The Cincinnati Times and its Irish Know-Nothing Editor--A Word to Virginians.

The Cincinnati Times comes to us this week-decked out in all the paraphernalia of humbugery to its followers in Virginia, greeting. It has a half globe at the head of every column with the flag of our country waving over it-that same flag which its followers disgraced by placing it over the smoke and flames of the ballot-box in the eleventh ward in Cincinnati, which they destroyed for the purpose of trampling upon the rights of the majority, as expressed by it. Underneath these flags are short addresses to each Congressional district in the State. We extract a part of the address to district No. I:

"It will be the endeavor of our party to put through at the next session of Congress over the veto of President Pierce some American measures, and if the Virginia delegation prove of the right character, it can be done."

What are the measures which the American party wish to put through over the President's veto? Why, the repeal of the Kansas and Nebraska Bill and the Fugitive Slave Law! Every man they have elected at the North is pledged to this and they have sworn to do it. We ask Virginians if they are prepared for this We ask them if they are willing to be led to the polls under this foreign renegade editor--the candidate of the party who were beaten in Cincinnati; the originator and defender of the bloody and disgraceful scenes that transpired on that occasion the man who was kicked into oblivion by the voters of his own city; who is known to be an Abolitionist of the deepest dye and who approves of the law passed by Massachusetts compelling the poor men of the State to send their children to school upon an equality with the negro, while they deny the use of these same schools to the children of native white citizens who are Catholics: the defender of Blackwell the kidnapper, who snatched a negro from the possession of her mistress who was traveling through his State, and in spite of her entreaties to be let alone to accompany her mistress; she was not permitted to do so, but was forced to leave her home, where she was well cared for, to starve among her fanatical abolition abductors- this is the man who dares to interfere with the sovereign rights of the voters of Virginia, and tries to excite their passions blunt their sensibilities, destroy their State pride, and prepare them for the same disgraceful acts which has rendered notorious his fanatical followers at home.

We are sorry to see this paper circulated by men calling themselves Virginians We call upon them to pause and reflect. We ask them can they approve of the course pursued by its editor? Ought such things to be tolerated in this State? Is he a guide for Virginians to follow ?

We know that many honest men suffer their passions and prejudices, under excitement, to over-ride their reason, and they are led to do things that in their calmer moments they would abhor and detest. We call upon them to reflect. Are they willing to fraternize with such a man? Do not they loath and detest the acts of their party in the free States? We believe that if they do not now, they will, and that at no distant day repent in "sackcloth and ashes." We call upon every voter in this District to rise up, as one man, and set their seal of condemnation upon him and his vile paper. Say to him, we know you not--back to your hellish crew.! The leader of a lawless mob; the approver of the destruction of the ballot-box; the foreigner who would head a party sworn to take away his rights as a citizen; the approver of the law which puts the children of the poor and laboring white man upon an equality with negroes, and denies to the white children of Catholic native citizens the right to be schooled at all, is no guide for us. Rise up, freemen of Virginia, and let your voices be heard!

The cause of Henry A. Wise is your cause. We verily believe that his defeat at this time, would be the death-knell of the Union, and this is why fanatics and Abolitionists hate him, and are trying to entice you to defeat him. Remember that whatever may be your opinions on the subject of slavery, you are Southern men.- The cause of the South is your cause. The evils of a servile war in our midst will fall with the same death-destroying weight upon you as it will upon, the wealthiest slave-owner in the land. That same God who sends the rain upon the just and the unjust in this world, has so ordained that when war, pestilence and famine invade a land, the virtuous and vicious share alike its evils and miseries. If you give aid and counsel to this fanatical set in the free States, you seal your own doom. - As well might a pious missionary, burning with a holy but misguided zeal for the propagation of the Gospel, fire the dome of a heathen temple that its wretched and idolatrous inmates might perish in the flames and himself expect to escape by the miraculous interposition of heaven, than for a Southern man whatever his thoughts or belief may be, upon the subject of slavery, to aid in kindling a servile war and imagine he can escape the blood and carnage, and horrors that would ensue.
