~e~->Azas-$sf The Virginia synod on Slavery.

The Synod of Virginia, which met at Shep- parIstown, on the 2Oth, adopted the following report on the subject of slavery:
 The Synod of Virginia agree in sentiment with their brethren of the Synod of Mississjp pi, that the agitation of the subject of slavery n the church, and 1t may be added in the Stale has been productive ot much evil. In our judgment this agitation is not only calculated to ahenate u c north from the south, but it also lnterleres to some extent with the southern ministry in the discharge of their dutie, to the colored population. It tends to render the condition oi our slaves more undesirable bv leading to the enactment of more rigorous laws by our legislature, both with respect to their liberty and religious instruction It is true that the discussion of the subject has been productive of good by inducing thorough Investigation oi the principles essentially ia- volved III the relation of master and slave
 We have reason to believe that one result oi thls discussion Tn our branch of the chur h has been a general concurrence in the opinion, that siaNeholding Is not sin per Sea principle that les at the foundation of the extremes of northern aoolltnnSts. Our general assembly. Ill HIS acton on the subject of slavery has vi. tuaiiy repndlaed the idea that slaveholdin, k essentially slniul. We attribute this result in some measure, to the discussion of the oueS. ton m that body. We believe, also. that this alScusslon has contributed to give our nortb barn brethren more correct views of the system of s'"e'y as It exists among us-that by the state neht oi facts by southern delegates. many have had their prcjudces removed. and are usposed to leave the subject where it shonlJ always have been left, with those who bavetha power to regulate it.
 but notwithstanding much good may thus nave resulted from this discussion. inc Synod ot VlrSinla Is fully pe.sualed that the evils howlnS from this agitation have conntrrba. ianced all the good effects incidental to it Wa believe that notning but harm can Come from any inture agitation of the slavery question We believe also that there are but few comm. ratively ln our church who desire the iutro,lnc- ton of the subject into the general assemblv The great body of our northern ministers a,,d chnrcnes are satisfied that the assemblv has gone as lar as 1t could constitutionallr and that the relteratlon of past declarations of sen. .r,heut r, Is both unnecessary and inexpedient.- There are doubtless presbyteries in certain DOT. tons oi the country which, in conseouence of an outside influence, either political or ecclesi. astical, brought to bear upon them, may wish further acton on the part of the assemblv,--
The true Democrat., 1856-11-18

But they constitute very small proportion of the church. In the present state of pubic feeling on the general subject DO church that has northern connection can be ehtlreiy ex- cmpt from persons who will desire to speak upon it whenever an opportunity IS pre- sented.
 Inasmuch, therefore, as the general assem- ply has never, either directly or indirectly, en- dorsed abolition principles, and as we are con- vinced that the desire to agitate this yeXed question in an ecclesiastical iudicature is con- | fined to small number of individuals i'll our connection, your committee think that no ac- ton on the part of the Southern Synod is at 1 present called for. At the same time would say that if different state of things from that l we believe now exists should occur. and If the general assembly of our church should hereaf- ter adopta course involving our constitutional rights, we shall be prepared to unite with our brethren north and south in adopting such measures as Divine Providence and our best judgments, enlightened by the truth and spirit of God, may indicate in the premises. Your committee recommend to the synod the adoption of the following resolutions:
 l. Resolued, That i'll the judgment of the synod no necessity exists in the present state of the church for further action on the part of the soutberR synods.
 II. Resolvel, That the statcl clerk of the synod be directed to forward a copy of this minute to the stated clerk of the synod of Mis- sssipri expressive of the views of this 1 body.

The Ocean Telegraph.

