UxoPvo Lamentations.
Unwilling to utterly destroy their credit with the
people hy charging Vbolitioiiism upon Mr. Fillmore,
the Democratic press nevertheless, with the Rich
mond A’wynirer at their head, are beginning to in
dulge in their usual insinuations and inuendoe.
against the American ticket. This course of cun
duct will surprise no one familiar with the wretched
instincts, habits and tactics—and who is not?—of
the so called Southern Democracy. The surprise ot
all would have been excited, however, if they had
manifested the slightest purpose to do justice to
their political opponents in this particular. But Mr.
Fillmore and his associate, as respects their tested
and well-known devotion to the constitutional right
of each and every section of the country, are above
and beyond the reach of any assault which may, in
a spirit of factious partisauism, be made upon them
by the presses and orators of the Democratic par tv
at the South. We repeat that the man who had tli
firmness and patriotism to affix his signature to the
Fugitive Slave I«aw—a law so violently opposed to
the prejudices of a large proportion of the people of
his own section, and who thus gave the highest po—
silde eridence of his determination to sacrifice him
self in order to fultils his duty to the constitution
and the South ;—such a man, we >av, so hold an 1
true in the discharge of a grave and unpleasant pub
lic duty, stands in need of no defence from the vile
and unworthy insinuation of tuisoundue*s on the
slavery question. The acts of his administration—
an a Imiiiistralion which Gov. Wise proclaimed to l.c
“ Watkinyton like” sufficiently refute an asset tiou
so utterly stupi.l and groundless. And we now t<-tl
these Democratic fuglemen, that buy attempt to dis
parage and injure Mr. Fillmore by representing him
a* even iu the slightest degree tainted with unsound
ness on the questions at issue between the North an<l
the South will only recoil upon their own miscellauc
ous, hybrid, hypocritical party.
With its usual felicity in selecting captious for iu
pointless criticisms upon the American party, tin
Enquirer of yesterday contains a dull, leaden, linn
boring article headed thus—“ Southern Know No
things succumbing to Abolition'"—And this tjaiuinf
heading appears to have been considered prou
enough of the charge which is made iu it—as tin
article which follows contains nothing additional.—
Leaving out of view the fact that Mr Filhuon
. signed the Fugitive Slave law, and enforced its e*
edition in good faith, and that, of course. In
will never yield his assent to a hill t •
its repeal; and omitting entirely to mention the Iu
ther fact that the very convention which nominate,
him voted down overwhelmingly a proposition t.
restore the Missouri Compromise, the Enquirer pro
ceeds to argue gravely that the American parly o
the Union “tndoree fully and unequicocally th
Abolition qjiiuciqd ." Nor is even the Southern
wing of the party excepted by the Enquirer Iron
this sweeping, wholesale, unfounded accusation
The Southern supporters of Mr. Fillmore, equally
with his N irthern supporters, are thus charged Iu
the central organ of Virginia Locofoco juiituism will
"succumbing to Aholitiou"—with "endorsing fully
and unequiv.ically the Abolition principle.” Am
this charge, too, is made by a paper winch roc.-nth
devoted its columns to the dcfeti.-e or excuse of tin
Abolition Soft Shell Democracy of New Fork, win
have for their leaders Martin and John Van Huren
A paper which declared, iu the presence of the wind
Southern people, that these Soli Shell Free Soil gen
tleuien, whose separate organization is based upot
the one principle of anti-slavery extension, had heel
More sinned against than sinning! A paper, too
which has not yet uttered a solitary word in disap
proval of the votes of thirteen members of its own
party iu the Virginia House of Delegates, a weel
ago, against a bill to provide tor the protection o
the slave property of the Stale !—a hill voted again*
by those itnin >rtal thirteen Virginia Duiuocrats upoi
the same identical ground upon which the executin'
of the Fugitive Slave Law is oppose 1 by the mad
cap .yiililionists of the North ! That is, upon tin
ground, as openly and shamelessly avowed by so n.
