuites or is induslriousy collecting
materials Tor book which is 10 have greater
run" than the Confessions and Monk" is one
OF the impenetrabe secrets OF the future.
For2etiul OF the example Of his excellent mas.
ter, and with savage disregard of the laws of
good breeding, ALEXANDER JEAMEs PLUSH
FILLMORE now OF Stanton, fo,merly a serving
man OF the household OF Rome, has been pelt-
ing the Pope aud Catholics generally, with
great violence through the columns of The Rich
mond Whig. Why these were not published in
some appropriate local organ we have not heard,
but we suppose that there is no paper at the
South with constitution sufficiently vigorous
TO stand he wear and tear Of twelve of ALEX
ANDER's narcotics, but a journal of the visor,
ability and circulation Of the Wkig. We have
no idea when he will stop tlucking the Pope
and the Catholics, but he intends preserving
we suspect, until he gets his old stand behind
the carriage OF some great man in Office.
His dozen communications bave been per-
feclly successful in establishing the fact, that
all OF the doctrines of the Know Noihiugs were
advocated by the old Federal party, and his re-
searches have enabled him to render that fact
certain. The "fathers of the Republic,n whose
opinions have been served up in slices by the
Slaunton ex-Sccfetary, were for the most part
tederallsts OF the ADAMS stripe. The material
employed in the same numbers not devoted 10
demonstrating the Identity OF Know Nothingism
and Federallsm-are neither fresh nor striking.
ALEXANDER has merely served up, in u very
prosy form, the second handed scraps and ar
guments OF the Know Nothing orators OF the
last canvass. With peculiar propensity for
second hand clothing, he is sporting with all
the ridiculous airs OF a third-Iate dandy, the
old fnery Of SANS court green orators of last
spring. He does not use his borrowed proper.
ly with halt the AGILITY TWAS used by tho above
named gentleman. II he was to venture upon
the stump with such trash, there are dozen
Democrats in Augusta would pummel him
worse than Messrs. FULTz, SHEFFEY, LETcHER,
and Moore did during the canvass for the Re-
| form Convention. Such men as NICHE, HAIR
MAN, HARRIS and SKINNER, would tear ALEX
AMBER TO pieces in half an hour ifhe 4as TO
| ''narrate' his YELLoWPLUsH ''MADsoN's from
The stump. II our readers will look into Or.
HAMBLEToN's exhaustive. compendium of the
arguments of the canvass OF 1853 in Virginia,
they will find every positipn he has taken rea-.
