A WORD FOR THE PETERSBURG INrELL1GENcER-
The Petersburg Intcligencer conscious of the weak
ness Of its candidate, Mr. Fillmore, is constantly ap-
peaing to the Democrats to abandon Mr. Buchanan
and 60 over 10 his support The Inteigencer must
be just towards Mr.. Buchanan before it can expect
Democrats to be unjust 70 themselves and very gen.
erous towards Mr.. Fillmore. The Intelligencer has
been and is now daily publishing, under its Editorial
head garbled extracts from Mr.. Buchanan's speech
in the House Of Representatives, in. 1896, Cd the
Panama questionable object of such garbling being
to prove Mr. Buchanan abolitionist at that time.
We have the speech before U.S. in Gales and Seatons
Register Of Debates; and the Editor of the Intel.
gencer can easily obtain it. if be wishes, and exam
inc it for himself He suppresses those portions of
it in which Mr.. Buchanan depores and condemns
abolition interference, and declares that

Remember the 4th of Noyemberl

The time for argument has well nigh passed
mems minds are pretty we'll made up The great
thing now to be doneis, to get out q full Democratic
cots.
Let the Buchanan mcn-the friends of the Con-
sitution and the Union every where, remember that,
and act accordingly.
A full vote in North Carolina will be brilliant
Democratic victory.
We appeal to our friends every where, to see to it
that every Democrat who appears to be Indifferent
Or lukewarm is urged and inauced go to the polls
But how can any Democrat be lukewarm at time
like this?
Remember Tuesday the 4th of November The
best hopes of mankind hang on the result of that
day. The contest is between secti:nalism and dis
nionism, as embodied in the Fremont party, and
the CONSTITUTION and the UNION. which can alone
be preserved and perpetuated by the national De-
mocratc party.

RE-CAPrURE OF THE LoUDoN SLAVES AT CARLnE,
PAS was stated last week, (says the Loudoun
Mirror) the negroes who recently escaped from this
county have been arrested. We have since been
pleased to learn that the citizens of Garlic, Penn.
behaved very handsomely on the occasion, and af-
forded the owners of the slaves every facility in
their power for the recovery of their property
When the fugtives were arrested and taken from
the cars at the depot there attempt was made by
the free negroes, and few white men present to
" raise row" but the United States Marshal was
promptly in attendance and took them into custody.
The Mayor of the town then addressed the crowd
and told them that these citizens of sister State
were there in pursuance of law, to recover their
property, and that they must not be molested. The
great majority of the audience heartily seconded his
remarks AID declared that they would sustain him.
After the investigation was had and the slaves were
prov ed and identified the officers summoned small
posse to accompany them out of the State, and al
though there was considerable crowd collected at
the Marsha's office at the time. they were passed
through without the slightest disturbance.
This, be it Observed was in Pennsylvania, not

We hold that native foreign, who holds ae-
gance to any foreign prince potenate power and who
refuses to recognize the Federal State Constitutions as
paramount to all other laws" should be permitted to hold
ohce III this country Charlotte Wing.
We hold the same doctrine, and we insist upon it
quite as strenuousy as the Charlotte Wing can do.
We know Of no one in North Carolina who HOLDS
contrary doctrine. The main object of naturaiza.
ton is to transfer the allegiance of the European
subject and thus to citizenize and Americanize him.
But we hold, also, that man who has taken the
three degrees oaths of the Know Nothings is not
fit person for office in this country. He is bound
by triple oaths, first to obey his Council, and next
to obey the Grand Council of the United States
His liberty has been s0orn aaeay; and we know of
no power which is able to absolve him from his
oaths Know Nothing, for example, is solemnly
sworn to exclude men from Office on account of their
religious belief; and the Constitution of the United
States expressly provides that religious test shall
ever be established for Office in this country What
then? How is this Know Nothing to take an oath
to support the federal Constitution? Again. every
Know Nothing is sworn to vote for none but Know
Nothings for Office. What is that but faction p
what but an effort to prescribe and punish for opn-
ions sake?
