why They Think So.

The Patriot thinks the Black Republican 0ppos-
ton organ of Missouri has been msled by the
charges Of Democratic papers into the opinion that
the Southern oppOst desire the success ofthe Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency" Weiwagine
that the editor Of the St. Louis paper has the same
means of information with regard to the sentiments
Of the Opposition, that We have. He has doubtless
read the editorials in Know-Nohing papers, and
the speeches Of KuoW-Ncthing orators inviting and
soliciting union of all the clements OF Opposition,
sn has placed the game construction on their
language that we have done.
The Black Republican leaders have probably read
the articles in lie Patrio in which it Acknowledges
JoHN BELL as The lealer AMI representative man
of the Opposition in this State. They know that
NJ. BELL opposed tSe Kans Nebraska bill, AMI
the omission of Kansas with pro slavery con.ti-
;uticn, aud they doubtless agree with the Patrio.
aud Gen. ZoLLIcoFFER, in believing that the Oppo-
nens of these measures we're friendly to the Black
Republicans, and opposed to the admission Of any
more slave Staes They haze the Patriots author
ity for believing thai "there il )t voice in all the
Opposition which would be raised against the 1Ls-
compton constitution if it had prohbised savery,
sud the Black Republicans could have glided in o
undispu.ed power under its operations" and they
right in suppoing that the Opposition srty &C
knowledging one Of The most active opponents CT Lo
compton as their leader and Represen alive man, de-
sire the success Of the Back Republican cause This
opinion is confirmed, doubt, by the exultaiion of
Southern Opposition journals at the triumph Of the
Black Repub leans 10 New York and other Northern
S.ates; by The exhOrtaiou Of JnnN NJ. Boris, urging
the Republicans to enter into "holy alliance"
with the Southern wing Of the Opposition TO
overthrow the Democracy, by the letter of Mr.
BELL to the New York abolitioniss, congraiu-
lsting GREELEY Brooks TRUMAN SMITU, RAY
MoxD, and others. upon the union Of such men
"animated by the same patriotic aspiration" and
acting together for the same great end By the
earnest solicitations of the Louisville journal be
seeching the Black Republicans to accept the all Of
the Southern Opposition to give them strength ''to
accomplish their aims" and by private conferences
with Southern Opposition leaders, from which GREE
Lev says be is satisfied that they will willingly unite
with the Republicans platform opposing the
extension of slavery. We do not thiak ii wonder
ful from these Indications that the New York Tribune
and It err Black Republican organs should consider
their southern allies entirely sq5servient their
Wl and should propose to them terms as humilia-
ting as those which constitute the conditions of the
fusion, by which the Black Republicans are to have
control of the government and the Kpow Nothing

TIE NATIONAL ERA AND JONI BELL.--The
UNioN AND AMERICAN. doubtless il 1t IS 5 reader Of
the National Era knows that that paper the central
organ of Black r. publcans, is unequivocally con-
milted agaiust any candidate for the Presidency
not az original Republican, being unwilling to
take Northern man not Ole Of the founders Of its
odious sectonalismj that paper, therefore, in com
menting upon an extract from the Era, IL Terms TO
make the impression upon its readers, without say
ing it in words that the Era is friendly would
in oonungen y be friendly to Mr.. BELL, does
that gentleman I'M jus ice which it will repair
have no doubt when apprlsed Of it.
The organs of the Democratic party are leaving
no means untried to make the impression in the
South that The Opposition parry Is seeking coali-
ton with the Black Republicans, the ult Of which
is to encourage that party in the North to persevere
in their sectional war under the erroneous impress
sion, made by Democratic Journals, that they have
symp4thisers in the SOuth.-NGshVils Banner.
We have no disposition to do Mr.. BELL injustice.
We do not exchange with the National Era, and at
the time of making the comments referred to by the
Banner, we had seen no more Of the Era's article
than the paragraph copied by the Banner, as fol-
flows:
1.-THE Nashville Republican Banner, the organ of
JOIN BELL. is sp5iling all the fne prospects of
tina gen for the Presidency by its coarse abuse
Of Bjaes ReBuJlioans.'
Since our comments on this extract, some friend
has sent US copy Of the Era Of May y, con-
tanning the article from which the foregoing SEN
teuce was copied by the Banner. 1t contrOvers q
position Of the latter paper, that THOMAS JEFFER.
son was the founder of the Democratic party; and
its opening paragraph is as follows:
1.-The Nashville Republican Banner, the organ of
John Bell, is spelling all the ue prospects of that
gentleman for the Presidency, By its coarse abuse
Of the Black Republicans While Mr. Bel is hob
aOJRg acitL the Republicans and i-RsDU5!icaES Of
Pennsylvania and Nsl0 I05k his organ is denouncng
BLACK Republicans IS being no better than The
Black Democracy, and the great original sn of
each Of these parties, according TO the Republican
BdRnsr, l. the fact that they trace their origin
Thomas Jefferson, wac is denounced as an accom-
phshvd and inetfable dsm0gogue-"
We are more than willing that Mr.. BELL
shall have the full justice of publicity of this ez-
tract aud regret that the Banner did copy it en-
tire when making its first quotation.

