Opposition Impudence. The coolest piece of impudence and effront ify we havo lately witnessed, is the attempt of the Opposition papers to hold the Demo- wade party responsible for the passage of amendment to the Massachusetts Contd. on, requiring tarn years' residence after naturalisonon, before being entitled to a vote. The whole country knows that the entire Desnocratie party of Massachusetts can almost be stowed away in a packet boat, and that the Stets is overwhelmingly "Republican" in its politiest and yet they pretend to hold the handful of Democrats who live there respon :•sible fur the odious amendment.

VPOTORT Virecis. th• other of *sties sad of Pro. idots, Is still, as she has 'Tar boo, true to tbe Democratic faith. From time to erne. says the Frederick Citizen, strenuous efforts hare been made by the Opposition to sedum her from the doctrines taught by her early petriots, heroes and statesmen, bat under all, even the most favorable prospects, the schemes and hopes of the Oppositions have failed. In 1840 the insidious and fierce attack of the ul4 Whig party had well nigh leveled the Demo cratic flag in the dust. But even "Tippeea noe and Ty ler too," could not conquer the honest Democracy of that proud cid common wealth. In that memorable contest, when so many other Democratic States gave way, Vir ginia stood true to her ancient faith. We have not thus, at the writing of this article, to refer to the election returns of that me morable election, but we know that Mr. Van Buren carried the State by less than 1,400. Again its 1843, confiding in the unbounded personal popularity of a great military chief tian, the Opposition made another desperate effort to win Virginia from the doctrines of her founders, but neither the falsehoods of the enemy nor the popularity of the hero chieftein could accomplish the coveted object of the "Opposition," and Virginia remained firm and stezulfast in old and lung Cher ; ishea political .doctrines. The majority fur !Omens! Cuss in la-is was only 1,500. Ou each of these occasions the Opposition felici tated itself ilia% they were so near carrying that good old Democratic comtgonweslth. Elections for Governor and fur Congressmen, however often they may have occurred, hare demonatruteae—no matter how variant the majorities fur this or that Democratic candi d..tte.ethe same uniform and unmistakable fact that Virginia was all the time thorough. ly sad radically wedded to the Democratic faith. If, however, there ever was a contest in that stronghold of Democracy which in its antece dents was calculated to excite the apprehen sions of - those Democrats out of hcr, borders who had always looked to her with unfalter ing trust, it was the one which has just ter minated in the triumphant election of bones& John Lecher es Governor. Why do we say so? Because, first, no man had ever been so virulently assailed by loading politicians and presses of his own party before Ins nomina tion—and, secondly, became for the greater and most Important part of the campaign he was confined to his home by sickness and un able to meet his wily and unscrupulous com petitor on the stump before the people. And yet in spite of tha injustice done him by a certain factious portfien of bis own party be fore his nomination—which they were unable and, possibly, unwilling to atone for after wards,..s.nd in spite of the fact that he was prevented by sickness from meetingjtis an tagonist on the stump, except in two at three instances, be bag been elected by a maiority of upwards of 4,500. We bail the result in Virginia as a most conclusive and overwhelming evidence of the fact that the Democracy of that State is stronger to-day than it has been fur many years. In view of the character of the op position to Mr. Latcher's nomination. the Bourne from whence it came, and the motives which dictated it—and considering also tha fact that be was unable to malts a personal canvass of the State—we insist that no man has ever in that State achieved a more bril liant victory. The Democrat* have elected twelve of the thirteen Congressmen. Bowler defeats Faulk ner. The Legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic. A Move on the Political Chess Board. The last number of the Delaware County Republican contains a column of editorial in favor of John )1. Reed for President in 180. We have it from good authority that a secret movement has been in progress for some time, and that letters have passed between political wire.workers in many of the States, with the view of forestalling the Cameron movement by concentrating upon Mr. Reed. It is very certain that Mr. Cameron's friends have be some seriously a/armedat some things, of late, and are considerably uneasy. 'genie national Democracy is the only organization which, in this country, has stood last and firm. It stands now where it always stood. Buffeted and.hesieged, stiU it is as steady as the rock of the ocean that stems a thousand wild waves on the shore. Around its organization will cluster again in 1860, as they did. in 1856, the conservative influences of public opinion—making their voice known as the decision of the majority of the Ansel- Calf PLOPLA. Leff the Night Owls.—The Hon. George Eustis, of New Orleans, who recently married Miss Corcoran, of Washington. declines to be a candidate for re-election to Congress, and announces his determination to act hereafter with the Democracy.

