ELECTION IN RICHMOND. ; ,s- i "The Petersburg Express reports the newa by telegraph that the municipal election held in Richmond, Ta., on Wednesday last, resulted in the success of the Know Nothings. . " , - PEACE ! PEACE t We think there is little doubt about the con clusion of peace in,JSurope. ' -If. this does not mako money moro plenty with us, it will cause , provisions to be cheaper, which will be an equiv- alent. Times will certainly be better here and everywhere in the country, for the people at large. ' ; r " XT. M.rBURWELL.1 ' ' -' : We learn that the above-nanied gentleman, who 'was lately the Editor of the Washington City Or gan of the Know Nothing or American Party, re fuses to support Mr. Fillmore "without more reliable pledges of hi fidelity to the South.' If the course of Mr. Bcbweu, is predicated . upon his present position, we look with certainty upon 'his acting with the Great National Democratic Party, which has now begun the battle for the . Constitution and given an unmistakeable and un conditional pledge of fidelity to the South. We published an article on Thursday, from the Columbia (S. C) Times, In which the Editor gives up bis Know Nothing affinities, and takes the gTound upon which CiLHOCN, of glorious memo ry, stood undismayed in an hour of violent con flict and great peril. , ? It is certainly gratifying to us to find so many of " the talented and the pure, coming up to the res cure of Southern "Rights, and vindicating our gwn "course in this matter. We do not say that every honest Know Nothing will " come up to the help" on this occasion. But we do say, that such a step is evidence ef honesty of purpose, inde- . pendence of mind, and courage of heart. These are the qualities that are essential tq the cause and the crisis and we are confident that these will find exhibited aa amplitude in their behalf, throughout the coming conflict.. The motto of the Democratic - Party is not " conquer or die." No no such thing-j-it is " conquer ' only. Be firm and united fellow citizens and there need he no oa about it. ' i -- : : PRINCIPLES NOT MEN, The Tove should ho the governing doctrine in political and all other contests, among enlighten ed men. Greatness in men is but an ideality in the sense In which it is usually conceived ; the influence of -reason "is lost iu this.which alone should bo the" umpire in : all cases affecting the public welfare. , Frequently, men follow political leaders; without haying any idea about it,- but from habit and a sort of instinct equivalent to that , possessed by a flock of sheep;, who hop and jump after their leader with evident self-satisfaction. " - "-- i , ; . ' . r ' ' ' - ' '?''.'' ? It is evidently the practice of political tacticians to draw the minds of those they would have in their service, as much as possible from honest ar gumentation, and to silence the appeals of reason and drown the voice of truth. ' Hence arfoes an idolatry for men, which will not be diverted from its object, and which amounts to the expression, "you may say what you please about tariffs and banks and sub-treasuries and so on, but you shan't abnse Fillmore." Well, we think abuse of men is not the way to carry out the above motto, but rather a discus sion of the principles which men profess. But the idea that doctrines are not to bo as freely combated when asserted by men of distinction as well as when urged by the humblest individual, is a great absurdity an absnrdity, however, that certain politicians like to use when they want to accomplUb a particular purpose by the elevation of particular men instead of promoting the general welfare by striving after tho truth, and letting the public interest and happiness abide by that; We look for Barge crops of humbugs, deceptions and advertisement in terpolatory, during the com bat of mind in the ensuing election, and in this view we are reminded of . a matter that occurred in Virginia during Mr. Munroe'a administration, we think. He had the above motto on his car riage in Latin, viz: "Principia non Homines." His political enemies told the people that the true meaning of the sentence was Princes and no Hominy. What precise effect it had we know not, but, of course, it had some ; for a Virginian will not do without his Hominy, let whatever else be tide.: ' . . . ' NEW YORK HERALD MR. PIERCE. We wonder if Mr. Bennett of the Herald has come home, from Europe, or whether it was left to the bunch of Editors who inhabit bis estab lishment, to bring forth the article relative to the approaching political contest the candidates and Dominations which1 appeared in his paper on " All Fool's Day 1" There is much to approve in the article to which we allude, but there is much to condemn. He speaks correctly of Mr. t ilj.more, when be says: " Without having shown marked abilities, be has ever maintained the character of a geutl and as far as we know; that of an upright, fair man. Aa the President of the' United States, he did few things justly Subjecting him to censure. He left office with the positive distinction of hav ing strained at nothing, and with the reputation or a patriotic chief magistrate. Of the Black Republicans he also speaks cor rectly, when he says : "If they succeed in exhibiting their real chat acier ana purposes, more is a strong probability that their leaders, instead of being elected to the Presidency, will be tried and convicted of treason to the constitution. . It is a remarkable fact, in deed, that the public mind of a section of the country has become so poisoned and debased that a formidable party of Nigger Worshippers . has been organized and 15 disputing the election of President and Vice President with that old and