world forget his sins. But, alas !! for woman.

Great fears have been entertained that

Some surprising ass favors tn counfry
With the evidence Of his sagacity the fol-
lowing missivo which comes to - over the
wires from w ashington: "A
Amovement is in progress oon1mpl91ng
tho co-operation of all the opposition ele-
ments to tho Administrations In thu nalas OF
the Peoples Party of the Union. The main
features Of the proposed organization arc
tho ignoring Of all questions productive
OF sectional strife; the projection OF popu.
lar rights; judicious system OF internal
Improvements; settled and firm foreign
policy; prevention Of the landing Of foreign
criminals and paupsrs; the protection Of the
ballot box, and an extsnded period Of rosi-
dence after naturalization, 10 a condition

The. dimensions Of this African will pro-
tect him from any undue violence at our
hands; but the only objection to- character
izing "Ihe Peoples Party Of the Union"
with the heaviest and hardest words known
TO journalism, is that which would operate
to prevent US from leveling a six-pounder
at pickaninny. s'The main features Of the
proposed organization" we are told, care
the ignoring of all questions reproductive Of
sectional strife" etc. The balance Of tho
"main features" are mouthfuls of Dir, de-
signed for the entertainment of the nursery.
The only feature lacking to give the scheme
entire symmetry and completeness is an in
dorsement of the last war, and We suggest
the omission be supplied forthwith. There
may be voters somewhere who are still in
favor Of the last war. Catch them, by all
means. $751;. ~. =.
The main feature-the only feature-in
the above programme is clearly intended to
exclude the Republican party from the pro-
posed tunion;o and We see not how the ex-
clusion could have been more thorough and
effectual. "Ignoring all questions product.
i've of sectional strife" means ignoring all
the prominent facts in American politics
ignoring the fact that gigantic wrong is
being perpetrated in kansas-ignoring the
question Of re-opening the African slave
trade-ignoring the bred Scott decision
and finally, ignoring everything which pow
erfully demands attention and adjustment.
We were ON the point of saying that any
representative Of the West in Congress,
Republican or Democrat, who had lent him
self to this heathenish proposal, had paved
the way for his own perdition: but We firm
ly believe that man is not to be found.
