The 4th.

The ever memorable anniversary of our Ma
tional Independence was not forgotten by the peo-
pie of Stanton. The dawn of the day was an
nounced by thirty-two guns from detachment
of the Stanton Artillery, and at o'clock the
three military companies, viz: the Artillery,
under the command of Lieut.. Hartman, the
Guards, Capt. Baylor, and the Junior Blues
Capt. Lilley, entered upon parade, making a
very handsome display. Places OF business gen.
orally were closed during the forenoon. In
these days of disunion sentiments it is gratifying
to witness continued reverence for the day
that gave birth to our great nation. 1t has of
ten been asked, to which section would the glo-
rious 4th of July belong, in the event OF dsso
ution2 We trust it may never become prac-
tical question.

What the Douglas Men Say


We take the following extracts from the
speeches of gentlemen who spoke for Douglas at
a meetieg in Philadelphia on the evening of the
aOth ult.
Mr.. E. L. Marshall, of California, said:
"Yancey was the leader of the seceders, and
did not support Mr.. Buchanan, and has not sup
ported Democratic candidate for twelve years.
He is a disunionist at heart, and though he OBJ
tanned seat in the Convention by pledging T.
Mon sentiments, he was not sincere
Mr.. Herran, of Louisiana, said:
"Shall we again trust the Government in the
hands of those who have not been able to keep
peace for the last four years2 He was Louisi-
anian, and if popular sovereignty" contained
any sentiments dangerous to the Institutions of
that State he would be the first to combat it;
but he considered it the very safeguard of the
South. He was not willing to commit the in
terests of the South to Caleb Cushing"
Mr.. Forsyth, Of Alabama, saidi
"The people of the South had not been heard,
only the politicians. Yancey does not represent
Alabama. The people there don't trust him,
but consider him natural born conspirator,
who would rebel against Heaven. He strenu-
ously opposed any compromise with the B.eck-
applause -such as is proposed by
them, other than admitting them to the stool of
repentance. Compromise is not for traitors. 1t
would demoralize the party"

Poems by Rev. T. Hampstead.

We have upon our table volume of Poems,
by Rev. I. Hampstead, formerly of New York,
now pastor of Bensalem Church, near Lexington,
Va. We have read most of the poems in this
volume, and have no hesitation in recommend
ing it to our readers. Those who have read
the lines on the "Valley of Virginia" and the
"Vision of the Plow," published in the "Specta-
tor" will feel anxious to read other poems by
the same author. There are some portions OF
these poems which equal in poetic fancy and inn
aginative power any poems belonging to the lit
eratnre of America.

The Proner Sacrifice.

The Esprit of Jefferson, a Democratic paper
published in Charlestown, Jefferson county, Va,
says, that the Democracy of the Southern States
may be called to make greater sacrifices, than
they now dream of. The duty of patriotism
may require at their hands the support of some
other National man, than either of the gentle.
men suggested at the late Baltimore Convention
The greater sacrifice spoken of we suppose
to mean the sacrifice of party prejudice, that
they may vote as their patriotism may require"
for that 'sNational man" John Bell, of Tennessee
Such is the sacrifice which the ''duty of patriot
ism" now demands on the part of all good ma.
tional, Union and peace-loving Democrats.

Reception of the Governor.

In anticipation of the arrival of Gov. Letcher
and Genl. Richardson, the fine military compa-
MES OF this place, assembled at the Depot, on
Thursday evening last, for the purpose of wei
coming them with formal military reception.
As the cars were "behind time" an hour or
more, they had to wait with a feeling of impa-
tient anxiety, for that length of time.
Before their arrival, SO great was the interest
manifested, that there were assembled, besides
the military, several hundred civilians.
Gov. Letcher was escorted by Major General
Harper, and Gen. Richardson by Gen. Hartman,
by whom they were introduced to the Officers OF
the Companies The Companies then marched
to the "Va. Hotel" where they called loudly for
Gov. Letcher, who responded to their call with
a short and appropriate speech.
Joseph Mayo, the Mayor of the City of Rich
mond, being present was then called. He was
introduced by Gen. Hartman, and responded to
the call in speech eulogistic of the Governor
and the State of which he is Chief Magistrate,
and of the City of which he is himself CHIEF
Magistrate.
| uGGn0I Chll6u lOI VI uCl VIC uO uOG kuOW-
zoe heard no calls-but Col. Raymond, of Fair
mount, then attempted speech, and if he salts
fed any one, we suppose it was himself.
In response to calls, Major Gen. Harper ther
addressed the soldiers in a short, spirited ant
appropriate speech.
AS we were then called away we quote thu
''Vindicator's'' report of the subsequent proceed
Iings of the night:
sBy arrangement then, the Artillery, with
large number of citizens, and the Guards, will
the Governor and citizens, proceeded respect
lively to the residences of Lieut.. T. L. Harmal
and Capt W. S. 81. Baylor, where were prepar
ed q thousand refreshments of the most substan
tial as we'll as delicate character. Sentimen
and mirth reigned until late, or rather an earl!
hour, when the gatherings at either place, b.
piece meal dispersed, everybody pleased AM
delighted with the entire proceedings"

