MEssRs EDITORS Il see in a late number of the
Standard an extract from Know Nothing paper,
charging the Hon. w. A. Richardson with once hav-
ing defended fngitive=slave in Court in Hi
nois. You very justly condemned the charge as a
SANDER upon the character of one of our best and
purest men. But that you may have the testimony
of Mr.. Richardson himself, l send you the letter,
which he addressed to Col. B. +. Dill, one Of the
Editors Of the Memphis Appeal l believe the
charge first made by the Memphis Eagle and
Enquirer a violent and rabid Know Nothing sheet,
and has since been reiterated by many Southern
papers. The Murrelites will have to choose some
other point of attack. ani, sirs,

vote for him. But he is on the Know Nothing tick.
ct, and it is unjust and ungenerous in his Know
Nothing friends to expect the honest independent
Wings to vote for him.
The Wings who stand aloof from the Know Moth
ing party and refuse to act with it, do because
they cannot embrace its principles. Now, if they
vote for Mr. Fillmore they will be directly aiding
the Know Nothings, for he is running Cf he &C
cepts) as their candidate. Mr. Fillmore is running
in two-fold sense. If elected. how can he act?
Would he not be required to carry out the princi-
pies of both parties, If elected by them? But the
idea OF his running as Know Nothing Wing is
absurdity. Why, the Know Nothing party claims
to have arisen upon the ruins Of the two old par
ties. Since they have pronounced the Wing party
dead, according to their own declaration, they hive
no claims on the honest Wings who refuse to act
with them. The fact of MIR. Fllmore's being lately
Wing is no reason why any Wing should vote for
him. True, they call him Wing, but any one
whose brains not in his heels will at glance
the folly of the thing. The Know Nothings declare
the old Wing party dead, and still they call on its
members to support MIR. Fillmore. If the Wing
party is dead ut its death Mr.. Fillmore ceased to
act with it, and of course every Wing was then ab.
solved from further support of any leader of their
old party. Then they owe Mr.. Fillmore only what
every honest citizen does, and that is simply re-
spect Mr.. Fillmore is the candidate of an
oath bound association, and the members fthis or.
ganizaton are only bound to support him, and they
bound by solemn oaths. 1t seems TO US that it
is the policy Of the Wings to unite with the Demo-
cracy and aid in the overthrow of this miserable
ism which was conceived and brought forth in the
hot.bed Of abolitionsm We appeal to the Wings
who arc standing aloof TO rally under the DEM
ocratc banner aud keep alive the fires OF republic
canism. We invite the honest independent Wings
of North Carolina to come to the Democratic
fold. The hope Of the country is now the Demo
cratic party. This is settled beyond the shadow Of
a doubt. Overthrow it, and the Union is gone for
Come then, gentlemen, to our aid, and with
your assistance all will be well. &. 5R.

OCCUPANTS THE French TuRoNE.-Not little
remarkable is it to observe that from the accession
Of Louis XIV, to the present time, not single King
or Governor Of France, though none of them, ~ith
the exception of Louis XVII, have been childless
has been succeeded at his demise by his son. Louis
XIV. survived his son, his grandson and several Of
his great grand children and was succeeded at last
by one of the younger children of his grandson the
Duke of Burgundy. Louis XIV, survived his son,
and was succeeded by his grandson, Louis XVI,
who left son behind him, but that son persisted in
the filthy dungeon to which the cruelty of the ter. or
lists had confined him. The King of Rome. to whom
Napoleon fondly hoped to bequcath the boundlcss
empire he had won, died colonel in the Austrian
service. Louis XVIII. was, as we have said, child
less: The Duke de Berri fell by the hand Of an as
sassin in the lifetime of Charles the XII and his son.
the Duke de Bordeaux, is exile from the land
which his ancestors regarded as their own estate
The eldest son of Louis Philippe persisted by an
untimely accident, and his grandson and heir does
not sit upon the throne of his grandfather
Thus, then, it appears that for upward of 200
years in no one of the dynastes to which France has
been subjected has the succeeded to the throne

A ISLANDER NAlLED.-Some time since, the Eagle
and Enquirer, with its usual reckessncss, published
a statement disparagng to the fair fame and political
reputation of Co. Richardson, of illinois, We
have put ourselves to trouble to arrive at the
truth of the Enquirers statements and find them,
as we had originally supposed, wholly without foun-
daton. The whole matter is satisfactorily disposed
of in the following note from Col. Richardson III
asmuch the Enquirer has G ven currency to this
statement, calculated to be preudic:al to Col
Richardson, we respectfully ask that paper,

