This being tn case, l. can hardi- BE- eV-

We clip the foregoing from he Washington
Ciy S-tss The editor has undoubtedly Civ
en- the true reason why the Southern Wing
and Ameriesns do not unite with the Democrs-
CT. It is and has been for years evident /,
every observant mind that there is no occasion
10 nee ssty, nc room for two parties in Ii,
SJuih, 30 10 2 as Black R-publcsnism hold,
sway IN the North. It is als0 equally sFide,
that The Dsmo-ratic IS the only party in h,

But here is a higher consideration which
ought 0 address itself to every unbiased, IN
PrsJudieed, and every patriotic Southern minc
Is The maintenance Of KaoE-NOihing neRsps
Psrs in The South Of 50 high importance, tia
il must Be done at the expense Of the best in
terssts Of the country? We put this question
70 "a people, Invested OF p~artizan prejudice
We have a common enemy 10 combat, and ths.