Narrow Escape.

The train of cars which arrived here on Sun
day last, when short distance this side OF han
over @. H., came very near running over negro
man lying with his head near the track. dc
was so near that the outer edge Of the pilot
struck his head and cut it considerably. dc
was not dangerously hurt though he would Ger.
tainly have been killed if his head had been
few inches nearer the rail. On the same day
there were as many as four persons seen lying
near the track at different places on the road
one, a white man, was lying near the road nearly
opposite the Hospital in this place.

Bell and Everett Ticket i'm Alabama.

The prospects OF the Constitutional party are
sbright and Frightening" Even from the State
of Alabama, the home of VIM. L. Yancey, the
dssumsom leader Of the Breckenridge and Lane
ticket, we have tie most cheering intelligence.
The ''Selma Reporter" in its issue of June Goth,
in speaking of the State Convention of the I'm
ion party, says:
1--WE have the pleasure and pride to say that
it is ga GRAND SUCCESS" unequalled by anything
of the sort ever before attempted in Alabama.
The delegation is large, intelligent and enthusi-
astic. and the demonstration has caused Demo
Gratis to open their eyes-not so wide, however,

ing to work in earnest, and our friends in 9TH

JEFF. DAVIS OPINION OF PLATFORMS MANY
of our Democratic friends acknowledge the abili
ty and patriotism of the nominees of the Con-
ttitutional Union Convention, but say they can.
not vote for them because they have no plat.
form of principles. For the benefit of such we
publish the following extract from the recent
speech of Jefferson Davis, the man whom they
all delight to honor:
'The fact is I have q declining respect for
platforms. aoould sooner have an honest man
ON any sort Of a ricEety platform you could con-
struct, than to hGue a man that could not trus
on the best platform that could be made" -

speeches OF Democrats at Charlottesville.

We see by the report given in the last num-
Der Of the Review" Of the speeches made at
Charlottesville by Messrs. Roger A. Pryor,
Shelton F. Leake, VIM. E. Gordon and Patrick
Henry Aylett, on the night of the 4th, that they
have no hope of the success of either ticket OF
the Democracy, and "spoke in the highest terms
of the old Wing party and its leaders" The
"Review" says:
1.-THE general tenor of the speeches of the
night was the utter futility of relying on the
Democratic party, as a party, any longer; that
it was divided on sectional grounds, and unable
to defeat Lincoln. Such is the verdict passed
upon it by high Democratic authority. On the
other hand it could not but be remarked how
strongly three out of the four expressed their
confidence in the purity and patriotism of the
Union party. Such tributes are daily being paid
by the Democratic press, and by Democratic Or
ators, and yet they will not forsake their rup.
tured, helpless, effete organization, and en-
deavor to save the Union by rallying around the
only national party that is before the country"

ssThe Epidemic of the 10th Century"

We have been presented with pamphlet
bearing the title above, written by Rev. 3. Boy
den, of Hopedale, Albemarle county, Va. It is
the object of the author to prove that the hold
ing of slaves in bondage is not sin, but is in
perfect accordance with Christianity as estab-
lished by the Scriptures. The facts he adduces
from the sacred record are sufficient to convince
any unprecedented mind of the correctness of the
position he assumes. He administers very
good dose, but we suppose that the phrenzied
philanthropists OF the North are beyond recovery,
and that the ssAfrican fever" malady will con-
tinue to af1ict them.

"How it (the split of the Democracy hap

it about, are trying to conceal from the people.
The thing was too disreputable even for reckless

Gus that an effort is made to conceal the means
and agencies, by which the great National Dem
