WEDNESDAY MORNING Nov’r. 19, 1551.
Liberty Hall was crowded on Monday night
last. One of the largest and most respectable
audiences we ever saw assembled in Alexan
dria, attended, with anxious expectation, to hear
an address from Geo. \V. St mmeks, the V\ h g
candidate for Governor of this State. U e in
tend no unmeaning compliment when we >a>,
that, upon this occasion. Mr. Summers made one
of the most effective and brilliant speeches he
ever delivered—and that his fame as an orator
and a statesman will be enhanced and increased
by this effort. His refutation of the charge of
unsoundness on the question of slavery was tri
umphant, his appeals in behalt of the future
prosperity of the Commonwealth thrillingly el
oquent, and his exposition of the duties of the
office for which he is candidate, and his argu-;
ments in justification of his views of sta'e
policy, clear and cogent. Although he had
spoken at Fairfax Court House on the same
day, for two hours, with great vigor and ability,
he seemed, so far from lessening in tire and an
imation, to gather fresh strength, as it is cer
tain he gained new laurels. He felt like Mc
Gregor, that “his foot was on his native heath,’’
and the recollections and associations of the |
past, inspired him with a zeal and earnestness,!
which were communicated to his hearers, and
seemed to be responded to by every heart.— !
Throughout, he was warmly and heartily cheer-1
ed. For upwards of two hours he held that
large crowd spell bound by* the power of hisj
eloquence. Not a sound broke the stillness of j
the ball, save when the involuntary bursts of
applause thundered a response to the senti
ments of the orator, and told him the impres
sion that “his thoughts that breathed and words
that burned” made upon the people. Not a
man left his place until the last sentence of
this brilliant speech fell upon his ears, and
left him to reflect upon the truths he had beard,
and, we tru>t, to convince him that he ought
on the Sth of December next, to do his duty to
his £Tatp and his country.
After Mr. Summers's speech, Samvel Chil
ton of Fauquier, who was present, was called
for, and addressed the meeting in a short, but
most happy speech. The illustrations of the
speaker were ap|*osite and effective, and his
anecdotes, told in his best style, were receive*!
by the audience with unmixed pleasure, it
was not alone in wit, however, that Mr. Chil
ton indulged. There were pith and marrow in
his views, and his advice showed the solidity
of his mind, and the excellence of his judg
ment.
Mr. Stewart, of Morgan County, was next
called for, and concluded the meeting, with an
animated speech, in which he paid a deserved
tribute of praise to Mr. Summers, and predict
ed the happy consequences that would result
from his election.
A number of ladies graced the meeting with
their presence.
The meeting adjourned with cheer after
c>'eer for Mr. Summers.
Robert Bell, agent for the British periodicals,!
has received Leonard Scott & Co's reprint of the j
last Westminister Review. The theological
tenets of this Review are more objectionable
than some of its political principles. But the
ability of the writers are not questioned. This j
number contains several papers which will be
read with interest—but not all of them with .
approbation.
At a Whig Meeting held at Fairfax Court
House, on Monday, delegates were appointed
to a Whig Convention to nominate a candidate j
for the Senate from the Senatorial district of |
Fairfax and Alexandria, ihe Convention is
to be held in Alexandria on Monday next.
We published yesterdav, a list of the Sena
tors and Representatives of the Thirty-Second
Congress. It will be well for those who do not
keep regular files, to preserve that paper for
future reference.
Geo. VV. Summers did not vote for the Bank
rupt Law, but on the contrary voted to lay that
bill on the table, on the test question.
We have received our regular files of Cali

Illinois, on Banks.
The Democracy of Illinois, it we remeber!
correctly, were among the first to declare their
purpose to get along without the aid of Banks, j
Thev appear to be satisfied with their expert-1
ment. Last winter the Legislature, thoroughly
4iDemocratic,n passed a tree banking law;
which was to be submitted to the people for |
their adoption or rejection. The Governor ve-!
toed the bill; but the Legislature again took itj
up and passed it bv the constitutional majority,
over his veto. The people have lately b*en
passing their judgment upon it. Seventeen
counties have been heard from in the northern
part of the State. Fifteen of them have voted
for it, giving a majority of 10,000, while two
counties have voted against it, giving a majori
ty of only 215. Thus it will be seen that, after
all their experimenting, even the Locofocos:
themselves are finally compelled to abandon!
their own mad schemes, and adopt Whig policy
on the currency question. So it must finally be
in reference to a tariff and internal improve- j
ments. How much more rational it would be,
when the people find they must adopt Whig
measures, that thev should select Whig men to
carry them out.—Zanesville {Ohio) Courier.

