Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1856-05-24

/, This talented gentleman, now Of Clarks-
burg, Va, who was formerly firm, un-
hinching Wing, and then an active Know
Nothing. comes out in very able card
published in the Claiksburg Register Of
the 10Th, in which he gives his reasons
tor identifying himself with the Demo.
cratic party hereafter. Nj. Jackson says
the Kansas. N ebraska bill is the issue, and
opposition to it from whatever quarter, is
"but Freesoilism in Disguise" He says
the Know Nothing party is not national,
but is sectional and that Mr.. Fillmore
cannot carry -four States" He argues
very ably TO support the position he has
taken, and to induce his former political
friends and associates to act with him.
NJ. Jackson Is son of the late Judge
Jackson. He isa young man Of foe ac-
qulrements. brilliant talents, and an homes
~ and firmness Of character and purpose,
which make him valuable auxiliary to the
Democratic ranks not only in his own
District, but throughout the State. Jne
such man is worth a..dozen such political
and. personal prostitutes as Jack Carlile.
We congratulate the party throughout
the State on this valuable accession.

A correspor dcnce has taken place be-
tween MIR. CHAMPION and MI. CLAY ton
concerning the disagreeing statements
which they have made on The subject OF
their conversation in regard to the inter
probation Of the Clayton Bulwer treaty.
Ii had not been brought to close this
morning. The rumor, therefore, that MIR
Clayton was satisfied with MIR. Champion
explanations is premature. Senator Sew
ard and several others have iLterfe,ed in
order to produce an amcable explanation
Lord Clarendon'e dispatch has beep duly
considered by the cabinet, and Mr.. Marcy
is now engaged in preparing reply to is.
This reply will be communicated to Mr..
Champion, with notice that no further IN
tercorurse will be held with him. This is
the most probable version of the presen,
condition Of this matter. But it Is very
possible that the administration will pro :
coed in this matter with greater d.libera.
ton and caution than has been heretofore
Intended, aud that they will temporise and
delay action till alter the Cincinnati nomi-
nation.
The proximity Of the convention has
tened and facilitated the recognition of tho
Walker Riyas government, but il has a
decidedly opposite effect in regard to the
dismissal of the British minister.
II to days telegraphic intelligence from
Kansas be correct, all other questions dwin.
die into insigniii; ance in comparison with
il. Ii Gov. Reeder evaded the issue which
was to have been made upon an attempt to
arrest him. by escaping from the territory,
a collision may yet be avoided. But If The
threatened contest should take place, i, NAV
be only the beginning OF bloody border
war.
~. The committee oil the House declined
any interference for the protection Of Gov.
Reeder, though the majority Of them were
of the opinion that he was protected by
privilege. They had power to arrest all
persons who obstructed their investigation,
by preventing the attendance Of witnesses
or otherwise, but merely decided not to
exercise it. Ii appears that potion Of
their report has been received by the Spea-
ker.
The republicans will not consent TO en-
terrain resolution fixing the time for adj
journment. until the Kansas report shall be
made and its publication and distribution
provided for Therefore, the House re-
fused, the other day, even 10 consider a
proposition to fix SO late day as the 5lb Of
August.
A considerable number Of delegates to
to the Cincinnati Convention are already
III this city. A number Of the Ohio dele-
gates are here. il is SAID that majority OF
that delegation are for Judge Douglas.

