PROGRESS OF BLACK nRruRLroANrsM

PROGRESS or BLACK REPuBLrcANrsM
We have taken frequent occasion to show our
readers the progress Black Republicansm is making
in the border slave States. This We have done as
matter Of duty, as well to spread Important infor-
nation before the public and II the storm breaks
speedily and terribly upon our people, they will not
be able to say they were not warned In ample season.
Tho last very bad indication comes from Virginia,
growing ont OF the late gubernatora struggle. John
Letcher, the Democratic candidate for Governor,
| some ten years since endorsed language used in
reference to slavery far surprising in terrible bitter
| ness and unqualified, wholesale denunciation, any
ever employed BY Seward, Greeley, or any other high
priest of Abolitionism. Vim. L. Goggin, the Oppo-
sition candidate, Is an Old.Line Wing, and as true
Is steel to the Institutions Of bis native State. Now
mark the result. In Eastern Virginia, where the
population is generally slayehoding, Goggin gained
tremendously; but in Western Virginia, where there
Is large infusion Of Black Repubcanism, the gains
fell Oh, and in some instances it is presumable went
on the other side Be this as it may, however, II
Goggin had gained in Western Virginia as be gained
10 Eastern Virginia, he would have been elected
Governor by handsome majority. There is no
earthly doubt but that the Black Republican element
defeated him and elected Letcher.
Speaking Of this significant circumstance, the
Washington correspondent If the Nav yorlr Evsnno
