A PoLrT1cAL CHAEGE.-Hon. II. W.
Miller, Of North Carolina, who was on the
Fillmore electoral ticket at the last Pres.
idential election, and one of the ablest
men in that State, has written letter
announcing his determination hereafter
to support the administration Of Mr.
Buchanan. He says:
On all national question Mr.. Buchanan
has so far, acted as the friends of Mr..
Fillmore at the South. or great majors
ty of them would have desired him to
act. had he been elected. and Mr.. Buch-
snan having avowed his determination to
maintain the constitutional rights of the
South. and having given an earnest of his
sincerity by acts, fearless and unequiyo.
cal in their character. think it would be
uuwise, if not ungrateful in the people of
the South not to sustain him.

REv1vALs IN WESTERN V1RoINIA.-A
Wheeling letter writer says: The past
winter has been one long TO be remem'
bercd on account Of the REVEALS Of religion
that have pervaded all the churches 10
this section OF The country. Nothing
equal to it has been known in this region
of the country even by the oldest mem.
bers of our churches. In 1889 and 1910
gracious revival influence spread
through this section of Virginia and over
the whole southeastern Ohio. That re.
vival was very general throughout all our
connection the Methodist Episcopal
Church) that year. as the, minutes ex,
hibit nett increase Of 154, 900 members
at the CLOSE OF the year, besides the hun.
dreds and thousands who cnnnected them
selves with other orthodox churches.
But the religious influence this winter has
been characterized by a thoroughness
and depth Of interest that far exceeds that
memorable season. In some neighbor.
hoods almost the entire adult population
is brought under its influence know
of many churches where there are from
100 to 200 accessions, while there is but
one church within the circuit Of several
counties. so far as have heard, that has
not shared greater or less extent in, the
blessed work." ...i /.

latter expressing his acknowled gements
for the kind visit ofhis friend, and parting
with him with the assurance that they
were no more to meet again in this
world.
In his dying hours Col. Benton had
the faithful attendance Of his daughter.
Mrs. Gary Jones, who resided with him
in washington. Another daughter. Mrs.
Jacobs Of Kentucky, arrived 70 see him
on Thursday.
The Union of yesterday says:
The President. hearing of the extreme
illness of his ancient compeer, called up
on him on Friday evening. The dying
statesman declared afterwards his ex-
eeeding qualification at the visit. The
interview is said to have been. protracted.
Mr.. Benton is said to have expressed his
extreme solicitude for the condition OF
public affairs, and painful sense Of the
immediate dangers which threatened the
country. He is said TO have exhorted
the President to rely upon Divine sup
port and guidance. and not upon that OF
men. who would deceive him.
A son of VIM. Carey Jones, and the
grand son Of Col. Benton, also died in
Washington on Saturday evening, and
the funerals of both will take place this
afternoon at 2 O'Clock. and be attended
probably by both houses of Congress.
The remains will leave in the evening
train en- route for st. Louis. where the
Mother, wife, and other kindred of Coll
onel Benton are buried.

ORGANIZATION in Barbour.

We cheerfully comply with the re.
quest and publish in another column, to-
day. the proceedings Of the meeting held
by the Democracy of Barbour county,
on the 9th inst. The Democracy of Bar.
bour has always occupied high position
for their unwavering support of the prin
ciples Of their party. When Know Moth
ingism swept over the country. it could
make no inroad in Barbour. The staunsh
Democracy of that county stood firm and
repelled the innovation, and it is now put
ting its foot upon the equally deceptive
cry of "no.party." The "Jeffersonian"
in publishing these proceedings. makes
the following remarks:
1.-THE resolutions so unanimously adop>
ted by the meeting, meet our hearty ap.
proval, and we have no doubt, but thew
will be fully endorsed by every democrat
in the county. And why should they
not? Every Democrat in the county
will have the privilege of voting for the
Democratic candidates of his choice, on

Deterioration OF THE ANGLO SAXON
RACE IN TIE UNITED SrATEs.-A CORES
pondent. who states himselfto be thor.
oughly acquaintnd with the physical pc.
culiarties Of the population OF the differ
ent States Of the Union, rudely denies the
assertion of the English press that the
Anglo.Saxon race ON this continent ex-
hibits evidences of decay. The inhabit>
ants of the Western States, in his opinion,
fully come up to the the average OF the
population Of Great Britain. The inhab.
itants Of Kentucky. part Of Ohio, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, aree fully equal 10
height. corpulency and size to the Nor
mon, the Briton. the Saxon. and even
the Anglo Sa xon in any part Of England.
The population of part Of Georgia, al.
ALBANIA. and of part of South Carolina
and South Tennessee, is on the average
taller than that of any part of Europe,
with the exception only OF the Northern
part of Sweden. From these facts, no
thinks it may fairly be inferred that SO far
from deteriorating. the European races
are destined to attain the maximum Of
physical perfection 10 the United States.

the Revenue; who can say with truth, that
each and every Democrat in the County
has not the right, if he desires it, to par
tieipate in the approaching Democratic
primary election? who can say that It Is
unfair, or the work of clique. unless
they call in question the honesty OF the
Democratic voters of the county? and
where is even the most reckless Know
Nothing. with all the brass common to
that party, that would assert that the
Democratic voters are not competent to
select their own candidates for office? We
have these many years. heard the cry OF
no caucus-down with caususses, from
the opposition; who are ever on the alert
and who well knew that the Democracy.
when divided, is powerless. The cry Of
no party-and down with party organs
cation. is but the Siren song. so long sung
by your political enemies. to decoy you
into the net which has been prepared for
you by the leaders of the Know-Nothing
party. But we are told by the followers
of Sam. that there are Democrats, who. as
Democrats, are opposed to an organiza-
ton. This may be-and should there
be such. we can but regret it. But is
there Democrat in the County, who
will not not vote for the nominees of the
Democratic party after the approaching
primary election. who has not already
made up his mind to vote for Know
Nothing candidate? AS we well know
the Boosting proclivities of the immacu-
late Sam. we expect that they will mag
nifty this evil, and endeayor to lead some
weak-minded, unthinking Democrats as

are many, SO Indifferent to the best inter
ests of that party to which they belong,