A negro man, the property of Mr. Henry
Ashton, died on Sunday last, in consequence of
a severe injury received at Fredericksburg, on
the preceding Thursday. He was driving a
heavily laden wagon into town, and was anx- j
ions to reach the warehouse, the place ol his j
destination, in time to get the precedence of
another wagon which was making for the same
establishment. In the act of jumping from his
horse, his feet became entangled in one of the
traces; he tell, and one or both of the wheels
passed over his breast, probably fracturing his
spine.
The New York City Industrial Congress held
its twenty-third session at the City Hall on
Tuesday evening. A resolution concurring in
the resolutions recently adopt'd at Tammany
Hal!, advocating the abandonment oj our non
intervention policy, and ‘‘taking the position
appertaining to a iree and powerful nation,
was carried, after a long dis* ussion, in which
some thought the subject required grave con
sideration, as it would change the whole policy
of our Government. Others objected^ to so
thorough and radical a change in our Govern
ment, and others still advocated it.
The express freight train, which left Ham
burg on Friday evening for Charleston, when
near Aiken, burst her boiler, causing a tre
mendous explosion. The engineer and the two
firemen were instantly killed, their bodies being •
awfully mutilated. The engine was made a
perfect’wreck, and three of the cars were dam
aged. The explosion damaged the telegraph
posts and wires, and h?« caused a suspension
o?telegraph.c communication between that city
and Augusta.
The excitement among: the Baltimore firemen,
with regard to their grand jub. 'ee and proces

line, all in the finest condition, and the firemen
all in new equipments prepared for the occasion.

U. States and Spain.
Respecting the diplomatic difficulty between
this country and Spam, the Philadelphia Amer- j
ican of Monday has the following editorial:
Our private advices from Washington inform I
us that Mr. Webster addressed a long and able|
communication to Senor Calderon de la Harca, j
on Thursday last, covering a full exposition of I
all the questions and principles involved in our1
relations with Spain, and making suggestions,
which if adopted in the proper spirit—as they
are likely to be—will lead to a happy and im
mediate adjustment of all embarrassments be
tween the two countries. II the accounts with
which the public has been already enlightened
in this matter be, as they doubtless are, well
founded, it cannot be doubted that the distin
guished Secretary of Stale has bravely vindica
ted the rights and honor of his own Govern
ment, while he has treated those of Spain with 1
the proper and considerate regard due to its po
sition and to our relations with it. The United
States could well afford to yield much in this
controversy, without comprising the national
dignity; but there is a very wide difference be
tween voluntary, amicable concession, and ex
acting demand.
There is every reason to believe, as we sta
ted several days ago, that all these difficulties!
, will be soon arrange*!, ami that a lew civil let
ters will be found a more easy and economical
mode of settlement, to both parties, than brim
stone and broadsides. When friendly nations
50 to war about etiquette, it is like two fami
liar acquaintances resorting to “pistols and
coffee,” because one accidentally happened to j
pass the oilier without the usual cordial saluta
tion. War, besides being an expensive enter
tainment, is opposed to the genius and spir.t of
our institutions. We are taught to be a peace- j
able people; and, as a means of being so, to
| fulfil all obligations with foreign nations, and
leave them to manage their own concerns.—
This is an old-fashioned principle, to be sure;
but it is one on which this Government was
started, and by which alone its integrity and
stability can be preserved. Although the tem
per of the times i» progressive, and we are wil
ling to ride on the wave of progress, experience
is still entitled to respect, and the proved wis
dom of the past, to at least a decent reverence.
We are also informed that Prussia joined with
France and England in their representations 10
| this Government in regard to the Cuban matter,
observing of course, the same external lorms of i
decorous communication The only wonder is !
that, as this business was begun, the rest of the j
European Powers did not take a hand in the ■
faree, since it would probably have amounted to !
the same thing in the end. Their non-interfer-;
ence has saved the treasury the cost ol the ink j
and paper which would have been consumed in
multiplying answers, and spared the copying
clerks in the Department of State so much ad
ditional labor, flow Prussia came to put her
finger in the pie is rather mysterious especially j
as her “patch” is rather inferior to that of Aus
tria.
But it is to he presumed, as Mr. Webster was
able to stand under the terrible onslaught of
Prince Schwartzenburg, who addressed him as
Secretary for the‘-Council of New York"—sup
posing that to be the government of the United
Slates—he may hear up against the threatening
wrath of Prussia, especially when she pi ay«
third fiddle to England and France. There is a
maxim in law' which might find a diplomatic
application in the present instance—de minimis
lex non curat.
Seventh Census.
The indefatigable Superintendent of the Cen
sus returns, J. C. (j. Kennedy, esq , continues
to be industriously engaged in the herculean
task of classifying ami making up the statistics
of the nation. The Washington Republic of
yesterday says—
“Some idea of the immense amount of duty
involved in the preparation of the census may
? * inferred from the fact that, although about
one hundred and thirty-five clerks are employ
ed upon the work, it has been found necessary
to employ the greater number of them during
extra hours, at night, in order to lay before
Congress, at an early period in the session, as
much as practicable of the prepared returns,
embracing, in addition to population returns,
and the apportionment of members of Congre.-s
in the several States and other returns of in
terest, statistics of the cotton, woollen, and
iron manufactures.
We further lea. n that it is the intention of
the chief of the Census Bureau to append the
statistics, complete, of Maryland, prefaced with
a brief history of the settlement of the State,
and that of every county in it, embracing their
geographical and agricultural character. All
these will belaid before Congress in a printed
volume.
If Congress approve of the plan suggested
with reference to Maryland, the statistics and
history of every State will be similarly arrang
ed. if we understand the matter, it is intended
as a sample of the great work.
Recently, in looking over the printed vol
umes of the sixth census, we noticed that the
greater part of many of the tables were blank;
but, under the present arrangement, there will
be no waste spaces. Asa consequence, the
bulk of ihe work will be considerably dimin
ished.
^ e presume that no one has, as yet,, accu
rately calculated the number of any particular
ly sized pages the work will occupy; but, from
what can be guessed, three volumes of ihe di
mensions of the American Archives will con
tain the highly interesting and (fiiuute results
of the seventh census.**