The ilfishingtois Comelitution, of the Oth slt., had sn excellent article entitled, ."Popu lar Sovereignty vs. The Missouri Compro. Niise." It hrielly glances at the rise of the slavery question—at the momentous debate of 1853, and at the adoption of the popul.tr vereignty doctrine in the Compromise Acts of 1650 and the Kansas-Seliraska Act of Thee concede to the people of the Territories the d u ty and thu right of dealing exclusively with the geestion of lavory,—" suhjeut only to the provisions of the Constitution"—and the tribunal to expound the Tighten( the peo ple under the Constitution is the Supreme Court. Thir WO decided that the Constitati‘n protects shire property in the TerritorieB. The Con.sl;bilion then remarks as to the new issues which hare been broached in oer t.ain quarters " This was the groat triumph of Popular Sovereignty in 18,54. It was the triumph of principle over arbitrary power—the triumph of the CAlstitution over the usurpatory edicts of Congress, Thu Democratic party, which has ever proved itself equally the friend of the Constitution and the advocate of the en joyment, in their full irtegrity, of all the rights of property of our people everywhere, has assumed the ground of non-interference with slavery in State arid Territory, and in the District of Columbia, On this position we plant ourselves. The abstract questiori of protection to slave property in the Territo ries by Congress, on the one hand, and the power of the people of a territory to adopt unfriendly legislation, on the other, are Dot living issue'. The intention of those who are now press ing these respective views monut be other than to destroy the harmony of the Democra tic party. It is certain that it can be produc tive of no practical good. It is certain that no alaveholder in any Territory is asking Congress to interfere for his protection ; and it is equally certain that the people of the Territories are not invoking the opinion of politicians'as to the extent of their power to trtl.ct a blow upon any of their citizens in the quiet enjoyment of any property which they may possess and which is recognized by the Constitution. We, therefore. say this ques tion is behind us. It is no longer an issue. It is settled, and the best interests of the re public demand that this source of sectional strife should not be reopened. Let it be con signed to the Tomb of the Capulets. The great interests of this great nation require the whole time, talents, energies, and attention of our stsassmen. Kansas, formerly the great feeder cf excitement, is quiet. The constitu tional rights of all our people throughout our vast country are properly secured and Bear ded. Let the people, then, demand that their public servants shall abandon a fruitless and dangerous discussion, and come up manfully to strengthen the hands of an Administration which is striving to maintain the rights of oar people abroad, uphold our good name among the nations of the earth, and open mar kets everywhere for our products, which will stimulate domestio industry, and develope the resources of a free and happy country. ' A Water Spout on the Prairie. Yerribk .Destruction of Lift and Property. —The telegraph has already furnished um with a brief account of a severe tornado at lowa City, but a letter from that place to the N. Y. Tribune, dated May 25, gives these par ticular*: Last evening, while yet it was light, there arose soddenly a violent wind, accompanied by strong indications of rain. In a few mo menta the whole horizon became pitchy black, and the must vivid lightning darted athwart the sky. A terrible thunder storm burst upon us. While yet it was raging tearfully the sky suddenly appeared unclouded in the east for a space several inches in width.— Many of oar citizens discovered, indistinctly at first, the rapid approach of an immense waterspout. The phenomenon was so unus ual that the attention of hundreds was drawn to it. The appearance of the huge volume of water as it reached from earth to sky—sway ing to and fro like a rope hung in the wind— was exceedingly grand. The water-spout re mained in sight nearly fifteen minutes, when the sky becoming obscured, it was lost sight of. Scarcely an hoer elapsed before news was brought that Jesse Berry, a member of oar common council, had been killed in„a barn, which was thrown down by the riulence of the wind and water. The next express from the country brought I , us iuformatiou that a family by the name of Morgan. three in number. )tad been ',truck —two of its members killed instantly. and the mother so seriously injured that it is thought impossible for her to recover. Two men, whose names I could not learn, were killed instantly. Many have had their legs or arms broken, and others have suffered from contusions and fractures, occasioned by the fall of houses which had been blown down upon them. The water-spout seems to have been from thirty to forty feet in diameter, and to have destroyed a large amount of property. Its extent was from seven to ten miles, and it is said to have traveled with grearrapidity. In one instance a barn of Mr. Berry's was taken from its foundation, carried some three hun dred yards, thrown down and crushed into a thousand fragments. A child of Mr. Walsh was taken up and carried nearly five hundred ' yards, thrown into a slough. but, strange to say. escaped with its life. The spout appea red like an immense funnel, and it seemed very near, for the :whirl and sparkle of the water could be plainly seen. Oa the same day a similar tornado passed over a portion of Illinois. A dispatch irons Jacksonville says: As far as heard from, it began in Calhoun county, carrying everything, men, house*, barns, fences, trees and cattle with it, from Manchester to a distance of twelve miles, directly northeast. We can count tbirty-eix dwelling-houses, with all the barns and out houses, destroyed. The number of killed, as far as heard from, are Mrs. Route, a son of Get). Vaa 'Alines, Samuel Brown, a Portuguese in the employ of Mr. Route, Jonathan Car lisle, JacoliSanaple and wife, and a kl r. Thom as.

