The One.Iden Party.

The Know Nothing press boasts that it
intends TO make but one issue in the pre-
sent canvass, and that the distribution Of
the public lands among the States. This
Is characteristic OF the party OF mysterious
oalhs and sacred grips. II never had but
one idea, and that consisted OF a desper.
ate effort 10 get into power! II was this
desire which originated the party. and
clothed it in mysteries more subtle than
those which surrounded the Spanish ln>
QUESTIONS. II was this which caused il
10 become abolilionizrd atlhe North, and
it is this which has land diStI i6uted it at
Il e South. We hear nothing nov said
about the "cursed foreigners. "-foreign
inhuence-the iniquitous Pope and his
agents IN this country. Whipped upon
these issues and made ashamed of their
very name and organization, they have
now turned up another humbus. which
like all their other schemes TO defeat Il {:
Democratic party. is an appeal 10 the pas
sIons and cupidiEy ms cad of the good
sense Of the people. But the like Iale
awaits them which has befallen them in
every previous contest. The people of
Virgin" are not to be bought up like cat,
tie in the shambIes. They will not sur
render their principles Tor the pitiful sum
OF two cents each of land money, which
they might get under the change OF o icy
advo Gated by the friends Of distribution.
Such cattle rs Hatteson and other New
York Black Republicans. may sell their
votes and barter away their characters for
few acres of public lands. but the De.
mocracy Of Virginia will never do it.

The Land Humbug,

A writer in the Fairmont Yirginiau
tells the following plain and homely
truths in regard to the last humbug Of
Know. Nothingism:
"What man in the Democratic party.
who has witnessed the controversies ON
this subject in the past. and recorded his
vote Tor she Democracy. after being con!
vinced of the honest and Just motives Of the
Democratic leaders. in refusing to claim
from the general government that which
We have no actual or apolitical right
would now record his vote against that
which he always supported. without any
reason or cause whatever. unless isis for
sympathy. because it has been broug ht
from oblivion by the crocodile tears of the
rag tag and bob-tail ola dying and soon
to be forgotten party. !H4
"We are all aware that the distribution
policy which has been SO often dragged be-
tore the country by the opposition. and SO
often repealed by the Democratic Legis
lature of Virginia, whose actions have
been sustained by the voice of the people,
is again the question TO he met and re-
pulsed by the Democracy throughout the
State in the present Congressional and leg
i>latiye campaigns. But not now, like in
times gone by, when it was ushered forth
by parLizans. who studied their counlry's
wants. though they often erred in their
plans to promote her interest and advance"
ment. Not now, like then. when the dis.
tribution OF the proceeds OF the public
lands was the production Of party based
upon grave and Constitutional principles
but alas. those days are gone when the
Democratic party had TO contend against
an honest and honorable foe, and now
instead of meeting party With principles
trailing with hunored light. prepared by
men whose integrity. judgement and pa
trioIism could not be questioned, we find
the leaders of the land di .tribution, gen
orally to be uDprincipIed .renegadeS OF all
parties. from its champion, Garlic. down
and through the whole catalogue. We see
too. that men anxious to be- promoted 10
places Of distinction. who have never yet
informed themselves in regard 10 Mr.. Car
lIle's distribution bill ready. and willing
| to bind themselves, sal and 6Ody. 10 20
Tor it, or any other bill of like character.
that is calculated to cIeate unworthy
abuse against the honored and worthy
leaders oil the Democratic party. In con-
cIusion. l would say. that if the course
pursued by the Democratic party in l842.
and since that time was correct. which
we have no reason TO doubt. surely there
has been no change in affairs which
would demand different policy now.
"Yours respectfully.
"a JACKSON DEMOCRAT"

Our Prospects.

q. As. a general interest is felt in the re.
suit OF the election 10 this district for
member of Congress. we are disposed to
crafty our friends both in and out Of the
State. with the information that the pros
poets of the success Of Democratic Princi-
plies. and the wiping out Of the foul blot
that stains our escutcheon, are " bright
and Frightening" Mr.. jenkins. the De-
mocratic candidate. will be elected by a
large majority-larger than any Of his
predecessors. ~ yr .. ~0 b. .r., .s,.
The canvass is being carried on with
great spirit and energy. MIR. Carlile is
laboring most assiduously TO humbug the
people. with his visionary land scheme,
while Mr.. jenkins is as zealously engaged
in exposing the futility OF the proposition.
Under the force Of his arguments. this in
sidious humbug Of our opponents is re-
coiling upon them with tremendous effect.
and instead OF contributing to their sue
cess. will aid materially in their defeat.
The old Wings who supported Mr.. Clay's
plan Of distributing the proceeds Of the
lands, will not support the mons1rous
proposition" to divide the lands them.
selves. and no Democrats. except very
few Of the " tishy" order. whose previous
vacillation has deprived them Of all indu.
ence. give it the least countenancc. And
the abandonment of" Americanism by
our opponents. gives US another decided
advantage. ....-. ..... ..
The Democratic party throughout the
district is perfectly united in the Jealous
support of cur candidate. with the excer.
ton Of some of the disappointed aspirants
and their GOODNESS only incites warmer
support by the others, and will do nc
! harm:
In Harrison county, many will vote fo'
Jenkins who voted last fall for Fillmore
Accounts from Randolph. Barbour. Up
shur, Lewis. Doddridge. Richie. Kanaw
ha and Jackson, are that he will GEL
about the vote given for Buchanan; while
in Cabel. Putnam and Mason, he will gel
more than that vote. In Wood, oul
friends confidently expect majority o.
100. In all human probability. Mr.
jenkins will carry the district by about
5000 majority.