at least respectable family, called the democra cy- . :. . ; - ' f- . - ; ; He speaks not well not truly not justly not wisely of President Peirce, of whom he says : " He was a candidate without a biography a great man without a history. He served his coun try so modestly that n one knew how and for these things he was nominated and elected, and - thereby the account is thought to be squared. J ust at this moment be is President, and the greatest service he can do for bis country is yet belore him that or leaving the White House. .We do not think It necessary to give the " bis " tory " of Peiscb ; though one of the great est statesmen this country ever knew, prognosti cated the event, many years before he was elect ed to the post of President of the United States. .Surely, there was something in the character of Mr. Pejrce. thus ta excite the admiration of a great and discerning miud. 1 - '- - But the history of his 'administration is all we , have to do with at present. We have on no oc casion failed to speaka freely of what we conceiv ed to be iU errors, and quite as freely in appro- bation of what we considered praiseworthy. . f T J 1 .. . 1 . 1 I. . . .... in (cuu wj tue great qnesuon Deiore me conn try ha has asserted1 the true principles of the Constitution with a precision, fairness and candor, which bespeak a patriotic heart and an intelligent mind. He has spoken more boldly for Southern Rights than any President baa ever done or dared v ao Deiore Giro ; and be nee is be richly entitled to our -admiration and "applause. He ha laid down tle" platform on which alone the South can repose in security or the Union rest la safety. . This has not been "done in the ordinary way in which., politicians invoke the support of the peo ple, but in his office as President of the' United States officially and unreservedly. " . " The insult conveyed in the concluding lines of the above extract, betrays a motive that docs not meet the public eye. There must be unworthy impulses and promptings to cause the Herald to perpetrate this causeless, senseless and unjust breach of good sense and decent manners. -T v If the Herald does indeed intend to -vindicate the cause of the Constitution, as may be indis tinctly inferred from some of its editorials, let the commander, order its batteries to fire on the . enemy and not oh the friends of that instrument. Sometimes in the f mixings up " of the battles of the warrior, the cry is beard ' You are- tinng on jour own roen.! This, cry is sometimes made to deceive, but often to declare a fact. In the latter -case we never knew of any who were so foolish and wicked as to continue the disastrous .wrong when apprized of its exietence. ,"-."' - ' GOING NORTH. - " '. - - .

At a supper party, a Scotchman and an Eng lishman were disputing on the relative merits and demerits of James I., the sixth James of Scotland and George IV., and with ao much earnestness that the whole company were comoelled to be listeners. The persons waxed warm and some what indecent. " "Your royal James, indeed I could spit up on him !" exclaimed the indignant English man. " - :. ; - " "And I wonld spit upon yonr worthless George," replied the Scotchman.

X Herald, April 1st ANOTHER VITRIOL MAN AT LARGE . WHERE ARE THE POLICE 1 The fiendish practice of throwing vitriol upon the dresses of ladies, which caused so much ex citement among us some years ago, and still more recently, has been again revived. On Sunday evening last two ladies, while returning home, with a friend, from a sacred concert at the City Assembly Rooms, had their dresses destroyed by vitriol. The dresses, which were shown to ns by tbe gentleman who accompanied them, were of the most costly silk and velvet, and were so badly damaged as to be unfit for further use. About seven years ago a young physician, who had indulged in the malicious amusement for a long time, in Broadway and other principal thor oughfares, was at last arrested and committed to tbe city prison, where he put an end to his life by inhaling chlorofosra. In his case the police were also grossly and culpably remiss in the perfor mance of their duty. A few years later another vitriol man commenced operations, and carried on the practice for several day before be was detected, and during that time destroyed thou sand of dollars worth of clothes. He was light ly punished; bnt the terrible warning presented in the death of. the unfortunate suicide, and tbe punishment of tbe second criminal, seem to have had little or no effect, if we may judge from the revival of the practice. There is one thing cer tain, however that if the police were as vigilant as they should be such fiendish acts could never be committed with impunity. Are the recent or ders of Mayor "Wood still In force 1 ' If ao then we trust the ooliceman. or policemen, on whose station the dresses of those ladies were destroyed will be held to strict accountability. . : We have just been called upon by another gen tleman, who states that his two sisters had their silk dresses and mantillas destroyed while on their way home, on Sunday night last, C om Dr. Cbap- in's church, in Broadway; and a communication in another column informs us that yet a third par ty were sufferers from the same cause. .One gen tleman has offered one thousand dollars for the apprehension and punishment of the offenders, an other one hundred and fifty, and a third five hun dred. Surely, if such inducement do not arouse the vigilance of 'the police nothing witt. How long will thi "vitriol man be allowed to go at large t If the Mayor baa the power-a we be lieve be has be should offer a reward for the de tection of the scoundrels. ,. . p ... -r ,. f a .