To give an idea of the form of the storm, I nave in my possession a stone weighing three pounds that was lifted up and carried silty feet, passing through a window four teet from the door. The door and partition of a school room, twenty by thirty feet. was car ried away, with heavy timber, and all cannot be found within two miles of the place. A wind mill was carried over four hundred yards, with pipes, pumps, dc., the small end foremost. There is not ten feet square with in the route of the storm that has not rails, boards, ke.. stack in the ground, so that no one can easily pull them out. Whole parti tions of house. are gone and cannot be found. A man riding in a field was blown from his horse, the saddle torn off and carried about two miles from the place. No one can form an idea of the terrible ef fects of this storm. whim lasted but five min utes. with but little rain.

When tbla neighborhood was canvassed for subscriptions to the stook of the Gettysburg RaiWad Company, several Jean ago, it was predicted by the advocates of the enterprise that the Lime business alone would pay • large proportion of the interest on the invest ment, The ineredulous laughed at the pre diction as vastly over-wrought, and not to be realised to anything like the extent antiei pved by the more sanguine. But look at th • result already had :—Duriug the month of May. just past, 1,344.62:1 pounds, or about 1'7,00t) bombe's, of Lime, were received at Gettysburg Station. on which the freight amounted to $.196 59. Besides this, large quantities of Lime and Lime Stone were taken to Hanover during the month, yielding a considerable revenue. Notwithstanding the large amount of Lime brougfit to this place, the suppky was not up t) the demand-.-proLably double the number of bushels could have been sold. To accom modate the better this growing trade, the Company have purchased several additional Lime Cars, and will soon put down another Switch, for the Lime and Coal business. MI • rot Dart reT ed .

On Wednesday afternoon last, the body of a white male infant, well developed, was dis covered by some boys in the Run where it crosses "Love Lana," near Bock Creek.

An inquest was held by Justice ARNOLD, and a verdict of death from unknown causes rendered. It is not known whether the child was born alive or not. No suspicion, so far as we are inform ed, has as yet fixed itself upon any one as being the guilty party in this heartless deed of infanticide. Pa'chile.

