So Very Significant.o


An article under the above head, which had
escaped our notice, until we saw it copied by
the Richmond Whig, and very significantly"
answered by that press, was published by the
young man of the Richmond Enquirer last
week 1t seems that DUR assistant stated as q
matter of news, gathered from Pennsylvania
exchange, thus:
"The Hon. William Mlward has been renomi-
mated in the Sd district. He will be supported by
all the opponents of Buchanan in his district Mr.
Millward is member Of the present Congress"
To this annunciation by us of a fact OBJ
tanned from local paper of Mr.. Millward's
State, the Enquirer added this comment to
wit .., ...-
"This Mr. Mlward is one of the Know-Nothng
members in the present House of Representatives,
who protesting to be national, yet withheld his
vote from Governor Aiken, when the contest was
narrowed down to him and Banks He was one
of the Fuller Know-Nothings, and has been greatly
lauded as one of the faithful men on whom the
South can rely for the protection Of her rights"
Well, suppo Sc tho clements of opposition to
Mr.. Buchanan in Pennsylvania should unite
to defeat cold Squatter Sovereign" That,
we take it, is matter for the people of Penn
sylvania themselves to decide. We have coun-
selled no such union, e0en though Virginia
elected Democratic Governor by getting the
temporary aid of some of the bitterest enemies
of Democracy! Is not that true, Mr.. Enquirer2
The old-line Wings, for reasons which they
had perfect right to adopt, voted for Covers
nor Wise, and they elected him; and but for
those old-line Wings, Governor Wise would
not now be Governor. Is not this SOP
Now few pertinent questions suggest them.
selves, and we would be happy to have the En-
quirers response to them. 1st. Is not Gov.
Wise just as good Democrat non as if those
old-line Wings had not made him Governor? +?
Cd Would not the Enquirer be very highly
pleased, if those ancient enemies of Democra-
cy, who voted for Governor Wise, would now
vote for " Old Squatter Sovereign" 3d. Will
Buchanan be any the less the representative Of
the Cincinnati PLATFORM if the old-line Wings
should vote for him? 4th. Is the Enquirer
willing, or not, that Buchanan should'get the
votes of his present aooVed supporters-tho
Bentons and Van Burens? 9th. Have not the

vote for Mr. Millward as the Buffalo.platform
advocates of New York have to vote for Bu-
chanan? 9th. Is there any more impropriety
in Mr. Millward's receiving Free-soil and
American votes, than in Mr.. Buchanans re-
ceiving Freeisoil and Democratic votesP
The Enquirer will greatly oblige us if it will
give us its general views of the difference be-
tween tsceedle-dum, and t,oeedle-dee." In
doing this, perhaps some new ideas might be
acquired by the youth Of the Enquirer, if he
would read the fable of the farmer and the
justice where a change in the ownership of
an enraged bull that had gorcd an OK, "altered
tho case.
There are now three distinct parties in the
country, represented by their several standard
bearers, Fillmore, Buchanan, and Fremont.
Those represented by Fillmore are in all re-
spects Americans, Union men, conservatives.
These are composed of both sla veholders and
non-slaveholders, but they arc not ultraists.
They are willing to allow all men the free en-
jcyment of their individual opinions on the
question of African slavery, provided they do
not seek to interfere with the rights of each
other under the constitution. A maintenance
Of the compact as made by our fathers is

Those represented by Buchanan, arc the
flibusters, the iire-eaters, the Buffalo platform
advocates, the secessionists, and generally the
Free-soi Democrats of the North and the ultra

tons and Van Burens to this otherwise purely
Southern sectional party, is an enigma-it
puzzles everybody at the South, and many at
the North. No satisfactory solution Of the
enigma has yet been given. II may be there
