There s an edrot design in this, which has been
evinced more than by the same journal. But Ii
is useess to attempt to narrow down the nterrogato
res addressed to Mr. Hunter, to the Issue Of Govern
or Walkers conduct. What the friends OF the Ad.
ministraon desire s, that Mr. Hunter shall dssvow
sympathy and completely with an opposition to the
present Administration, which commenced ita attacks
before Governor Walker was even appointed to the
office which he bods-an opposition which has
spnred no opportunity harass tho Administration,
which has made Issues in comparison with which the
question of Governor Walkers fitness or unhtness
Tor o!sce sinks into insisnifcance an oppoeition
which denounces the maintenance of a national par.

calls for sectional organization Of Southern Demo.
cracy. When Mr.. Hunter shall have done this, be
will then have taken position sufficient to justify his
election by the Democracy of Virginia. But this
position would be necessarily hostile TO the intrigues
of the destructionist faction, and THE South" is
turally unwilling to contemplate such re.ult. This
is why The South" Ia so desirous to narrow down
the issue to single aud merely subordinate question.
This is why the same Journal persstently refuses 10
revert TO the main circumstance which has Induced

which has asserted Mr. Hunters acquiesoence in their
own views and policy.
