country. We are ground to the dust, and in
the dust must continue TO lie. And why3
Because we have chosen to exercise our own
independent judgments and our own free wills,
in the adoption of our political opinions and
political measures. Because, 10 short, we can't
think, in all things, just as the Democracy
think And is that crime in country pro-
Tossing to be freel Whetherin reality crime
or not, it has been so adjudged by the domi-
nant party of Virginia. Nearly one-haif the
citizens OF the Stale are now political outlaws
in the estimation, and by the despotic fat, of
the Democracy which PIRATES SO beautifully OF
freedom and eqnal rights. And yet, for pres
ent Purpose, these poor, prescribed, prosecuted
higs are now the special "lj' cts OF Demo-
cratic admiration and praise Is not the rea-
son perfectly spparentl
But we are rtioiced to believe that the Wings
of Virginia and elsewhere still retain rec"l-
lection of their wrongs, and still cherish an un-
dying purpuse of revenge. Some few may seek
the embraces Of their ancient enemy, and thus
demonstrate their folly or depraviiy, or both.
Others again may form a temporary alliance
for given and temporary purpose; but we
again assure the Democracy that, notwlth
standing their incessant opportunities, and
their graceless fiattery. the great mass OF the
old line Wings of the Union will preserve their
integrity and avoid all contact with party
which lures but To GisIOmor aud degrade. 1t
is idle, therefore, for Buchanan or his friends
TO rely upon support trCm that quarter. And
under that conviction, we advise them to forth
with abandon their disgusting wheedling and
their silly love making. 1t is not worth the
tronhle-it certainly will not pay.-Richm0nd

H- II is really amusing to see how some
of our Known othing contemporaries are exer
Cising themselves OU6r tie yOUthfUJ iRdiScre-
ttOHs Of Mr.. BHchaHdR. After u most eabora te
antiquarian stigation, they have found out
that some forty-four years ago, on a memora-
BILE 4th of July occasion he made speech, 10
which he said divers hard things about the
Democracy; and for which, they, Of course
ought now TO vote against him. Now it does
really seem that the Know Nothing arnory is
poorly supplied with instruments of war, if
nothing but squirt guns can be brought out in
the very opening OF the fight, and we now
fec satisfied, of what we have for some time
conjectured, and that lie, that the Fillmore and
Donelson opposition to the Dem ocratic party
would commence with a squirt aud end with
squirt. The Nashville Patriot seems to have
taken the lead in this puny W artare. We had
hoped better things Of that pBper.-,SumRer
Flag.
We regret that our friend of the Flag
has felt constrained to plead the "infant
act" in palliatiou of Mr. Buchanan'S oppo-
sition TO the war; and that he is disposed
to regard condemnation Of that opposition
as "puny warfare We had learned from
democratic leaders to believe opposition to
the war of 1912, and dcnuuciations of the
patriotic administration of Mr. Madison,
very serious and very grave offences, and
that it was high duty devolved upon every
true-hearted American citizen to rebuke
them in tones OF Indignation. In that war,
which did more than centuries of peace
could have done, to exalt our uation and
to make her respected abroad, the great
chieftain, JACKSON, won immortal renown,
and in the Congressional deliberations
which ended in declaring the war the la
mented Clay laid the foundation of the
confidence, love, and generation Of the peo-
pie, which so signally characterized his
eventful life Friends Of these departed
worthless have, on no occasion, heretofore,
omitted to condemn those whose opposition
TO the war indicated that they were want
ing in that high appreciation Of the honor
and interests of the nation which all who
love their country aud her free institutions
ought to manifest. And we see no good
reason why Mr.. Buchanan should now be
made an exception. When he made that
memorable Grafton" prostituting the ma
tional Sabbath to the denunciation Of Mr.
Madison's administration and the glorious
war which made it an epoch in the history
Of the nation, ever to be remembered with
emotions of joy and triumph, he was in the
morning Of vigorous manhood, Twenty
three years of age a period of life when
indiscretions generally lean TO the side Of
the ncbler attributes of human nature.
When the proud spirit, spurred by the
promptings of chivalry, leads to patriotic
efforts TO win applause. That Mr. Buch-
anan's led him to oppose the war, and to
denounce and TO vilify Mr. Madson's adj
ministration, is, if anything, additional rea-
son why he should be condemned.