of these patriotic "thirteen" in debate, that the non
slaveholders of Virginia should not be taxed for th.
bcuetit of the slave->,ener» ! In other words. Ilia
the fillv reward 0 lie re-1 in the bill for the dctc-tioi
and conviction of Abolition kidnappers should i> >
he paid out of the State Treasury, for the ruasoi
that a |«>rtion of this assessment would fall upon tin
nou-slavehtlding constituents of those "thirteen" fa
ntous Demurrttlie members of the Virginia Legisla
tore! An argument we hesitate not to charaeteri/.i
and to denounce as a miserable and despicable Abo
lition argument; and which, wo iimlerstan 1, w i
haractcrixo 1 and denounced a- such, at the time
both by <J .v, Floyd and Mr. F, Ini Un is, who are aU

slavery question. And this declaration w« t ike b
be the literal truth, as the name of his colleague, up
on the hill referrel t >, .stands conspicuous in th.
"Black f.ist of T lirteen." Aul yet the Enquirer
while railing at Wnig* and Americans, and chargin.
thou with ‘‘siii-cuinhing to Aholition,” has no Wor<
of con I'iiinatiou f.r those thirteen recreant men

theiusolves -who, in short, have successfully emula
ted the real of Abolition fanatics, in deprecating tin
imposition of any burden upon the nun slaveholder
of the .State for the protection of slave properly
In conclusion, we suggest to the Enquirer, hefiir
it renews its assaults upon Fillmore and Donelsm
or before it even cbidim the Abolition fanaticism (
Seward, orfires-ley, or Fred Douglas, to turn its *1

* From the hurt letter ol Governor Wise, which we pub
| lishrd on yesterday, we extract the following "Sprightly,
iuterewting, and soul-stirring paragraph
In the nett presidential canvass there will be new issue*
presented by three parties, tile white mail's party—the
democratic; tbe black man's party—tbe black republi
can*. the mulatto parly—the cross of northern and south

rieans— wool, Hat nose, odor, ebon, skin and giarard, foot
and all—belter than they can bear that cross of the Oau
cassiau and CufTey which you call a—mulatto!
llerv is the writteu language of a man, who, we were
1 told last spring,would make a genteel and respectable gov.
ernor, if nothing more. la other words, that if the people
elected him, they would have a yenf/emnn at the head ol
our State Government—an event, as was thru contaudcu
by many Democrats, whieli had not hippened for many
, long years. And this oonsider*tioii,we are frank to admit,
did exert no inconsiderable iutiuence over a tew of the
| Democratic voters ol Virginia; and we make the admission
in justice to those few, with exceeding pleasure. Hut
we are equally trunk to say. tliat many ol those few have
latterly found out their mistake. They have found out
that their new Governor is in his natural element only
when personating the character of a blackguard. And wc
may here state tliat we have never known any thing, since
1 our connection with politics, to be received by the public
j of all parties with more intense loathing and disgust, than
l tbe letter ot Henry A. Wise upon which we are common
1 ting. We have heard some of the best Democrat* in
Virginia declare, vehemently and indignantly, that it was a
disgrace to its author and a shame to tho whole
State. We have yet to hear of a solitary man of any [.ar
ty undertaking to defend it. Such disgusting blackguard
ism is utterly indefensible, como troiu what quarter soever
it may—but to be indulged in bv the Chief Executive
officer ol the State is reprehensible beyoml the power ol
words to describe. It was had enough, while engaged
in a heated canvass, for our dirt-loving Governor to de
nounce nearh one half of the people of Virgiuia, as
“lousv. Godless sud Christies*." But to proclaim, from
the Executive mansion, ill a dead political calm, amt when
incited by uo provocation, that nearly oue half of tho
.sovereign voters ol the State are "mulatto**," and belong
' to a "mulatto parlu," is not only a mean and outrageous
insult in itself, but is enough to corcr tile foul slauderei
with an infamy, limitless and taUio'ulosa forever. A man
| who could calmly apply such villainous opithet* to one
half ol the people of Virginia is already worse and more
to lie despised than the most graceless scamp of a negro
in tbe State, and deserves not the respect of a dog. if
wo us ■ strong language, it is because of the offensive and
' disgusting character of the language employed by the in
dividual, who haa provoked it. If a Governor of a great
Commonwealth may lie pertnitb-d to abuse and blackguard
one half ol its citizens, and that without provocatiuu or
excuse, editors of newspapers, who hare provocation
I and have excuse, may, we submit, be allowed to give him
as g'Kid as he sands.

