Wo will state the rase ng-iin, ill order that our readers mav have a clear understanding of what we have to say. A certain l)r. lluffner, of Washington College, delivered an address in the year IS 17, on the development of the re sources of Western Virginia. In the progress of his speech he i-, charged with linking use of the following language (wo have not seen the pamphlet OUi-elve.-^ to nil: "Hot all the West, on due consideration, con clude that slavery is a pernicious institution, and must he gradually removed," page ?>. "Whilst wo of Western Virginia steer our coursc iu the Mifo middle way, and seek to re mnvo the jilnj'ir i>r' n-rry from our limits without increasing the charge of ultra abolition ism on the one hand, <ir of ultra pro s^fi-ri/isot ?or wiialever it means, on the othet," page 'J.

Prvor, as the inan of all ;aen in the State for thai "office A!! !" a sudden, however, this pamphlet tunsupand simultane ously Mr. Lclchrr turns down in the estimation of the Richmond orthodox organs. Either he must explain satisfactorily or he must recant, or he must go by the hoard and that righ t soon. The organs are now waiting until Mr. Letcher can recover breath and wiito out a dcfenco. Such, we would have our readers to know, is the case as it stands against a propo-ed nominee for Governor ol this State, iu the year 1S0S.? Wo must row ask our rcadets to turn back with us and consider some little about past and pres ent orthodoxy. In other words, i> \fr. I.etcher to be proscribed as a heretic for sentiments which other men have *riiten in past times, whose lives and principles are now held and quoted as orthodox? Or, in plain and less ele gant terms, are we to make flesh of Monroe and Marsha', et al, and make tish of Ylohn I.etcher? Principles never change, say these latter day Organs of Orthodoxy, and so say ut'ner people. A principle that is sound to-day is sound to morrow, and forever. If so, let us see how the ^ record stands. Ssid James Monroe, in th# Con vention of Virginia, in 1S29: "We hare found that this evil (slavery) has preye-J upon the very vitals of the Union! and bus been prejudicial to all the States in which it has existed." Said William Wirt: ?"Slavery is contrary to the laws of nature and of nations. That slavery is an evil it would be more i an idle for any human being to doubt or deny." Said John Randolph: "Sir, I neither envy the head nor the heart of -> tuan from the North, who rises here to defend slavery upon principle." When slavery was abolished in the British Colonies, by act of I'a-liament, Chiei Justice ilarsl al. said, be? Now saw hope of his beloved Virginia which 1 have seen sinking lower and lower among the States. The cause is that work ii disreputable in a country where a degraded class is held to enforced labor. Said Got. James Barbour, in a speech in the United States Senate, in 1S20: W" e are asked why Virginia changed her poli cy in reference to slavery. The sentiments of our most distinguished men for thirty years en tirely corresponded with thr course which the frier.vls of the testiiction in Missouri advocated. The Virginia delegation, one of whom w?s the iate President of the United States, voted for the 1 estrictin en the So-th Western Territory and Mr. Je'iV-on has delineated a gloomy pic ture cf the baneful effects of slavery. Wt have only thus made a tew extracts from tne rtiN tvis to show what orthodoxy was once, and what it iaoow on this subject, for an expres sion upon which Mr. Letnher stands arraigned before the world by the would be arbiters of public sentiment in this Commonwealth. Besides the , opinions quoted above, we havo at our elbow the opinions of Washington, Jefferson, Benja min Hush?fathers of the Republic. Wo want to ask, now, in view of these things, why it is that Hon. John Letcher's opinions on this same : subject are made tho turning point of his polit ical fortunes? Why it is that a citizen of Vir ginia in this, our day, must be proscribed and put down for affirming what the chief men?the great men of Virginia, in times past, have said? Because, forsooth, John Letcher expresses his belief in ? quiet way, that Western Vir ginia would bo better off without than with ns sroes, he is not fit for a Governor. The fact that he has acquired the title in this age of cor rupt politicians, of "Honest John Letcher" ? the fact that ho has been a faithful representa tive to a Virginia district will not, cannot over come the fact that ho has dared to express an opinion which bis reputed party leaders in times past expressed. And who are they who take it upon them selves to thus arraign Mr. Letcher? Are they tho men who build up a State?encourage its labor ?extend its commerco?push