Among the letters read, was one from John
R@.dolph Fucker, Of Winchester, in this State.
Fleree eector in ls52, and of truilest sect
of the states ghts and Southern rights school.
What he says We commend TO the thoughtful at
tention OF his political friends in Virginia, and
especially to our neighbor Of the Republican.
1t is obvious, from their
past history, that the great idoa with the am Blu
rem section Is TO gain possession of the Demo-
cratic organization If your State, and through II
of TIA Of the country. The temporary elevation
Ia their state offices of the former friends of Gen
Ca=s, by a convention in which the Van 9nr.YI
pay nd the entire control, was an obvious mr3.

permanent asr aaaneY Of the Van Buren, flcti,5#
in the called sol, shelf Democracy. becomes
henoeiorth inevitable.
In this connection, cannot refrain from quo
ting the language of their most prominent orator
who unites To the renowned stTutegv of his fifth
er.the possession of a bold aud popular eo
quenee.
Mr.. John Van Buren, distinctly declared IN

coalition at Rome, the view, of himself and con
federates IN respect to that famous bargain

what we expect. We expect 10 make the DEM
ocratie party of this State the great anti.sln,ery
party OF this State, and through it 10 make the
Democratic party of the L. States the preat anti
slavery party of the L. States" Again he .p,.s
IN anwer to the question Whit way his views were
to be effected: mo more slave Stotcs-n, ,,,,,.,
slave Territories--the withdrawal the snnn,,t
OF the Federal Government from slavery and tbe
abolition OF II, wherever IL can be reached Nv

no power TO touch it within the States where Il

such was the end proposed,und such the mems
devised by this gentleman and his adherent.
The elid was total abolition, by federal action aY

Now, let it be borne in mind, that Mt the finn
he avowed these sentiments, he was striving Ia
bring about coalition with that section of tho
Democracy who wholly differed with him ON this
