Those Norroik Questions.

At political meeting held few days ago in the coun
ty of Sussex Mr. Lamb, the Breckenridge electOr, who
propounded to Mr. Douglas the Norfolk questions
stated that he had forwarded the nterrogatories to
Mr.. Breckinridge and that the only response received
was copy of Mr. BIS speech, sent under the VicePre
sidents frank.
A copy of his Ashland speech indeed wonder
fully explicit response on the part Of poor Breckenridge
to the Norfolk questionsl But will such miserable
evasion take with the honest people of Virginia? VIII
they not demand Of Brcckinridgc full and satisfactory
reply to the Norfolk questions? Aud falling to get such
reply will not their manhood and patriotism force them
to vote against the "llum" Yancey candidate?

inridge until he answers the Norfolk questions

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

From hs Nee Orleans Piedyune October 8.
The brig KineO Captain Morse which arrived OF the
Pass Tuesday morning. direct from Vera Cruz but sub
sequenty went ashore elsewhere reported brings to
US several days later news from Mexico. Il is OF the
most important character and not only confirms what
we have before had in regard TO the final condemnation
aud coniscaton OF the Spanish barque Maria Conetp-
GoH but presents entirely phase Of the recent
difficulties between the two governments.
Il is 10 this effect that Immediately after the arriV
out Of the Spanish Peiasco with official dis
patches from Havana before stated, pass
ed from the Spanish Commodore to the Constitutional
Government demanding the immediate restitution oil
the condemned vessel and the payment Of damages,
otherwise the city Of Vera Cruz would at be bonn
barded. As compliance with this demand had already,
in accordance with the decision of the courts been for

peremptory terms, its contents at
muncated to Cap: Jarvis Of the United States soopof-
war SlBdnah aud flag officer Of the Home Squadron.
TbereupOn Capt Jarvis immediately passed note to the
Spanish Commodore, in which he not only condemned
his course in the decided terms il deserved but finally
concluded with declaring the words quoted TO us
that he would consider the first shot fred upon Vera
Cruz shot fred upon the American Squadron"
In consequence of this note all further action in the
matter suspended and the whole Spanish Squadron

shat the people of Virginia-whigs aud Democrats
ake-were opening their eyes to the present and pros
pective condition Of our public Affairs.
Just consider a moment. While the people OF Virgil
MIA in consequence Of the DsuniOn agitation, are con-
PEELED to dispose Of their slaves at loss, on original
prices Of three or four hundred dollars head, how
stands The case with the people of the Cotton States
with the people of Yaneeys State Alabama and all the
other Gulf Satssg Why. these Cotton State gentlemen
want TO buy negroes and they obliged to buy them;
and they are obliged to by them of Virginia, too. And
what Is more 10 the point, they are noV buying
them, in great numbers, and buying them cheaper,
by three or four Adred dollars ahead than they have
bseu enabled to buy them for long years past And
Why do they get them cheaper now? Why, for the SIM
pie reason that IN consequence Of their o0R agitation
and threats about Secession and DSUROH, the price of
negroes have fallen in the market Of Virginia. And
thus these Cotton State gentlemen are making money
out Of their agitation and making it at the expense OF
Virginia. In word, these Cotton States people, who
want 70 buy negroes and Who obliged to obtain their
necessary supplies Of negroes from as are interested in
keeping ~ agitation on the question Of Dsuuion know
ing that such agitation viii Keep dozen the price Of ne
gross in Virginia. In word, any disturbance or unea
aes among the people Of Virginia operates to the pc
elnary advantage Of the people Of the Cotton States
aud aware Of that fact these Cotton State gentry are
interested in creating and fomenting disturbances
aud alarms among the people Of Virginia. And it
s well, therefore, TO keep sharp watch upon the
agi,ators and SccessOnists Of the Cotton Safes
We fear that the desire for cheap negroes, and
not regard for the political rights of the South, is
ut the bottom Of all the dsuniOn agitation in the Cotton
States and of the whole policy Of the Cotton States pO-
litisians.
In view ofthess facts and suggcsonset the people of
Virginia be admouisbed in time. Let them at once, in
difference 10 their own interests and their safety
turn their backs upon Yaueey and his candidate for the
Presidency and resolve to give their voices and their
votes in behalf Of the election Of Bell and Everett