The Christiana Rioters.
The grand jury of the United States district
court, at Philadelphia, on Friday, returned true
hills agairst Jacob Townsend, one of the
Christiana prisoners, charging him with ob
structing the officers of the United States in ar
resting fugitive slaves, and aiding fugitives to
escape. There are seven counts in each in
Jictment or bill. A true bill was also returned
igainst him for treason, and also again>t (»eo.
^dliams and forty others, charging them with
tne ^me offence, treason, growing out of the
same ‘nnsaclions. A true bill was also re
turned ^Castner Hanaway, Elijah Lewis,
and o^l’h *-arlet, for treason. The jury, in
re!a,r,!!n*, f!e9fc.;odictmeiits, accompany them
with the followingrema(ks : 1
“Although the gra.a jury jjave no hesi
ation in perfoiming thd.iu^y im})0spd 0n them

these serious accusations foi.rja| yet thev can
not hut profoundly regret the i.Jjs^itv which
has led to it. " }
“At a period like the present, in the fnstory
of the Republic, when, under the nrrjd in.
tluence of a National Constitution, }»redica0j
on the principle of recognising, respecting, ant.
vindicating the rights and institutions of every
member of the Conlederacy, our country has
gone oil increasing in great prosperity and hap
piness, it is painful to the heart of the patriot
that such an outrage upon the dignity of the
nation and its laws, should have been perpetra
ted as that which has led to the indictments
found by us.
•*It is to he feared that the immediate actors
in this drama of blood have, if not directly
simulated, been encouraged by those from
whose social and public position, and intellec
tual culture, better things might have been ex
pected.
“From such sources we should expert to he
taught that obedience to me laws ot me l mted
States, enacted by the constitutional authori
ties, was the first of obligations imposed on an
American citizen; and that any other resistance
to them than the constitutional resistance bv a
change of law gives, was among the political
heresies most to be repudiated by an American
patriot.
“It is, however, to he ardently hoped that the
bloody tragedy of Christiana may have a
wholesome and abiding influence on our future
national career; that it may impart moderation
; to political zealots, impress a lasting lesson oi
the necessity of obedience to the public laws
while they remain unrepealed on the statute
book, and manifest that there is but one true
remedy for grievances, real or supposed, under
which the nation may suffer—the remedy pre
scribed by the Constitution.”
Indians iu Washington.
An aboriginal diplomatic interview took place
on Monday morning at the White House, be
tween the Wild Indians from the Plains and
the President of the !J. S. There are represen
tatives from five tribes; Oita was, lowas, Arcap
ahoes, Cayennes, &c. They, appeared at the
President's House with their interpreters, at 2
o’clock; and, after gazing in wonder at the
splendid mirrors and chandelier® of the East
Room, they were conducted to the Circular or
Blue Room, and there each was introduced by j
name to their Great Father, who they shook !
cordially oy the hand. The President was j
attended by Secretary Stuart and Com mis- i
sioner Lea. of Indian Affairs. Mr. Lea ad
dressed the President on behalf ot the Indians;
and the President responded in what we thought
to he very appropriate terms
The red children manifested pleasure at the
interpretation of their Great Father’s speech
and declined to give us any specimens ot their
wild oratory till another occasion. They will
remain here several weeks; and then, under
the direction of the government, make a visit
to the most important cities of the Tnion, be
fore returning to their homes in the Far West. !
These are the wildest Indians that leave ever !
visited Washington, and have travelled furth
er to see their (ireat Father, whom they must
have been surprised to ,«*ee such a plain look- 1

