BUCIIANAX I.N VIRGIMA. ' I Mr. ilonfague, the Democratic candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Vir ginia, in a discussion with Mr. Goggin, the Whig candidate for the Governorship, thas spoke of Mr. Buchanan : "I voted for Mr. Buchanan on the Cincinnati platform, but Kt A ckecived me A i traitor to Mis frty, mnd m kelp m ixy Omtor, I'U never oe for arm cytin." ; What do jou think of that, Citizen H ol den ? There is quite a lively contrast be tween jour undiminished confidence in eld Buck,and Democratic Mr. Montague's opinion of him. By the way, speaking of your confi dence in old Buck, ws could never, for the life of a, see the reason of it. You are op posed to his proposed Pacific Bailroad, you are opposed to- his proposed Specific Duties, and yon are opposed to his Thirty Million Bill. What, then, do you see in his admin istration to warrant your confidence in it? Is it bis proposed protectorate over Mexico? Do tell us. You owe it to 'your own eelf- respect and reputation as a man of sense, to tell the public what Mr.' Buchanan h'as done or proposed to do. to counterbalance the thre important propositions named above all of whieh are so obnoxious to you. j MATED. The Democratic Convention which met at Franklinton on Thursday nominated the lion. L. O'B. Branch a a candidate to represent i this District in the next Congress of the Uni ted Sutea. : " We most ardently and devoutly hope that : the Secretary of the Franklinton.Conf ention, . taking warning from the fate of the uphappy, ! the maimed, and mutilated Whiuker, has sent a copy of the proceedings of the august , body directly, immediately,' and primarily to ' the Standard. It is due to truth, 'candor. and justice for ns to say, and we therefore ' solemnly state it, that the Secretary has not . sent us any "portion" of the proceedings of the Fran klb ton Convention, and we hopehe ! wont, as we do not wish, however innocently, . to be the mfeans of kicking up another "such i a row, such a rumpus and a ribbing?' aa has been raging in, and about, and around here lately, for r ,' i Oara' are tbe plans of fair, delightful peace, , Unwarped by party rage to live brothers.'

We regret thist Tory much, as we ardently desired to do the right thing by a journal wielding iso mighty and exteosivo an iofluenoe as does the Peters burg Press.'' The 'Press," however, wo feel confident, was parttcutaily lavsh in its. thanks and compliments for the "delicate per- aooal allusions" which awakened its stirring memories of the glorious campaign of 1848, whn iis Editor, from, tho pulpit of an old church in Greensville, and while addressing a large1 audience of ladies and gentlemen, pronounced the Democratic ptrty to be the 4 '. dat and most oorrupt faction that ever jeursed a country ,n and doubtless was charm- ed with be idea that we could prove this statement by Col. J. R. Chambliss, of Greens ville, who was present and sitting by us when the language was used language we heard then for the first and last time pronounced from a pulpit. s ' 1 But it seems that the feelings of our devot ed friend and ardent admirer, the foreign !) and domestio edi'or'of the Press" the writer who can with a dash of his pen solve problems whoee intricacies have pussled and perplexed European ministers, statesmen, and cabinets, (by the way, Colonel, dofyou think there will be a war in Europe ?) and who can in a trice announce theories of banking and currency which Albert Gallatin would never have dreamed of have been excited by tho appearance in the "Register" of the charge that ohn -Letcher had been opposed to the Fugitive Slave Law. Now, dearest Colonel, listen to a few plain words You knew when vou wrote the article of the 26th that the "Register," like some of the Virginia papers, was led into this mistake about Letcher, by the Washington "States." Vou knew that the writer of this was in Pe tersburg on the day before the Register con taining the charge came out, and had been in that city for several days prior thereto, and by reference to the ' Register, of Weduesday last you trill see that we availed ourself of the very first opportunity to make the amende honorable to Mr. L'tcher, jut as you are do ing now to the 'Democratic .party which you once declared to be "the d dat and most corrupt faction that ever cur-ed a country," which, "as we paid before," we can prove by Col. John R. Chambliss. ' In conclusion, we express the hope that the Editor of the "Press'' will reoover from the shock we have caused him, and give to him the solemn a-surance tnat we never look at or think of him but the lines of the poet re our to ns : i . "And $till ww yM, andttUl the toonder yroicw, I That one nali htad hotdd hold all he knows.''' ' CIIEERI3U NEWS; i We have received a large number ot let era in the last few days, and in nearly every one have received kind words of encouragement to labor on for our glorious caue, as well as cheering intelligence of the prospects of our party in different sections of tbeSU'e. The following is an extract from a letter, from a friend in Wilkes, dated on the 25th in stant: ' - , ' "The skies are bright in old Wilkes for Vance. We anticipate giving him an increased majority tbe coming summer. ' "The Wbiga are. greatly pleased with the Reg ister in this section.

You are quite right, Mr. Loring, but to tell you truth, with both your eyes open, jou are hard to please about "colors." You once wore Democrat is "colors," then yon took a fancy to Whig "colors," and now you have gone back to Democratic "colors." We confidently expect your next color" will be a bright pea green. . . - BORROWING NEWSPAPERS. Several of our. City subscribers have com plained to us that persons, fully able to sub scribe for a newspaper! are in the habit of botrowiog the Register before it can be read by those who take it and pay for it. This newspaper borrowing, by those who are abl e to pay for a papr, is a miserable, picayune, ; penny-wise and pound-foolish practice. The typos of the Register office return their thanks to J B. Franklin, Agent, tor a nice treat of cakes, pies, confeetionaries, ale, &c. Tbey. say he keeps first rate articles and as an evidence of thia he advertises them in the Register. Everybody in or about Ral eigh saj s Franklin is one of the cleverest of I men to deal with, and everybody ougbt to know for everybody deals with him.

The steamer Citv of Washington arrived at New York on Monday last with dates from Liver pool to the 13th instant The news by this ar 1 i val waa of a more pacific character than former ly, a report having been circulated that concessions had been made by Austria in the preliminary con' dition regulating. the proposed Peace Congress but the steamer Circassian, from Liverpool on the I8th inst., passed Cape Race en the 26th, bring ing news which give ls hope of the establishment of peace.

Later advices from Utah represent affairs in that territory aa threatening. J udge Cradlebaugh had dismissed the juries, they refusing to find a true bill against a murderer, in consequence of the ex cited state of tbe populace. A thousand soldiers had been despatched to the neighborhood of Provo City. . Gov. Cumming had ksued a proclamation siding, with the Mormon sentiment. The danger of an outbreak was considered imminent. Besides the difference between General Johnston and Gov ernor Cumming there is an open rupture between the latter and the Judiciary. Drath or Dx Tocqukvillx. The City of Washington brings the' news of the death of Henry Alexis do Tocqueville, the distinguished French author and statesman. He was bften a member of the French Legislative Assembly, and in 1843 was Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic. After Louis Napoleon seized absolute power he withdrew from publie life, and occupied himself with the composition of a book upon the "Ancient Regime,? in which the causes of the French.

The ranks of the army are now full for the first time in twenty vears, but there is a considerable Surplus of recruits from which to fill future vacancies. The unusual prosperity of the recruiting business may be attributed part ly to the depressing effect of "the financial revul sion, hut mainly to the increase of the soldier's pay, about four years ago, op to tbe decently rer munerative standard of $11 per month. for foot and $12 for cavalry service. I f j ; ""I A Christ-Lik Skntimint. Rev. Dr-'Jons, an Episcopal clergyman in Baltimore, says of ex cessive denominationalism : "Wherever this goes bevond love for souls, something Is wrong.
