-RIollMoNp, "a, March, 5, /


DEAR Sir: Treceived yours of the 29th
ult. this morning. The slip which you
enclose from the Baltimore Republican Of
9th February. which purports to report
the remarks OF the Hon. A. II. II. Stuart
in the Know Nothing nominating Conyen-
lion at Philadelphia, is the first and only
printed report OF those remarks have
seen, According to this report Mr..
Stuart said .-r

Now, Lam constrained 70 believe that
Mr., Stuart could mot have made, this re-
mark. In!the first place. I never. uttered
nor thought such sentiment in my life !;
secondly, / don't think Mr. Stuart heard
me at all On the stump during my can:
vass if he did. he never heard such a
sentiment from me, and, if such was re-
ported to him, the report was incorrect /;
and, thirdly, Mr.. Stuart, a member Of Mr..
Fillmore's cabinet, could hardly have
been SO immodest as to boast that any
body had said that Mr.. FiIlmore's admin
istration was "Washington-like THROUGH
OUTS" for =
/" The plaster was too thick .,a
- For al the praise to stick ~
Again: the report says: ,-g ,... =
Mr.. Wise claimed his election by the
vote of II, 900 outside Wigs"
must contradict this statement, too,
whether made by Mr.. Stuart or not
Certainly, the cause Of civil and religious
freedom, maintained by the Democracy
of Virginia, was,nobly supported by many
of the truly conservative. conscientious,
and notwithstanding Wings of our
State, but l never was able to fix. their
number. We gladly took them in ex-
change for the renegade Democrats who
sncaked away from their former friends,
and took ~ test oath, in the secrecy of the
culyert, by the light of dark lantern.-
Whether these Wigs can be reclaimed
by the new nomination at Philadelphia,
time will show. think they cannot be.
Mr.. Fillmore is no longer Wing; he
has been changed by the hocus- pocus Of
the necromancy Of Sam. In the next
Presidential canvass there will be new is
sues presented by three parties; the white
mans party-the Democratic ; the black
mans party-the black republicans the
mulatto party-the cross OF northern and
southern Know ~Nothings-the ticket Of
Messrs. Fillmore and Donclson. All ma,

so do conscientious, conservative, and
constitution. loving Wings Of Virginia.
They can put up better with pure Airs
cans-wool. fiat nose, odor, ebon- skin and

can bear that cross of the Caucasian and
Cufey which you call a-mulatto
l ask you to publish this letter in the
Union, in order to correct the report of
the speech Of Mr.. Stuart. .4

MThose Rcsolutions.u

A great fuss is made by our Know
Nothing friends about a certain preamble
and resolutions passed by a Democratic
meeting in this place, some time since
They charge that each individual member
of that order is therein branded as a
" sevorn Aypocrite and lar" 'f@
We have not taken up our pen to enter
the lists as the particular champion Of
those resolutions. We did not write them
nor suggest their language or sentiments.
and have no particular interest in them !;
yet as they have been so sadly perverted.
we may, perhaps, call attention to certain
facts in connection there with, without
opening them to he charge of requiring
an explanation.
This preamble says " K1soU. -NotAing>
ism has by its infamy weakened in the
American people the reverence for the
purity Of the ballot~box," g and tending
to PROSTATE the moral energies Of every
individual who enrolled himself in in its
ranks, by making him sworn hypocrite
and liar" The resolutions say "that
said party has profaned the sacred home Of
religion" &C., and the word "l'' is used
all though, to indicate :" said party."-
He must be most unmitigated natural
know-nothing who would construe this
language to designate Individuality, unless
his mind was previously turned in that
direction. We heard the preamble and
resolutions read in the meeting, and voted
for them, as did many others, without
ever dreaming of applying their language
to our personal friends in the order, as to
any individual member Of it. But the
tendency of "said party" is anothertques.
ton, and We would candidly ask if there
is not at least some grounds in the co1duc!
and ritual ofthat party upon which to base
this charge.
Webster says that q hypocrite is Sne
who conceals his real character or mo-
tives. When ACKNOWLEDGMENT first cane
up, every member that we know of, took
especial pains to ' conceal bis real char
acter" as member of the order. WHO
does not recollcct this peculiarly of "said
Pa'ty" ? The same author says that a
liar is " one who declares to another as a
fact what he know to be not true. and
with an intention to deceive him" What
was more common than for know-No>
thing to declare that he was not a MEM
Der of the order, when he kneU that he
'cas member-and the presumption is q
fair one. that he did il to DECEIVE the per-
son to whom he made tho declaration.
This would certainly look as though the
tendency Of SAID PARTY" was towards
hypocrisy and lying, and as each initiate
into the mysteries of Know. Nothing ism
was required to swear upon the holy
bible and cross" that you will never
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, mention the
name of any person of persons you see
present, nor that you KNOW sucn an
ORGANIZATION TO BE IN EXIST

AN OLD BrDlE.-we saw the other
day in the possession of Mr.. Ebert, Of
Shinuston. a copy Of the bible printed in
1880, about one hundred years after
printing was invented. 1t is a decided
curiosity, being printed in the German
language and with the old black letter.
1t is about "a inches square. bound in
heavy wooden covers. and weighs IA or
Is pounds. The paper, cuts and printing
are very inferior to the present day. The
book is kind OF heirloom that has been
handed down through several generations
of the family.
