OUR NEW ALLY.

The first No. OF the Richmond Examiner, pub.
ished by Messrs De Win & Wright made lis
appearance yesterday |, is filled with vigorous
editorial. and well written communications, and
We welcome it as an efficient ally in the great
cause of Virginia principles. The type and pa
per are OF The best and neatesl character, and,
without compliment, we may congratulate our
neighbors upon publishing the handsomest paper
in the city. We regret that we have not room
Tor a longer extraet-but are forced TO confine
ourselves to The following passages in The Editors
admirable salutaory. They express our senl-
mems and views precisely, and show That The
Examiner and The Enquirer will fight side by
side in The hearty and united defence Of the Re-
publican party:
alt will cherish The maxim of the Apostle of
American Democracy, that Government was
Instituted for the benefit of the governed, and
consequently, that its power is not property in
those who administer il, but a trust for the public
good II will be al all times ready TO oppose any
&C, Of the General Government, which il shall
view as an encroachment upon the rights OF The
States; and equally ready TO resist any PROPOSE
ton, coming from any quarter, which may threat
en- Inc integrity oil Inc Union. upon Inc question
Of peculiar concern to the South, now so unwisely
agita'ed in The Northern States, il will endeavor
10 discharge its duty honestly and fearlessly -
Editors should be faithful scntincis of the people
like watchmen On the walls of besieged city,
they should sound the alarm at the approach OF
danger. On that question, The EXAMINER will con-
tend for The rights of the South, as guaranteed in
the Constitution, The sacred charter Of the liberties
Of our country. Il will consent 10 no ncO com.
promise or restriction of our rghs. The
SlaveholdiDg States already stand committed 10
100 great concession Of their rights. They can
not, with safety or honor, surrender any more
than they have done in The Missouri Compro-
mi1.
"Confding in the honesty, capacity and fidelity
OF the present national Administration, we shall
extend 10 il cordial and hearty support. Upon
the great political questions which have so long
divided this country, ii has faithfully redeemed
the pledges that brought, il into power; and the
wisdom, firmness and patriotism which have
marked lis general course, enlitle il to the conf
dence of The American people without regard to
party. Thus believing, it will be our duty 10 de-
fend ii agaips, the assaults of the opposition,
whether those assaults be made upon the Ad-
nislralion for its vigorous prosecution OF jus.
war with a foreign enemy, or for its faithful ad-

This though not quite striking as the services in
that town of Pennsylvania where each soldier was
presented with bible and bowie knife, at the same
time is yet striking enough. 1t reminds us of John
Newton and his religious exercises while on the deck
of his ship off the coast of Africa waiting for cargo
of slaves The incongruiy is quite as great. Often
sve War and Religion as inconsistent as slave
trading and Religion To put the gospel of Christ in
to the hands ofmen sent forth to fight their fellow be-
ings, to STAY them and theirs, and lay waste their
country, seems almost like irony. One would suppose
that loving enemies and doing them good would be
the last virtues to inculcate in such connection, as
they certainly are the last which war permits to be
put in practice. If it apprehended that the BIZ
bes and prayer books given to these soldiers could
have their legitimate influence upon them, no doubt
they would be as carefully guarded against as the
duke OF Wellington guards his soldiers against tenn
perance societies; but it is felt that there is danger