forward the col umn of civilization by elevating and ennobling labor? Xo, they are not. But on tho con ! tritry, Ihev are men w ho declare that the "evils [ of free society are insufferable," (we quote from the Richmond Enquirer,) men who say that "policy and humanity alike foi'iid the cxten , sion of free society to new people and coining j generations;" men who, like tho Sou'hsitle (Va ) I Democrat, declnro that tho "worst of all abom inations is the modern system of free schools." These are the men who arrogate to themselves the privilege of making and unmaking govern ors at will for you, fellow citizens. "These be thy gods. Oh! Israel," in this year lS5d. "Chose ye this day whom ye will serve." ? THE RADICALS * IN COUNCIL FREE LOVERS?SMHlTCALIsTS?TRANCE MEDIUMS ? j ABOLITIONISTS?AND ALL SORTS OF QL'EER PEO PLE, ic., &c. I We noticed, the other day, that the odds and ends, rag, tag .and tail of all sorts of isms had congregated at Rutland, Vermont, to take into consideration the genera! state of ail the agita ; tions of the day. We find in the last X. V. I Daily Times, a graphic report of what was said and done by the fanatics. We learn that the platform brought forward for the consideration ! of the convention was as follows: .individuality. 1. Rttoheth That the authority of each indi vidual soul is absolute and final, in deciding all questions as to what is true or false in principle, and risht or wrong in practice. Therfore, tiie individual, the Church, or tho State, that at tempts to control the opinions of the practice . of any man or woniar, liv authority of power outside of his or her own soul, is guilty of i flagrant wrong. SLAVERY. 2. /??->/rfif. That Slavery is a wrong which no power in the Universe can make right; there fore, any law, constitution, court or government, any church, priesthood, creed or Bible, any Christ or any God that by silence or otherwise authorizes man to enslave man, merits the scorn and contempt of mankind. spiritualism. S, /it-Wrr', That the phenomena of what is called HMxlern Spiritualism have abundantly de monstrared tho fact that an intelligent inter course between embodied and disembodied hu man spiiits is both possible and actual. That the conviction of tho possibility and actuality of spirit intercourse is opposed to all despotism, impurity and sensualism, and conduces to ihe inauguration of the only authority consistent with the human soul, asfavorablo to sound M or ality. WAR AND DEATH PtytSIURST. 4 Resalrert, That it is always wrong and in expedient Tor man to take the lite of man; there fore capital punishment, war, and all prepara tions for war, are wrong and inconsistent with the interests of individuals and society. M VKRIAOE. 5. That Ihe only true and natural marriage is su exclusive conjugal love between one man and one woman; the only true home is tho isolated home based on this exclusive love. maternity. t>. Kr&rlciJ, That the sacred and iin;*rts.it right of woman is her right to decide for hers, li how often, and under what circumstances, she shall assume the responsibility and b? ??ibiected to the sufferings and cares ..f n.atc :ty; and man can commit no greater crime a. lost wo man as wife and mother, a^ain.-t > ?- chi d, against society, aou against humanii- . than to impose on her a maternity whose res: L-ihilitr and sufferings she is not willing to cpt and , endure. woman's mains. T. n herejs, Ttie assumed superiority of "nan over woman has held her in submission and en tailed slavery and dependence on the sex, and ; consequently, misery on the race; therefore, Uen iceJ, that immediate steps should 1 e taken to remove that error and its consequence, and place woman politically, industrially, edu ? catiouallv and socially Oil perfect equality with man. THE BIBLE. S. Kaoirt>r, That nothing is truc?or right, anil nothing is false or wiong, because it is sanctioned or condemned by the Bible; therefore ihe Bible is powerless to prove any doctrine to be true, or any practice to be right, and it should never be quoted for that purpose. FREE TRADE. 9. ?etelc&i. That natural justice, individual and social morality, the peace and material wealth and prosperity of the nations, the spirit of human brotherhood, demand that ail inter j national tariffs He immediately and forever abolished, and th.it Governments ju all their various depattineuts be supported by direct taxation. land ketosx. 10. That the earth, like the air and flight, belongs in common io the children of men ou it; each human being is alike indepen dent; each chiltl, hy virtue of his existence, ha9 an equal and i.i.