In 1882, General QusRtEs then Democrat
warmly advocated Mr. BucHANAN's nomination for
the Presidency. He now dsDounces his old favOrite
a. dsspot. calls him King JAMES the First, and
says he is claiming the prerOgatives of an Emper-
or The General in comparing Mr.. BugHANAN to
the Erglsh monarch, might possibly suggest to his
hearers a resemblance between himself and King
JAMES monkey, Of which the royal sOLo1oN said !;
'sIf hold JACKIE ] can make him bite you if you
hold Jscko you eau make him bite me" The party
that has the largest store of nuts and apples can
always have Jaeko. In 80 Mr.. BUCHANAN had
him and he expected no doubt to be we'll fed from
his presidential pocket But he grew tired Of wait
ing, and in 1856, went over to the Know NOthings,
who tempted him with a very fine nut in the shape
Of Congressional nomination. When King JAMES
had him he bit the Opposition. Now, the opposi'
lion have him and they make Kim bite King JAMES
Jscko is misehievous animal but by no means
terrible II he don't get the nat they promised
him he'll be biting the Know NOthings soon.

BY ALFRED TEkSYSON.
There are some hearts that, ike the loving vine,
Cling TO unkindly rocks and ruiled towers,
Spirits thst suffer and do not repine;
Patient and sweet as the lcwly -trodden Sewers
That from the passer's heel arise,
And give back Odor0us breath instead Of sighs.
But there are other Eeirts that viii not feel
The iowly love that hauuts their EYES End ears
That would fond faith with anger worse than steel,
Aud out Of PHYS spring draw idle tears.
o, Nature shall il ever he thy will
In things with good to miugie good and III
Why should the heavy foot q sorrow press
The willing heat Of Uncompl flaming love
Meek charity that siTinss not iIO-a distress,
GentleLess doth her tyrants 50 repro-e-
Though viriEre weep forever and lament,
VIII one hard heart turn to her and relent
Why should the reed Re broken that will bend,
And they that dry the tears in others eyes
Feel their own anguish yelling Withoutend,
Their summer darkeuei with the sm0ke Of signs !
Sure Love to some fair Eden Of his own
viii fee at last and leave Us here alone.
Love Weepeth always ;Weepeth FOR the past.
For woes that are, Tor woes that may betIdei
Why should not Ear ambition Heepat last,
Envy and hatred, avesice and pride

Good ADVICE.

BY A QUAINT OLD POEr.
Ye who would save your features forid,
Little limbs bri-h. EYES, unwrink led f0rehea
From ages devastation horrid,
Adopt The plan
Twill make Ia climates cold or t0rrid,
A hale old man.
Avoid IN youth luxurious diet;
Restrain the passions lawiess riot;
Devoted to domestic quiet,
BE wisely gay;
So shall ye, spite Of ages fat,
Resist decay.
Shek not in Mamm0n's worship plsasurs.
But End your richest, deaFest tueasure.
In books, friends, music, polished leisure
The mind, not sense.
Make the sole scale BY which yCu measure,
Your Opuience.
This is the sOlacs, this the science,
LIES purest, sweetest, best appliance,
That disappOints not mans re lance,
Whate'CT his state:
Bat challenges with calm defiance,
Fame, fortune, fate.

Comfy Fairs, if the people could be aroused to an

that it is much more troublesome TO put stock in

operated to the prejudice of the enterprise. We