For the HTij,
Thought* (a Finance, furreuejr, aud Public Credit.
The report or the committee of Anance, and the late
message of the Governor on kindred subject*, taken in
connexion with the resolution to extend the aesaion iff the
legislature, for the purpose of considering them, tuust ar
rest the eerioul atteuliou ot every reflecting citixeu of
Virginia.
I propose to offer,ill this communication, a few practical
suggestions on the important subject* so tully discussed in
'heee papers, in the course of which I shall touch upon
our Hnaticial difficulties—their causes—the remedies pro
posed—their effect oil tha interest* ol the State as a body
politic and upon all clameeot tb* people, whether engag
ed in commerce, manufactures, or Agriculture, and lastly, ;
•hall suggest the onlv remedy that can aA'ord a prospect
of relict.
In entering upon this investigation, 1 beg it to be un
derstood, that I am iiiAuenced by no persouai, sectional or
political considerations. 1 ardently desire to see all the
great works of Virginia prosecuted to completion, and this 1
I believe may be done in time, without destroying her 1
credit and bringing distress and ruin on her people.
1st. Our financial dilficillics The committee of the !
House ot Delegates lias presented a clear, comprehensive 1
and candid statement of our finances. From this we learn, I
without entering into detail*, that the Stale is indebted iii I
round number*, in a sum not less than thirty millions ot
dollars—that there will be a deficiency ol means to meet
accruing liabilities lor interest, Ac., without further appro
priations lor internal improvements, on tlie Such ot Sept,
next, of one million six hundred and fitly thousand dollars,
and a further deficiency at the doae of the next fiscal year
ol eight huudred aud ten thousand doll us—that taxes can
not be levied ill time U. meet there liabilities, and that the 1
sale ol State bonds is no longer possible, and cannot be
relied on as a resource for suppljriug the Trwasurv. We ;
are thus brought to a pause in our career, and, before ‘
considering a remedy, it may tie well to understand the 1
cause of this startling condition of our affairs.
The Governor i* right in supjuwing that the public cre
dit is not impaired. The criterion ot public credit is this : 1
if the State can borrow on as favorable terms as indivi- j
duals who offer undoubted security, her credit is intact._
fan the best private paper, however secured, be uow sold
in any maiket abovu the current rate of Statu bonds 7—
This is the test.
Hut with all due deference to the Governor, it is not fur
the want of a Centre ot trade, or because tile value ot the
dollar has changed, that we experience these difficulties.
So tar Irom this, the dollar is worth less by filly per Cent
in exchange lor all commodities, than it was a fear years
ago. Nor is it owing to any stringency of the money
market; that may be in part an effect ot our difficulties,
but not the cause. Money performs so necessary a func
tion in all trausactiotis, that we are apt to lie deceived as
to its real importance as an element of public wealth. It
is a» a drop in the ocean compared with the wealth of
mankind. Tlie drought of last summer inflicted a heavier
loss on this country than the Value of all tin- precious me
taU within it. Tlie Secretary of the Treasury, in his last
annual report, estimates the whole amount of specie in
circulation, and iu the bank* ol the L'nited State*, at two
hundred and titty millions ot dollars. This sum, though
far greater than was ever In the country bclore,
is entirely insignificant as an element of vu!uc in estima
ting the wealth of tlie country. It would amount to less
than ten dollars lor each white inhabitant, and it Virginia
had her lull share, it would not par a third of her debt.—
The cause id our difficulties lies much deeper. It is a capi
tal to be in veiled, uot money as a more medium of ex
chance that we want. fsnital 1* usilallv divided l.v .....
liUo.il economists into tiled and circulating. Fixed
capital being in houses, improved land*, mill*, uiauulaclo
ties, machinery, Ac. Circulating capital consisting ot va
rious commodities and values employed by tbe iudusti ion*
classes in carrying on tbe business o! commerce, manufac
tures, and agriculture, to which may be added the capital
employed in banking the proper office of which is to fa
cilitate the business of thc*e classes.
