In October last the Nashville Bsansr said:

About the same time the name paper said:

Ths Bonner also had the following the eve Of
the late Know Nothing convention;

Such, continued Gov II, sre some of he respou>
ses that were made by prominent Southern men and
newspaper organs to the circular that sent out
from Washington over the name of Mr. sARoEAST.-
They indicated the grounds Of coalition aad their
! perfect readiness TO engage 10 it.
Gov. II. next called attention to the cordial man
ner in which these indications from the South
received, and the confidence they inspired on the
part of the Black Republicans, in The lead of Seward
Greedy, BurliDgame, Ceilings. Wilson, and others.
From the N. Y, Tribune he reed as follows:
SIT seems TO US the plain duty Of the republicans
to regard and treat brothers all teh0 stand Nth
in opposition 10 the LtcOmptoR raadto invite them 10
our councils and our confidence while cheerfully
seating TO their prosecution Of their share in the
common enterprise under their owa banners in their
own fashiOn-to act freely aud faithfully in accord
anee with our own convictions, and accord 10 them
/ the utmost liberty in doing likewise
To US the path of duty is plain. Henceforih TO
the end Of this struggle, kHoI all arho resist the
imposition Of tie Lfeomptoa fraud on Kansas, as 6Tsth-
rem, while regard those s7ho Uphold that fraud as
eadl eneMtss not merely to Kansas and the republican
pary, but to the principles of American independ~
ence, the inslenable rights Of man. Politically, the
cham ions Of that fraud our enemies its oppo>
nents so far they willing to be, are cur
friends. We shall urge The recollection Of every DeIRO-
cratic American member Of Congress rho Tesists the
Lecomptoa fraud to the bitter end and then declares
himself the determined and pers,sfent GGUersGTy Of Us
authors and GBettOrs demanded allie by fidelity
to principle and 10 the interests Of freedom"
The grounds of the alliance having been agreed
upon, the next consideration with that paper was
the plan upon which ticket shall be selected for
the Presidential race of 1860. Upon that subject
Gov. II. read from the Tribune follows:
eve p. oppose that the Republicans, as the larger
section of the Opposition be permitted to name
of their numer for President, TO be sustained by
the entire Opposition, while the Americans and Ma
tioral Wings propose the Vice President. The tick
ct thus formed shall be supported by the entire OPP
position each party and each State making It's own
platform, and none being committed TO any bat his
own doctrines or propositions, and the united OPP
| position to be designated Republican, American,
Union Peoples Party, whatever else its voters
in any locality may chose"
In case this is not sccep able, the Tribune oracle
is willing to go a step further. He says:
'.Let the other wing of the Opposition name the
President, concedipg the Vice President to the Re-
p1bicans, With this slDgle condition, agreed 10 on
al hands aud proclaimed to the public, that the
Administrator thus formed shall do all in its PoWsr 10
confHs sIarsry s0tR the limits Of The szisting Stare
States"
Gov. II. referred To other editorials in leading
Black Republican pspers bearing upon the efforts
that vas being made to organize q new party of OPP
position emtraciDg both wings of the elements hos

fsrred to thesOene, graphically described BY Wash
ingtOn letter writer's at the tias, between Messrs
Crittenden and Giidings at the door of the hall Of
the House of Representatives, during the tendency
Of the Crittenden-MOntgOmery amendment before
that body in which the Ohio Ab0iitienist, meeting
the Kentucky American, took him warmly by the
hand and said "Who could have believed this of
me- that should be found with you, following you !!
But while have spent long life fighting against
enemies and am ready still to fight Them have
never fought, and cannot fight against my friends
1t was said BY graphic Black Republican delinea-
tor Of the scene, that ga gush Of warm tears here
came forth from the two SO united, and the fate
of Lecompton was sealed past redemption
In further evidence of the encouragement which
the leaders Of Black Republcsnism had received
from these political demagogues who were seeking
an alliance with them at the South Gov. Harris re,
ferred TO Stewards speech at Rome, in which such
paragraphs as the following appear
at will be the Shov Of the Hert too yeaTs to tcitnrss
the organization of this Republican party uifLa

such as FTaHk p Blair of Missouri, and Cdssius II
Cley Of kentucky What remains Of organization as
National panty to betfsesS as sure and certain as
sDhat has already oeeayred and is distinctly
seen"
Again, Mr.. Seward in the United States Senate
said:

(of extending saVery) d"G GdaORishes you that must
