Partles---How they Stand.

For years, says the Richmond Enquirer, the poiti-
cal skies have been lowering and stormy, and por-
tentious Of disastrous future Suddenly unex-
pectedly the clouds have passed off, the has re-
turned and all looks cheering and hopeful. At the
very moment when we feared that sectional parties
would be formed, that North and South would meet
IN hostile array the very opposite of all this has
happened. The audacous excuses of the infdel
and agraran lsms, have aroused the conservatism Of
the North into action. And behold, Maine and
Pennsylvania are vieing with Virginia and Georgia
in deep utteance of their detestaton and adherence
of the common enemy. We peOple-one in
language, in thought, in interest in religion, in
ment, in feeling. In Europe, each little Province
and County has its separate language, habits GUS
toms and manner of thoughts. Here you cannot dis
nguish the citizen of Boston from the citizen of New
Orleans. All speak English and speak it well. All
hold nearly the same opinion as to human rights, as
to religion, law, government and morality. The
lsms alone form distinct and separate class and
party and these Isms have at last been brought TO
organize themselves into compact body. They are
the party of the Opposition. The Democrats aided
by the conservative Wings of the North and of the
South. and by all that is respectable and reliable in
Southern Know Nothing ism, constitute the party of
the country and of the Administration. Instead,
then, of sectional parties, we arrayed against
each other the destructiveS and the conservatives
the fnfdels and the Christians, the Agrarians and
the Respecers of Property, the icentous opponents
OF marriage and the upholders of that pure, sacred
and holy institution. Oily-Gammon Seward, and
Praise God Barebones Sumner with their hosts mere
vile, vicious and ragged than those that Fastaf led
TO Shrewsbury, conquer all that is virLous, reli
glous, moral or patriotic in the Union! We believe
not. We think that the unexpected formation of
new parties of the Destructves UerSuS the Conserv
atlves, without regard 10 section, is the happiest
event that that has occurred to America since the
Revolution. We venture TO congratulate our readers
that the SKIES ARE BRIGHT AND FRIGHTENING -
Still we must be prepared for the worst. The signs
may be deceptive and fallacious. The clouds and
the storm may return, and the South may have to re-
ly on her own resources and fight her own battle.
Let her be prepared to do so.