The acceptance by MILLARD FILLMORE, in
words simple and to the purpose, of the Amer
lean nomination for the Presidency, will be
read with heartfelt rejoicing by every friend
of the Union. 1t will also strike terror into
the rank. of the BUoHANANITEs, the Black Re-
pubIicans, the Bolters and other miserable Sec
tionalisrs
Some one circulated the report that Mr..
FILLMnRE's acceptance was contained in an
epis;le of several columns in length. We
doubted this report, from The first. Why
should a patriot without guile, statesman of
enlarged aud liberal views, sincerely devoted
TO the Constitution. and man in the noblest
acceptatiOn of the term, fill columns with
vain protestations2 Mr.. FILLMORE points to
his past services in behalf ofhis beloved coun-
try, and says, that ''should the choice of the
. Convention be sanctioned by the people, /
shall. with the same scrupulonS regard for the
rights of every section of the Uuion which
influenced my conduct, endeavor to perform
every duty confided by the Constitution aud
laws to the Executive"
With Mr.. FILLMORE, glorious past ensures
a future proud and honorable. How different
to that of the Democratic nominee, Mr.. b.
oHANAN, who has turned bis coat so often that
: lie seems to possess the properties of the Cha
mellon. The old sturdy Democrat, ANDREW
jackson, truly observed to General ARM
STRONG, that "Mr. BUCHANAN was all unrea-
bic man." In endorsing the PIERCE platform
with variations, la FILi5usterO we have a
clear proof of the calamity that would befal
the Union should BUCHANAN be elected. Fill
busterism, suggested and sanctioned by the
! Cincinnati platform, would probably be the
order of the day, unless checked by Congress.
Turn from the contemplation Of such pic
! tire and listen TO the words of Mr.. FILLMORE.
He is sincerely anxious to see the administra-
ton of our Government restored TO that orig
inal simplicity and purity which marked the
first years of its existence; and if possible TO
quiet that alarming. sectional agitation, which,
while it delights the mOnarchists of Europe,
causes every true friend of our own country to
mourn" Speaking from profound experience
he tells of the delight which mon archists feel
in witnessing the shame which Mr.. PIERCE has
cast upon the cOuntry-a shame which would
be deeply aggravated should Mr.. BUCHANAN
succeed to power Let US trust that this hu
initiation will be spared our country, and that
every Southern man who is now being led by
the nose by the imperious power of party, will
see the error of his way, and mounting on the
broad platform of Mr.. FILLMORE aid in the
perpetuation of our rights and liberties.

Horrible Outrage-InRWgurati of the
Reign of Terror.

Reign OF Terror.
A correspondent who was present and
witnessed one Of the outrages committed
on the Buchanan meeting, in this city last
week, furnishes us the following particulars:
As an instance OF the ''indecency" charged
with such pe-tnacity upon the American par
~, may mention a circumstance that occur
red while the first speaker was on The stand
Jle had been laboring for some time in very
tame, hin sort of harangue, which promised
anything but bounteous harvest Of enthusi-
ssm,-a few feeble efforts at cheering was oil
that rewarded the laborer. He now broke
out on new strain, ending with short pause.
(expectant as it appeared to me, of burst of
applsuse) At this juncture, the only response
that was heard, was the voice of little boy,
ten or twelve years of age, ringing out, far
beyond the outskirts Of the crowd. "HURRAH
for FILLMORE !" in clear and sonorous tones
The merriment this was calculated to awaken
on the Americans in the assembly, though I'M
questionably genuine, was suppressed. evident
ly out Of respect to the speaker; and can say
emphstically, that it produced 10 disturbance
that could interrupt bis discourse. But to
him, that little boys unlocked for ''bnrrah,"
seemed to arouse anything but merriment. He
affected to be confused BY the interruption,
and took the occasion to remark that ''tbe
Know Nothings showed disposition 10 disturb
the meeting" and, thereupon, branched off
upon long reprimand, by indirect mpica-
tion, exhorting the democracy never to dis
turb their meetings, &c, &c.
II occurred to me at the time, that the hint
was enough for long and virulent article in
the Union and american in regard to "Know-
Nothing disturbances" etc.

