70 sell cut the remnant q their party 10 the Abo-
nOnisrs We have taken some pains 10 lay before
our readers the evidences Of plot between the po
Gtieal managers of both sections Of the Opposition
by which the Black Republicans are to obtain con
troll Of this government.
It was the policy Of the Southern CATALrlEs who
we're conducting these intrigues, to conceal their
purposes from the masses OF their party that they
might lead then uneonsciously into the camp of their
northern allies and betray them into their power
II would not do while the elections pending at
The South tel the people that in supporting the
Opposition ticket, they were building up "a party
unfriendly to the honor and interests of their sec
ton 1t would have been fatal 10 their plans if they
had avowed in advance that the men whom they
elected Congress would sid in elevating abolition
lists TO Office and would WELD the power entrusted
10 them againstsh own constituents.
But that the Congressional elections are over,
cOncealment is no longer necessary, and the
treachery which they have plotted in secret,
is TO be openly consumated. The mask is now
thrown of and the bewildered dupes of this
infamous coalition may now behold it in all of its
hideousness and deforInity. Those who have been
deluded by tho false cry Of conservatism into the
support Of the Opposition ticket may now pause and
contemplate the consequences of their infatuation.
They learn too late that the Wanted conversation of
their leaders means submission, and that the prom
ised blessings Of Opposition rule to be realized
under the benign reign OF Black RepubIcanism.
The Southern Opposition have the balance of
power in the organization of the present House of
Representatives and they prevent or secure the
election Of a Black Republican Speaker. They can
choose whether the south shall repose in peace and
safety under the protection of the national Demo
rscy, or whether it shall be placed at the mercy of
It's sectional enemies. They must take sides with
the party which has defended the South in its hours
Of difficulty and danger, or with the men who have
heaped insult and dishonor upon our people-who
have branded the citizens of the slayehodng States
rs TRADERS in human souls, and denounced the
union that binds them to these States as eague with
He'll" They may unite with the party which has al
ways guarded the constitutional rights of the South
from invasion, with those who have violated our
rights, robbed Of property, and bathed their
hands in the blood of our brethren and our friends
They have already chosen. The leaders of public
epinion in the ranks Of the Southern Opposition
have announced their decision, and unless the i'm
pulses Of patriotism IN the bosoms Of their repreen
1atives shall mpe them TO disregard the voice OF
their orgaus we shall see the South Frustrated at
The feet Of her enemies through the treaehery OF
her own sons

marked out the policy Of their party in the next

And what apology is offered to the wronged and

do they offer 10 her in her humiliation
Why, they say, the country must be pUFged of its
corruption iniquities of a Democratic Admins

must be purified. And how is this to be accomplish

iates of WILLIAM CUILoN and the friends of ORsA-

The Know Noting party came before the people q
! 1855 with the same clamor agsinst the corrup-
ons Of the party in power-Uith the same profes- t
ons of purity upon their lips. A Know Nothing !

irtuous intentions in their hearts. A Black Re t
lblican Know Nothing Speaker placed in the
