We have been asked bj what authori ty we claim the reported result of the re- ceut ehetion in West Virginia as a defeat of the Greeleyites; for, it is stated, that the successful Jacob, as well as the de feated Camden, in the late contest for the Governorship, is in favor of Mr. Greeley.

It is equally well known that he w; s utterly opposed to I the “ New Depart e ” movement which | was consummated iu the ratification of the I Cincinnati Eadical Platform at Baltimore; and the nomination of Mr. Greeley upon lit. His position upon the action of the “New Departure” Greeley faction of I the Democratic Party at Baltimore can be judged of by all, from tbe following Resolutions which were drawn by him, and adopted by a meeting of “ Straight Democrats” to which they were sub- | mitted. Resolved, That wo approve the action of those Democrats representing many States, who. In the Convention which met in Baltimore, in the Mary land Institute, on the 10th of July, recommended that a National Convention of delegates from each State should he held in LoutsviUe, Ky., on the 3d of September next, to nominate Democratic candi dates. Resolved, That In nominating Horace Greeley, an enemy of the Democratic party for more than thirty years, for President, the delegates to the Baltimore Convention, assembled in the Opera Honse in that city, acted without authority emanating from the masses of the Democratic voters. Resolved, That we utterly repudiate the doctrine of Mr. Greeley as expressed in hit letter of accep tance, that there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats; but we hold tnat they have alwaye been distinguished by irreconciliabl and incompati ble principles respecting the Constitution and the condnct of the Government. Resolved, That we deny that the Democratic par ty (as the Liberal Republican papers and supporters of Mr. Greeley say) has ceased to exist; that the leaders who have bargained with Mr. Greeley can not transfer to him the Democratic masses, which are not marketable stuff, but that they will, as inde pendent freemen, abide by the principles of De mocracy. Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting be and is hereby instructed to appoint ten delegates at large to represent the State in the Democratic Con vention to be held in Louisville on the 3d of Sep tember, and that these delegates be instructed to act for this county in a Convention, which we re commend to be hold in Grafton on the 23d of Au gust.

Besolved, That the Government of the United States is one formed by sepa rate States; that it is one of limited pow ers, delegated by the States for specific purposes and objects set forth in the Constitution; and tnat it possesses of itself no original or inherent power whatever. 2. Besolved, That the Union estab lished by ihe Constitution is a Union of States, Federal in its character, com posed of States thereby united, and is incapable of existence without the States as its constituent integral parts; that the indectructibility of ’,the States—of their rights and of their equality with each other—is an indispensable part of this political system, and therefore, the per petuation oi the Union in its integrity depends upon the preservation of the States in their political integrity; the Government of the United States being Federal Republic, and not a consoli dation of the whole people into one homogeneous Nation. 3. Resolv< d, That the “right of local State-government” with the “subjection of .the military to the civil autfiority,” and “the security of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus," in time of peace, with the power to enforce “the rights, and promote the well-being of its inhabitants by such means as the judg ment of its own people may prescribe,” aro reserved, secured and guaranteed un der the Constitution of the United States to the several States of the Union; and that too,dnot “subject to any solemn Consti tutional obligation upon the part of the Federal Government” bf any kind what ever; but on the contrary, the Federal Government is under a solemn Constitu tional obligation not to interfere in these matters in any way; and when ii does so, it becomes a usurper of power, an oppres sive tyrant and an enemy io the -liberties of the country. • Hull 4. Resolved, That the perpetuation of the Uiiion, and the maintenance of the Government, as both were established by the Constitution, and as both under the Constitution have been expounded in the foregoing resolutions, in con formity with teachings of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, have ever been held as cardinal doctrines of the Demo cratic Party; and they are now reiterated with increased earnestness under the solemn conviction that the only - sura hope for the preservation of liberty jests in bringing back the administration of the Government to these principles and in rescuing it from the hands of those whose admitted usurpations and revolu tionary measures now threaten the entire overthrow of the whole fabric of our sys tern of Free Institutions, and the erection pi their stead of a consolidated Empire.

