VOICES FROM THE OPPOSITION.
The following extracts from three orgsns OF tn "l
position press will present ou- readers with b;r:
.ye view of the present policy aud disposition oI q
.nelnes to the present Administration. The'- inv.
rate hostility TO Gov. Wise, the declared friend
he Administration is not more evident than il ID
,ager desire to identify Mr.. Hunter with the destrc
ionlt faction. Mr.. Hunter has himself furnish,
rhe public with no such evidences, least none wh!,

in the South, caused by the recent fued in the Dam

Affairs, but really having its roots much daeper, sna
extending much farther back than the last the
months, will find in the article which we copy ir' nd
the Charleston Mercury furnished TO that psae: -
"iriend from Virginia" and the comments tier
by the Richmond Enquirer, matters to reflect on, -
from which to form conclusions. Those who mo
