This had been concluded necessary, in order to meet

done, on wheat -four, corn, &c.-So that our Road

Hon. WARREN WINsLow. During the debate up
on the subject now before the House of Representa-
tves Qhe Sumner affair." the Hon. Warren Winslow
err in the premises. This, we believe was his first
oratorical effort in the House, of which he is an
efficient and deservedIy esteemed member. In the
commencement of his remarks, he spoke calmly and
eloquently Of the agitation now existing in the coun-
try, and in spirit of fervor, pointed out the duty
of every lover of not mere section but of the
tire, our common country. His language was chaste.
and flowed with grace and earnestness from the lips
of this statesman from the "Oid North State" His
voice and manner were in entire accordance with the
language in which his heightened sentiments were
expressed. He commanded the attention Of all the
members present; a compliment which the auditors
at the Capitol especially -considering the noise
and confusion which usually prevail-cannot fail
to appreciate. Washington Eoening Star.

Political Discussion.

We understand there was a discussion at Leach.
burg Johnston County, on Saturday before last, be-
tween Sidney A. Smith, Esq, and DR.. j. 7. Leach,
the subeectors of their respective partes and that
Mr.. Smiths speech was triumphant vindication of
Democratic principles. He exceeded even the most
sangune expectations of his friends, administering
some very severe medicine to the Doctor and his
party, which it is hoped will aoork well. The De-
mocracy of Johnston were never in better spirits.
They are confident of a clean sweep" in August
next, and we feel confident they will make it.

Ill known that. in the last Assembly, he moved to

basis and opposed the federal population and taxa

Ford and Gilmer side by side!

Gov. Ford. of Ohio, is known to be rabid abol-
ton Know Nothing. In speech recently delivered
by him in Worcester, Massachusetts,, he said:
The truth is you have done too much already for these
southern fellows. You have submitted to indgnies that
onorabe hgh-mindei men ought not to submit to. Iou
NE aored them to count negroes eQno three Yankees
While they clI ose mere chatteis GU ought
upon the principle to count cattle, your bank
stock and your wealth generally in making the basis of
representation You have since the formation OF this gov
basis"
Mr.. Gilmer used the same language in substance
In the western Address" He objects, as Ford
does, to the federal basis, by which 50 five negroes
are equal to three Yankees" Mr.. Gilmer strikes
at the federal basis here at home, and Ford does it
IN Massachusetts, Ford denounces the repeal of the
Missouri restriction, by which slaves were let in to
hansas-and so does Gilmer Ford isan oath-bound
hnow Nothing-and so is Gilmer.

ANDREW JACKSON DoNELsoN AssAILING Mr.. FILL
MORE, AND DEFENDING Mr. BUcHANAN.-It is known
tina, Andrew jackson Donelson, the X. n nominee
10, Vice President edited for two three years the
Washington Union. We remember that, during
that time, we felt it our duty to differ with him. and
to rebuke him for what we considered erroneous
doctrine; and about the same time Mr.. Venable of
this State, administered to him cas:igaton in his
place in the House, which felt by the Democra-
cv generally to be we'll deserved. No man at that
time assailed Mr. Fillmore with more bitterness than
dill Maj Donelson. Differing with many Of his par
II associates in relation to some of the compro-
mise" measures of 1850, yet here he faithfully re-
f,cted the Democratic feeling, in exhibiting Mr..
Fillmore and his administration in their true colors
before the American people. Among other things
he said "In fact, Mr.. Fiilmores strength at the
South never had any root in the public mind
True enough, for it was Gen. Tayors strength that
carried the ticket Maj Doneson, in the q Union"
of 1851, gave Mr. Fillmore credit for act but that
of signing the fugtive-save law but it would have
been stark madness in him" he added "or any
other President to have refused that signature" He
also characterized his administration as one Tong,
sad, tedious failure and 6zunder'-denouncedi it for
its corrupons its yielding 10 abolition mobs for its
hostility to the South and denounced Mr.. Fillmore
himself for his old, and, for time, dormant ABo-
lroNIsM." This we confess, is not pleasant pic
ture for X. Ms to look upon yet it is drawn to the
Efe-it is Donelson's own work-he said it and did
it. He also says he is "a Democrat of the old
jackson stamp" Is this the entertainment TO which
the old Wings are invited? Are they to vote, or to
be denounced if they do not vote, for mar who
thus wrote of Mr.. Fillmore. and who declares that
he is neither an old line Wing, Know Moth
inc but Democrat?
Maj Donelson also, while Editor of the Union,
defended Mr.. Buchanan most earnestly against the
fse charges brought against him by his opponents.
The X. n. leaders who are supporting Maj Donel-
son, will therefore please bear in mind, when they
arc making their charges against Mr.. Buchanan Of
ten cents day." Democratic blood " freesoilism,
old federalism, and the like, that Maj. D. in 1851,
pronounced those charges untrue.

NORTH STANDARD: WEDNESDAY, as5s.

20 Mr.. Gilmer and other K N. speakers are
endeavoring to make something for their cause out
Of an extract rom the Standard Of August 16 1852;
which extract they say, is Editorial. We have al-
ready shown their mistake-i in this matter They
have been misled by the Signal Of this place, which
made the extract without stating as it should have
done, that it was from copied article.
The article referred to, and from which Mr.. Gil
mer quotes, was copied from the Western Democrat,
and is over the signature of "Old Style" 1t was
written after Gen. SCOTS nomination. and its tone
is that of mortified Fillmore man-of one who, on
account of the setting aside of Mr. Fillmore, acted
thereafter, more or less with the Democratic party
PROFESSIONALLY, when an Editor copies political
article into his paper he is understood, unless he
expressly states to the contrary as approving the
general drift and object Of the article but cannot
be held responsible for all the sentiments and views
it contains. Nothing can be clearer than that.
Our files will show that we predicted Gen. SCOTS
nomination, and told our readers that Mr. Gmer,
Mr. Miller, and other ardent Fillmore men, however
they might then protest against such course by
their party, would nevertheless acquesce, aud make
themselves conspicuous Scott champions The re-
suit was as we predicted. They-not we-declared
the salvation of the South and of the Union depend
ed on Mr.. Fillmores nomination. We repeated what
they had said to the people, and endeavored to hold
them to it. And now they attempt to make
sponsible for what they said in 1862 and to hold us
up as the euogist of Mr.. Fillmore! 1t won't do,
gentlemen. Judge US by our own Editorials and
by the general drift and tone of the articles which
We copied and shall not complain. You ''slaugh.
tered" Mr.. Fillmore to make room for an unsound
man,-it was your work and he was your lavoritc,
not ours. And now-aiter having rejected him in
1852, and after having tried your chances with
military chicf,ain whose leading recommendation
was that he was favoritc with Seward and likely
therefore, to obtain large Northern vote-you come
forward again with MIR. Fillmore, bound as he is
with triple oaths to political association, and
strive to make capital for him by attributing to his
political opponents the very arguments in his
behalf which you advanced in 1852, and then took
back ignored. The game is too palpabe to de-
ceive any one. 1t only serves to show your own
inconsistency and the weakness Of your cause. The
extract referred to, and which has been read by Mr.
Glmer, does not contain sentiments in regard
to Mr.. Fillmore. We never used such language
about him Ediiorially; and in copying the article,
though we approved of its general object, we did
not endorse that portion of it to which reference is
made. 1t is quite easy, but not very credtable, to
garble the language of a political opponent.
