ave always born, among those who know them,
chv 4lrl5 honor and selt-sacri6cing principle.
With deadly insults to resent, with outraged
feelings to rcvsnge, with plunderers to punish,
with glaring fraud to defeat, and with right
on their side, and having the authority to &C..
comrsh all these ends by lawful proceedings,
and the force to execute them, if force were
u cessary,they yet, actusted by motives Of strict
Integrity, supplemented by desire to preserve
the peace and secure the prosperity and hap
lluess of their common country, firmly resolved
to abide the decision of the unjust tribunal to
which they had agreed to refer their case, even
though they feared that decision would be the
means Of annihistiDg the party to which they
belonged. Their course merits the admiration
OF the world, and is receiving it. The London
Tunes of yesterday praises the democratic lead
ers for their moderation, and thinks their con.
duct will secure the entire sympathy of the
hw-abiding American people, who are well
able to appreciate moderation and respect for
constitutional restraints.

public opinion will longer support the main

by the use of the military, and that he must
concur 10 this manifest feeling. The troop:
will hereafter, as 10 the past, protect life and
property from mob violence when the State
authorities tail, but uuder the remaining days
OF his official life they will not be used to es.

Weldon, charged with attempting to assassl-
nate Governor Packard, has been released on
$4,000 bail. The barbados at the State House
have been strengthened, and fifteen days ra-
tons taken 10. The Presidents dispatch to
Governor Packard in regard to the use OF
troops gives satisfaction to the conservatives.
The city is quiet.
Gov. Nichols has issued proclamation con-
graduating the people on the order of Presi.
dent Grant, and cOunseng them to maintain
the public peace and refrain from all violence,
and to accord all citizens their rights. He con
cludcs as follows -

voted against the resolution of Mr.. Kuott for
the production of the Vermont certificate. it is
only Justice to Gen. Hunton to say that he did
nothing of the sort, but on the contrary was
very much in favor of the resolution, had so
stated to many, and was only prevented from
voting on account OF sickness and his utter in

was taken. MI. Tucker made this announce

was called, and the Record so shows.

"The friends of Col. Mosby, Of Virginia, are
pushing his claims with great energy tor a

of the Coouers peculiar fitness for the office
to which his friends are pressing him. This

course, so far as we know, may have brought
down upon him the wrath Of every uurecon-

three or four of that class in the country, and
they are so because Congress has refused to re-
move their disabilities; but that the entire