Hi ot of Soldiers at St. Louis.
A soldier named James Gunn, having lost his
life at St. Louis under circumstances justifv ing
a suspicion that he had met with loul play at a
house ol ill-fame in that city, some twenty-five
or thirty of the soldiers at Jeffetson Bairacks
sallied out of garrison after evening retreat, and
went to St. Louis and attacked ihe obnoxious
i house with great violence, breaking and de
j straying every thing in their way, and beating
some of the inmates. The police attacked the
rioters, and were at first repulsed, hut after
wards, following them on their way back to the
garrison, succeeded in arresting a number ot
them at the barracks. The local reporter of the
ISt. Louis Republican says:
“So soon as lie had heard the statement of
the officers from St. Louis, Major Sander
son, commanding officer at the barracks, order
ed the heating of the reveille, and calling of the
check-roll. This was between three and four
o'clock in the morning. It is believed that sev
eral of the notefs had gotten into quarleis be
fore the men cdVild gather to answer to their
| names. As it ivas, the absentees were check
ed, and later in the day, as they arrived, were j
placed under arrest. Major Sanderson after- '
ward, on learning ’he full particulars of the
riot, together with the proceeding at the Arse- j
j nal Park-house, delivered the offenders over to
f the city authorities. They were conveyed to
j the city and lodged in the calaboose.”
Archbishop of Baltimore.
The solemn and impressive ceremony of in
vesting Archbishop Ken rick, who succeeds
the lamented Eccleston, with the Pa!hum, took
place at the Cathedral yesterday morning. The
church was filled to oyeiflowing, and many
were unable to gam admittance. The Right
Reverend Ooctor Timon, Bishop of Buffalo,
wa* the celebrant, and the Very Reverend Mr.
Soilriii. of Philadelphia, preached an eloquent
sermon on the occasion. The Pallium is sim
ply a small garment or venture placed on the j
neck of the Archbishop, extending over the j
hack and breast It is constructed ot lamb’s |
wool, white and black, with crosses insetted
of the black, both being natural color. To
preserve the material for this sacred vesture,
lambs are kept at Rome for the special purpose;
the wool is taken from them, blessed, and sent
to tho*e for whom intended, with special care.
The Pallium is always buried with the Arch-f
bishop who wears it. Tffe one with which
the Archbishop was invested yesterday was
brought to this country by a lady, into whose
hands it was placed by the Pope himself, i he

A Panther Loose.
A large panther, which escaped some days
ago from a menagerie at Hackensack, is prowl
ing about the woods near Hull’s Ferry, in all
the Gignity of his savage nature, greatly to the
alaun and discomfort of the tarmers. A few
nights since, a man was passing along the road
in the neighborhood of his haunt, when he
came suddenly upon the animal, which was
sauntering along by the side of the bush. The
man was smoking a cigar when he first saw
the beast's eyes glaring annul the darkness.—
The panther, which, by the way, he took tor a
wildcat, made no demonstration further Than
to walk round the man at a rpspectful distance,
although each circle he approached closer;
perhaps he was anxious to scrutinize the mid
night intruder into his lair more closely.—
Whatever were his intentions, the man did not
meet his advances in a friendly spirit, hut each
time that he approached too close, he presented
the lighted end of his cigar to him, upon which
he jerked back, and this action was continued
until the benighted traveller reached his home