The most destroetive bail storm that ever occurred in this county, visited portiiins of it on Monday last, about 4, P. M. The rain descended in torrents in this vicinity, scam pealed by a " sprinkling " of hail, butpro-I , duced no damage worth mentioning beyoud i the " washing" of several corn fields. In the neighborhood of Ilunterstown, however, and from that point south-eastward, by New thfo rd, as far as Hanover, and north-westward as 'Middletown and Bendersvillo, the hail came down with terrific force, cutting off , and crushing all the growing grain and grass ; in its course, and rendering utterly worthless , hundreds, yea thousands of acres, which but a moment before promised an almost un paralledly heavy yield. A more pitiable ; sight the enterprising husbandman never before had presented to his eye. Farm after farm, to the breadth of a mile or more, and probably a course of eighteen or twenty miles in length, are entirely devastated, as though an instantaneous blight had stricken them. The wheat and rye were rendered perfectly headless—the grass as though closely postured—whilst the oats and eons were mown level with the earth. From scores of wheat and rye fields which came fully within the range of the storm, not a bushel of grain can be expected, so complete is the destruction. The hail, much of It, was SO binge as a hultled walnut. and in places it washed to. Bother to the depth of several feet--so thick that on Tuesday evening all had not yet melted. The amount of loot is hardly to be estimated in dollar" and cents, and the visitation will fall with almost crushipg weight upon many a renter—:-many who depended with certainty upon the yields of their flourishing crops to enable them to meet their financial engage ments. But by an within its immediate scope will this extraordinary btorm be loug remembered, and the sincere wish entertain ed that they "may never look upon its like again," la addition to the destruction of the grain and grass crops on the course indicated above, the fruit is ruined, the- gardens are blighted, and no little injury is dune to buildings beyond the ordinary breaking of window lights which attends the heavy fall ing of hail. Many of the forest trees aro also shorn of much of their foliage. We are told that in the neighborhood of Flohr's Church, on the Chambersburg Turn pike, the hail also did considerable damage to the grain and grass on several farms. To give our readers an idea of the charac ter of the storm at Ilanover and in the lower and of tlois county, we clip the following from the Hanover Spectator:— The hail stones which fell in the borough ratite tired some of them, four mar: half inches in circumference, many of them were the size of hickory nuts, while most of them were abent the size of musket bullets. They were hard and solid lumps of ice, and descended with terrine force and tremendous effect. It is es timated that from three to four thousand panes of window glass were shattered within the liesite of the town. Our office and dwelling suffered to the extent of 57 panes and many of our neighbors fared as badly. The Luth eran Church lost, we are t01d.1211 panes. In other parts of the borough the effects of the storm were more disastrous still. On Ab bottstown street near the Railroad a brick beildiost io the 110111116 of.areseicra and 3 sally for the roof, the property of Mr. Jacob Myers, was nearly demolished by the partial destruc tion of the walls, involving we should sup pose a very considerableuniary loss. The Roof of Mr. Davis Garber's pec livery stable wits' likewise injured, though not we belie, e to a serious extent. We are informed that the roof of a freight ear on the Gettysburg Rail row] was turn away by the storm, and we are aitthorised to state the almost incredible fact that a number of holes were actually driven through the sheet iron roofing of a building belonging to the Hanover B. R. R. Co. so unpreftdently violent was the descent of t he hail. A gentleman belonging to York had his hands severely out by the hail in front of Mr. H. A. Webb'. grocery store, on Broadway Avenue. Mr. Michael Carl, resid ing on the Carlisle turnpike, was similarly injured while endeavoring to protect his tenon of , horses--tbe animals ware swollen as if stung by bees or hornets. A hail stone struck a dog running upon the rail track and he fell as though be had been shut. The roof of Messrs. Shirk & Slaee's powder hoase was carried off, and the gable end of Mr. Kinaig's barn destroyed. We hear of trees being broken down, fences fallen and many other effects of the storm in the neirb lsorhood. It raged with great violence in the country between this and. McSlierrystown.— Some of the hail stones were as large as hen's eggs and the destruction of property of vari ous kinds was considerable. At Mr:Sherry.- town the efforts were about the same as at Hanover. At New Oxford the storm was likewise ter rific and did immense damage, breaking glass, destroying gardens, stripping fruit trees, etc. Our correspondent at that place writes to us as follows : " Rain fell in torrents inun dating our town, in fact it was impossible to see across the square fur hail and rain. It was alarmingly furious and continued for about half an hour. The glass in some houses exposed to the storm was entirely de molished, the garden plants all cut to pieces, and the peaches, plums, gropes and cherries stfipped from the trees. Some supposed that the last day had surely come, arid one man was nearly frantic. When the storm had abated cart loads of hail could have been swept up, many of the pieces as large as shell barks. A few days ago farmers could speak of their crops in mosteasearaging terms, not now however—their grain lies firostrate and the stalks cut off. This is the case in this immediate vicinity. ,, There is reason for believing that the storm did not extend very far. It visited York, however, which is 18 miles distant. while Littlestown, which is but 7 miles distant, escaped. The York Gazelle, of Tuesday, says : Yesterday a ft ernoon, between three and four o'clock, our borough and vicinity were visited by one of the heaviest hail storms that bas occurred for many years in this neigh. borhood. The storm lasted fur nearly half an hour, and in some places the hail entirely covered the-ground.
