We frequently see the assertion made
by the most bold and out,spoken of our
opponents. that that they embrace all the
intelligence and decency in the country,
while the more discreet modestly disclaim
the pretension. The following language
of a writer in the Richmond Wing which
is said to be Hon. A. H. H. Stewart. is a
specimen Of this arrogant assumption
i, q The Democracy make VERY GOOD
SOLDIERS but VERY BAD OFFICERS
" They are like the Turks in this re.

thinks that those who voted for him. can
not " be reclaimed" when the Democracy

We ask our Democratic friends to re-
member this language. while they are
amiab!y solicited for their votes, and told
that party should nave nothing TO do with
the election q county officers. +" The
Democracy make very good soldiers. but

WIN. H. BURwELL, EsQ.-This gentle
man who so ably represents the county
of Bedford, in the House of Delegates OF
Virginia, has been for years IL dstin7
guished wing is we'll known as the author
of the Phlladelphi Platform of June, 1855.
He has been the master spirit OF the know
nothing organization of this State the
indomitabIe DUNDEE. who has rallied tie
scattered HighAnd clans, and brought
their discordaot ranks into battle, with
no prospect before them but ultimate ex
termination and defeat. But even the
courage OF Burwell quails before the pre-.
sent positian Of his party, or rather his
high-toncd southern spirit forbids his CO.
operation with the supporters Of Fillmore
in the present aspect Of affairs.
From speech made by him, in the
House Of Delegates, and corrected by
himself, we make the following extract.
AS a member OF the American party lse
had relied upon the pledges given by
that party in June, 1855. But that obi,
cation had been cancelled by the National
American Council OF February, 1856.
He should stand by by the Legislation as
it now exists. He should maintain the
TSnls OF The South and the Obligations of
the Union. as defined in the XLIth section
OF the Philadelphi platform of June, 1855.
He should support no man nor party
which stood anywhere else. But he
should take no party position until the
nominations Of the American party, and
those of the Democratic party, should
have announced their position.--He
should then take his stand whsrei his
humble efforts, might be deemed most
useful to Southern rights aud to National
conservatism. To that cause alone they
had been and .shonldlbe exclusively and
faithfully devoted. nt gs,sasas
