EE We stated in our last number that
the editor of the Washington Constitution
was an Irishman just from his native heath
An intelligent Irish friend, who does not
want his native country to be charged with
the folly daily perpetrated through the
columns of the Constitution by the creature
in question, informs us that he1s an English
man, and further, that he has never for
sworn his allegiance to the British govern
mcnt. Yet this disciple of Exeter Hall,
comes to this country to eliminate the prin-
ciples of our government, and teach the
South and the Democratic party their rights
under the Constitution Modest Mr.. John
Bull-how grateful we should be for the
wisdom of your counsels Slidell, the yam
kee imported to the South. Bright the wes-

held such trust; yet we must say, that
their prudence, discretion, and faithful rep
resentation of the views, sentiments and
wishes of the District have commanded gen
eral approval. If they had consented to
commit the Tenth Legion Democracy to the
plans and purposes Of the factions and Sc
ceding and disunion element Of the party
it would have been better for them If they
hadn't returned. They did their best to
accomplish the object Of their election fail
ing in that, they did the next best thing
that could be done under the circumstances
they went for an adjournment Of the Con-
vention to Baltimore, where a nomination
can and will be made.
We are glad, indeed, that the steadfast
and true Democracy of our District, and Of
our whole section, were properly represented
at Charleston. Had they been present in
person they could not have had their wishes
and views more clearly and fully expressed
than they were in the action Of their dele
gates, Messrs Moffett and Yost.

Cobb, jr., and Fanny Fern. Mr.. Everett
is also scholar and gentleman, but ma

Unit Vote.

Our respected and able cotemporary, the
Alexandria Sentinel, than whom there is no
more consistent and influential Democratic
editor in the State, objects to the position
We have assumed in relation to the Unit
Vote" Had our friend been present in
Charleston to have witnessed the attempts
in the Virginia delegation to prescribe aud
disfranchiss those delegates who had the in
dependence to think for themselves and who
refused to wear the collar of certain persons,
he would agree with us that the Unit Vote
of Virginia is not what it once was: and that
there are no obligations of party feal:y or
state pride to maintain it. AS now perver-
ted, il is indefensible before the people-to-
tally destructive of the ends Of justice, and
can only serve to accomplish the purposes
of scheming and reckless politicians. -
Whenever healthy ambition to uphold the
democratic cause irrespective of men shall
again control The delegates to National
Convention, we may, as a matter of policy
acquesce in it. But so long as it is USED
for other than such purpose, We are entered
as it's enemy to fight it to the death, in the
name of the interests and rights of the dem.
ocratic masses Of Western Virginia.

comes to this at last, and it is useless to dis
cuss speculative and nicely planned theories
which contravene this idea. II was to this
the Nebraska Bill looked-the reference of
the whole subject to the people to have or
not to have, just as they might deem expe-
dent and profitable, the institution CT sla-
very-to take the subject out of the halls of
national legislation, and leave it with the
people, where it properly belongs, for them
to regulate to suit themselves. We care not
one fig what they call this, it is the only
practical view that can possibly be taken Of
the whole question, and hence the people of
this District heartily approve Of the doctrine
of Non Intervention by Congress in the
Territories. and endorse the position taken
by their delegates at Charleston.
