We shall uct handy epiiheis with the Albany
Atlas. bu: We would have that paper 10 under
stand that VIC and no enc else are responsible Tor
the opinions which we shall continue boldly to
maintain. The Atlas therefore, has no right TO
assail the Unior for any expressions which Inc
ENQUIRER NAV maintain. We think and speak
for ourselves, and ask no ono 10 share lie nary
blows Of The Atlas. Indeed, we are high'y
amused at that psrci's attacks upon "thc andaci-
"" Of "a dynasty al The Scu;h," IN aTowihS us
sentiments on The freDrand, Wilmot ProViso.
Was il "auisci;y"in the dynasty" ollhe South"
10 sustain distinguished son CT New YORK, when
his own State Of New York abandoned han 10
his iale7 Virginia occupies the same posllion
now as then. 1t stands up now for The consli'u-
lonal rights of Ill portions OF the county, as II
did al that lime, when The Atlas party did not
madly, as now, reject her aid, nor scoff at her
principles. Virginia has never deserted the
cherished doctrines OF The Republican party; and
the disorganizing leaders in New York should ex-
hib lille more mcdesly and justice in their
unfounded assaults upon The lnvlnciole Guard OF
the Republican Army.
We pass over The Atlas attacks, and would
advise little more caution on the part OF mat
journal especially the acts OF its associates al
Herkimer are subject 10 The most complete ieiu-
talion and exposure. We have no time at pre-
sen, 10 analyzc The Hcrki,ner resolutions; bul we
cannot refrain from noticing Tie g'arins ncon'
gruiy between The frs! and The second resolution.
In The first, the HeEkimcr leaders make The prin-
c;ple Of The Wimoi Proyiso ian inHpara6sc ele-
men, OF their political crccd;" and in the second,
they resolve that if the expressed determination
Of IA portion" OF the Democrats Of The SCUM 10
make the Wilmol Provso a lest, should be per-
sisted in, and become general, they will be Obliged
10 adopt counierdeclaration! Why lhey hau
already proclaimed that The Proviso expressed
truly the opinions and determination OF The Demo
cracy o! New York, and proclaimed ii an 'nss'
pcroEie element Of their political creed!
Blu, these disorsanzcrs will fail in their object
10 defeat The National Democratic party oil Inc
! Union, and at The same time throw the blame IN
advance on others. The sound Democrats Of
the North already see that there is no reciprocity,
as these Herkimer resolutions Imply, IN the posi-
ton of the North ard the South on this SUBJECT
We are contendins fer our constitutional rish's;
they for the privilege of deprvins us oil them;
and that loo, in case in which these rights are
invaluable 10 US, and the destruction Of them OF
no value 10 our assailan,s. The South asks only
,us,icc at The hands Of the Union-and we ce-
lieve that The sound Democracy OF The North
will, as in times past! see their real interest ana
their true honor in standing by the Constitution
and the right.
We can assure the Philadelphia News that we
have no desire 10 foment quarrel between ''seh
and the Richmond Republican. Our sole OBJECT
was 10 inform our neislbor Of The policy set TORN
BY lis Wing belhren a. in the seats OF political
Influence al the North. We hope We may mol be
charged with intrusion, il we once more refer 10
the nos iions OF tie News. Il does not object TO
the discussion, now, Of The relative merits oil can
didars. with reference 10 their "pecuilar claims
upon lie Wig party" Acknowledges lis respect
for The opinions o.. the Republican, but expresses
its balicf that while he The Republican, argues
no,r in favor Of one who has shed bright luslre
upon the American arms he will hereafter be
found battling as faithfully for The regular nomi-
nee. of The Wigs OF the nation, for the Preiidcu-
CO. Fortunately, the Wings have many 10 choose
from, who are worthy Of the high trust"
Yesterdays Whi-, also, in an article based on
the stronges, reasoning, fires Paiahan slo into
the "no party" party, and repeats 'lhe hope, here
tofore expressed, ,ha! Gen. Taylors friends, per

opnonents, will torego their objections 10 ii:ai

by such concert Of action thai even Gen. Taylor

Blu, all these appeals, these alternate coaxinss
and threats, seem TO have no effect upon The

the "no-pariy" journals. Mondays Republican
surveys the whole field from the high ground it
has assumed, and vows lha. il will "never sar-
