to breast in maintaininghis ground in favor ot the immediate adiniseion of Kenyan into the Union, under tbe Lecompton Constitu ' tioe. Every device that neg*o fanaticism or party tactice could devise, to seduce or . drive tbe President from that position, has ] been brought to bear upon him, and at times , it baa seemed that he was about to be completely overwhelmed by the number* and 1 tierceuess of bis opponents. The entire ' li)i)ck Republican party at tbe North raised one universal howl over what they deuounc- i ed as treason to the Constitution and the cause of popular light*. To a man endow- 1 ed with ordinary nerve, this could be withstood; but lie bnd other enemies to encounter, that had gone out from the midst of his own catup, and taken up arms of rebellion against liiin.

Nor should I tt?e roll of the unfaithful stop lieie. Worse' than Black Republican legions, and the open ' treachery of former friends, the South?the great unbroken, chivalrniM, Democratic South, that placed hint in position and woretodefend his Administration? throughout the fiery struggle, has stood aloof with arms folded and countenance serene, looking calmly upon the scene, leaving him, with a few faithful adherents from the North, to contend alone with the powerful adversary, if indeed, some of them have not secretly prayed that lie might fall in the contest. Such has been the history of affairs at Washington since tlm commencement of the present Congress. We do not exaggerate.! The picture is faithful to the life. We have j no motive to draw it otherwise, and no in terest in the matter beyond what every patriotic citizen should feel for the success of a just cause and the aseenuaiicy of correct principles. There are many gratifying evidences that the President intends manfully to maintain his position in the face of all this discouragement and fiery opposition. The Black lie publicans tiegin to complain that he "snubs the impertinent interineddlers whom they have sent there, singly anil in committees, to deter him from the fearless dischaige of his duty. This is a gotsl sign, and we hope he may continue the snubbing until be shall ItA ritl nf il?a* onfii o \I .?.. ...

The mott cheering account that we have, though, is fioui the Black Republican Press. The special correspondent of the Tribune, under date 27ih ultimo, gives the following hopeful account of atfairs, which proves that the President has only to stnnd firm, to triumph over every op|>o.-ilion : "The aspect of the Kansas question has changed in the House since last week, and changed for the worse. As there is hope of a Pro-Slaverv State (ioverninent and Legisla- , ture underCalh urn's count ing, it is determined that tho Lecomplon baud shall be put through. 1 " And it probably will l?e. Douglas has ! spent his force and weakened his position i by ostentatiously clinging to his party.? , The Northern Democracy are hacking down. "Ten Pennsylvania members have given in their adhesion to Lecomplon ; among them Mr. Landy, previously repoited to be ' nnti-Lecompton. Of the New Jersey Pern- < ocrats, Mr. Adrain alone holds out.

With this showing in behalf of tlie President, we have no doubt be will soon be 1 blessed with a plenty of fiiends in all pails of the country?even Southern Congress- < men will awake from their long slumbers and discover that he is a " marvellous proper ( man."

