From the Baltimore Patriot.
NON. HENRY WINTER DAyI


The vote of the Hon. Henry Winter Davis, in sup
port Of the Army appropriation BILL Nth the Kansas
Proriso attached has crestc little surprise among
his friends and constituents in this city. How he
can reconcile this action with his sense of duty to
those who selected him as their representative, il is
for him to say.
When he cast his votefor Speaker Banks it was
well understood here tina. there were circumstances
which at least palated that apparent lapse, if they
did not wholly justify it. But what excuse he has
for sustaining the obnoxious Kansas clause, and thus
strengthening the HAMS Ofthe Republicans, retard-
ing settlement of the differences between the House
and the Senate and jeola-dtzing the peace of the
country, even those whoare most disposed to defend
any political alteration on his part cannot possibly
divine.
II Mr.. Davis has any ambition TO continue TO re-
present in Congress the city of Baltimore, he must
learn to reflect the sentiments of his constituents
truly than lie has done by his recent vote, or
they will have none ofhim. They desire TO remind
Mr. Davis that it is not at all necessary to his
in opposing Democracy that he should coq"ette
with Republicanism.
They have, moreover, strong conviction that at
the next session of Congress the election of Pres-
dent will devoIve upon the House, and rumor has
already been busy ascrbng to him change of po-
sition not at all compatible with his duty 20 his con-
stituents, they have right to ask him to state
plicitlY where he stands,

YATES COUNTY, n. T. Aug. 20, 1856.
Gentlemen: The Know Nothing in 'his vicinity
are talking loud and long about Ficginas going for
MIR. Fillmore. would like to know if she has SO
far lost the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson as to-
suffer possibility OF giving her electoral vote
to Fillmore?
The New York Know&o,hings are not the only
green "Americans" For instance the New Orleans
Bulletin says: at is almost certain that Virginia
will cast her fifteen votes foc FiIlmore' The veracious
Louisville Journal goes step turther and thus
cnchrs the nail "virginia for long time doubtful,
has now become certain for Fiilmore!!"
Was there ever such infatuatiOn as thus bindE
and stupeirs party, who every day Prore themselves
"Knolv Nothings"? This absurd claim of VirginiH
for Fillmore shows the fimsy character of Know
Nothing predictions in regard to other Southern
States. North Carolina has just calamity elected
the Democratic ticket by nearly thirteen thousand
majority-aud yet she is claimed for Fillmore!
Let the people of Virginia indignantly resent the