Another specimen of the unfairness of the
Patriot, is its efforts to make the impression
upon the minds of its readers that Mr.. Buchan-
an is opposed to the existence of slavery in any
of the new Territories aud new States, by
publishing what he, az certain meeting of the
citizens of Lancaster (Pa) in 1919, in his youth,
before he had learned to rise above the preju-
dices common 10 the section of country in
which he happened to be born.-SuD1ncr FLag
1t was at the early age of taoentysigh
that Mr.. Buchanan, in 1919, disclosed his
sentiments of. hostility to the extension Of
slavery into new Territories, aud at time
when the Union was shaking with the agi-
tatiOn Of the Missouri question.
Seven years subsequently, when he had
arrived at the age of manhood, (sOme peO-
pie think they are men at twenty-one, and
had been sent to Congress by blue-light
federalists, he proclaimed on the floor of
the House, slavery to be GREAT PoLIrI-
CAL, and A GREAT MORAL EVIL" CURSE"
upon the country, and devoutly "Haakcd
God his tot Ind been cast IN q State achere 1t
did not erid."
Later in life, after he had probably sown
his wild oats, and could count .ff,y-throe
years upon his ages register, he declared,
in substance, when Texas asked to be an
nexed to the Union, feel great repug-
nance by any act of mine to extend the
Union over new slaveholding Territory
but as believe annexing you will make
free States of Maryland, Virginia, Kentuc-
ky and Missouri, and the dominion of slave
~ thus be limited instead of enlarged, |

FIIImere STOCK Rising.

A private letter from a well informed
gentlemen residing in Clarksyille, says:
"All lie right 10 this region, certain, Fill
more stock Il rising and Buchanan stock going
down, aud that rapidly. We have them in
Tennessee beyond the possibility Of doubt"
No one can mingle with the masses and
hear them talk, without coming TO the con-
clusion which our correspondent has arrived
at. Fillmore stock is rising, and will con-
tinue TO rise.

Scraps from the Record.

We republish the following extracts from the
/ Fredericksburg Recorder, which appeared in
that paper before the Cincinnati nomination.
We give them as we find them in the NeuoS,
and call the attention Of our friends to these
Democratic opinions: Rich. Whig.
ave do not wish to be understood as dee
tracing from the merits of Willard Fillmore.
He proved himself true to the Constitution,
and is entitled to the confidence of the South.
Dem. Recorder.
"If we elect President who did not parti-
cipate in the struggle for the Nebraska bill, IT
will obviously be no signal triumph of the
principles Of that bill; and at the end of four
years he will retire from office, leaving the ia
natcal agitation of the slavery question, not
only unappeased but exasperated in tenfold
degree. Let the South no longer compromise
and temporarize with this question, but march
up to it boldly, earlessly, resolutely, and settle
it now and forever. If we must surrender orr
right to the selection of one of our OwnasOns,
the South will never be content save with the
nomination of one who breasted the storm OF
fanaticism, aud bore CALAMITY aloft amid the
furnace of trial through which our constitu-
tional allies have been called to pass, the ban
Dem Recorder.
This is our objection to Buchanan. He
may be true to its principles, but he has been
removed from the scene of action, and is not
committed to its support, except by acquieS-
ence We prefer an actor whose interest is
identified with the maintenance and establish
ment of the principles of the bill. Our ohjec-
ton cannot be removed by the building up of
a platform, and placing Buchanan upon it.
Most men will walk upon any platform for the
Presidency. We are not willing to furnish
plank, however narrow, TO the anti Nebraska
Democrats who are found wanting in the hour
of our need, to return upon il. The nomina-
ton at this time would, we think, furnish this
plank, and we are sustained in the opinion, by
The fact that his warmest friends in Washing
