DOWNRIGHT REBELLION,


When we referred the other day to the frightening
Presidential prospects of Mr.. Bots-so far as Il NOM
nation the Know Nothing candidate was CONCERN
ed-we did not dream that i'll the teeth of the heavy
onslaughts OF the Wing upon the "gnoring" Wash
ington Organ, and of the mighty thunderbolt of the
Know Nothing members uf the Virginia Legislature
upon the unsound position of that gentleman in re-
gard to the Twelfth Section, the friends OF Mr.. Bolts
could have secured him al endorsement by the
Know So'hngs herP at the very centre OF their ill.,
luonce. But It seems we were mistakenly will ap-
pear from the resolutions published below, and the
pungent commentary of the Wing. Thut paper hus

CONTINUED DISCRIMINATION OF THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,


It is tEu mcrest pretencc to attempt 10 hold the De.
mocratic Spartan Band in the House responsible ior
the failure to organize that body, Is hbsurdly
charged by the opposition papers at the South. A.
throwing much light upon the real motives G! many
of the Southern know-Nothing members of the
House, we quote the following comments OF the Union
upon Thursdays House proceedings. Every day
adds to tho volume Of evidence that those members
will encounter Il terrible reckoning with their coIsti
tuents:
"Arter several fruitlcss hallnne TO day. and pro-
position from Mr. Mace, which caused some mcrrl-
ment q resolution offered by Mr.. Walker Of
Alabama, to the effect that the Hon. w. w. BOyce
of South Carolina should be declared Speaker OF the
House Mr.. Walker prefaced his proposition with
some appropriate rcmarks, and from bis manner II
might have been inferred that he spoke for his fellow.
southern members of The American order. THIS was
the more natural inasnurh effort is now making
throughout the South to fix upon the Democratic party
in the House the responsibility ofa!ntang the pre-
sent Reorganization i'll that bndy because they aro not
ready il is taid io Cooperate with Mr.. Walker ana
his associates; and therefore the proposition uf that
gentleman assumed n somewhat serlous aspect IL
was, however speedily amended after al animated
speech from Mr.. Galloway of Ohio, who proposcdtO
insert the name OF Mr. Banks in place of Mr.. Boyct;
and then another amendment was moved by MIR.
Dunn who proposed first, Mr.. Letter, and, upon his
declension O! the honor, Mr.. Pennington substl-
tu,e for Mr.. Banks Mr.. Sage then moved I" lay the
whole subject OH the table; and the yena aud nays
were ordered. Whilst the House was in the act OF
executing this order, very interesting debate took
place. TO defeat the motion to lay the resolution on
the table was to bring the llouae to direct vote,
first, upon Mr. Pennington; that failing, second, upon
Mr.. Banks; that falling, third, upon MIR. Boyce. IL
appeared however, fruIn the vote before II was an
nounced that number OF the Southern members OF
tho Know Nothing Order refused to vote for bring
ing Mr.. Walkers resolution to direct vote ana sus-
tanned the motion to lay on the table. AS soon as
the Democratic members asrertalned that this was
the disposition of the Southern Know Sohngs many
OF them changed their votes in favor of laying the
whole subject on the table. Colonel Orr called the
attention of the Democrats to the fact that Mr.
walkers proposition not, sustained by lhis OWN
party friends; and thereupou that gentleman Colonel
Orr) changed his vote, and was followed by others

country see that the real obstacle to union between

They also know that money jucioasly spent on those

pended in the improvements OF their lands; and that
the failure to make them, 10 finish them when he
gun, will, i'll pecuasry point Of view, often be rs
bad policy to neglect to build enclosures, or 10
leave unfinished those that have been undertaken.-
Unfinished roads, with gaps in them, aro often rs
useless und Improbable fences with whole panels
left Out. Ii may be often questionable whether I'M
provemens, private public, should be undertaken;
rarely matter of doubt, whether those iai are began
should be proceeded with to completion, especially
where much labor and money have already been ex
pended on them. a man would hardly consider il
tax or a burden to complete fence already nearly
enclosing his farm and the people of the Common
wealth will see in many OF our improvements that the
policy and economy Of completing them, is quite
obvious HI that Of completing the private fence. In
this category, it s agreed all hands, the Covngton
Road stands first in importance. AZ II pccuniary
investment, it is impossible that it shall no; prove
