Abolitionists as GIDDINGs," BooTH,
DoTY, DuRKEE, ALLEN, PREsToN KING,
and WILMoT. Then the senior editor
was ripe for it. To bring "slayeholding
Wings" into such communion was base
and infamous, shameless cheat; but to
bring "slaveholding Locofocos" into that
very "political communion" was an
object sufficiently important, interesting
and honorable, to tax to the utmost the
skill, tact, and experience of the repre-
sentative of the elite of the Richmond
Democrats. To see how that would
"work"-to keep an "eye" OH that-was
all right.
1t appears from the above paragraph
from the Union, written as long ago as
last August, that the senior editor saw
how the thing might be done, if the WHIGs
would consent to enter into any combina-
tons with their opponents. The mere
thought of such thing fired the indigna-
ton of the senior editor. 1t infamed the
mind of that pure and sincere man to
such an extent, that he could only relieve
himself by the election of large number
of strong adjectives, violent verbs, and
offensive nouns substantive. After COM
posing himself somewhat by this process,
he forthwith began TO "keep his eye" on
the object of his wrath, with serene stead
mess of purpose. Gradually, his indig-
nant virtue cooled. Long thinking on
the subject induced him to believe that it
was not so bad scheme after all. AT
length, his vestal purity was quite under
mined; his lamb-like innocence became
the prey Of the tempter. Richie fell
The crime that he looked upon with
such unfeigned adherence, when it was
first suggested to his spotless Imagination,
he at length learned to endure-to pity
to embrace ! What an awful lesson
When such immaculate humanity yields to
temptation, who can call himself safer
There are two or three things that we
want the senior editor to do; and we will
do as much for him with pleasure, at any
time. We ask but little, and we are al
ways ready to reciprocate courtesies. We
want him TO rpu6Hsh the above article
from his own columns, in his own col
umns. It is not asking much of gen.
tleman to ask him to republish his own
article, particularly when he is such a
master of style as is our venerable contem-
porary.
Then we desire our virtuous friend to
republish another paragraph from his own
columns, in which he speaks of w. J..
BRowN as the "favorite candidate of the
Republican party for the Speakership."
And then, if it would not be too much
trouble, we would be obliged to him if he
would Tepublish the paragraph in which
he claims to be ssnot ashamed of his rela-
tons" with Mr.. Brown, and tell us
what he mentioned to Mr.. Brown about
saying nothing, and folding his arms.
Fit accompaniment to these will be the
"last card" of Mr.. w. j. Brown to his
constituents, in which he manifests his
disgust at the "slaveocracy" just before he
voted for Mr.. Conn for the Speakership
II the Union is not disposed to do this
for its readers, we shall be obliged to do
it ourselves. In return we will republish
just as much matter from our own col
umns as the Union may desire to see re-
