TRIBUTE TO THE VIRGINIA EXILE.-The
following eloquent passage is taken from
the speech o: Hon. Philemon Bliss of Ohio
delivered on the 18th OF January in the
House OF Representatives, in reply to Mr.
Keitt of South Carolina:
s-Phere are also in the slave states, native
Republicans who have not forgotten the
doctrines oi the fathers, as well as Republi-
cans who have fed the Old World to se, u
personal rights and not a iabama Planta-
tons All these would speak and write
and vote as they think, but slavery forbds

long adoption, than hole districts OF her
dominent caste; this man become guilty OF
disloyalty to the slave interest. The poor
around him found friend, and oLe who
sought to aid them in that career that gives
character to the frce-state laborer; ragged
and shirkir slaves, the deficiency of whose
thriftless labor must be supplied by the sale
of their young men ard mOmen, lie gave
employ yment TO the dependen flee whites

their doom. Thus enlisted in the elevation
of labor, he was of course Republican,
and vindicated his principles by his action.
This man, thus noble a I'D true, not even
suspected of violating any law, just or un-
just, merely for the security OF slave domin-

and thus are crushed his experiment of free
speech, and his attempt to elevate tree labor.
Virginia, not he, feels the blow; for the
name of John e. Underwood will be honor

A.friend At Washington sends US the ayes and
noes on Humphrey Marshall's resolution to sus-
pend the rules for the purpose OF taking action
on the Bill to extend the period Of naturalization
to twenty one years. Mr.. Bingham, who belongs
to the Know NOthings, and who holds his seat as
the member from this District, by virtue Of Know
Nothing ballots, did notvote at all upon this car
dinal article in the Know Nothing creed. And
the friend who writes US, says ''dodged, sure e.

to say that we think As little of the principles,
objects and modes Of action Ofthe Know Nothing
organization as any other; and that next to not
voting agsinst the resolution. the best thing
Mr.. Bingham could do was to 90 outside ofthe bar
when his name was called. But just here we
desire to call the attention Of honest and ardent
men who joined the Know Nothing 'organi-
ration to the exceeding "base use" to which they
have been put. Here is . man who took their
oath, protessed himself one of them, and made
speeches in their lodges refuses to aid in
carrying out the principal feature Of their policy
upon the very rstopportunity that presents itself
He refuses to do it, not BY an open and manly op-
position that would indicate an honest change Of
sentiment; butby DODGE. And he is not sim
gular, there are numerous other instances in con-
gress; End in the Ohio Legislature, where the
Know Nothings have an overwhelming majority,
aud where the nature OF their oaths imperative
ly require them to put their principles into the
shape oflaws and resolutions, they have been
eminently successful in finding show not to do
it." 1t must be apparent by this time to all
that the Know Nothing managers never design
ed to carry out the principles they profesSed.-
They made hollow professions to pave their way
into office and it is for those whom they have so
shamefully duped to say whether they will Ion
ger be used as mere tools for the elevation of I'M
principled men. The same disreputable game
will be attempted again, when those who feel as
men should feel who have been played upon by
cunning and unprinciplcd politicians will have an
opportunity of awarding proper punishment

in my power to induce men to vote the Repub-
lcan ticket on all occasions.
You may, therefore, imagine my surprise when
I read the last Ca1z Republican, nnd saw that

trying to procure the Republican nomination for
me for County Treasurer next fall, had turned
against me. mean the editor Of the Repabli
can. Well, "Repubiics am ungrateful," any
how. Mr.. Hatton was my warm friend in 1855
in trying to get the nomination Of that office for
me, and why he should turn against nae pow, |
cannot tell. As some of my friends have pro-
ved treacherous to me, the public may consider
me no longer a candidate before the Republican
Convention for that office.
As to the intimated charge Of my having had
private conversation with you about that office,
pronounce untrue. We often have converse

have, bat they are public. Caves dropperS