Capital of the second class, though not strictly speaking
fixed, cannot, without Jnticuliy a d the general derange
ment of I ru si ness, be di Verted Irom its proper objects, and
therefore cannot tie relied upon by those seeking loan* lor
investment. To tln-ae two divisions gl capital may. for
clearness of illustration, be added a third, a Inch may l>c
denotllinated free capital, and may be defined “the sur
plus gains of ail industry and wealth, alter paying expen
ses and supporting the population ot the country, and
which seeks investment as ll is accumulated." Apply tile
touchstone of analysis. Of what does the weal:h ul Vir
ginia consist ? Ol houses, lands, mills, and other real
estate, ot the merchants and manufacturer's stocks in trade
and of the s!ve*, cattle, horses and oi ler capital • luploy
ediu agriculture, ami of the banking capital ol the Suite al
ready appropriated bv the business classes. Where is the
free capital seeking investment? Where are the rich men?
Examine them, in what does their wealth consist? It
consist* in the articles ju»t enumerated and in Stock* at'
the State, tvhicli though evidence of their wealth, are cer
tificate* id the Stale's poverty—and so far as public Wealth
and new investments are concerned a negative quantiti.
The truth is the State lias already appropriated, on works
now unproductive, however valuable m prospect, noto.lv
all the /ret capital ol the people ul tile Common wealth, and
:!l that her credit could draw from abroad, but by her
competition in tha losn market, has encroached largely
on means that ought to have been left Ui the indu-ltimis
classes to enable them successfully to conduct their busi
ness—not only has the State invested thus largely in un
productive works, but indit iduals and corporations have
| 'reel! ei.ually liberal in investing, auJ there are now in the
j market, Stale, corporation, and county bond* sufficient to
absorb alt the Iree capita* i<fyl.e Common Wealth for rears
to come. Nor is the condition of things niuen heifer in the
other States, and we uuyln vain look for relief to any
■piarter in this country. Independently of these there
are other causes more or less operative.
Business of all kinds is productive, profits are high.espe
ciallv in Agriculture, and the natural tendency is to in
vest the suiplus prohis or “free capital" in new enterprises
mi l bother improvements. A fanner who has a surplus
o| Msi at the end of the year, will scarcely invest it in
ti per cent stock even at a discount, when he knows by
lending it n> his laud he can realise in or loo per cent—
Asa general rule it may l«e alGnncd when profits arc high
stocks are low—Another cause opeialh.g against the va
lue ol stock* redeemable at a distant day. Is the progressive I
depreciation of the currency owing to the great influx of
the precious metals The value paid to the public creditor
at the end of twenty years may not he lutlf what he advitu- |
vances to-day, through he receive the same weight of mt
tal. An opposite principle was in operation bcloro flip
discovery of the mines ol t'uliturnWaiid Au-traiia Owing
to the disiutbailees in Spanish America arising oftt of tin
revolution the mines were neglr. ted or ahamlomd, and
it was estimated by Mi I’lillock that the supply ol the (ire
cions metals in the world fell short of the consumption in
the arts by I per cent in twenty years, so that the value ,
of lb" metal* was constantly rising, and the more distant |
the day of pa/muuf, the more valuable a public security I
became. Prudent men in making investment are begin
ning to take this principle into calculation.
Europe in this resp. it, is now in a worse condition than |
our country. There is no “free capital’’ for investment |
there. The aggiegate public debt of the European na-'
tions, according to an article in the forthcoming edition of
the Encyclopedia Urittanica, exceeds the sum of eighteen
