The Richmond Enquirer, referring to the
fact that there will be an overwhelming
majority Of democrats in the next House of
q Representatives, draws The following con-
trast between The two parties
I lin view OF this gratifying and glorious
fact Democrats North aud South should
feel that they have in themselves a sure and
safe protection from abolition agitation in
the next Congress and at once dismiss
whatever the sectional animnsity has divi-
ded them in past. Ii ScocSSioaiSis--that is
to say, Democrats who seek to preserve the
Union, by maintaining the rights of the
States and resisting the consolidating scheme
of Federaism--will aid the great republican
constitutional party of the country TO repel
tbe assaults OF the Wing aud free.soil par
ties upon the constituuon-all will vet be
wtil-the Constitution viii I've maintained
and the Union saved Ii is in the power OF
Southern Democrats, by uniting with the
sound Democracy OF the Uuion upon the
broai, catholic, national platform of NoN.IN-
TERvENTIoN-the platform of Baltimore
the platform Of 'iS, of '4i of the olden re-
publican time, OF Jeilersonian era-to make
all well again with the country---to restore
peace--to subdue jealousy-to rekndIe in
the breasts of the honest and patriotic men,
who have been temporary alienated from it,
their original affection for the Unlon-io
diltuse universal confidence in its perma-
Eency, and to impart fresh impetus to the
llonrishing interest and miraculous progress
of our great Republic. Harmony OF the
Democratic party for the sake Of the country
must now be our watchword We doubt

Baltimore platform again erected the
North, the South, the East and the West
raIlying fraternalIy upon it; and the flag of
Union floating trnmphantly over it, That
is the platform of the National Democracy
--oi State sovereignty--ot republican iber-
~ and the platform of the CONSTITUTION.
On the the other hand, how potent for
saving the Union will be the whig party in
the approaching Congress Eighty-Rve In
two hundred and thirty-three is the full mea-
sure of their strength for Union If this
be the only Union party in the comfy
What sad number of disunoniss fills the
land If the Union and Constitution, and
every thing good and valuable in our insti-
tutions, rest upon their shoulders, how de-
plorabIe is the pfedicament Of all Of them,
just now! What grand inducements does
the puissant plight for good, OF the whig
party, hold out to the friends of the Union
to join their ranks What harmony, of
quiet and safety, among old men-of social
progress, State honor national dignity, and
American supremacy, among young men
to fraternize with them!
party under whose imbecIe and pod-
ding administration of affairs, the Confeder-
acy has been well nigh rent in twain-the

national Congress, seeking to infringe the
Constitution by every measure of its policy
but impotent TO carry any measure, the

Virginia, who are about to assume the high

upon the peculiar inducements and attrac-