-.iienable- right to sc. much of the earth's surface as is convenient by proper culturetu hts support u>.d pejf.ct development, and not e has a light to any mere; therefore all laws authorizing and sustaining private proper ly in land, lor the purpose of speculation, and which prevent men and women frvun jo^p^sing any land without js?y ii.j: for it, are as unjust as would be taws compelling them to par for air and light, and ought to be at one? forever re pealed. iqesabbatu. H"*creo.?, The Jewish Sabbath i? confessedly iholisbed by the Gospel W-jven^atioc: ip.u Whereat, The sntne authority sets apart no ' other day to l>c similarly observed, therefore, 11. lif?oire.il. That all efforts of church and ! priests to enforce our ohservunce of the Chris tian Sabbath, ns of Divine appointment, is a flagrant violation of individual right, and must be prosecuted in a dishonest disregard of the spirit and positive teachings of the New Testa ment. SUNDAY DOCTUISKS. Whtreat, A social being depends on hl9 fellow men for the cultivation and develop ment of his physical, uiental and moral power; and. Whereat, Owing to the limitation and vicissi tudes of life, he enn accomplish but little for his own or future generations; therefore, 12. Retolced, That tho duties of man belong to man, and the time, talent and means spent on, or for anv other purpose, is detrimental to human progress and a robbery to the race. 18. J?e*olr<d, That tho moral law is tho ma terial growth of a healthy condition of social life, and that a study of the nature of man, and the relations he sustains to his fellow-men, can alone giro him tho knowledge of the laws and govern him rightly. 14. I'etohea, That no system or creed can be useful that does not tend to the removal of ignorance, poverty, vice and suffering, and pro mote freedom, intelligence and happiness. ? The character of man is formed for him, by the combined powers of organization previous to birth, and influence after birth, therefore, IB. Retolttd, That it is the highest duty of society to investigate and remove the causes which have a tendency to form inferior or vi cious character. ]t>. Hetolred, That tho time and devotion spent in religious services can confer no benefit on an Intlnileand Indepentent Power, and can, therefore, be no virtue. This platform was laid on the table for con sidciation. In tho report of tho 2d day's proceedings we notico s speech of Mrs. Julia, the noted leader of the Free Lovers. She is thus described by the reporter of the Time*: The lady is petite, and on the sunny Ride of thirty. Heavy masses of curling brown hair fall down her face; her air is pleasing and taking.? She is an individual of literary tendencies; writes for some of the Sunday paper?in New York; is a poetess; and is very well known.? Her speech to day had the merit of being a re markable bold and frauk composition of her peculiar views. We noticed that in tht course of a long speech this lady said heeps of queer things. Among others she endeavored to show how WOMAN JIITST STRIKE THE CLOW. Woim.n must strike the blow if she would be free and become the equal of man. You speak of her l ight to labor?her right to teach?her right to vote, and lastly though not least, her right to get married; but do you say unything about her right to iote ichcn the will, ichere the tcill and hoicshe icill! Yes, here is a stipulation for her in thts resolu ? lion. "She is to have an i olated household with an exclusive conjugal love." This is very pretty in sentiment and Moore beautifully expressed it in his "Fife Worshipers:" "Ofl in r-.T fancy wand* riopfr I*v?r viiiml i?.At little Ule ha I wring*. And ?t within its fairr b^wr-r* Werr wafud off to ?ca* unfcncwii, Whrretiot a ttc> II K-atbut ??ur?.

The working class are by far the larger class, and the isolated house hold is the worst place in the world for them. The man comes home to his me^Js which are set on the table amid crying children and the -ickly despairing face of his wife?there is no social life. Kven the exclusive conjugal lore that bound them together in the marriage cere mony has long since settled into the mildest form of friendship. The enthusiasm and ardor, and poetry, and sacredm-ss are forever destroy j ed by constant familiarity in the isolated house j hold. Just -is woman is isolated and confined within ? the limits of a home, just so will her offspring : he narrow-minded, bigoted and seltish; just as she is free in her thoughts, her affections, mak ! ing her home whatever she chooser, just so will I her children be broad aud expansive in their j ideas, noble, and great and honorable in virtuous j deeds, benevolent in heart and tolerant in all j things, however opposite to them, because they I feel within that they have not only the perfec i tions but the imperfections of humanity.

