The Fredericksburg Herald contends that the
Democracy of King George and Stafford, by
their recent resolutions, have "rescued from re.
proach the name of Geo W. Summers" They
denounced Summers for holding the same opin-
ion twenty six years ago, that Letcher held ten
years ago-and yet they are now in favor OF Mr.
Letcher! We prefer Mr. Letcher, of the Demo
Gratis, because we believe he is faithful and true,
and would make good governor; but, if in g.
lecting him, justice should OF last be done to
Geo. W. Summers, it will be an additional graf.

UNNECESSARY ALARM.-Tbe political bowels
of the Standard are nightly moved by sus-
picion that we are in company with VIM. Ii.
Seward. 1t affords US infinite pleasure to relieve
him by informing him that we are not in ''com-
pany" with VIM, H. Seward, nor with Lincoln
whose election over Stephen A. Douglas the
Standards man, Mr.. Buchanan, so ardently de-
sired-nor with any one else who claims equali-
ty for the Blacks with the Whites The circle
in which we move is composed of conservative
men-men who steer clear of Northern fauati-
cism, and Southern disunionism. The STANDARD
and its confreres, will again set up the old cry,
that Democrat must be elected President, in
order to save the Union. Whenever the spoils
begin to slip from the fingers of the Democracy,
the Union at once becomes deeply imperilled.-
For one, we have too lively a recollection of the
canvass in 1885, to participate in these patriot
&c % fears. Then, Mr.. Buchanan was to be e.
lected to prevent the election of Fremont, to
bring Kansas into the Union as Slave State,
and thus to save the Union. Buchanan was e.
lected, and we should be glad to know what the
cause of the South, or of the Union, has gained
by the operation, and we should like to know
how much worse off than we are, would we
have been if Fremont had been elected instead
of Buchanan2 Will the Standard tell us2 Git
izen Holden may save himself the trouble ofat :
tempting to bolster up this windgaled and spav-
ined Administration by shouting Seward, and
Abolition. Such cries now, instead of brighten.
ing Wings into the support of tile Democracy,
only set them to rejecting on the fact that that
Party has proved itself utterly incompetent to
administer the Government for the good of the
people, and the security of the rights of the
uth.-Raleiah Register.

The Mission TO MExIoo.-No appointment to
Mexico is now contemplated, notwithstanding
the newspaper rumors to the contrary. When
Mr.. Forsyth was taken at his word, and very
much to his surprise, the President determined
that no successor should be sent until the condi.
ton of things there should give some promise of
stable government. Tie unsettled and revolu-
tionary state of the country now does not justify
this expectation, though it is said there is fair
prospect of zuolagas downfall. Between the
contending parties it is only difficult to decide
which of the many is the worst. The SO called
Liberals have as much idea of free institutions,
according to our ideas, as Musselman has OF
the decalogue. Mr.. Black, the United States
Consul at the city of Mexico, who has been sta
toned there nearly quarter of century, and
who understands as we'll as anybody can do the
mongrel elements of Mexican character, has in-
structions which will provide for any emergency
that may happen in the absence OF Mirister.--
The complications beqeathed by Mr.. Forsyth re-
uuire more than ordinary address to restore even
the imperfect relations we held previously.

HEARTLEss HoAx-On Thursday (hanksgiv-
ing day. hundreds of the poor of New York
were made the dupes of some reckless, unfeeing
wretch, who secured the publication OF notice,
20 which he forged the names of several respect
able citizens, announcing that on that day 5000
pounds of bread and 1900 pounds of beef would
be distributed to the poor at Union Square. The
Tribune, after stating that the notice was cruel
hoax, says Before A. NJ, the poor began to
assemble in the square, and at 10 o'clock we
were informed that there could not have been
less than 1000 persons present. When we ar.
rived many hungry and heart.sick people had
gone away. Among those that we saw were
many men, evidently mechanics out OF employ
ment, whom winter had found wholly uuPre-
pared in clothes Or purse.

but two were made in the open air, and seven
speeches were made or continued during heavy

end to end, every railroad line in the State, ex
cepting three, besides making long journeys by
means of horse conveyance and steamboats,; the

NEGRO Dry GOODS THIEF AND HIS RECEIVER
ARnEsTED,-An important arrest was made yester-
day by officer Bouosa Of the Second District police.
For long time past, at intervals, bundles and pack
ages of dry goods have disappeared mysteriously
from the store of Messrs J. Levos & Co. at the cor
ner of Canal and Bourbon streets. Being mystery
past the ken of any in the store, it was commu
nicated to the police; and Boulos4, going to work
upon his past experience, found that among those
who had the entree and exit of the store at least
the upper story thereof from which the goods were
missing, Bazile slave boy belonging to Mr.. Le
vols, and considered model of aith(alness and hon
esty by his master and every else about the store
Bazies great reputation for honesty (strange as it
may seem) caused the police officer at once to sus,
pect him as the thief, and SO, after getting the
promise of the gentleman in charge not to alarm the
negro by any intimaton that he was suspected,
Boullosa got programme of his daily peregrinations
and watched him. For four or five days he has
been following him and lodging him like shadow.
Yesterday standing at the corner of Bourbon and
Bienvile streets, he the darkey along with
a square pasteboard box in his hand, and enter a
cabaret on the opposite corner kept by one Charley
0gilVie. Atterward he saw Bazile drinking at the
counter and then saw him come ont without the box.
