Slf* ,* ?«t,is Henry A. Wl»c. The most ridiculous thing on the tapis, is a letter recently sent by the abovte Governor of Virginia, in answer to a very polite invitation from Boston, requesting him to deliver one or a serios or lectures in that city, this winter on the subjoct of Slavery.

The spirit of the old Dominion appears to bo up, and the Governor makes a tilt worthy the vain foolish conceit, of the "first lamilios." ... ii

thtlr ©pinions of constitutional freedom and I

Let tho leaders of the Old Lino partv cry "triumph, triumph"—it is-but tho soothing of the pain the wings of the Vampiro gives to its victim. Let them assert, that tho American party is sold to the Abolitionists—they, themselves, are bartered away by their "alien frionda," without even being consulted as to the price. in a vcryOTlTarficle on tlie influcncc of this foreign population, the Louisville Journal has the following:

"At the time of the adoption of the Constitution and for many years afterwards the foreign immigration to this country was very small, only a fow thousand per year. The immigrants, upon their arrival, were dispersed among the Americau citizens, they soon becamo acquainted with our language, our customs, our principles, and were indeed often thoroughly imbued with American feeling.— J^e population of our vast extent of country QBn sparse and these immigrants were scattered amoue it, and became fused with and iucorporated into the general mass of American cititens. The wljole fiumbcr of foreign immigrants during a period of twnty years, from 1790 to 1S1Q, WaR but 120,000 from 1810 to 1830, it was but 31-4,000 but in tlie ttn years from 1330 to 1840, the number was increased to nearly 800,000, and in the ten years from 1840 to 1850, it again increased to nearly I.600,000! The most alarming and unpiecedented incrcaso has been siuCe 1850 in the' tingle year of 1854 the number of foreign iriimigrants exceeded 600,000! Thus, we fiud. in a single year a foreign population poured in upon us larger than the whole population of many of our States. Neither Jvew Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Texas, Florida, Iowa, Arkansas, Michigan, or Wisconsin have at present a papulation so large as the present annual influx of foreigners into ourcouutrr- Thus a foreign population more than sufficient for a whole Slate is actually added every year to the number of foreigners already among us every year there is an increase o? our foreign population more than sufficient to elect five new members of Congreess. At this rate, probably in less than ten years, certainly io less than fifteen, the foreign born will really outnumber the uative-boru population."

Are there nut some striking statistics in the above quotation. An influx of foreign popu lation, each rear sufficient to make a State as

e,lher of tbo theen hcro

ted. An incrcaso upon the immigration of 500,000 for the last preceding year. And when it is considered that this population can Tote, after they are in our State but si* months, ai etia now, so perfectly control tho Old Line parfy at the ballot-box, is it not time for the troe American cititen, to wate up to scn«e of the danger that surrounds our institution*, and by the omnipotent power of free suffrage, strangle the monster before it is full grow a.

before these foreign representatives, with as

much servility as the cravpn acd coward fawns before a superior. The great national democratic party is gone —swallowed up—the-opinions of lir. Jefferson are unceremoniously tossed overboard— the wise councels of Madison and the exhortations of Washington are unheeded. There is no American democracy—there may be German dcmocrary, or Irish democracy, or Hessian democray but where is it? Who can place his finger on American democracy

It is a melancholy fact that truth compels ua-to writetb'4*. The only independent men in the Old Line party, ore the foreigners—the ouly men who dare to think and act for themselves, are those adopted citizens. If therecent clecliou in this State, is a party triumph, it can only consistently be claimed by tho foreign party—a triumph over democratic principles as taught by tho great exponents of that party—a triumph of ail foreign influences and notions over the corrupt remnant of a glorious party, once led to victory by the Sage of the Hermitage.

There is no more similitudo between the democratic party now, and the democratic party ten or twenty years ago, than there is between a full grown man, and a hnnch-back-ed, bow-legged, disjointed, dwarfish pigmy.— The otio was tho substance, the other the mere representative of a shadow. And it is this party—this immutable party now led willingly by tho nose, by the united foreign population, that seeks to oppose the American organisation.

The tlMedncated adopted citizen exults iu the exaulted political position ho has so soon attained in this county but tho intelligent portion tho men who have seen the workiugs of this mass upon their native soil, have much conscientious forebodings about the result— they only desire favorable circumstances, and immediately will they give their warm and hearty support t-o the party the|' are now, for

In proof of this asserttou, we will here transcribe some resolutions recently passed by the German $ocial Democratic Association of Richmond, Virginia.

Read thera aud seu what you will eventually have to swallow a demand: 1, Universal suffrage. 2. The election of all officers by the people. 3. The abolition of the Presidency. 1. The abolition of the donate. 5. The rights of the people to recall their representatives (cashier them) at their pleasure. 6. The right of the people to change the constitution when they like. 7. All law suits to be conducted without expense. 8 A department of the government to bo set apart for tho purpose of protecting immigration. 9. A reduced term for ac quiring citizenship. "1.

To-night, Oct. 21th, if tho weather should prove favorable, there will be an opportunity of witnessing a total eclipse of the Moon.— Such a phenomenon no longer fills the mind with superstitious terror, but teaches the immutability of the laws of Nature, aud exhibits "Uuamblguous footsteps of a God,

S.'Who gives its lustre to an insect's wing, (JjAml wheel* His throne upou the rolling vrorlds." By actual: calculation, made for t.U* m«ridian of this place, the Moon will enter the Earth's shadow or umbra, 51m. and lis., past 11 o'clock, P. M., and will bo entirely immersed at 55m 13s. past midnight. She will reappear 21m. 29s. after 2 o'clock, A. M.., anJ will finally emerge25m. 31s. after 3 o'clock A. M.

Duration of eclipse, 3h. Jim. 20s. The Moon will be visible when eutircly enveloped ia the Earth's shadow, because those rays from tho Sun that are not absorbed, are refracted by tho atmosphere so as to throw a suffi cient quantity of light on the Moou, to render her visible.

A young exquisite was lately listening to a lady friend singing a song, in which lhe foliowinjr lines cccur:

"By that fair brow where innocence reposes, Like moonlight resting upon snow." Looking at him intently, she divided the words in the first line in a mannerdifferent from the true rersion, and not par tlcularly complimentary, thus: "By that fair brow where in no seuce reposes,

Like nioo'ulight resting upon snow."

Tho roar of the guns and the yells of the men were awful, and every minute more of our fellows who got into the works were shot down and made prisoners.
