A BALTIMORE ABOLTrIONIST IN
VIRGINIA..

What with Henry Winter DAVIS cooperation
with abo;ionsm free soilism four Know-NO-
thing preSSes-tlle open advocacy of Fremont by a
portion Of our citizens-the aYowals from Know
Nothing partizans all hands of preference for Ere
mont over Mr. Buchanan-and finally the abolition
proceedings Of Of the Councils of the Se:rCt
Order together with the insane conduct of BALTIC
moreuns abroad, a notoriey for nbolitonism is fast
being given city throughout the South. From
the Richmond Wing we learn that there was cOnsid-
cradle excitement on board the steamer Eiryin'a
while max ng the trip from Baltimore to
fredericksburg, last Saturday afternoon, in conSe-
qnence of the meddlesOme interference of au abOli-
zionist IN matters that did conccsn hiT. AT a
landing in Lancaster, Va. the boat took on board
about one hundred negroes, purchased by Southern
planters and others from the Cabell estate The
individual alluded to, hatling from Baltimore but
whose name we have been unable to learn, soon
began to express his ncendi .ry sentiments, both to
to negroes and whites, using the most violent Ian
guage in regard to the institution ofsiavery. When.
the boat reached Tappahannock, where this man
proposed to stop, he was told thar information OF
his conduct would be commun Gated to the people
on shore, when be would have to look out fos him
self.
On hearing this he became alarmed and refused
to get off !; wheTeHpon he taken and put the
wharfby force, narrowly escaping a duckine in his
rapid transit. The excitement then became intense
among the people on shore, who determined that
he shoald not stop there and after considerable
consultation, II agreed that he should he plac-
cd on board in charge of friend, and back in
the return boat to BaItn,ore.-BaA. Republican.
