The Know Nothings in Virginia?A
Sweeping Bevolution.
Tuk Know Nothing candidate* for the suffrages
of the poonj^ of Virginia are rory
frank in the procuration of tbcir principles.
The latest ci^obefore us is. that of Mr.
Littlebury N. Llgon, tfio now American party
cimuiuuto for Congress in one of the central
districts of the State.. fn his circular
letter to the people of the district, published
iu tho Lynchburg Virginian, he says that
his antecedents have been democratic, but
that he considers tho existing differences be
tween iuq |\vooiu parties.ot me country of
very little Recount, the linos of demarcation
between them bavin# become almost invisible.
A new question,however, lias been rais
cd, which he considers of absorbing and vital
importance?the question of Curbing the
growth of the foreign elements which of late
years, hars exercised such n mai ked and
powerful influence iy our political elections.
Speaking of the necessity of a check upon
the prc*ent tremendous .increase of tho foreign
vote uuder the facilities of our existing
s naturalization laws, Mr. Ligon says:?ftThis
rt<?. the extent ot
sog^BpOQ,OO^aynuili.y roach our stupes hasten
to the nowJStatc^peopIc them^nd then,
exclude slavery front lbeir borders by State
constitutions." 4p
T^Tbis is'the Southern view of the pfibjoct,
?nd the key taFtho spread of Know Nofhingnm
in Virginia ;y,ml throughout tho South.
They say tluit tlufc mass of our Kitropuanbon?
?iti;'.ons nr? anti-slavery in Sentiment?
'J'that l^ley settle-Ill tfflliVeo-States because of
their prejudices against the peculiar institution
of the South?that they constitute a
.very material pRr-tiop <>f .".11 tjio anti-slavery
partios and factions c f the North, and that
ibev arc anuaallv s-.vnUinor t'm ntiil-cf.
ranlts, particularly in. the new States and
Territories>of the'N&r 1 Invest with alarming
ami, aaatinually increasing accessions.?
Hon c^kniQng, the moat ultra slaycholding
coinrnuniti^of the Southern States, wc find
the Kuow Wothisr* ri.-.iug into lh<> ascendancy
upon thj) ruins of both the old national j
parlies that have lived out their <la'y ; lionet-1
tho rcmarkahlo progress c>f the Know Noth
ingsln Virginia, upoa the all important is- j
auo to them of self-preservation. Their bal-j
auco of power may be secured by arresting'
the growth of tlfc popular vote of the North !
over tlyit of tiiQ fc$ynth ; and this, they think.!
may be' done by a string ait modilieutii ji or j
total repeal of liie naturalization laws, Thi-j
modification or repeal being tho cornor |
stono of the Know Nothing platform, is the
very tiling, then-lore, which is carrying this '
now American Movement spontnheously for-;
wonljin alf tho Southern States ngainst^all i
the expedients of resistance, and over all soils |
,J of obstruct ioiiii.
Suppose, for-oxavnplo, the term of natu-'
rnlizatior* \^cro extended at tho next session j
t>f Congress" to twenty-one years, what would 1
"**" Xe tlie result? It wotild probably cut off
one hundred ihonsand of our European rcinforcemouts,
who, ttndor the present general
law nnd existing local usugges in tlie Xo: them
States, woiild vole upon *tho Pre.idental
issue in 1 S3l>, and for the members of Congress
to bo elected with the new administration.
While the accumulation of "foreign
era" in the-North, therefore, from the pressure
upon the native woiking chiascs upon
Protestant ideas u:jd outside politicians, has
v rallied together the natives to the ranks oU
the Know Nothings in the one section, the
single but vital consideration of checking the
present alarming increase of tin Northern
anti-slavery vote is <j?ito sufficient to lead
the Know Nothings to victory in every
quarter of the oth midsections of the Union.
Wo have no doubt that ibis is the secret
which lies at the bottom of the mysterious
nqd extraordinary growth of Know N'othiiigisjn
in Old Virginia and the South.?
Prom all present appearances, too, the new
party coalilitiou in that Slate will overthrow
Mr. Wise and the Pierce democracy with a
prodigious majority; and if Virginia, the
citadel of the democracy in the South, he
thus carried, the -rest of the Southern States,
in the order of their elections, may bo tea/
xonably expected to fall into lino without
much resistance. Willi the South thus revolutionized,
the Know Nothings will be able
to commend the Prosldental election upon a
Union and constitutional platform, throwing
such seditious and disorganizing branches
of the new party as that in Massachusetts
entirely out of the calculation. In this light
everything hinges upon the Virginia elec^
tion, and the result there will be the most
e important, perhaps i:i iU consequences of!
,miy-Suta-election in the political history. of
the country for the Inst fifty years.
l*t the conservative Know Nothing of the
North prepare for a fu .ion with their brethren
of the South upon some common national
platfonrt. 1 tetter dispense with their
present anti-slavery a filiations in tins quarter,
than enter the I'residentnl-campaign ditfidod
into two or three sectional factions.?
The democracy, shufflitig oft' the incubus of
this administration, may yet take the field as
a homogeneous and powerful national party.
I^et not that be forgotten. Tho defeat of
Mr. WUe and'tbo ohl rdtten democracy by
a large majority in Virginia, will not only
be n great and powerful revolution in that
State, the like of which has not happened
'here fur fifty years ffW, hut it will be the
forerunner of a Know Nothing revolution in
tlie South?a .Know Nothing revolution in i
tho whole Lnitm, and pcrchanco a Know
Nothing rovulutiun also in Knglaiul?and
over all Europe.?New York Metal J.

