MuTINE IN THE OPPOSITION SHlP!
A prominent Wing Editor repudi-
ates Black Republicanisln

the New York Erpress, journal well known
as the leading organ of the Fillmore party in
New York, in 1856, recently sailed for Europe,
and in bidding temporary farewell 10 his rea-
ders, thus expressed himself:
CAS- my name is to continue upon the i'm
print of The Express during my absence in Eu-
rope, | avail myself of that coming absence 10
say, am not responsible Tor its political course,
that belonged TO no party organization since
1853, and that | am not likely 10 belong TO any,
as parties now exist.
What prompts me now especially 10 break
silence, is the revolutionary and anarchical
speech ofthe very prominent Senator from New
| York, made on the eve Of an important cleo
ton, to oe approved or disapproved BY his
State, and the seeming approval this great State
has given to the speech. Seeming, | say, be-
cause | cannot feel that the State at heart en-
dorseS revolution, or the resulting anarchy; and
yet it cannot be disguised that the endorse
ment has all the force OF reality, or, that the
coming Legislature, ii vacancy existed in the
| United States Senate would re-eect him TO
fill it. After such States Endorsement, then,
of such speech, | cannot as Journalist, re-
fran from saying, with full sense of the mean
ing OF these words, that, in my Judgment, no
political calamity could be greater than TO add
TO the New York endorsement, the endorse
ment ofthe Republic, which his friends are
contriving or shaping for him. Conservative
Whig as am, of the school of Clay, aud Web
ster, and CIittenden, trained in their ideas of
Constitutional Law and Order, can have no
sympathy with contemplated Civil Revolution
or Domestic Anarchy, and therefore shrink
from and repudiate all entang emenis that may
lead to them"
When such men as Mr.. Brooks (who is not
party man, But an impartial and unbiased
witness) do not hesitate to declare the doctrines
of Seward and his party to be revolutionary
and anarchical, is it not high time that all pa
troic, law-abiding, Union-loving citizens set
their faces against those doctrines and oppose
with all their strength the party that uphoIds
them Can any one who ever was a Wing,
have sympathy with The contemplated Civil
Revolution, or Domestic Anarchy" which Mr..
Brooks pronounces TO be the end and aim OF
Mr.. SEWARD and his Black Republican suppor-
ters Can any man who ever believed lin the
Nationality Of the creed TO which Clay and
Webster subscribed, endorse the sectonaIism
which confines the Black Republican party 10
but one half of the States of this Union
E-Ihe fellows who invented the lalsehoods
concerning John Amos and Jacob Beckley, for
the purpose OF defeating those worthy gentle
men at the late election, are trying their hands
at new batch Of stories, the scenes Of which,
however, are laid at quite respectable distance
from home. Their lies about Bedford county
matters, are too easily detected and they have
been caught Too often telling them, 10 attempt
their repetition for some time to come. So
they hash up yarn about the Imprisonment Of
'Tunker" minister, away, down in Tennessee,
for going there and denouncing one of the IN
stitutions Of that State. They publish this tale,
toithom a shadow of evidence thqt ii is true,
simply because they expect by SO doing Ito a.
rouse the feelings Of the FTunkers," who are
peaceable, quiet, unobtrusive citizens, and with
whom they find il necessary 10 use some extra
ordinary and exciting means to drive them into
the arena Of politics. Such base electioneering
as this, merits the contempt and condemnation
OF all honest and respectable men, The prin-
cPles OF party must be rotten, indeed, if such
miserable tricks as these are required 10 bolster
them up.
Another of this new grist of Abolition e:roor-
backs" is the charge that President Buchanan,
in his late message, re-opens the agitation of
the Kansas question. The Presidents statements
concerning Kansas, are such as under that
clause Of the Constitution, which requires the
Executive TO give Congress information of the
estate Of the Union" he was bound to make.
The President would clearly not have fulfilled
his sworn duty, had he not given full and ex-
plicit history of Kansas affairs, since his last
annual message to Congress. But, on the prin-
ciple. that there is no use in ''castng pearls be-
fore swine," we shall at present refrain from
any further contradiction, or exposition. of The
faIsehoods Of the Aboitionists.
FIRE.
On Mo nday night last, between the hours of
ten and eleven, the citizens of our town were
aroused by the cry of "fre," and fo- time all
was noise and confusion in our usually quiet
streets. The burning building proved 10 be a
stable on the lot occupied by Mas. FILLER, and
owned by Judge Daugherty, in the southern
part of the town. The flames ragged with such
fury that ii was impossible to save the building,
and it speedily burned to the ground. Had it
not rained through the day, and had not the
roofs of the adjoining stables been very damp
there might have been far sadder tale TO tell.