The New Orleans Delta states that the prop
erty of the late Joseph Fowler, jr., of that city,
according to the inventory just made, is valued
at $l,4S0,S0l 27, with very few liabilities. He
had, however, never paid taxes on more than
about one half of his property. His real estate
alone is valued at $32$,900; good bills receire
able at $b04,6S2; hank and other stocks at $7Q,
$60; and good hook accounts at $24,340. The
commission to each of his executors, at 2$ per
cent., amounts to $32,503 40. Mo-t of the heirs
reside in the District of Columbia, and have
already enrne in possession of a considerable
share of these effects.
The Irish Relief Bill.
Mr. Summers asked the second time on Sat- j
urday night last of Col. Bocock, why did Col.
Johnson tote in 1647 against the Irish relief j
bill? Col. B. promptly replied that Col. John
son could not do so, for the simple reason that
it was unconstitutional. However much he I
may have sympathised with the suffering poor j
of Ireland, Col. Johnson had taken an oath to j
support the Federal Constitution—in that in- i
sliu.nent he could find no authority lor such an
appropriation—he could not therefore vote for
it without committing perjury.—Lynchburg Re-;
'publican.
Unhappily for Mr. Bocoek’s excuse for Col.
Johnson, there is an authority against it, which,
without disparagement to either, is rather higher,
especially in Democratic consideration than
theirs. We refer to no le*s a man than John C.
Calhoun, the great paragon of strict construc
tion. Mr. Bocock may imagine th.:t Col Johnson
did not vote for the Irish relief bill, because he
thought it unconstitutional; but Mr. Calhoun j
had no scruples at all on that score. Has the
worthy candidate for the Attorney Generalship,
made such a stride in stepping from the chival- ,
ry platform upon that of the universal consoli- :
Democracy, that he has come to regard
Josepi. lohnson as a better constitutional law
yerthanji'^n C. Calhoun?
| Mr. Calhoun * opinion isduly recorded in the
. Congressional Globe, ami from that great treas
ur of unpleasant reminiscences, u»g collate the
following abstract:
j Feb. 27, J 847. The bill for the relief of Ire
: land beug taken up,
i “Air. C&lhoun made some remarks hut in so
1 low a tone’vhat he was very indistinctly heard
j1,1 lhe gallery. He was, however, understood
•10 that he was as happy as any gentleman
on that floor to co-operate in measures of relief
for the suffering people of Ireland, but he wish
ed very much that ‘hey had more time at their
1 disposal to give it more consideration. It was
; not so much the amount they should con-i
| tribute—for the British Government was amply j
competent to take care of own people—as I
i the feeling they would exhibit towards ihe peo
ple of Ireland. If however, they '..ad none, they i
! might extend its operation, for it .vas not the !
people of England, Ireland, and ScoiWnd alone !
that were suffering. France, too, was in «differ- j
ing condition. He hauseen a letter from a hvjhly >
respectable source which stated that Fiar.ce I
would be without food belore »he harvest time, j
j The people of Kuiope generally were suffering
j inoieor less. He suggested that a national vessel
should be sent to Great Britain and to France,
to carry the bounty of this country, and hr iras
understood to say that no constitutional dijjicul
! ties interposed to prevent it."
! Later in the debate—
Mr Calhoun, in reference to some remarks j
made by the Senator from Indiana, (Mr Han- j
negan) explained why he had no constitutional \
objection in this case. He drew a distinction i
between the foreign and domestic policy of this
Government. Entertaining these views, he
had voted for the appropriation for the relief of
the people of Caraccas in lsl2. He, however,
suggested that this appropriation was a heavy
one to make, when the country was in a state
of war and subject to the demands upon our
treasury which resulted from warlike opeia
tions. "He, however, would gladly vote
FOR THE BILL.’’
Mr. Mason, of Virginia, was much more
scrupulous than hisgieat preceptor, and “could
not hut see on it a perversion of the trust repo
sed in them under the Constitution of the Uni
ted States.” He offered a substitute tor the
bill, authorizing the Piesident to employ such
part of the naval force as could he used for
the purpose, to transport the contributions that
might be offered by the people of the United
States.
The substitute was rejected, yeas 17, nays
24—Mr. Calhoun voting against if; and then
the bill itself (which appropriated $.000,000)
was ordered to be engrossed, veas 27, navs 13
— Mr. Calhoun voting in the affirmative.—