"NUMBER ONE." [
A year ago to-day wo sent abroad tho
first number of our paper. It was witli
mingled feelings of fiar and prido that we
. suffered it to ien\u the threshold of its home,
yet it aped its course as if upon tho wing* of
a light- pkrtned bird, and fouud a gentle '
welcome in the bosoms. of many friends.?
It is a source of pleasure and consolation to
us, who, after having carefully watched its r
course and progress for tho pa->t year, and
seen its successful return to celebrate its naj
tal day, to be enabled one??iore to send it
i forth as tho harbinger of peace and content- ,
n
I mont.
I *
We are willing that tlie efforts we hnvc c,
i made during the past year should ho given b
I for the hopes wo have in tho one that is be- |,
I fore us. Like him. who. in the olden time
| sent forth the dove, which, returning from ;t
! its journey, wearied and desiring rest?was ft,
| sent again'?for the deep seas, and its flight sj
brought back the palm?the olive branch, w
to tell the approach of a brighter future.? J,
May we not trust that such will bo the sue- w
I cO?s of our little messenger. Should it be p,
spared to complete its second journey, we ?u
may confidently say the "storm lias ceased'' t0
and a fair and beautiful vista invites its i1;
onward course. ui
A number of our first subscribers have j,
genoroudy extended us a second year's ac- w
qunintnnce. In connection with this it is H1
very encouraging to record the fact, that we vi
have not lost a single subscriber in conse- f0
quenoc of the independent tone of our paper, sc
or ibo manner in which it is conducted.? bi
That we have difi'erod (by permission) with u<
a number <?f our patrons in many things, T
must be acknowledged, but whilst we have tl
acted towards our readers courteously and oi
frankly, tlioy have responded with a liberali- n:

THE ADELPHIAN ANNIVERSARY. P!
On Tuesday Inst the Adolphian Society of
I'urtnan University, joined by the members ^
of the Philosophian Society, and its honarory
members, celebrated its fifth anniversary. m
The pleasing and imposing ceremonies of the u'
occasion were performed at the Baptist church, c'
which had been tastefully decorated for the ,u
occasion. A heautiful arch composed of cv- ai
orgreens expanded over the speaker, upon
which was inscribed with letters wrought in "
ll jwors, the name of "Adklpiiian," and the ''
pillars and columns in front were elegant lv do. itJ
O J ""
covated with spring's fairest and choicest flowers.
The scene was every way calculated to
inspire the proudest and noblest feelings, and
worthy of eliciting the highest and most tVi
praiseworthy sentiments. ' fc
Mr. John G. Williams, a member of the ei
Adclphihn, delivered the oration, and well 01
did the young.orator discharge the task hu te
had assumed. We uevcr listened with more
ploasuro and interest to tho effort of a young
gentleman than wo did to that of Mr. Wil- 01
liams. It was frco from all those airy ^
tlights and imaginings, which too frequently ai
characterise tho attempt's of many young ci
speakers, which, whilst the effect is abortive, in
leave tho listener in suspense, aud compels w
Trim W flrrlliU w,-ry baric "to the beautiful
and inviting roality which ho has been compelled
reluctantly to leave. Tho stylo of delivery
wo thought well adapted to the subject
under consideration. "The Elements of i
True Manliness," was tho theme chosen, and st
was welt supported. To attempt a complete
reviow of it would be out of our power, and '
as we would fail in doing it ample justice r<
wo wiil merely enumerate tho points of the
subject, each of which "in their order1' weroj

dwelt upon in a strain both truthful and con-'

c said, which consists of prido and a haughy

?ut, true inderandenco was that qualiy,
which, as itrTtaves our mind open to coniction

