The "Richmond Whig"-BIack RepnbIi
eans-Ths Presidential canvass Of
1859.
The Richmond Wing Of late date pub
liahed most remarkable article which no
doubt excited much surprise among the lees
violent partizan readers of that paper. 1t
proposed programme for the nett Presi-
Dental campaign, inviting union Of all the
factions opposed to the Democratic party, in
the slave and non slRveholding States. How
the successful result Of such combination
would affect the great interests involved, is
question Of momentous Importance, but
one which seems not to have presented itself
to the writer Of the article, or if presented.
passed over in silence After the develop
ments of the last Presidential canvass, which
but too plainly indicated the sentiment Of
the North, in their support Of Fremont, the
Black Republican candidate, we are at q
loss to conceive it possible upon what prin.
ciple any party can be formed in the South
in opposition to the Democratic party which
Is known to be sound on the great absorbing
issue Of slavery. If it be opposition because
Of hatred to the Democracy aud for the sake
CT the 'spoils," then it Degenerate into
Faction, and may be productive Of much
evil to the country. The Wing Gays
but, as we have said, when the admis.
sion Of Kansas shall practically conolude the
whole controversy Oh the vexed sBbjaet Of
alavery, neither We or any Southern man
could then have the slightest hesitation il
cooperating with any man or set Of men at
the North, upon a platform made up Of 9th
er issues and new measures. For example,
in matter Of distribution of the .public
lands among all the States, would we not be
justified IN standing shoulder TO shoulder
with anybody-eyen with those who may
have been known heretofore as the rankest
and most uneompromising Black Republi-
cans We surely would and so in regard
to any other measure or principle, which
has no necessary or legitimate connection

RES DeiHF 5ut Of view in the canvass O.
1860 and consequently, al merely Sec
tioaal p parties aiabaudea and dissolved, We
hold ourselves in readiness to support the
great Opposition party which shall then be
organized, in compact and solid array against
the Democracy. And with a thorough and
complete organization of ~ the elements
opposed to the Democracy, That motley and
miscellaneous. that hypocrit.cal and danger
Gus spoils- loving concern, called aatioaal
Democracy, will encounter defeat compar-
ed with which the signal overthrow of 1910
was scarcely a circumstance.
Here is an invitation (says the Washing
ton states) to the Black Republicans to
come to the rescue of the Southern qpposi,
ton. Pardon for all their sins is granted
in advance, and their cooperation is ear
nestly supplicated. All the past, however
full of iniquities, however pregnant with in
efectual treasons, however distgurea by
heresies, is obliterated. 1t is promised that
"their sins, though scarlet, shall be whittier
than snow though they be like crimson,
they shall be as wool" The only test re
quired of them shall be hostility to she De-
moeratic party.
Now let us see what sort of people tie

porters that they should know. We herr