The New York Journal of Commerce, refer- ring to the passage of q resolution by the board oi Aldermen rendering the freedom of the city to Capt nerryman and the officers and crew oi the United States surveying steam ship Arctic, remarks:
 The action of the board wa. well deserved compIimeht, for the officers of the Arctic have fully demonstrated the feasibility of connect ing the two continents by telegraphc wire: and in this circumstance the prospective reta- tions of the two largest commercial nations of the globe are intimately involved When such
 facilities exist for ready intercourse as are now contemplated, diplomacy may be more safely relied on as a substitute for the sword. and mercantile transactions will not be liable to those continget ces arising from delay and mis apprehension which now so often lead to diff culty. The bed of the ocean was found to vary but slightly from plane, thus effectinr a considerable saving in the lenptb of the wire compared with what might have been reasona- ply expected. The arrangements for l,rin,, the wire are not yet completed, Mir. Field he, ing at present Tn England with reference to '''S matter, but we learn that the telegrapbic cohnectioh c between this port and St. Johns N. F., lS nearly complete. An unexpected ueiay arose from a miscalcuation as to the iehSth o' the wire going through Nova Scntia accustomed by inaccurate surveys, so thatit was necessary to return to England and procnre twenty-five miles additional--mnking tL,, whole length of atmospheric wire 125 miles ms portion IS nearly finished, and the two submarine cables between St J,ba,s KY Prnce Edwards Island and across tho Gnlf of o'' Lawfehce--oae over fifteen miles in euoth ana the other eighty y-fve-are found to be com. plete and in the best workiny order Tbo ,.n tire expenditure on this important cntern,;sa up to the present time, is between S6Oh oOo and S'oO,OOO.

Napoleon, Ark Nov. 13, 1856. GENTLEMEN:-YOur kind invitation of this date, to make an address here on political affairs Is just received.
 For almost twelve months, have been in. tending to address the citizens of Desba at this point, but have been deprived of the pleasure by series of obstacles not to be set aside. It would be very gratifying to me now to ac- cept the tiattering invitation rendered bv vour- selves, but for the reasons already stated var lally and not necessary to be repeated here-J am compelled with regret to decline r. ;s matter of rejoicing, however, to me and to all patriots in the land, that the great battle of ike constitution has been fought and tcon and speeches now arc unnecessary. Buchanan and Breckinrdge are elected, the cause or demo. cracy Is gloriously triumphant, the twin broth CTS, Sam and Sambo beaten and crushed. and We are not ueceSsta;ed to further efforts in behalf of the rights of conscience and civil freedom.
 Partaking in the fullest degree of the com mon joy of democrats over that great result. and thanking you sincerely for the kind terms in which you speak of myself,

De Tocquevlile, in his recently published work on France before the revolution of l7S9, draws thls cxquistey wrou Int pict;.re of the French nation:
 "When l consider this nation in itself it strikes me IS far more extraordinary than any in our annals. Was there ever auy nation on the earth so full ot contrasts ald so extreme in all 'tS actions; more swayed by sensatons, less by principles led therefore always to do either worse or better than was expected of 1t, some- times below the common level of humaitv. sometimes greatly above it--a people so unal- terable in its leading instincts, that its likeness may still be recognized in descriptions written two or three thousand wears ago, but at the same time So mutabe in is daily thoughts and III It's tastes as to become spectacle and an amazemcnt tO itself, and to be as much sur prised as the rest of the world at the sight of what It has done; people beyond all others the child of home and the slave of habit. when leit to itself, but when once torn against its Will from the native health, and from it's daily pursuits, ready to go to the end of the world and to dare all things; indocile by temperament, yet accepting the arbitrary and even the vio- lent rule oi a sovereign more readily than the Tree ana regular government ot the chief citi- Zen; to-day the declared enemy of all obedi ence' tomorrow serving with q sort of passion winch the nations best adapted for servitude cannot attain; guided by thread as long as no one re>ists, ungovernable when the example oi resistance has once been given; always de- celvlng its masters, who fear it either too little or too much; never so free that 1t is hopeless to cnsave 1t, or so ensaved that it may not break the yoke again; apt for all things, but ex- ceiling only ill war, adoring chance force. sue T more capable of heroism than of virtue. of oe. nius than of good sense; ready to conceive im- mensc designs rather than to consummate great undertakings; the most brilliant and the most dangerous of the nations of Europe. and the best fitted to become by turns an object of ad- miration, of hatred, of pity, of terror, but ever nf in1li hnrnnrn