neighbor will not be contentcd to do less than this
House OF REPRESENTATIVES, ]
February IL, 1856.
Col. B. F. DLL-Dear Sir: l am in receipt of
your note enclosing The Memphis Enquirer Of the
End of February, 1856. In it find the following:
"In 1888 party of gentlemen went over in TO
Illinois, from NJ ssouri, to reclaim a fugitive slave
On experimenting the runaway, he was brought be-
fore the proper Court and who did they find de-
Tending and unfolding the fugitive, counsel aga
inst the owner, but this same Richardson? This is
stated to absolute and undcnable fact, and
plainly shows what We have al along believed that
Mr.. Richardson is an out-and.Out antsIavery man.
and that all his sympathies with the under
ground railroaL' fanatics Of the North.
And this man has been held up to the South
as our peculiar friend! He has been held up to
Southern principles" to be found only in the ranks
of the Sag NIGHT Democracy And yet when
brought to the test, he is found to be not only
Wilmost Proviso man, but ader and abettor of
the villanous managers Of the Underground Rail-
road T. Talk to more of the soundness of your
Nor hern Democracy if this is the best sample
you show"
The above is false in every particular. I never
defended prosecuted fugitive slave, or that
claimed as SUCH in my life never was con-
any time.
This charge is in keeping with thousands Of 9TH
made against me by corrupt public press and
false they are, have not deemed it necessary to
notice the others because knew they could in
jurc me where was known; and l only brand this
because you have called my attention to it.
Your friend,
w. A. RICHARDSON.

BEST portions oil Canada are lost to us. Quebec,
Halifax, and other points would bother them. But
to sum up my own observations after every oppor-
tunity that one man could have afforded him, the
result would be as follows: Mexico, Cuba, and the
whole of Central America in the South, including
Cuba, would be annexed; and have little doubt Of
Canada, in the North millions Of treasure and thou
sands Of valuable lives lost England forever our
commerce crippled in every sea- and Some fighting
that will gladden. the hearts of tried soldiery.
Now, what can we gain? A foot of territory p
We don't want it i; and if we did, six feet for the
majority of our brave fellows fear, would be the
extent Naval or military glory we don't want, and
as for the sand beach Of the Mosquito king it is
decided humbug. What would be thekesuit to this
country? 1t would put her back in prosperity for
half century it would ruin thousands who are
now in a1iuence, but would enrich thousands who
are now poor. But the great advantage the Ameri.
cans have is that they can produce and manufacture
everything they want; the different climates afford
goods and discard ours forever. But the greatest
injury to all parties, and may say to the world,
would be the making of this nation of %, OOO, 900
warlike peoples and, once instiled with the love of
war, the propagandsts of Europe would have fear
fu ally. The last years crop of wheat is officially
given at OO0u, 900 Of bushels and everything in
proportion, SO that we cannot sarve them out: and
for my own observation, would rather see England
contending with the whole of Europe than against
this country. l am no croaker, nor have Iany
doubt OF the power and wealth of my beloved coun-
try, and if need be, could again handle musket for
her honor and glory; but the day that war is de-
clared between these two mighty rivals contest
It's train than the world ever yet witnessed
There is another item which i am like TO forget
Many OF my countrymen place great dependence ON
the aboitionsts, friends Of freedom in this coun-
try but assure you their greatest protection here
IS their insgnidcance. They flourish q long -

Letter from a Patriotic Foreigner.


The Nashville Patriot contains the following
from M. sulzbacher of that city, German Jew,
in reply to an attack made upon him by the Nash
vile Union: ~ .a-...
The Union and American seems TO be very much
vexed at the idea that l. a foreign born citizen,
should withstand the specious appeals of pseudo
friends, and prefer to my adopted country in
preference to following the dictates Of passion and
prejudice, and placing in power those whose prin-
ciples | have uniformly condemned. The much
Wanted Democratic love of the foreigner may gull
those who have an eye to subsistence at the public
crib, or who fancy every attempt to check admit
ted evils blow at their rights, but feel that
have some interest in the future wellbeing OF
American republican institutions, and prefer to
act with that party which does not seek to admin
lister the government upon principles to which, as
Wing, object
| am opposed, on the one hand, to the disunion-
lists and antislavery meddlers Of the free States
and on the other to that spirit in the Democratic
party which would coerce the country into a Sec
tional controversy, endangering the rights of all,
to achieve mere party triumph, and regard the
election Of Fillmore and Donelson, whose sound
conservatism and unionism have been tried and
approved, as the best thing to restore the nation
to repose and quiet. For these reasons became
member of Fillmore and Donelson Club, not
strictly an American organization, composed alike
Of Americans, Democrats, and Wings. If my fell
low-citizens have thought proper to place me in
the position of an officer of the sail Club, posi-
ton not of my own seeking, / shall endeavor to
prove by my conduct that their confidence has not
been misplaced. However much it may comport
with the Union and Americans views of justice
and propriety to cast slur upon me for being q
Jew of this city, dealing in ready-made clothing, "
| can say to it that derided as jews have been, 1
am proud to belong to that race.
Whatever may have been their sins, they have
never, as Jews, interfered in the politics of the
country, nor sought to make their religion the
stepping stone to temporal power. Nor do the
records of crime and pauperism bring up pyramids
of evidence to reproach them OF vice and degra-
dation. IL my humble calling as dealer in
ready-made clothing" is regarded as badge of
shame, the Union and American should show why
It is 80. I do not esteem it az such, any more