The Orange and Alex. Railroad, j
We intended to state in our la*t, what it gave
us great pleasure to learn, that the receipts on
thir. railroad already laigely exceed its working
expenses. That the road should so soon be a
.source of profit, is a most encouraging fact, and
one which reflects a high compi ment on its j
managers.
\\ e learn that the laying of the rails is stead
ily progressing, and will probably he completed
to Broad Run by the first of December. The
j transportation over the Orange Road of mate
; rials for the Mananas Gap Road, commenced
j on the 6th instant, and we doubt not, that that
j road is also energetically pushing its way on
, ward. Success to them both. The farmers
! along both routes stand ready to welcome the
j highly mettled and dashing steam horse whose
muscles aie unwearied, and whose speed un
i retarded by the heavy car* which follow in his
i train.
The accommodations furnished to travellers
by the railroad will demand, and we hope, jus
; lily, a daily stage between Culpeper C. H. and
! Warren ton. There is already daily communi
cation between Warrenton and the Railroad.—
I By the way. we are very sorrv, and much sur
prised, that the Postmaster General refused to
| take advantage of the opportunity to accommo
l date this community with a daily instead of a
I tri-weekly mail. l\’e understand this addition
al postal acc: mmodation could have been ob
taingj by us of the worthy mail contractor, for
j a very moderate compensation. Wt* hope the
Post-office department will reconsider the mat
ter and decide in accordance with the petition
sent down on the subject —IVarrent n Flag.
Rights of Juries.
In the tiial in the United States Circuit Court,
at Boston, of the Shadrach rescue case, the
counsel for the defendant stated to the jury that
the case being a criminal one, ihe jury were j
rightfully the judge? ol the law, as well as:
the fact; and if any of them conscientiously be
lieved the act of lS.r>0, commonly called the j
‘•fugitive slave act,:> to he unconstitutional,
they were hound by their oaths to disregard
any direction to the contrary which the Court
might give them. The Court stopped the
Counsel; told him he should not argue this
proposition to the Jury: that the Court were
willing to hear him, and. if they agreed with
him, they would so instruct the jury. The
Counsel addressed the Court in support of bis
opinion, but the Court decided that the jury
were only judges of tiie law in a limited sense; 1
thev were judges of the application of the law *
\o the facts, but in reality they had no more 1
right to decide against the opinion of the Court j
on a question of law, than to return a verdict j
against the evidence. If every jury is the right- !
ful and final judge of the existence, construction, j
and effect of every law which may be material j
in the trial of air :riminal case, we should have
Courts innumerable, having final jurisdiction !
over the same causes arising under trie same
laws, and possessing complete authority to de
termine that an act passed by the legislative
! department, with all the forms of legislation, is
I inoperative and invalid. The practical conse
quences of such a state of things are too seri
ous to he lightly encountered.
American Wine,
Cincinnati, Nov. 9, ISM.—The quantity of
wine manufactured in this vicinity surprises
me. I have just returned from a visit to one
of N. Long worth’s wine cellais, where I saw
75.000 bottles of sparkling Catawba, and about
*10,000 gallons of wine in casks, varying fiorn
i 10 to 5,000 gallons in each. This cellar is 1*20
feet long, 40 feet wide, and 10 feet deep;
and it is the intention of the owner to in
crease it to double this size during the corn
i mg spring. Besides Mr. Longworth. there
i are many other persons in C incinnati and
I the neighborhood engaged m the cultivation of
the grape, and it is supposed that not less than
| one thousand acres are devoted to this purpose.
• The Catawba grape is, 1 believe, much pre
' ferred to any other variety for wine, and in
variably ripens better than the Isabella in this
climate. In New Jersey and the East general
ly it in just the reverse, the Isabella ripening
better, and being a more desirable fruit in all
respects than the Catawba.

