a Homespun PARTY,

is progressing steadily The people of Virginia are
in dead earnest about this matter. While we gen.
temen have contented ourselves, as yet with meet
ings. speeches, Nc., the ladies have begun to act.
Without noise, they have commenced TO give force
and color resolutons-to put our theories into
practice. We had the pleasure, few eveniugsago,
of attending "homespun party" given by patri-
otto lady of this city, whose excellent good sense
prompted her te substitute deeds for words and to
inaugurate at once that system of self-depcndence
which has been the theme of the innumerahe public
meetings held recently in every county ofthe State
The party was decided, brilliant success. More
than hundred ladies and gentlemen; belonging to
the most respected families in the city present.
all of whom were attrcd in part or in whole in
garments made of Virginia fabrics woven in vir-
gnia looms. 1t was strictly Virginia cloth party.

RSy~The following resolutions were submitted

Bas-The following resolutions were submitted at
the great Union meeting held in Philadelphia on
the 9Th inst: ...
The citizens of Philadelphia, assembled in gen.
eral town meeting desiring at this juncture to ex-
press earnest sympathy with their fellow-citzens
of Virginia, recently threatened with an attempt TO
produce serTile revolt have
l. Resolved That the longer the government of
the Union exists. with its manifold and nestimable
blessings the more is it consccrated by the affection
and devotion of those who we do, "know no
North no South. no East no West, but one COM
mon country" whose integrity the Constitution
alone secures and whose varying interests the Union
harmonizes and protects.
2. Resolved That in the judgment Of the cti-
zens of Philadelphia, this sentiment of fidelity to
the Union would be fruitless, did it not imply an
obligation implicitly and practically TO recognize
obey and carry honestly into execution all the laws
of Congress enacted under the Constitution.
3. Resolved That no part of the Constitution of
the United States, or of the laws Of Congress, are
more obligatory on the citizens of the Republic than
those which prescribe the duty of restoring, under
judicial process fugtives from labor; and that all
attempts or combinations to defeat or frnstrate those
provisions, and all State legislation to the end,
are condemned by the Judgment of this commu-
nifty.
A. Resolved, That in view of what has recently
occurred in the Commonwealth of Virginia the
citizens of Philadelphia disavow as they have al
ways done any right or wish to interfere with the
domestic institutions of their sister States.
s. Resolved, That they reprobate, in the strongest
snd clearest terms, all attempts whether by inva-
sion, secret instgaton, or the PRONUNCIATION, in any
FORM of fanatcal opinions to excite scrvile nsur-
rection, or to those who lawfully held in
cor ind IN viz nd sbpd
6. Resolved, That, looking merely to the past
they deliberately express their approval Of the re-
cent administration of justice in the Commonwealth
of Virginia, by which according TO the forms oil
law strictly observed, the commission of great
crime has been judicially proved. and the punish
ment awarded by law to that crime has been in
fiicted

ny" The report we published, last week, of the
reconciliation between Buchanan and Douglass is
confirmed. The Cincinnati Gazette speaks of it not
as reconciliation, so much unconditional sur
render on the part Of Douglass which has caused
death. The Gazette says the South cursed him be-
fore, and viii kick him now but this is a hasty
conclusion, If the facts be remembered. The south.
ern democrats, almost to a man, once denounced
him as traitor, but subsequent events induced
them to believe that he had the key of the Treas
Citations. What they will do now, the devil only
knows.

Be57' 1t is amusing-or would be, if it were not
disgusting-to hear Virginia democratic politicians
denouncing Sherman for signing recommendation
of Helpers book, after having voted for John
Lecher. The Rufner pamphlet is as violent against
slavery as Helpers book, and Letcher endorsed it,
and Virginia democrats made him Governor. This
is far worse case than the ono first mentioned, and
for these reasons Helper is a runaway thief from
North Carolina and his treason to the South is a
compliment. Sherman who signed recommends
ton of the book is a northern man, and says like
Lctchcr, that his signature obtained under false
pretences On the other hand, Rufiner is a man Of
learning and high standing from whom such a
document was not to have been expected. He is
still in Virginia, and has not been erode upon a
rail- I,etchery who endorsed the pamphlet, is a
Virginian, and Notwithstanding his endorsement of
a document as vile Helpers he has since been
elected Governor of the State of Virginia; and the
men who voted for him, are ready to dissolve the
Union if Sherman should be made Speaker. A
southern man. betraying the South, is far more
criminal than northern man, endorsing the
opinions of a southern man. We have no patience
with either but Virginia locofocos ought, for de-
ccncys sake, to kccp their mouths shut on this
subject.

