We are, after more mature reflection, inclined to

You are too modest by half II was the best

A part of our vocation is gone or going. We
don't well see how we can 60 on mauling the
Democrats. They are mauling each other so ter
ribly that we have scarcely the heart to strike a
blow. Even when we do strike, we have TO do it
with an averted head, so that perhaps we don't

The Warrenton Wing Gays: son consul

The Warrenton wing says:-On CONSUL
tation, the friends of Bell and Everett, have
determined to hold the grand mass ratitica-
ton meeting heretofore advertised tor the
18th, on the Oath and 25th of August and
the place to be changed from the Fauquler
Springs, to beautiful grove near Warren
ton. Rally Wings, rally! Committees of
management, of finance, of supplies and in
vitations, have been appointed and are ac-
ting with energy"
The Culpeper Observer says We learn
that Beautiful Bell and Everett flag was
raised at Pleasant Hill, in this County, on
Saturday evening last. After the flag had
been thrown to the breeze the crowd was
addressed by John r. Strother, esq, of this
place. We learn that his speech was elo-
quent and patriotic. We are glad to learn
that our young friend has commenced the
canvass in earnest. Six cheers for Pleasant
Hill
There was almost riot in st. Louis,
Tuesday night. Some stones were thrown
into the democratic headquarters, and some
of the democrats, who were holding public
meeting, threatened to clean out the repub-
lican club room. There was for some time,
intense excitement, and danger of gene,
raj riot. There is extreme evaporation
among the st. Louis Republicans.
The Rockingham Register learns that the
the douglas men are by no means few and
far between in Pendleton and Highland,
the hurra for the little giant being greeted
with same salutation by the honest sons OF
toll who inhahit the rude log cabins OF the
mountains and the more com Portable dwell
ings of the more densely populated interior
The report that the republicans have sent
out to Oregon to obtain testimony wherewith
to Gust Stout from his seat in the House ex
cites very strong and deep feeling. The
game will be the most dangerous one ever
yet essayed in politics at this point, if the
election of President goes to the House.
Coleman Yellott, of Baltimore, addressed
large and enthusiastic meeting of Bel
and Everett men ut Washington on Thurs
day evening. The Washington Star pro
nounces the effort of Mr.. Yellott "an able
and eloquent speech, which elected q great
deal Of applause from the audience"
The Rockingham Register hopes that "the
noble Democracy of old Rockingham vii
rally 'in force at the Staunton Conven
| ton"
a meeting of the friends of Douglas ii
Loudoun County, Va, is called to be hello
at Osborn's Hotel, in Leesburg on August
Court day.
B. IL. Shackelford and J. Mortimer Xii
gour, esqs., will address the citizens Of
Loudoun, in Leesburg on Monday, the 18th
Of August-Court day.
Col Forncy sets down the Breckinridgt
vote in Pennsylvania at 1000, and that fol-

4 letter from Dallas, in Texas dated July
Dist is published, which asserts that the
late in@endiary fires in Northern Texas,
were part Of a conspiracy to devastate the
whole Of that country-that hundred slaves
have been arrested and most Of them have
confessed the tact-that they charge white
-abolitionists-with being the authors
OF the plot--that the first of August was the
day fixed on for the general insurrection-and
that the most horrible plans for murder and
rapine were arranged. Such statements
ought TO be we'll authent icated, and accom-
nanied by responsible names. The belief.
however, is universal that a diabohcal plot
has been frustrated. We shall, probably,
soon have reliable details.

PARTY ASIMosITlGs.-The remarks OF
Henry Clay in the Senate of the United States
when the death of John G. Calhoun was an
nounced, are not unsuitable to the times in
which we live. He said:
''Sir, ought We not to profit by the contem-
plation of this melancholy occasion? Ought
we not to draw from it the conclusion, how
unwise it is to indulge in the acerbity of un-
bridled debate? how unwise to yield our
selves to the sway Of the animosties of party
feeling? how wrong it is to indulge in those
unhappy and hot strifes which too often ex-
asperate our feelings and mislead our judg-
ments in the discharge OF the high and res
ponsible duties which we are called to per-
form how unbecoming, if not presumptu-
Gus, it is in US, who are the tenants of an
hour in the early abode, to wrestle and strug-
gle together with Il violence which would
not be justified if it were our perpetual

When Bell and Everett were first nominal

The amount of money expended upon them,