A Horse ThiefCaught. ■Ye*te; Jay in irning a negro m»u named EpUraiia Osburn, was seen on tha street making efforts to dell a right fine looking mule, for wnich heaskelthe moderate sum of $110. At first, no suspicion was attached to the oircumitanoe; but after a few unsuccessful efforts to obtain tin prioo Jiiuiuded, it wad oosccved tnat Ephraim manifest ed a disposition to seU tho animal at a sacrifice. So anxious was he to dispose of the muie, that he very quickly reduced ai« price to troai $110 to $T0. This fact aroused Ju suspicion of some, and po liceman Hill forte vitti arrested him,and committed him to the keeping of cue cauooose. Ephrtiok uad scarcely urn« to collect hia thoughts and matura uis plans for future operations, alter becoming a guest of the itatiou douse, oefore he was pursued. A Mr. Hancock, of Sand Town, Campbell county, (Jast beyond :beOuitrauoooaeo,! presently appeared at the Statiou H use, and identified his mule and the thief also. The negro after being detected, confessed all, ad mitting that hi Ua 1 stolen the male from Mr. Han cook, in Sand Town, yesterday morning before day; and that he hastened here to sell it. Being hand cuffed and secured with chains, he was escorted back to Sand Town by Mr. Hancock, who donbtleaa will take care that the law Is properly administered. The thief admitted that he had a Confederate who assisted him, bat he has not yet been arrested. Shocking Stabbing Affray. M « On Saturday night, about 10:39 o'clock, two ne groes, named respectively Paul Vaughn and Sam Mo- Coy, met each other on Foundry street, In this city, when the former proceeded io question the other about a collar which he b«d loaned him. McCoy oonld not satisfactorily account for the linen In ques tion, whereupon he received a lltt'e abuse from Vaughn, which provklng an angry altercation at last, gave rise to a serious difficulty. After a lew hand-strokes, McCoy knocked Vanghu down, and taking his knife from his pocket, fell on him and carved him in a most savage aud brutal manner Besides some comparatively slight wounds on the arm, he cut Vaughu iu the eye, made a fear- ful gash oirthe temple, spilt his nose wide open, made an inuission on his shoulder, aud stabbed him fearfully, if not fatally, iu the side near the ninth rib, the wound taking effect in the neighborhood ot ths attachment of the diaphragm. Dr. J. Stain back Wilson,who examined the wound, pronounces it very dangerous, aud possibly, fatal. At last ac counts, the negro was iu a critical condition. The pocket knife with which Vaughu was stabbed, and which was afterwards taken lrotn the pocks* of McCoy, was. a burnt, dull, b-dly worn two-bladed knife, and bears upon it tbe mark of blood. McCoy is now iu cuatodsy awaiting the result xsC the wounds sustained by Vaughn in the muiderojfc affray. When these are known, he will be tried bo- 'ore Justice E. R. Sasseen.

Wade, of this city, ; neice of ex-Yice President Richard St Johnson, of Ken tucky, has consented' to deposit for a &me in thb Young Men’s Library, a superb sword, which, according to its in scription, was “Voted by the Congress of the United States to Col. Richard M. Johnsofi; in testimony of their sense of hi« gallantry in the battle of the Thames, in Upper Canada, 1 ’ fought October 5th, 1813. ■’ He, no doubt, was the man “who killed Tecum§eh,?’ who alone could rally the Indians as allies of the British in their warefare against us. That turned the tide of war in our behalf. The sword has a cimeter blade, the favorite of the Persians and Turks, and is most elegantly finished by the Damas keen process. The hilt seems to be al most solid gold, and is hand chased in original and significant designs. The scabbard is gold plated, with virgin gold bands, and is very elaborately hand chased. It is covered with medalion in signia of war, and symbols of Peace. Its original cost was not less’ than §1,500; but it now has a value that is inestima ble.

H Sharkey in a gambling hall last night.— Sharkey escaped. A complete list of the passengers of the Bienville shows there were sixty-two, which, with the crew, make about nine ty-two persons. Thirty-Bix are still to be heard from. Seven persons were drowned when one of the boats capsized on leaving the vessel, and nine more were drowned in the surf at Elntheria. It is hoped the thirty-six who are in the boat not heard from yet have been saved, as there has been but little wind and a slight sea, and the boat is adrift in one of the great highways of commerce, where it is likely to be picked up. A Stonington dispatch says 107 have been saved from the wreck of the Metis. Twenty-seven are known to be dead, and twenty-three are missing. Albany, N.