Letter from the Hon. Richard Rush.
In answer to an invitation to take part in a
Democratic mas* meeting at East Smithfield,
Fa., a short time previous to the late election in
that State, the Hon. Richard Rush wrote a re
ply, of which the following is an extract.—
It is of historical interest, besides expressing
the views of a distinguished statesman un one
of the topics now prominent before the coun
2>uydenham, (near Philadelphia,)
September 23, 1801.
The little I desire to say, will be on the Fugi
tive Slave law.
Since the formation of the Constitutionn of
the United Slates there has never been, as far
as I at present remember, any insui<ection of
any nature whatever to overturn or resist by
violence the laws parsed in pursuance of it, in
any one State of the whole Union, except this;
and we have had three.
First we had the “western insurrection.” as
it was emphatically called, in 1794. It was a
very formidable one. It pervaded nearly all
the western counties of our State. General
Washington, then at the head of the Govern
ment, did all that he could at first, or that mor
tal wisdom could, to suppress it by conciliatory j
means; but finally it had to be put down by j
military force. Fifteen thousand men were j
called Into the field, made up hv requisit e j
from the militia of Virginia, Maryland, and
New Jersey, es well as this State This great
force overawed further resistance to the laws
Criminal prosecutions ami convictions for trea
son followed. The President pardo1 ed the
convicts.
The second insurrection was in 1729, chiefly
in Northampton county. On that occasion all
attempts to execute civil process tor forcible
resistance to certain laws of the United States
proving abortive, the rmiitia and volunteers
from the neighboring counties were called upon
to march to the scene of disorder. Through
their instrumentality, in co-operation with the
judicial power, submission to the laws was rc
*lored. Criminal prosecutions followed, as in
the lormer case, against those who resisted
them by violence, and convictions were tiad for
treason. But here, also, the pardoning power
of the president—1 he elder Adams—was inter
posed, and the scaffold not erected.
The third occa. on on which we arrayed our
selves against the authority of the Union was
in the Oimsted case. That strife brought us
towards the brink of civil war. and at one
moment not very far from it. When the mar
shall tiist attempted to execute the process of
iHe Courts of the United States, in that case,
he was rented at <e poi».» of the nayonet.—
Tins was in Philadelphia. Kim My, the pro
cess was executed, not openly, bin by secret
skill or some humane stratagem, and the sell
ing of Mood happily avoided Here again legal
convictions for tho offences took place, but
punishment was remitted by President Mad
ison.
1 do but recall facts. I intend no comments
on them. History has written them down, and
we cannot obliterate them. A Pennss Ivanian
myself, I desire to cherish a just pride in my
native State. I am gratefully sensible to hav
ing had the honor of sharing in her counsels
and confidence heretcMie, and am proud of the
long and high merits in her history to com.ter
baiance the occurrences I recall. But just in
proportion as I ardently cling to such feelings,
do I desire to give expression at this juncture
to an inten anxiety that she may be found
to acquit herself well in all respects in exe
cuting the Fugitive Slave Law'. She ought
not again to swerve from tier lealtv to the Un
ion when professing that feeling: but avoid ev
ery appearance of it. She ought to rally around
the Fugitive Slave iaw#an the spirit evinced at
the va»t Union meeting in Philadelphia in No
vember last, when whole thousands of our
Whig friends, though political opponents, en
thusiastically cheered, with the devotion of pa
ir ots, ami a wisdom above all patty, the reso
lution for its lull and hearty execution—not in
its words only, but in its great import and
tiauscendant national objects.
1 am compelled, however, for one, to say—in
deed truth and frankness might well force it
upon most ot us to say—that our present atti
tude in regard to that paramount law’ is very
extraordinary. It is worse t..au that of any
one of itK States composing this wide Confede
racy. That law is more vital to the preserva- |
tion of the Federal Constitution than any of
the laws of Congress, or ail of them put togeth
er, the opposition to which produced the insur
i li.j is my sincere
j belief. Vet already have we seen it re^i^ted,
j ami resisted to bioO'l.in this State— noi only
once, but tuice. There is no other State in
which it ha« been resisted to extremities so de
plorah’*. Is rot this enough to startle I'enn
s\ Ivamans—to make them look around—to ask
themselves how it has come about, and, above
! all, what is the remedy! Relore we give
j way to any excess of State pride, as thinking
i ourselves a main prop of the Union, we
I ought to think of the posture we are now
I thiown into in presence of our sister States.—
j First came the murder of Von rig Kennedy, of
! Maryland, at Carlisle; next the brutal killing
and maudlin* of Mr. (jorsuch. another citizen
of Maryland, his son, and others who accorn
j pained him across our line to aid him in obtain
ing Ins rights, also falling, as supposed at first,
under mortal wounds ami gashes. AH this
happening in one of the oldest and most popul
ous counties of the State, amidst frantic yells
and howling*, characteristic of savages!—
Alas for our good old Commonwealth, if no
stop is put to such deeds. Instead of being
the Keystone, we shall become the destroying
(>ower of this mighty and glorious. Union. It
i« remarkable that in neither of the insurrec
tions abr.ve mentioned, with the Olmsted case
added to them, was there as much njood shed
| as already there has L^en in Pennsylvania by
forcible resistance to the Fugitive Slave law.—
| Our annals in 1 >31 will thus take prioiity in
! blood-gui!tne>s in opposing the statutes of the
l Union.
A Submarine boat.
The New Vork Tribune gives the following
account of a new boat, built toi submarine op
erations:
“This novel affair is built of strong boiler
iron, and is 10 feet in diameter, and 30 feet in
length, while on the outside are fixed a num
ber of shelves which v\ork on hinges, and upon (
these, ba la>t is placed to lower the boat to the
bottom of the sea. The inside is divided into1
two compartments, and the latter {art of the I
boat is filled with water to keep it down when
sunk. U is also fitted with a propeller, which
is worked by hand, and used to move it
gently along the bed of the ocean, as pay be j
required during the operations of a survey.— j
According to the best cal<*uiut:o», the boat |
will remain under w«»ie» for seven hours, j
without any supply of air more than what it re
ceives before descending, and this is purified j
and repurified by pas-ing through valves !
and cell* containing chemical reparations for j
thdi purpose. While the boat is under water
telegraphic commumcat on u Kepi up witn
a vessel stationed on the surface, ar.d when
it is necessary to ascend, the ballast is thrown
i from the shelves outside the boat, and if ne
cessary the wafer in pumped out of the after
compartment, and il rise** at the rate of thirty feet
in seven seconds. The machine is intended
to he used in the pearl fisheries and will
tip shipped to Panama in a short time._
ft is intended, if arrangements car made
to give it a trial before leaving New Y ork, as
it i- the first of the kind which has been built,
to employ it in sinking a submarine telegraphic
line between Brooklyn and New York.”

