More Threats.

More threats Of DisuniOn are made
by John Lrtcher Of Ruf1in memory,
the Governor of Virginia, because the
late Executive of Iowa would not
break his neck to deliver up one of
the Harpcr's Ferry refugees, upon in
sufficient papers, and because the new
Governor of that State had the inso-
lence not to endorse the doctrines of
the Black Democratic school of politi-
clans, upon the negrO-slavcry question.
what child's play is this !! Does Gov
ernor Letcher imagine that the public
are such fools as not to see that this is
mere feeble continuation of the dcs-
perate game inaugurated by Secreta-
ry Floyd and Gov. Wise, to make the
latter President?
We learn. by the bye, that Mcssrs.
Letchcr and Wise have agreed to drive
Mr.. Bolts out of the State, but they
have not yet decided upon the best
plan OF cf1rcting that most difficult
job. Perhaps they will wait till the
meeting of the Opposition Convention
on the 22d instant, and then apply
their hosting prtard, so as TO get rid,
not only of Mr.. Bolts, but his hackers,
all of whom are now set down AS Black
Republicans by their Black Democratic
enemies We should not be aston
lshcd to see Gov. Lctcher send mes
sage to the Legislature, threatening
to dissolve the Union, instantcr, I'M
less the Convention shall retire beyond
the State !-Bdttim0ye Patriot.

Looking after the COrruptiOnistS.

Mr.. Hoard Of New York has offered
q resolution in Congress and secured
the appointment of a special Com
mittee to investigate and report whcth.
or any improper attempts had been
made by any person connected with
the present Administration to influence
the action of the House, or any Of its
members, upon any question or meas
ure that may have been before it, by
means of brides, promises of Office for
self or friends, by intimidation, favor
or regard, with power to send for
persons and papers. The preamble
to the resolution refers to the state
ments made on the floor, by Messrs
Haskin, Hickman and Adrain, that at,
tempts had been made by the Admin
istration to purchase their support for
the infamous Lecompton bill. The
resolution was most savagcly assailcd
by the Democratic members, who were
unmeasured in their vituperation but
in spite Of the frantic efforts of Hons
ton, Florence, Clemens, Extra Billy,
and other rottcns," the investiga-
tion was ordered. When there is such
n cloud of dust kicked up there must
be some dirt under it. The Democra-
cy are exceedingly sensitive about
having the secrets of the White House
made public. We shall be agreeably
disappointed if these inquiries do not
result in some startling developments,
some astounding exposures. Every
body knows that the Government con-
tracted to pay Majors Il Russcll-the
great Kansas border ruflians-an
enormous price for transporting sup
plies to the army i'll Utah. 1t has
long been suspected that some black
mail" was levied on that firm, and it is
now whispered, in Washington, that in
COuSlutIdtlOH vi lHC upuDlc pliCt
agreed to be paid them, they gave
their promissory notes to certain Dem
Ocratic politicians for more than half
q million of dollars, and that this i'm
mense sum Of money has been used
as Democratic corruption fund to ill.,
fluence elections. 1t is also rumOrcd
that more than half the black mail )"
aforesaid, remains unexpended and is
reserved as a fund to aid the Demo
cratic party to elect the Charleston
nominees, by employing the money in
the close and doubtful States The
truth Of this report will be probed to
the bottom by Covode's Smelling
Committee" That whole Utah expe-
dition needs an overhauling Six mil
lions Of money have been sunk on it,
and what has been accomplished -? 1t
has been marked from first to last
with blunders, plumber and peculation.

In his recent eulogy upon Senator
Broderick, Mr.. Norris of Illinois ut
tered the following truthful senti-
ment:
"The boldness of honesty and truth
is too often the gateway to detraction
and death /; while the artful and willy
politician and dissembler, by the
tricks Of his art, passes on upon the
high road Of power and fame, to bask
in their sunshine"