Idress, we noticed a correct and trite allu- .

as to speak out boldly on all subjects of pubi
interest?that its mission was .discussion,
id although it should never bo prostituted
i the low business of slander, it. certainly j
id tho right to notice both men and incas- ;
res. Yet in tho face of this truth, how often
d we see editors perverting tho columns
hich should contain "strong denunciation '
id manly criticism," into lotf and sordid ,
cws, and indirect and "equivocal apologies" |
r wrong and injustice, because, perchance, j
imo influential 6r prominent man might
iconic offended at his independence if. he
:ted otherwise, and withdraw his patronage.
00 little of this spi litis exorcised HinodSg "gfenomcn
of the Press," a close which of all
llicrs should exorcise a free and urilranaicllcd
right. When the press is left thus
a fettered to advanco and advocate tho right, j
oc from bias or bribery, then will our peo i
Ic have rid themselves of one great barrier I
1 their advancement. I
We would bo happy to trace the reader

but o ir space is limited. Pcrsevcr- ,

The steam ship Empire City has arrived
nt this port from A spin wall, with advices
from San Francisco to tho 17th ult. >*Th?
steam ship Golden Age, which loft
?Sau t/ancisco on the 17th ult., with seven
hundred and fifty passengors and $125,000
iu specie, struck a sunken rock on tho 28tli
ult. off the Island of Quiero, in seventeen
fathoms water, while poing at full speed.?
Tho water gaiuing rapidly, Capt, watkins
beached thoyship on tho Island of Quiero,
which is only five miles distant from Panama.
The discipline of tho crew was perfect.
Tho passengers were taken oft' by the steam
ship J. L. Stephens, which arrived at Panama
on the 3d instant, and immediately on
her arrival tho steam ship Panama was despatched
to the assistance of tho Golden Age.
The tide ebbs and flows in her, but thero
are strong hopes entertained that sho will bo
saved.
The Golden Age was to have taken to
San Francisco tho pasaongcrs fruin New

5th inst. Tho passengers of the Golden *lgc
left Aspinwall in tho steam ship Illinois for

The Little Compliments of Life.
Life is made op of trifles?hows, and smiles,
And littlo kindnesses are, like the air,
Kssentinl to our being."
Th* eompiimcTiU of Ufa and society aro
more potent than most persons arc apt to Itnngine.
We have more than onco seen a
iinilo of pleasure pass over a countenance
that is ordinarily rugged and stern at some
kindly demonstration intended to convey
good-will, and to manifest respect. And
with the geuteel sex, such demonstrations aro
it most ine-istpbja. Who has not seen some
bright eye kindle, and nopic full cheek glow
it little attentions of this kind?attentions
that cannot be paid too frequently and that
rarely fail to have some effect ?
A few years a gentleman of a neighbor
ing city became utterly devoted to a young!
'irul accomplished beauty, with whom he lirul |
been on term* of friendly intimacy from
childhood. Ho, however although highly i
educated graceful and courteous was remark-'
ably homely. Fully aware of this he sup-!
posed, and rightly, that the task of conquest,
would be ono of great difficulty. Hut ho'
was devoted to^ro fair object of his regard,
and she, althou* she always respected and
esteemed bini, could believe- it possible for
her evor to cherish a more tender emotion.
Nevertheless, tho suiLor pcrserved. He did
so, too, not rashly and impetuously, but by
paying the most delicate uttcntions at nil
proper times and seasons, and by consulting
her wishes her tastes aud her feelings, at ev- j
ery fitting opportunity. He was untiring;
and although slio was capricious, vain and
somewhat coquettish, she possessed n noble!
and generous heart and one that was full of
the warmest sympathies.
Year after year passed by, and still the
suitor persevered. Others stepped in meanwhile
but they could not appreciate her butterfly
character, and would not conciiate the
many whims of the beauty and the belle
and hence they but a momentary impression.
Not so,Hn>*rever with the other,
lie had studied her nature thoroughly, aud
had discovered that he was gradually overcoming
the prejudice that at first prevailed,
and accomplishing the realization of his
warmcsf hopes. At last, too, ho was successful.
Ho not only won tho hand, but ho
secured tho heart of the fair enchantress and
all, in a measure, by such delicate, kind and
complimentary attentions, as nro at the command
of almost any one who studies human
nature,has the patience to practice tho phi-;
losppliy of perseverance, of self denial and of,
courtesy. *.
Ami so in every condition of life. It is i
almost impossible for any one to think unkindly
of another, who, on every occasion,
exhibits the warmest regard, and socks for
opportunities to extend courtesy, manifest
friendship aud indicate feeling. On tfi'o other
hand, those who neglect tlie little compliments
of life, who fancy that they may trample
upon this point of etiquette, and that
foaturo of courtesy, that their business is to
receive and not to extend favSrs?that thoy
may bo selfish and indifferent, and insulting,
and all with impunity, will, in the end, discover
that they mum committed a fearful
and egregious mhtWe.

