ANOTHER GREAT PARTY.

ANOIBEH GhEAT PANTY.
We have lately heard CREST deal s,cui new
parties in politics. and what with Know N,tning',
Know. Something, Say Notbipgs, (wh,t a nan-
berless aud powerful party tina. must cs,) in ad-
diion to all the ancient camps snd divisions, the
political arena just now presents very notified
aud incon appear il must he confessed.
All these parties, new aud Old, have their plat.
foIms, champions, organs motives, snd mo les Of
action an Of nOtoriety. They have their or ,tors
and newspapers, and know how to blow their
trumpets and gloiif their own greatness They
need no help from US But there is another
party, more respectable in character, more nu-
merous, too, perhaps, and certainly Of more
venerable age than any Of these new tangled ones,
which has never yet received the due public re,og-
milton This is q strange and even ssouching fact.
Flowers blush unseen, often because there 10 no.
BODY to see them; gres. geniuse, live and die ia
obfcuIity because opportunity and stimulus
never reveal them to the world; but 1t is new
thing that numerous body Of men, acting al.
ways in unity, AND aborDg for common political
licity Ike this, wi.bou. being even 80 much as
suspected. But 80 it shall be NJ longer. A
sense Of duty compels Us TO do jus.ics to modest
merit and tender Inconsistencies. We must re-
yeol this unknown psrIy to the world aud 10
itsef.
The latest and most sslemn public manfssts-
ton OF this moot interesting party is the procla
NATION Of his EIcelehcy Gov. Winston, Of Ala
bsms, sppoi1tiDg Saturday OF next week IS day
Of fasiirg humiliation, and prayer, On account of
the dislike to Slavery and its extsr sion, which is
opposed 20 prevril in the Free States. Ia this
act the Governor approves himself a genuine
me nibtr, or rather leader Of this great party.
He is deeply afflicted by 4" the gloomy aspect of
the political relations Of the Southern States"
He is alarmed 10 view Of q" the end to which
"political fanaticism at the North lie so rapidly
tending" Thus animated, or rather thus de-
pressed snd tsddens1, he appoints day for
the people of AlsbaH4; aud on nexs Saturday,
We doubt met the affecting services OF the day
Will be duly soleDnized
The idea of prayers and religious humilations
for the purpose of enistng the Heavenly Power
in the preservation Of Slavery nigh. naturally
provoke some serious, not to say indignant, re-
fectiOns but our purpose here is not TO criticize
iD6ividua facts, bat to demonstrate the existence
of great national party, Of which Gov. Winston
mu,t be deemed as a distinguished ornament.
This party ia that of the snenting, the doubtful,
the apprehensive, the deprecatory, the terrified,
the tesrful, the sDivelipg. the whmpering, the
crying outrieb. over the dangers and disasters Of
the country, and the dissolution of the Ulion in
particular. It's members are weeping wio We
every one. Snufflg ard maudn they 60 about
with Jeremiads for every a.tual and possible
emergency. They are selfsppointed professors of
the art of alarm ard lsmeDtaton. They start an
imaginary peril, and groan over it, and ,gnify
its present end prospective woes till their heaIts
collapse aid their voices crack sgAin. II is an
extensive and an interesting subjec. of observa
ton aud study-thif pariy-snd its woe sometimes
tells powerfully q. the elections. /. lacks nothing
but a Dsme, aud with that We have resolved
after ample refecton-io provide it. lie. i! be
known, henceforth and for ever, ss the Boo-hoo

III, mbers Of this party. Some of our mo.t emi-
peIt state sm, q have belonged to il, and large
number Of its members held famous meeting at
Csstie Garden in 1850. Gen. Pierce is believed
to have Joined it recently; but, perhaps, its most
important living chieftain is the venerable SEN
ator frcm Michigan, Mr.. Cas-. Indeed, tina. gen.
tltman has belonged to The party all bis life, and
hss not allowed en- opportunity to pass without
affecting bis membership. Ever since be broke
his sword up in the woods during the war of
lol2, lie has INDUCED in periodical boO,hOOs over
the prospect of smother war with England. Dur.
ing the Oregon controversy, he made weekly,
semi Wet ky, daily aid semi daily speech in the
Senate, the burden Of hch was that war with
Eng gland is inevitable dismal prospect,
whose inevitable refrain was like the mourning
at 81 oriental funeral. When the wilmot Pro-
yiso question came up, so long as the slavehold-
ere kept quiet, Mr.. Case was as good Wilmot
Proyiso man as anybody. Blu! the instant the
slavet olders gave their war whoop, he repsn'ed
him of all his Free Soilism, and began at once to
depict the danger Of disunioD, and to boo hoo over
thai. VITO can forget his pteous Jeremiads at