RsS" The doings in Congress possess no interest.
The speeches are for Buncomhe, and hre-eaters who
dcnounce Republicans ON the floor of the House,
may I've seen out side, on the most intimate social
relations with the very men they have denounced.
Meanwhile, with dust in their eyes suffer themselves
to become excited and talk about disunon when the
knavcs who cheat them, contemplate such
catastrophe. This is a disgrnccful exhibit but it is
true, to the letter. and if the people could see their
Representatives as they really are in Washington,
they would be thoroughly disguised, and go to
work to arrest corruption

cannot forbear recommending her TO the patronage
Of a travelling public. Their fare and accommoda-
tons with the kind and obliging spirit Of her gem
tlemanly officers are unsurpassed. AS evidence OF
the latter, We testify to the following incident.
The officers found on deck poor woman and three
children, in destitute and piiiGbe condition, who
offered her last dollar haying but three as pay for
deck passage to point, up the river, where she
seeks her relatives. This was not only refused but
she was taken to the cabin snd kindly cared for,
In addition to this, through the influence Of her
beneactors, the passengers raised her liberal pmsc,
which was received with fearful eyes, and heart
too full to utter its thanks. God wiH btcss tie

pty" Gov. Wise in his Message, rcbukcs old
Buck for his conduct in reference to the IIarpcrs
Ferry insurrecton, and old Buck returns the COM
plment by saying--"All this fuss and parade--thie
marching of troops to and fro through the country
and this continual rub-n-dub of drum and fife was
the dist nonsense and folly in the world. That
with eighteen marines he could have kept every
thing quiet at Churlestown, and in fact there never
had been any danger of disturbance there" Old
Buck is right for once Wise made the fuss to get
the Charleston nomination, aud Old Buck would
have nothing to do with the Brown movement for
fear he might loose the Charleston nomination by
offending the North This shows how inadequate
party is to u wise administration of the federal and
State governments, gp5 how unreliable mere poll
ticons are in the hour Of peril. The fuss made,

PsSyp Ia addition to the Union meetings held in
Philadelphia New York. aud Boston, VIC see notices
Of similar meetings, over and to come off, in New
Haven Harrisburg Jersey city, New Ark, Patterson,
and Trenton. These meetings we have mentioned
to show that there is a sound conservative, national
feeling that pcryadcs the masses Of the North and
but for the Internal politicians, that feeling would
manifest itself in the right direction. In the North,
as in the South the exceptions are made the general
Union, and their noisy demonstrations in favor Of
reopcning the slave trade, find prominent place
ia northern papers, and northern dcmagogues pro-
claim them as southern sentiment, whilst the fact
II concealed that the masses Of the South are for
the Union, and against the snvotrade.
On the other hand, villainous phillipics of such
men rs Seward, Giddings Co. against slavery, are
held up to the southern people as the universal senti-
mcnt of the North and demagogues do nothing
hut try to prove it, hoping to make capital thereby.
This is the way that agitation and sectional excite
ment have been kept up. The agitation of slavery
is the daily bread and the vital fluid of democracy,
and knowing that starvation and death must fol-
low if that he withheld, they cling to it with q
death grip and would rather, tomorrow, see the
Union dissolved than loose their hold upon the
reins of government. Look nj the leaders of the
party, in Congress, this moment. What are they
doing Trying to bring odium upon the Union
meetings in the North for fear that such patriotic
demonstrations may ovcrwhcm dcmocmcy-bury
it under public Indignation and contempt. They
are doing even more than this, in their dying strug-
giles. They stiying, FIRST to organize the House
to stlc investigation of tho corrupt means by
which they have held power and their pundcrings
Of the Treasury; and, failing in this, to give
the organization of the House to the Black Re.
puhlicans, and by that means so increase the cx.
element on the slavery question as to divert nttcn.
ton from their villoiny even Mt the risk of dissov.
ing the uuion. This is their game, and the people
stand 10y, like fools, aud see it played out-forget
ting that, whether the leaders win or loose the suf
irrcrs are the masses. . ...
