Douglass, and the depot of underground railroad, marshalled by negro Conguen; and whereas, our city has often been disgraced by treasonable meetings, instituted by these dangerous men and their followers, in which meetings plots have been formed for sowing the seeds of abolitionism and disunionism abroad, which, in common with the action of other abolition meetings held at the North, gave rise to the bloody raid at Harper's Ferry; and whereas, it is the duty of all good citizens of these United States, without distinction of party, to cultivate amicable feelings with and amongst each other, rather than to promote discord and to excite hatred, and believing at this particular juncture of national affairs it is unwise, unjust, and unpatriotic to agitate the question of the abolition of involuntary servitude, and while we are not for abridging the constitutional right of freedom of speech, but on the contrary desire it, and wishing hereby to give, by freedom of speech and of the press, a

he one, any more than the other, owes allegiance to the United States--which would make his assent to an act of secession by oath of allegiance to the Federal Government, or to the United States, by a foreigner, in order to his becoming a citizen. s; but he swears no allegiance to the Government of the United States. It is true he swears to support the Constitution as taken, he is not only not bound to allegiance to the United States, but he is bound to support the Constitution against its violation by the Government of the United States. The Government, in violating the Constitution, commits treason against tormed, that the naturalized citizen is a citizen of the United States, and not of Virginia. This is a great error. Every man in Virginia is a citizen of the United States, only because he is a citizen of this State.--Congress has power to naturnd immunity — and may well be called a citizen of these United States, because he is a native or a naturalized citizen of one

Law suit between horse Tamers. --An action for $100,000 damages has been commenced in the Supreme Court in New York, by Denton Offutt, of New Orleans, against John S. Rarey, the famous horse tamer, for an alleged violation of a contract. Mr. Offutt claims that he is the originator of this system of horse taming, and that in the year 1850 he taught it to Rarey, who bound himself in the penalty of $50 in each case in which he should impart the secret to any other person; that he gave Rarey a book of the system, which he (Rarey) has since republished, and has further violated the contract by imparting the secret of the system to divers persons in Europe and the United States.

Mr. Mallory's dispatch to Governor Bigler states that, if the Brooklyn is to reinforce Fort Pickens, an attack will be made upon the fort by the 1,700 State troops which are at Pensacola; that his counsel is against attack, even if the fort be reinforced, but the troops are impatient of restraint. The Government has answered to-day that the provisions on board the Brooklyn, destined for the fort, must be landed; that the soldiers will remain on board the Brooklyn, which ship, with other United States vessels, must remain in the harbor. If the fort be attacked, the Artillery companies are to be thrown into it, and a general defence against attack is to be made. Washington dispatches. Acting Postmaster General King has received complaints from Northern gentlemen that their letters from the South have been violated.

Preferring death to New Jersey. --One terrible stormy night, in bleak December, a United States vessel was wrecked off the coast of Jersey, and every soul, save one, went down with the doomed craft. This one survivor, a western gentleman, seized a floating spar, and was washed toward the shore, while innumerable kind hearted tools of the Camden and Amboy Railroad stood clustered on the beach with ropes and boats. Slowly but surely the unhappy mariner drifted to land, and as he exhaustedly caught at the rope thrown to him, the kindly natives uttered an encouraging cheer. "You are saved," they shouted. "You are saved, and must show the conductor your ticket." With the sea still boiling about him, and a floating straw tickling his nose, the drowning stranger suddenly resisted the efforts to haul him ashore.--"Stop!" said he, in a faint tone. "Tell me where I am! What country is this?" And they answered "New Jersey." Scarcely had the name been uttered, when the wretched strang

Duel. --An affair of honor took place near the Pennsylvania and Delaware lines yesterday morning, the result of a personal difficulty which occurred at the Capitol, in this city, on Friday last. The principal parties to the affair were Dr. J. J. Jones, of New Orleans, and Mr. Wilson, of Tennessee, an officer, we learn, in the United States revenue service. The difficulty grew out of offensive remarks from Wilson to Jones concerning the Douglas party. Jones was Secretary of the Central Douglas Committee during the late campaign and a warm friend of the Judge, and resented the remark by a slap in the face. Wilson immediately sent a challenge, which was accepted, and the parties left Washington on Monday morning. They fought with pistols at ten paces, Wilson receiving a severe wound in the hip, and Dr. Jones being uninjured.-- Wash. Star.

The Charleston Courier suggests the 22d of February, "the birthday of George Washington, the illustrious Southerner," as the official birthday of the new Southern Confederacy--that is to be. Some of the medical journals are much disturbed about the custom of lying in bed; the habit of lie-ing out of bed is, we think, a great deal more to be guarded against. The small-pox has been creating some alarm in Lynchburg, Va. There have been twelve cases and two deaths. Miss Muloch, author of "John Halifax," has turned editor, and is to supervise a new monthly shilling magazine. Louisiana has sent delegates to the Southern Congress. Thirty-five men were killed last year in duels in the United States.