The result Of the election in this county,
Tor the most important offices, is given be-
low so far as heard from at the time of
going to press. It Will be seen that Col
w. ii. Hartman has been elected Com.
monweal,h's Attorney, over r. p. Kin
ney, Esq, the nominee of the Know
Nothing party. This was probably the
most excited contest that has ever taken
place in this county, heretofore. Col Har.
man is Democrat, and the present in
cnmbent of the Office to which he has
been so friumphantly reelected. We Go
not claim bis election as a Dem ocratic tri-
umph bu, we herald il as most sig
nifcant overthrow Of the Know Nothing
party in Augusta. SO far as it was repre-
scented in the Stanton Convention Of the
26h Of April In the election OF Col.
Hartman, CONSERVATISM, INTELLI-
GENCE and PATRIOTISM, have most
signally triumphedt Demogogueism, par
~ Bigotry, Intolerance, and Fanaticism,
have received severe castigation, aud
we are permitted, under most suspicious
and cheering circumstances, to congratu-
late the PEOPLE, upon the convincing
evidence they have given of their capaci-
ty to manage their own affairs, indepen-
dent and in defiance of caucus appliances
and the tricks of unprincipeJ politicians.
The event augurs brightly for the con-
sentative sentiment, not only of August7,
but Of the entire South 1t was not clone
Party Bigoiry that has been thus SO se-
verely rebuked, but the spirit of aboli.
tonism and religious interference with
political matters, have received blow
from which they can never recover in this
county. The issue was erApla,icaIly Con-
sERyATIsM against FAnATIcIsM, in It's va.
ried shapes. ibis is the sum and SUBJ
stance OF the issue.
The candidate defeated, Mr.. Kinney, is
heightened, honorable gentleman-one
who would. scorn to stoop to any trick 70,
popular favor, and our only regret is that
he fell into the hands of the association he
did, In all the relations OF life, Mr.. Kin.
Ley stands sans ,epToche-dignifcd, hon.
orable, independent and courteous; and
with all, a lawyer, who for his age, stands
in the front ranks of his profession. His
opponent possessed alike qualifications,
added to all energy that never flags and a
courage that never quails.
In the result, the people have amply
vindlaated :heiI own intelligence, and re.
confirmed the fact that they are capable Of
seli-goyernment
We give below the vote cast in this county for
Governor in 1855, and that cast for Comm on

BED SUICIDE AT HAsTINGs.--We learn from
n friend who has just returned from Hastings
that on Sunday morning last, man named
John Davis, formerly connected with Burch
in keeping the Public House at Yankee
Springs, committed suicide by taking stryeh-
nine. 1t seems that Davis was under arrest,
for obtaining money under false piretences
from some person in Kalamazoo, and was to
have been conveyed there by the officer in
the course of the day. He and the officer
were stopping at Foots Tavern, in Hastings,
and at an early hour in the morning he in
formed Mr.. F. that he felt unwell, and re-
quested him to pour little water into tum-
bier, as he wanted to take some medicine
Mr.. F complied with his request, when Da-
Wis empted about a teaspoonfull of pow
tlered substance into the tumbler, stirred it
up and swallowed the contents. He then
rnsed the tumbler thoroughly with water
wiped it of, and seated himself by the fire.
In a few minutes he was attacked with spasms
and in less tnan an hour was a corpse. 1t
was ascertained after his death, that he had
sent boy to drug store for some strychnine,
alleging that he wanted it to kill a dog, and
would like sufficient quantity for that pur-
pose. Grand Rapids Enquirer

Abandoning their Ground

It is known to most of our readers
that the st. Louis Republican has been
one of the ablest as we'll as one of the
most inscriptions organs of Ruffian-
ism in the country ever since the COM
mencement of the Kansas troubles,
and they viii therefore read the follow
ingparagraph with some surprise when
they are informed that it is from a
leading editorial upon Kansas affairs
in that journal of the Sd inst. =
"There is no doubt that there are
laws on the statute books that must be
modified. The warmest friends of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, and those most
determined to maintain its principles,
have not hesitated to express the opin-
ion that the code of statutes adopted
by the Kansas Legislature must be
changed. Toombs, Douglas, Critten-
den, Cass, with the entire Democratic
party in the U. S. Senate, have all, in
the severest terms, uttered their con-
domination of the spirit of the Kansas
code, and earnestly recommended a
change. And there can be no doubt,
that the Pro-Slavery party in Kansas
will meet the views of their truest
friends, consult their own interest and
remove all ground of complaint among
ill-disposed persons, by voluntary
change in some of their statutes
They cannot be successfully defended,
and we doubt not would be modified
or struck out by unanimous vote of
the Legislature. -

New Towns.

During the past week there has
been quite a stir in our neighborhood.
This result is consequent upon the
opening of the Wyandott lands for
purchase and settlement. Several par
ties have invested, and two town sites
are to be laid off Immediately. One
at the mouth of the Kansas river, OPP
posite Kansas City, to be called Wy
andott; the other about five miles
above, to be called Quindaro. These
are important projects, as the two to-
gether embrace the most favorable
site for large town to be found in the
Territory bordering on the Missouri
river. We learn that vigorous nnea-
sures will be taken in the spring to
push forward these towns, and we adj
wise our Territorial neighbors to keep
a sharp look out, or the glory of Wy
andott will eclipse you all. Our best
wishes attend the new cities, and we
pledge them in advance that they need
fear no ungenerous treatment at the
hands of Kansas City. We are not
actuated by the narrow policy of local
rivalry, but say to all-push on the
column, and overtake rs if you can