The Official Vote of Arkansas so
 far as heard from

The following is the official vote of Arkah- sas for President, so far as returns have been received The vote is not large one' but shows that the State has fully sustained her democratic character So far, Bnchanan's ma iolity is even larger than Governor Conway's though in the remaining counties it will hardly hold out The returns indicate that Buchan- an has received considerably over t,0o-dtircls of the votes cast. Indeed, Fillmore seems scarce ly to have been in the race at all. All honor to the living and invncble democracy of Ar kausas! Maj Flounoy can take the banners. They are his We have gorlously won them. Arkansas is, undoubtedly, the democratic ban ner State. Long may she wear the honor!

State Officers Elected by the General.
 


 The following are the gentlemen selected by the General Assembly to fill the various State offices:
 T. B. HANLY, Supreme Judge
 D. B. GREER, Secretary of State. WM R. MILLER, Auditor qf PuJltc Accounts JOHN II. CREASE, State Treasurer. J. W. McCoNAUGHEY, Land Attorney and
 State Collector.
 These gentlemen are all democrats, and were the nominees of catcus of the democratic members of the General Assembly. The de- mocratS throughout the State will be gratfed to learn that their democratic representatives and senators have not only adopted the caucus system in choosing officers thus giving their Know Nothing opponents no voice in the mat fer Whatever but, so far as the democratic par ty itself Is concerned, have shown 2 fixed de- termination, at the sacrifice of every personal consideration, to promote and sustain its har- mony and ascendency
 We have viewed the proceedings of our de- m ocratic friends in the present Legislature with TO small degree of pleasure. Their course augurs well for the party-they have inaugu- rated pohcy-the policy of caucu55ing- which we trust will be initiated and followed 'n all times to come There is nothing that contributes more largely to the harmony of party than the decision by itself and within itself, of all questions of party importance. By this step we rule out our opponents entirely. and render all bargaining with them and sacri fees to them, utterly useless and thereby pre- vent it, We thus keep our party united and Pure-harmonious and powerful.
 The democracy of the present Legislature have inaugurated this policy and to them are due the thanks of every democrat in the State. who believes with us that the cause of his party is the cause of the country

From the tt. spitb IIrrnll E.v

fTrln the fL suntlI Herald, Nv. S. l 0~-r The election in this place on Tuesda, last went off peaceably. There was quite a large vote boiled, there being at both prccints some three hundred ani thirty-iv votes taken, being am Increase of eight or ten over the num- bct Eojlrd M August The democratic caudi- dates for electors received 16O votes and the Know Nothing clndi dates received l75, makipg a majority for the latter of titeen At the August election Yell received majority over Conway ot tity-two votes. The election of Tuesday shows a falling off from the Know Noihiugs and considerable gain for the demo- crats A majority of those living in other pre- cIncts who voted here, are Know Nothings.-. We rejoice at the election as an evidence o the spread ot correct >e timents.
 | l. * most gratifying evidence of tho tr- umPAs pf the democracy. Discard the vote | Of transient rcrsous n the Quarter Masters employ and there IS d large democratic majority | in tnia township.
 Much complaint is made by our citizens at the course puraucd by !he managers of the C. M. department here. A II or nearly all of those employed m that department at this post arc Know Notliugs, and the keel boats left here several days slGce on thelr way to Fort Gibson run up few miles, laid by and the hands re. turned hele to vote. These things are com plnned ot continually. InAuguat similar com plaints were made; we do not know of our own knowledge that the acting Quarter Master and his clerk are to blame, but if all we hear be true, there Is something rotten in Denmark ;, The election in this township, at the August election was controlled by the votes of men who have never resided in the county except while in the employment of the United States. Men, who have no identity of sentiment or interest ln the community, and who, when dis charged will return to their residences in other counties or States. This "foreign element in the hands of selfish and interruptions dema. sosucs, has twice stitlel the voice of the maio- rlty of the permanent citizens, notwithstanding we claim the result as brilliant triumph of the democratic party.
