A Great Deal in Appearances.


An enthusiastic admirer and thorough going
friend of Douglas rode all the way from High
land county to Staunton to enjoy the great pleas
ure of seeing the 'Little Giant and hearing him
speak. When the Magnus Apollo of his admra-
ton was introduced to the crowd, he was so as
tonished that he held his breath. "My God"
he soliloquized, sis it possible that can be the
great Douglas, the Little Giant of Illinois,
He says that be looked at Douglas and then at
Hon. A. Fl. Ell. Stuart. He looked upon this
picture and then upon that He saw the d.
minutive and unprepossessing figure of Douglas
with his coat tail entirely TOO near the ground,
and the commanding figure and handsome per-
son of Mr.. Stuart. He says that he thought,
eGoodness gracious, gracious Goodness, shall
wemake that man Douglas) President, and keep
this man (Stuart) at home.' He could not over
come his utter astonishment, and went home
determined to vote for Bell and Everett. His
father and his two brothers will do the same
thing

ssTHE Car OUT OF THE BAGn-Hon. VIM. W
Boyce, few months ago, in his speech at Ebe.
nezer, South Carolina, made the following can
did exposition of the plans of the disunionists
A There are persons at the South, who instlv
ipceDsed by the hostile course of large norton
of the northern people, sustain e0ery aggrauatand
issue that arises, IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE THE
TWO SECTIONS, AND BY FORCING POWER INTO THE
HANDS OF SECTIONAL PARTY NORTH, TO FORCE
THE SOUTH INTO REVOLUTION"
Also notice the following from the same
speech:
s'Under these circumstances, think am au-
thorized to consider this question of slavery in
the Territories as purely speculative. True
craftsmanship consists in the pursuit of the prac-
tical for government is practical affair As
we can gain nothing practical by the most ar
dent and successful pursuit of this question, !
think it is wise in Us to dispose of it for the
present, by leaving it where the Constitution and
the bred Scott decision now place it,"
Yet upon the shallow pretence of what the
distinguished South Carolinian terms s'specu-
lative question:" these Disunionists are now
seeking Ito quote his language ''to ALLEVIATE the
two sections, and by forcing power into the
hands of q sectional party North, to force the
South into revolution"
Would to God that the people, the patriotic
masses of the South, would lay to heart these
truths, and visit upon the heads of these reck-
less schemers the punishment due to those who
would bring upon our native South civil war,
servle insurrection, and all that gloomy train
of horrors which come sweeping in the track of
DisunioD!

Bachanan a mere ssAutomaton.''


/ The '1adependent Democrat published in
Charlestown, Jefferson county, which supports
with much zeal the secession ticket OF 3reckin-
ridge AID Lane, says that, Notwithstanding the
Democrats in that section friendly to the Ad-
mlnlstration and the secession ticket demanded
the removal of Col. A. NJ Barbour, Superin-
tendent OF the y. S. Armory at Harper's Ferry
the President would not only not remove him.
but refused to accept his resignation, because he
was qJaus6 to do it-because, in the language Of
the democrat" che is not the President of the
United States, but the mere automaton of one Of
his Cabinet" meaning Ex.Gov. Jno. B. Floyd,
who is the friend of COL Barbour
Though the ''Independent Democrat is very
indignant because COL Barbour was not re-
moved, yet in speaking of him as gentleman
and officer it says:
HE is gentleman we highly esteem for his
many noble and manly traits of character. de
has made one OF the most popular Superintend-
ents that ever filled that Office, and we know
that among the Africans of the Armory he has
endeared himself as no other man holding that
position ever has DONE"
1t seems that the Editor of the 'Democrat''
does not stand alone, for it says:
''We must confess that the refusal of the Ad-
ministration to accept COL BIS resignation has
not only excited the most utter surprise nd as
constituent among the friends of the Admiaas-
trdtaon, but it has induced feeling of and5gna-
ton and contemptn

Mr.. stuart,s speech in Wheeling.