Whig Meeting in Warrenten.
At a meeting of the Whigs of the tow'nnf
YVarrenton, held on Monday evening N0v ir
18r>l, on motion of Wm. F. Phillips, jr., John
Smith was called to the chair and E. Al' ^jer
chant appointed secretary.
James V. Brooke, esq, after explaining
the object of the meeting, proposed the follow,
ing resolutions which were unanimously ad0p.
ted.
1st. Resolved, That in George W. Summers
the Whigs of Virginia have a leader of whom’
they should be and are proud, a leader ever;
way worthy to conduct them to the great
victory, which, with proper exertions, they mav
achieve on the second Monday in December
next.
I 2nd. Resolved, That the charge of abohtionurn
| brought against Mr. Summers hy some of bis
| (mlitical opponents, is an unfounded calumny,
believed in by some no doubt honestly, but re
sorted to hy more as the only means of tar
nishing his brilliant name and checking the
progress of his spreading popularity. To
show the justice of this assertion it is only ne
cessary to state that Mr. Summers is a large
slave-holder himself, Jives in the most slave
holding county of Western Virginia, voted for
that clause in the Constitution ot Virginia
which prohibits emancipation, and within the
ust few weeks has written as follows: “I AM
AS FIXED IN MY OPPOSITION TO ALL
ANT) EVERY SCHEME, STATE OR FED
£RA* CAI.CUI.ATED TO EFFECT THE
PROPERTY. AS ANY
MAN N 1 HE COMMOMWEALTH.”
3mj. That with such a leader at
their head the Whigs of -Virginia can have no
excuse for supineness but should be zealous,
i active ana uirjring in their efforts to secure the
election oi the Whig ticket.
On motion a Thomas M. Monroe, the fol
lowing resolution were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, I hat it j* expedient at once to

man and James V. Brooke be and sy-tereby
appointed a committee to draft by-law ftr the
government of this association and port tbe
same to the next meeting.

Resolvedf, 1 hat we will cordially siort Ben
jamin H. Shackleford. Robert E. Scand Jno.
Marshall, as Whig candidates to resent us
in the Senate and House of Delega of Vir
ginia, and will hv all fair means eravor to

i be appointed a committee on heh.o: the
! Whigs of Fauquier, to invite Georg’. Sum
mers, Samuel Watts and Sydney Baxter,
