A CORRESPONDENT, WHO DIFFERS FROM
Us IN RELATION TO OUR COURSE TO-
WARDS SENATOR HUNTER.

WARDS SENATOR HUNTER.
The Enquirer" is strictly party paper. 1t has
ever been, and is sti devoted to the maintenance of
the harmony and promotion Of the principles OF De-
mocracy, because it believes, in that harmony and
those principles are essentially and inseparably in
volved the most important interests OF the country;
because il has an abiding conviction OF the truth and
purity, and strength of the Democratic cause because
the tepe,s which il teaches directly derived from the
Constitution, adopted in experiment and a;tested by
experience have proved not only equal 10 every EN-
ergsncy, but Indispensable to the administration oi
our government, as il was devised and designed by
the founders of the republic because the Demo-
cratic party holds out the only hope for the
Union, and affords the only guarantee of security TO
the South. The enquirer is committed to no
man. 1t is Influenced in its opinions by its own con-
cepton of the true interests of the country and cor
trolled in its course by its own sense o duty ID The
Democracy Of Virginia, the South and the union.-
We hold that the Democratic party rests upon
broad basis of principles, extending throughout tie
country, North and South, and East and West en-
bracng the interests OF each and all the States, and
annlioable alike to the one and the other, and the
whole And hence we maintain, too, that the unity
of the party is not only essential TO its success, but
slso an evidence of the continued genuineness and
steadfastness of it's faith.
The Cincinnati Convention represented the De-
mocracy, not of factions of sections, but of the
whole United States. James Buchanan was pro
claimed by that Convention, the choice Of the De-
mocrn,ic party, no. of the North or of the South, but
of the whole country for the Presidential chair, nf
for the expiration Of the term Of Franklin PIERCE
The campaign commenced; the contest was warm
and close; Northern and Southern Democrats stood
,bouder to shoulder through the doubtful and excl
ting struggle. Mr.. Buchanan was the candidate Of
the conservative and constitutional defenders of the
IJnion and the rights of the South The enemies of
the institution of slavery we're all arrayed under the
fac of Fremont. The sdherents of Democracy and
the Constitution triumphed. Mr.. Buchanan was
elected and as henyous result was transmitted from
State 10 State and town to towD from the cities 10 tie
villages and from the villages TO the surrounding
psiphborboods, shout after shout arose, until tie
wekin rang again and again with The irrepressib!e
outnourings of the gladness and gratitude Of pa
triolc people. The effect Of the intelligence was
everywhere electric, among conservative stizens.-
A painful suspense wac relieved by realization of
our highest hope. Instead Of confirmation OF our
tears.
James Buchanan was then considered most proper

ACCEssIoNs TO THE UNION.

It's very probable that early in the approaching
session of Congress three new States will apply to be-
admitted into the Union, and become co-equal and
coordinate members Of the Confederacy. The aspi
rants for this honor are the Territories Of Oregon,
Minnesota and Kansas Of these Minnesota alone
has finally adopted a Constution-the Convention
of the other two being now at work framing then
fundamental law. Thus the number of the United
States will be thirty four. The places of the Terrific
ries advanced to the more elevated condition oi
States sill probably coon be filled by the orgauizs
tion of Arizona Daooah and Carson, for which, it i.
said, the necessary steps are being taken.
