The Richmond WAig, in view Of tho gross
corruption Of the Democratic party and the
tyrannioal misrule Of the Administration, ad-
vooates the union Of tho opposition for. the
purpose Of overwhelming the Democracy 10
1860. II closes an able article in the follow
ing hopeful strain, indicating that the oppo-
sition in the South have become aware Of the
inevitable success Of the Republican party
ard desire . reconciliation, that they may
partake in the fru,ts..of its triumph:
Following the advice and example OF the
Southern Democracy, therefore, we, for one,
are for letting "bygones be bygones," and
looking only 30 the future. And thus look
ing, We are ready and willing to enter into
cordial alliance and cooperation with oil the
elements OF opposition, everywhere. with a
view to the expulsion Of the Democratic
Goths and vandals from the high places Of
the Government. "Resistance to tyrants 10
obedience to God" We are told; and we be-
lieve it. And believing that, We are obliged
to believe this also-that resistance to mod
ern Democracy is likewise "obedience to
God" We are, therefore, for united, com.
pact organisation OF oil tho elements Of op-
position against the bogus Democracy 10 the
next Presidential campaign. And We shall
have il. The thing is IS fixed as fate.
Besides, We are not OF those who dsprecate
the election even OF = regular Black Repub
loan in the year 1860, snd.for tho reason
that such an event must happen, and We pre-
fer its happening now, when the South is
ADLER to withstand encroachmsnts upon her
rights than she will be Eve, ten or twenty
years hence. Tho North already has the
power, and will have much greater power e,-
cry year. She 10 bound to elect President
OF her own, sooner or later. That being so,
We would prefer her electing him now, - We
are 1nxious to see developed the policy Of .
South. In word, the North and the South
have wranElsd long enough. We van. the
issue brought %. We want to meet Il now.
