REASONS OF THE EXECUTIVE FOR
WISHING TO RETAIN THE "UNIoN-
AS ITS ORGAN.

AS ITS ORGAN.
Because OF its promised strict nem,0lity,'
in relation to the nomination to be made at
Cincinnati;
Because one of its editors selected Reeder
for Governor Of Kansas;
Because the Union endorsed. 10 the letter,
the entire political course of Governor Reeder
while Governor, which endorsement stands un
retracted;
Because the Inicn declared, officially, that
he who opposed the Nebraska bill was as good
a Democrat as he who supported it;
Because the Union endorsed the Albany
Atlas. which did all that treason could do to
break down the party;
Because the Union endorsed other papers
which opposed the Kansas bill, and abused
most fouly all leading National Democrats
Because the Union, having once deliberately
sold the right to commit treason against the
Democratic party whenever occasion requires
it, it can have scruples again officially to
do so;
Because the Interpretation by the Unioh OF
Strlct neutrality K 10 ueufraHZe al evidence
of popular preference for any candidate save
the Executive;
Because the friends of Mr.. Buchanan see in
Its columns covert hostility
Because the friends of Judge Douglas see
the same hostility;
Becau'e ne friends of Hunter see that
"neutralily' means preference for only one
Of all the candidates;
Because the friends of Bright, Of Butler, OF
Rusk, and others, all perceive the same thing.
For these, and for many similar reasons, the
Executive has a right to desire it for its or.
gan.
For these same reasons, and plentiful lack
Of incapacity, the Democratic party generally
seem very careful TO withhold any endorse.
ment.
How sharply the Union reproves itself, while
advocating now the unquestionable justice and
propriety of The principles in the Kansas bill.
II is now high treason to question them. Yet
this same Union gave official permission to
all who desired il, TO oppose, 10 denounce and
to defeat this bill, now pronounced by the
Union to be the very paragon Of political excel.

toned on Saturday that a contemplated in

frustrated in Colorado bounty, Texas. A

affair, says:
The committee enteredi upon their duties,
and in a short time theyi were in full pos

systematized plan for the murder Of our
entire white population, Fith the exception
of the young ladies, whoj were to be taken
c~aptives and made the wives Of the diabol-
zeal murderers of their parents and friends.
The committee found IN their possession a
number of pistols, bowlaknives, guns and
ammunition. Their passwords of organi-
cation were adopted, md their motto,
I" leave not a shadow behend.'
Saturday, the 9th inst, was the time
agreed upon for the execution of their
damning designs. At a late hour at night
all were to make one simultaneous, desper-

HAIL STORM IN MEcLENBURG. Va.-On Sat
urdav afternoon last a portion of Meclenburg
county was visited by one IF the most disas-
trous hail storms, which ever swept over this
region of the world. A strip of country run
ming from Bluestone to Christiansville, and
thence as far as Hepburn's in Lunenburs
was the scene of the disaster. Entire fields
of tobacco are in utter ruins, only enough
being left to show the extent Of the injury
The calamity is really a most serious one un'
der existing circumstances. The corn crops
of this entire county are such complete fail'
ures. that the farmers have relied upon the
proceeds of their tobacco crops to buy them
bread. This resource being swept away
from them they are left in a very unpleasant
situation. - Tobacco Plant.
