REORGANIZATION OF THE WHIG PARTY.
| UNION OF THE SOUTH.
lhe movement towards reorganization Of the
Whig party, is assuming dstinctness of aim and
exhibiting al energy of purpose, which warrant the
| prediction OF practical result. The meetings in
Lynchburg and Norfolk, if not very imposing from
display Of numbers or enthusiasm, show at least that
the idea Of reviving the Wing party is not going to
be lost in idle talk aborve resolutions Indeed a
day s appointed for Convention in this city, and
Wings of Norfolk and Lynchburg. The Richmond
Wing seizes the project with svidity, aud urges
execution with the utmost importantly of argument
and exhor,ation
Two classes Of persons are disposed to forward the
scheme of a reorganization of the Wing pary-There
are those, in the first place who have never been
technically members of the Know Nothing Order,
but who approved its principles and actively labored
for its SUCCESS in this State This set of proaigae
politicians felt the least possible concern about the
welfare of the country. Their only object the
overthrow of the Democratic party and, deceived as
to the efficiency of the Know Nothing organization
for that purpose they readily transferred their allie
glance to power which promised such brilliant
things for their darling aspirations. Instructed by
frequent and rreparable repulses that they not
able of themselves to crush the giant of Democracy
they slept aside aud introduced champion whose
prowess they applauded, and whose efforts they aid
I'd by every sort of sympathy and succor Their sub
stitute encountered equal ill.fortune; and smarng
under a sense Of disgrace, because of the pitiabe
manner in which they sneaked out of the fight, and
mortified by the triumph of their old enemy, they
now turn upon their Wanted ally with reproaehes
and abuse and absolutely threaten to cut his acquain
tance and to kick him out of decent company. Was
there ever such ingratiiude. Can anything be mean.
or than thus to chide and insult party to which they
had rendered such abject homage in the day of lt'
power With what feelings of unu,terable and
detesta,ion must respectable Know Nohngs read the
taunts and remons,rances of the very who, only
twelve months ago. abounded in applause Of the Or
der and adulation Of its members Just as sucks
an orange and contemptuously casts away the empty
rind do the persons of whom speak repudiate n
connexion which they eagerly coveted, since II has
failed to crafty their passion for the spos of Office.
For these individuals we have not single word Of
friendly recognition. Their association is reproach
and an obstacle to any party. Let them shrink away
in wretched isolation; and in a perpetual banishment
from power endure the penalty of their seishness
and treachery.
The project of a reorganization of the Wing par
ty supported by another sort opersons whose char
acter respect and whose alliance We court They are

,ical virtue was all tho more conspicuous in adver'
sity; men who never BATTERED insoleut mposture
in the day Of its triumph, and whose garments are
no, polluted by contact with leprous organization
to these men Of patriotic impulses and irreproach-
able public integrity, we would address word Oi
respectful and amcable expostulaton against the
course they propose to pursue in this critical juno
ture Of affairs.
1t is conceded all sides, tha. old issues OF party
if not obsolete are at least suspended for the mo-
ment; and that the result of the approaching election
is to be determined by paramount and absorbing
struggle in defence of the rights and interests of the

any propriety in dividing the South by arbitrary dis
tinction, and imparing the effect Of unanimous de-
monstration Of its power, by parties which rest on
no basis Of principle, and contemplate no distinct and
practicable object! Is not such policy suicidal, and
criminal because so obviously unwse and destruc
tive, All the elements of opposition to slavery in the
North, are uniting upon single issue, aud combin
ing in cordial and vigorous concert, without refer
ence to past divisions and conflicts. Shall the South
display less wisdom and devotion in defence OF ita
rights, than the abolitionsts exhibit in maturing aud
executing their schemes Of aggression! Is it impos
pos5be for the people Of the South to bury spent
suirnosities and to close up senseess divisons Can
no pressure of irresistible and urgeut necessity weld
US together into compact unity OF resistance tc
wrong aud oppression Are we indeed smen with
that judicial madness, with which the gods nict the
doomed victims OF destruction In this battle, which
damands the utmost effort of the South, will the arm
of any patriot be paralysed by an obstinate and in
fa,uated pride of punctilious consistency Is ha
tired of the Democracy stronger sentiment witt
honest Wings, than love Of country
There is no necessity ths. any old line Whig should
forsake his rarty, ahjure his principles Co'ope
ration with the Democracy in this emergency, in
volves no such repugnsnt sacrifices. All we ask is
that patriotic Wing, should suspend the mpertinen
disputes of party for the occasion, and unite with th
Democracy in resistance to the aggress:chs OF tn
Abolitionsts. And this reasoha1ie invitation is oiier

We apticuats the ready reply to this eXhortatlon