For an account of the speech delivered recent
ly in Wheeling by Hon. A. q. Fl. Stuart, we re-
fer the reader to the communication signed 81
in another column. The following notice we
extract from the "Botetourt Journal" paper
published ip Bridgeport, Ohio:
''The speech of Mr.. Stuart was close, ratio
cinative, logical argument. Ithad telling effect
upon the audience. All were highly pleased
Some of the wavering were captivated, and not
few made complete somersaults. We heard
one Lincoln man, living in Bridgeport, declare
it was the best speech he ever heard in his life,
and that from this time on be would act with
the Bell party, as the only one which held true
Constitutional principles.
"The meeting was large, the Athen@um being
filled to OVERLOOKING, and the enthusiasm was
extreme. Boquets and wreaths were thrown
upon the stage in great profusion. The spirit of
genuine liberty was aroused, and all left fully
impressed with the determination to cling to
the Union, Constitution and the Enforcement OF
the Laws"

Greatness OF stanton.

Stanton is aimuch greater place than its mag
nitude indicates. It possesses great talents,
great wealth, great enterprise, and great beauty.
It contains more talented and eloquent speakers,
and greater number of them, than any city or
town in the State, not excepting the Metropolis
itself It contains more beautiful ladies, and a
greater number in proportion to population,
than>any other city or town in the ''Old Domin-
on." In this respect, it is to other towns in the
State as Hyperion to Satyr. We would caution
those gentlemen who do not desire to have their
hearts transfxed with the arrows of Cupid, and
dosnot wish to. have their path of life illumina-
ted by the torch of Hymen. to keep away from
Staunton, for if they venture within it's precincts
unless their souls be incapable Of approaching
the worth of virtue, and their hearts be insensi-
BILE to the charms of beauty, they will be inevi-
tally involved in the silken meshes of love
scrape.

GRAND RALLYI

Remember that there will be Grand Rally
of the friends of Bell and Everett, the Constitu-
ton and the Union, in Staunton, on the 10th
day of October. We expect to be enabled to
announce in the next issue the names of the dis
tinguished speakers who will certainly be here.
In the meantime let all those who are friendly
to the election of the Union ticket remember that
it is expected that they will unite with the clubs
in their respective neighborhoods, and come into
town in order of procession. What neighbor-
hood will furnish the largest procession on this
occasions 1t is hoped that our Union friends
will bring supply of eatables, as there will be
grand pic mic to crafty the cravings of the
inner man after the enjoyment of the "feast of
reason. and the flow of soul.o

Fusion Meeting.

After the discussion between the Breckin-
ridge and Douglas Electors, ON motion of Mr..
VIM. Burke, Capt. Abney was called to the
Chair, whereupon Mr.. Michael Hartman moved
the adoption of resolution recommending the
proposition which has been published under the
signature of Jacob Baylor. Esq, to the consider
alton of the Executive Committees of the two
wings of the party. This Immediately pro-
duced such scene of confusion and disorder as
has been of late characteristic of Democratic
meetings. They put each other through the
political catechism, and then the patriarch read
and commented upon the scriptures, reading
portions of Exodus. After indescribable confu-
sion the proposition was put to the few Demo-
Gratis who were present, and was passed. The
Editor of the 'Vindicator" opposed its adoption
violently. Alex. B. Cochran, Esq. said he
would hang himself before he would vote for
Douglas

Discussion on Monday.

On yesterday there was discussion in the
Courthouse between Col. J. W. Massie, of Rock
bridge, and J. N. Liggatt, Esq, of Rockingham,
the Breckinrihge and Douglas electors, respec-
lively, of this District. On the part of the
Breckenridge elector there was very palpable
andaspositson to discuss the issues between the
two wings of the Democracy, as was evidenced
by the fact that he did not advance single ar
gumeut to to show that Breckenridge should be-
preferred to Douglas. The Douglas Elector, on
the contrary, seemed determined to discuss the
living issues which divide the Democracy. He
showed that on the subject Of Squatter Sove-
reignty the difference between Douglas and
Breckenridge, as far as their past records show,
was about the difference between tweedledee and
tWeedledum

ORGANIZE

There are yet some neighborhoods in the coun-
ty where Bell Clubs ought to be, and must be Or
ganized. Oar mass meeting comes off soon, and
every Club is expected to come into Stanton in
its own procession, with its town Marshals and
banners and BELLS" The Clubs should be organ
lied this soeek, in order to make proper arrange
ments. Let the Committee now appointed by
the Central County Committee see to it at once,
that Club be organized at his place without
farther delay it only needs that some one
shall make start: the people are ready.