If she desires nihis, it is hccau.se she needs them. WOHiS SHOfLD MAKE t!EK OWN CHOICE. I believe i.i the ahsolule freedom of the affec tions, and that it is woman's privilege, ave, her right, to accept "r refuse any love tlait comes to ] hei. ihoni a tV the rttli?g ftoieer iu ait mat ter* ty lare, when her love las died out for the man who has taken her to h:.< heart, sac is liv ing a lie to herself, her cw:- naiore. and to him. if she continue to hold au\ intimate relation with him. And so is roan's relative position to woman. \\ hen his love has died out, and he continues to live with his wife, on any consideration he strikes a blow to i?Se taoralityof his nature, and lives a life of deception, nn or.ly to lier and v_>-: citir, but he is icspoaslbte for all the crimes that Ills children, borne under these circam stances, are liable to commit. A gentleman said to me, a little time ogo, "My wile is a woman's rights woman. She talks of her rights, and I alloiv it, but she really has none. I am her husband, she is my pro perty, and it' I do not like a thing I say so; and I do not consider she has any right to dispute it. I do not hold any argument,* for I consider my will law. And it' I loved a woman, and was not bound In her by the marriage ceremony, I should not think of disputing her will or wishes, for fear she would show me the door, and 1 should have no alternative but to go out of it. Her will is absolute, for I have no claim upon her, und she is justified in all she does, so it is necessary to guard myself and movements in order to retain the love and respect of the woman I love." What a pleasing prospect is this for the wife, who is rearing her children in her isolated household, and imagining the hus band immaculate in thought as well as action, and respecting her in the sacred office of wife and mother. what ts Uakkiaoe? Why should woman tame hersolf into ca'in submission, and be the slave and toy ond play thing of man? What is marriage? Is it the linking together of two loving hearts in holy, sacred union? No! this in seldom the case when compared to the many thousands upon thous ands of marriages of convenience. Women are bought and paid for, as the negro slave is. She is estimated as a thing of barter, lor a man counts the cost of his intended wife as deliber ately t?i if he thought of keeping a cow, a dog, or a pig. Now, what are the rights and privileges of woman in the marriage institution? It gives us the privilege to become Jlr*. Brown in'tea d of MUm Smith. That is an him or, no doubt, and it relieves woman from the stigma of obi maid. It gives ns the privilege of being supported mid attending to domestic duties?the privilege to see that the dinner is served nl the proper hour for a hungry hus band?the privilege, oftentimes, to sit up half the night to let the husband in from n delight ful concert and oyster supper that he has en joyed with Mr. Jones and his beautiful wife. Then we have a right; and listen women of the Nineteenth century! The marriage insti tution gives you one right; one right that you have not. perhaps, hitherto valued?it (tins you the right to bear children. It is not a privilege; it is not an inheritance .hat your nature craves. But it is the law of wise men, who know very much better than you do'when you icant a child, and icheu you ought to bccotnc a mother. Now, I say again, that resolution (referring to the one reported by the Committee) is in compichensive. Love is not dependent on reu son, or judgment, or education, or mental ac quirements, or society, or control of any kind. It is an inspiration of the soul. It is a holy, sacrcd emanation from the most vital part of our natures, and to say when or wherer it shall be limited or restricted is a violation of our indi vidual rights. [ may have taken[an extreme side of the ques tion, but only offer my views a-> my own, and wish that the resolution may be put in a more delinite form, stating what conjugal love is, and to how few, or how many, an isolated household may be limited to. I will read a resolution that I think would bear more directly on the marriage question: Itrsohed, That the slavery and degradation of worniti proceeds from the institution of inairi age; that by the marriage contract she loses the control of her name, her person, her propertv, her labor, and her aflfect'ous, her children and he fieedom. lC?rr?**pGnt!cnec of the lott-Higeoctr.J Nebrask a Citv, Nebraska, I June 18th. 1358. j Editor* IntcUigenecr:?Nothing has trans pired since iny iast, of much interest.

Mr. Majors has purchased 7-0 acres of land -t mites from Nebraska City, and is now making a line farm of ienclosing it by a fine board fence, breaking the turf and building tasty farm buildings. The squatters of this land district aie on the "qui vive" with regard to the land siies which is advertised to take place on the 6th Sept. proximo. The actual settlers arc in favor of postponing the sales indefinitely, in order that they may have more time to pre pa e the need ful amount to sccure their land. Many of them are (>??*<r. and if the lands arc brought into mar ket in September, they will loose their iand with all their haid earning.- for two or three years, in the shape of improvements. A pe tition has been extensively circulated* and signed in favor of postponement, but how it will result remains to be seen. It is to be hoped that it may be put off for at least two years, ii> order to gire the honest squatters an opportu nity to recover themselves and pre-empt their j quarter section, which is all in all to many of i them.