It was nt one tiine supposed tlint lie would be. The Vacancy in this Congressional District. The probable refusal of Col. Our to serve for a longer period than tie present session of Congress, has brought forward the names of several gentlemen in connection with that distinguished position. So far, we have seen the names of none but worthy individuals, whose claims have been set forth truthfully, yet modestly, by their respective friends.? No one will deny that in casting about us for a successor to Col. Oku, who has repre sen ted us with such signal ability and etedit, that lie should be a man upon whose shoulders the mantle of Congressional honors should fall deservedly and woithily. To be a Representative from the South?a sec tion of country which is daily growing weaker in power in the national Congress, and whose lights require tho sternest anil most uncompromising support?is a position of no small importance, and should be accepted only by those whose inclinations lead them to lie devoted to its rights and honor. The time has past when tho servi- , ces of sycophants, hirelings, and Northernloving politicians, should be eschewed by nil lovers of the South and her cherished institutions. The timo has likewise past when we can longer hope for support beyond our >wn holders, or defence from other than otir >wn Uepresentatives. The lies which have j litherto hound lite Northern and Southern j wings of the great Democratic party, have >ne hv one been severed, until the only liga- I nenls that now remain to make them a party,j nre tho?o which are supposed to exist I through the cohesive power of office and emolument, and we, as a people, will have to look alone to ourselves for the chances of protection. Our Uepresentatives to Congress mu>t be men imbued with the principles : .?f Stales Uights?those glorious pi indoles which animated the bosoms of the lovers of the Republic in the days of Lowndes, McDlfkik ami Calhoun, and, with a knowledge that from the North we can receive no further assistance and co-operation, let them be prepared to submit to no tnore cou cessions or compromise*, it litis Union is to remain a glory and a piide among (lie nations of the earth, our statesmen must be above the low trickery which has hitherto brought reproach upon us. Let them ask nothing that comports not with fairness and justice?hut, above nil, submit to nothing lhat is a rung. We are happy to know that there are many in our Congressional District who would represent us with ability and honor, lint we have seen the name of no one that we think will meet with a heartier response ban that of our townsman?Gen. W. K. Kaslky. io ... w.ery respect reliable afcd rust worthy, and should he be a candidate, io will certainly receive a hearty support rom every portion of the Congressional Disrict.

The lonor of the South, and her cherished priu;iple?, will find in hiin a staunch and able iefender, and into his keeping might safely be entrusted. Ilis oratorical powers are un-1 equalled in the Congressional District, and no one more deeply schooled in the learning so essential to the statesman. We do not know that he will consent to be a candidate, but this we do know, his election would give eatUfaclion to a largo and influential portion Easlky, we have no dUpoJ dtft to disparage or overtook lira claims of other gentlemen. What w't have said, we conceive'to be due to deserving merit. Our Religion* Exchanges.

Of course tiie lords of creation, and the turf in particular, were dancing attendance, and doing liouiHfre at tliA shiinn of lienutv. in countless O ' ? ? ' numbers. Nicholas and Lizzie McDonald were to open tiio ball with four mile beats. The excitement was intense. Gloves were freely staked by the ladies, and the dust bv the gentlemen, as to tho result. Soon after the start, Lizzie showed her opponent her heels, allowing him to keep provokingly near. As they swung into the home stretch, on the fourth mile, she was still ahead, which position she maintained until the end, winning by a length. The next heal was run in tine style, although, to the suiprise of many, Lizzie came in winner again by several lengths, thus winning the race in two straight heats. 13y predicting the success of Nicholas in my last, I have proven myself no prophet in regard to horse flesh and their actions; still, it is admitted by no means as a fair test of speed and bottom. Tho horse is of fiery mettle, and seemed to have lost by tho peculiar manner in which ho was jockeyed. lie pulled hard on the bit throughout, by which he appeared fretted and restrai red too late to close ihe gap.

Muidorc, and a colt of Mr. Canlev'*. The race wan for two mile heals, which win won hy Engineer. On the same Jay there was another run of two nwlo heat*, which was won hy Gov. Wickliffe. There were several entries for the three mile race on Saturday, and Lizzie McDonald and Nicholas among them. However, as they wero all withdrawn, the race was left to Shockoe and Agitator. It was easily won by the former, a beautiful sorrel. The next and last of the regular races, as well as one of the most exciting, was a sin* gle dash of three miles. For this five formidable opponents came up to the string? Engineer, Matt Spangler, Tar River, Moidore and a bay colt. Tar River's former easy victory, made his friends sanguine of bis success, but the gray (Engineer) swept the ground with the case of a bi;d. lie took the lend at starting, and kept it throughout, winning by a neck, though made to use bis pins in <piick lime by Spangler.

A most daring robbery took place at the theatre on last Saturday evening. A young man, a collector fo; a mercantile Lotus in the city, who had just returned from the country, was relieved of his pocket book containing $8,000 in bills and notes. As soon as he discovered his loss, he left the theatre and made a report at the police office. A captain and detachment ef police were then despatched. to at rest the *.mef.
