Mr. HcusE II bis speech on Friday night chsrnc-
terized the Democracy as Southern sec,ionsl par
u who never glori6sd the Uaion. In a subsequent
part Of his speech he ssid he was as much opposed
TO these Son'hern disGnionists as be was to the
Black Republicans Of the Nerlh. Just so--ihat is
what GREELEY ssys-and from it he takes hope of
successful coalition with the Opposition of tie South
It vas with this understanding Of Opposition senti
ment in Tennessee that he more recently proclaim
ed in his speech to tae Black Republicans Of Kan
sass 'Aa honor to EMERSON ErHRR1pez. WILL
IAN cuLtoM and their noble eOmpa.riots." 1t was
With this understanding that they proposed to hon
or Mr. BELL with dinner in New York as he
returned home TO his outraged constituency Il is
with this knowledge that they express their willing
ness 10 run him their candidate for the Presiden-
cy Ia 1862 Il was from assurances of this sort that
SEWARD proclaimed in public speech in New York
that IN 'Ou be the shOw of the nrzs years to nit
ness The organization of this same Republican party
within The siave States under the lead af brave and
true men, such Frank p. Flair, of Missouri, and
Cassius Dr. Clay. Of Kentucky. What remains Of or
ganzaton National party 10 be effected is as sure
as 0hat has already occurred and is noO so distinctly
seen %
Mr.. House regards the Democratic party as a
disuhiOnparty, aud informs Tennessee audience
that he is much opposed to it as the Black Re
pu6lieans-to have told the whole truth he should
have said more so.
Why should Southern opposi tiOnists entertain any
such sentiment? Take an extreme case Take a
South Carolina frs-eatsr who declares himself rea-
dy for disuniOn and the establishing OF Southern
Confederacy, rather than ubmit to the uncOnstta-
! tiOnal wrongs aRd aggressious of the North, and
what is his offence compared with that of the filthy
fSnatica abolitionist who regardless of all right
and justice, is seeking to usurp the control Of the
Government destroy the equality of the States, and
trample in the dust the sacred guarantees Of The
Constitution? The extremist in the South errs up
| on policy in resisting oppression. The aboli
ZIONIST Of the North violates principle of right,
justice and the Constitution. And yet Mr.. HOUSE
and his party admit that they have much tOIera-
ton for the wrongful agyressOr as they have for
such of their Southern friends as propose extreme
measures for its resistance.
The fact is, and they cannot conceal it, many Of
| the leaders of the Southern Opposition have a
strong sympathy with the Northern Black Republi-
cans and positive dislike TO their pro-slsvery bre-
thren of the South. They are seeking atilia-
ton with them in the next Presidential election,
ard for the corrupt purposes of power they are
willing to faWn at the foo-stoOl of the enemies Of
their country and the especial enemies of the slave
| holding States If we have not over-estimat-
ed the intelligence and integrity of the people Of
Tennessee they will teach lesson to the North by
| putting their heels upon the neoks of sll such in
the approaching election.
