4 SUMMARY REBUKE

We copy the article below from the South-Side Demo-
crat published at Petersburg, Virginia and edited by
gentleman whose relations with the Virginia are
known be such make his statements IN regard
their position authoritative he did not expressly
speak Of his knowledge We make the extract lest by
possibility persons not informed Of the standing Of
papers in Washington might be misled in regard TO the
opinions Of the distinguished named as to the
President and his administration. II is as follows
"The Washington (know. .nothing) Organ p.bsles a
attack President Pierce hashcd Of sers,
Of editorial phlppics which have been time past
daily appearing In the columns Of the Washington Sentinel
which the Organ mendacousy pleased style the mouth

that Of these eminent democrats has any sympathy
with the attacks Mr. Perces administration which daily

Pierce but the great democratic party Of the country
that has sustained his sdministration."
The Democrat then publishes and approves the article
from the Mobile Register in defence Of the sound national
men Of the North which appeared few days ago in the

ANOTHER HISS LEGISLATURES.

The Cincinnati Enquirer speaks Of the present egsa-
ture of Ohio in the following plain style:
The present legislature Of Ohio bids fair to rival and
in beautiful legislation and usefulness the celebrated
cave of Joseph Hiss notorety which last year ruled Ma
chuses Never there copgregated at Columbus before
such number of ignobe and impraccabe fanatics, and
did demagogism and hyPocrtcal cant 70 sfscualy
rule the desnies of the great and noble State Of Ohio 1t
b however, not unexpected to reasonable and discerning
men, who observed the auspices under which this Legislature
chosen and the elements Of which 1t composed The
people warned that it would plunge into all kinds Of
natica folly and the specific acts that 1t would proba
bly, pass were named. Those predictions secuted
by our opponents, but time has proved them true.

IMPORTANT DECISION

By referring to teiegraphic column II will be seen
that the ongpending case Of the United States o. Gov
Price has st last been brought to eiose by decision in
favor Of the defendant
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1856-07-03
His CHANCES Of success.

The Era proves conclusively that for q
mere hope Of temporary success Fremont was
put forward at the expense Of better men,
and then figures out his defeat thus. Hear
it:
"Mr. Buchanan will receive, we presume,
the whole electoral support OF the South, or
one hundred and twenty votes. Let us sup
pose that the nominee Of the Philadelphia
Convention shall obtain the electoral votes
Of New England New York. Ohio, Michigan,
and Wisconsin; the debatable States then
will be, PennS lyania, New Jersey, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, and California.
As for carrying California for the Republi'
can candidate, the supposition is swild. That
State is Slavery-ridden-both the Whig and
Democratic Parties there have always
been distinguished by their subserviency to
Slavery. We might os we'll hope for Misscu'
ri. In Pennsylvania, as against Fremont
Buchanan would in all probability command
the entire Democratic vote, and large por'
tionoi the old conservative whig vote.--
Now with his one hundred and twenty votes
he would need only Pennsylvania and Cali
iornia; the two last would raise his vote L
$50, one more than enough to elect.
The available candidate as against Buch
anan, must be able to beat him 10 his Owl
State, and carry New Jersey"
That will do, Mr.. Era. You are sensible
to the last.
