To this the Richmond Enquirer
replys-"We cheerfully close with the
above Proposition. We have neveg
been DESTROYS Of making this agitating
subject Party Question. We statea
in our last paper, thai il ought not to
be so considered. Whatever might
have been our fears ofthe political des

yield our fears if they will yield their
designs. The whole subject ought in
deed to be s,ript ofall party allusious.
There should on this subject at least,
be no Van Burenism, Calhounism, Clay
ism, Whi.eism, or any other sort Of pos
iilical ism. We hail with great plea
sure the sentiment which is now mani
Testing itself in the South. There was
no party spirit in the organization OF
the Committee-none in the Public
Meeting Of this City on Tuesday last
none in the Debate-the Resolutions
adopted-nor any in the Commitleesof
Vigilance, which has been selected by
the Chairman. Both parties are now
ing together. A similar spirits ac-

find Nash and Hopkins side by side
with Crump and Miller. Petersburg
is displaying the same unanimity. The
notice for Public Meeting is signed
conjoinily by Haines lof the Constsl-
lation aud Wilson (of the Intelljgen, i
cer) as Secretaries-and it is addresses
to the heads Of families aoithout dis
tinction of party.-Let the Northern
Fanatics witness this harmony Of feel
ing and concert of movements, and be
warned in time. We hope the South
will move as one solid phalanx-asone
man.
Away, then, with all party discoras
and with all species Of wrangling
upon subject which so deeply affects
the interests of all the South! Let
the only contest be, who shall most
effectually preserve the South from in-
cendiaries, and the Union itself from
the consequences Of their misdeeds. -
Let US discountenance all attempts, az
the "Virginian" suggests, to "identify it
with the Presidential Election" Let
our great ambition be, who shall best.
preserve the South against the Fana-
tics of the North-who shall best
guard our rights and interests against
their unholy machinations-anG who
shall best preserve the Union, as long
as it can be consistent with our sacred
rights and the safety Of our families
But in making these exertions, we
have right to demand, as we most
earnestly hope, that our brethren Of
the North will actively cooperate with
US. They should exert themselves TO
put do,0n the Fanatics Ito scout their
designs, to paraIyze their efforts, and
to drive the Emissary Thompson
from the soil which he is defling with
bis presence.
We close, then, with the Propositions
ofthe "Virginian"-and we shall faith
fully carry il out. We cheerfulIy accept
the olive branch, and shall avoid all
political illusions, unless we shall be
forced into them by the party acts or
faclious designs Of Others"
To this we also agree; and do hope,
that we shall hear nothing more about
''instructing' Tyler and Leigh. Then
instead of endeavoring to withdraw such
men from the councils of the nation, for
fear that their presence in the Senate of
the U. States may not be agreeable to
Martin Vaa Buren,, or Andrew Jackson,
let them be unanimously supported, for
they are the very men for the south at
this time, and Mr.. Van Buren, and Gen.
Harrison, but TRIPLES to this great con.
Germ of the whole people of the Union.
There will be patriotism enough found in
the Senate and House Representatives.