Thlrehas been rc<Jfently 8om<f depression
in tho breadstuff markets o? the -North, owing
to the Jtyprchpnaion that -4he canals,
which were opened the 2d.dnstant,\vouW
considerably increaso tlio stocks ; but, from
present appearance, it may, bo inferred that
this resort has not taken placo. We see
that within a day or. two flour hps assumed
a greater firefcness, with some improvement
in pi ices. We dc r.pt imagine
that it wili go at any lower rates for tho present.
Should tho growing crop prove very
fine, and tho foreign demand bo uo greater
than it is, of course there must be a decline;
but Until this does annoar. flour will Imlrl
own very firiuly. #4 <:r- i
The stocks are very lijjbt every where. So ,
lighynwuhcy in this city, that there is not
enough for operations t Even if shippers
were ready to meet the views of holders,
thero is not enotigh flour fpr their trado.
Thero never was a crop of wheat which
so deceived the country as that of last year.
It was deceptive alike in quality nnd quantity.
The yield of fine-looking fields^ upon
which the farmer calculated largely,deceived
him entirely. Tho amount ground,, in this
with a greatly increased milling power, has
fallen off at least one-third, compared, with
the operations of the prcoediugiyeur. The
wheat was not in the country, and of courtfe
could not be hail by the millers. It has
been a fortunate thing tlint crops in other .
countries weroao abundant, there lin3 been
littlo demand for exportatious and we havo "
had our short crop pretty much for,
home consumption.
Last year was a hard one in every res|
pcct. Thero was a heavy money pressure
and a disastrous drought, that greatly curtailed
tho production of the country. The
prices of nearly all the necessaries of lifo are
now so high as to be oppressive to the poor,
and hard upon nil. A visitor at our markets
some days of late could behold at least a
slight samploof what a famine would bring
upon us. But there has been an improvement,
and wo trust the 6cnson may continue
to be propitious. 1

"Resolved, That slavery tfnd slave institutions

maintain them is not sectional but national;
that the right to establish them in Reorganization
of State governments belongs to the

Congress has uo constitutional power to intervene,
by excluding a new State applying for
admission into the Union, upon the ground
that the constitution of such Slalo recognizee
slavery."
Attorney General Cashing, has given the
following opinion-*
"1. According to the law of nations, neutrals
have the right to purchase during war
the property of belligerents, whether ships
or anything else; and any regulation of a particular
Stalo which contravenes this doctrine
is against public law, and in mere derogation
of the sovereign authority of all other
independent States.
"2. A citizen of the United States may,
at this time lawfully purchase a Russian
merchant ship of either of the belligerents,
Turkey, Russia, Groat Britain, France or
Sardinia. If purchased bona fide, such ship
becomes Amcriean property, and entitled ns
such to the protection and the fing of the
United 9|l?fes?and although she cannot take
out a register by our law, yet that is a foreign
built, not because she is belligerent built;

It should bd^ho study of every one to
mako happy those with whom he associates
?everybody?tho rich and tta poor, the
elevated the humble. W*iould never
turn away from a person with a crabbed
word and an itidiffcrcut-ai?, because we aro
not favorably impressed vnpi him on first
eight j Jie may have rare jewels in his rough
bosbfii. Looks are often deceptive. Wo
hnv|j known persons, who, at first sight
struck the beholder with disgust, but after
an intimate acquaintance became the most
precious friends. Scenes of such instances
occur iti tho lives of those who study to please.
They have learned the tact that tho outward
appearance Is not an index of the heart, Rnd
in striving to pleaso thev win many priceless
jewels. *fi0
A pleasant agreeablo disposition should
be.cultivatcd at all limes. Be not cross or
crabbed, give no course answer to any one ;
go a few' steps out of your wav to please others
and you will receive your reward,. Studyto
please is a good motto.
