per; shewing lie sympathy which that papes ms
with Hon AZ W. Yensble n his opposition to De-
mocracy; and We copy to-day, as follows. from m
article from the New York Tribune the most infa-
nous Of black Republican journals, showing that
that paper also has good word for Mr.. Veaabe.
That paper Of the Oath June says:
The signs OF the times forebode . change. We
notice that Mr. A. W. VenabIe, one Of the abiest
and most influential Democrats in the 30th and 3lst
Congress- from North Carolina, has announced him
self an independent candidate for the next House.
Massachusetts, bids fair to elect two or three nde-
pendents: Pennsylvania will add to their number;
so, we are confident, will New York"
The black Republicans North, and the more ultra
of the Know Nothngs South, are keenly alive to
every demonstration of opposition to the admins
tration of James Buchanan. Mr.. Buchanans last
and erowning sin, in the estimation of the black
Republicans, was the part he took in approving the
pro-slavery Qecompton) Constitution of Kansas,
and recommending the admission of Kansas as
slaveholding State At the South, Lecompton is
also opposed, but upon different ground Objec-
ton is made to the quantity of lands claimed in the
ordinance accompanying the Constitution; but SO it
is. both the "brig.des" North and South, oppose
Lecompton and'the administration. The New York
Times coinmends Mr. Venable for his {" efforts to
promote the public good" and the Tribune, evil
IDENTIFY rejoiced at the Iumor that he is an inde-
pendent or anti-admnistration candidate for Con-
gress speaks Of him " one of the ablest and most
influential Democrats in the 3Oth and 3lst Congress
from North. Carolina" And who does not believe
that these papers would not rejoice if Mr.. McRae,
the opposition " Independent candidate for Gov
ernor in this State, should be elected? They would
hail it another evidence of decaying strength in
the Southern Democracy; and while they would re-
joice the true national Democrats in the free States
would be discouraged and depressed. There can
be no doubt of that.
Let the real friends Of the administration, there
fore, rise in their might and crush out Duncan K.
McRae, A. W. Venable and others, their followers
and satellites, who, from whatever cause, have de-
serted James Buchanan and the Democratic party
Of the State.
The Washington Union thus notices the mistake
of the New York Tribune in supposing that MIR.
Venable is candidate for Congress:
"TNDEPENDENT CANDIDATEs.-The New York TIL.
bune is evidently disposed to encourage the idea OF
independent candidates for Congress, especially in
districts giving democratic majOrities. The case OF
Mr.. Haskin is the Immediately under its eye
and. to sustain that gentleman in his independent
announcement for reelection, it mentions, by way
of precedent. that Hon. A. W. Venablc, Of N. C., is
an independent candidate for the next House. This
is entirely mistake, as the Congressional election
in North Carolina is not held the present year and
candidate. are not in the field. except to fill a va
cancy in the 9th district. Mr. Venablc has tried the
independent movement in his district once and, we
