whilst nothing else can.
For myseif say here in advance, that let the

the consequences be what they may"
This speech. inviting the BLACK Republicans to
unite with the Southern Opposition is copied and
endorsed by the Nashville Banner. Mr.. Boris fur
thef said
at has rot been very long ego since gentleman
somewhat prominent in the ranks of the Dsmocra-
cy, whom met on the street, said tome, Mr. Bolts

Ny good friend sad l. I don't cash you 10 msuudsr-

Listen TO that. He would be perfectly willing to
receive the vote Of Ststs composed Of free negroes
in order elect his party. Talk to about disun
ionists North and South being in the true party
There is Mr.. Bolts, the leading man in the OPPOSE

votes of free negroes if he could beat the Demoers
ey But sir what is the proposition in relation to

s.The csndidstes prominent before the Opposition
are Senator Cameron, Senator Seward, William =.
Dayton, Senator Bel, Senator Crittenden, Gov.
Banks A Lincoln, John C. Fremont"
After discussing the claims Of the various gentle
men mentioned in connection with the nomination,
the writer continues;

eyes towards Southern deliverer; some chief who
will rescue them from oppression (as they form De-
mocraio rule.) One SECTION, (Americsnl looks to
Crittenden, the other, (Repuhlican,l locks to Bell
of Tennessee. The contest will be an arduous one,
ard not devoid Of bitterness" #
In June last the Banner used this language:
The fate of the National Democracy is already
sealed Black Rspublioanism has not only taken
from then every inch Of ground they occupied in
the North but we Would't be surprised if The
Presidential election should expuDgs the very name
Of Democrat from the political map Of the eountry
There can BE- no doubt that the Opposition win car
ry the day triumphautly in 1850 and as the Kan
3as question Is al extinct issue and no occasion,
therefore, for further agitation the suhject Of
slavery, why should not the friends of retreuch-
ment and reform in every part of the Union zeal
ously unite With the Opposition. and aid them in
giving he bogus Democracy 1910 over again"
The BIHnsr also had the following on the very Of
the late Kuow-Nothing Convention:
MOVEMENTS OF The OPPosITGON.-Tbe recent
sction in Virginia and Kentucky is having its effect
all over the country. We hope to gee similar raj
lying At our own State OonTention, to give addition
al ipOetus to the bAIl. The N. Y Express says;
tt'These cheering indicstions it should be added,
are not confined to the South. The Opposition
came together very quietly in Rhode Island, the
other day, and hsd difficulty in agreeing to
end cordial support to one and the same csndi-
date for Governor. This was an emnently national
proceeding, aud its sslutsry influences, ere long,
must tell tayorsbly upon the action Of the rest CT
New Eeg!snd 10 New Jersey he Opposition may
be ssii to be united already; and in Pennsylvania
we have impression tha,-no matter what the
leaders, the wre-pulers, the dIctstoT1, the
political machine men, or all Ct them together may
do or think-the people at large are very strongly
inclined not only to sympsthiEe with the movement
SO nobly begun in Virginia and Kentucky, bat to
do their full psrt, when the proper time comes, TO
insure its triumphant success. There nay be fer
ences and disagreements upon minor points, and
upon local quest ans; bat there is not, and ought
not to be any difference whatsoever TO the necessity
Of Tesegiag The country from the ml!dsp Of LeeDlP on
Democracy, with is essential tests, tyTanDieal yrc-
scriptious and Imbeeil financial policy at home and
its military proiectora'e, 0siend msniestoes, and
thirty million humhugs abroad. With such starting
point this, the rest Of the journey ought 10 b..
and, and if the political machine men are buL Kept
off he track, will not BE- hard road TO travel"
These are the the eandidsteg now Who will be
brought before the GpPOsitiOn Convention. But,
SIR is conclusive TO me- and ought to be e0nclu-
siys TO every gen lemsu on this Aoor They want
is form-ther object is to form coalition between
the Opposition party North and the Opposition party
South to pursue and defeat the Democratic party.
And when you do defeat that party, why hope for
this Union, which gentlemen profess to love and re-
we're so much Cease, gentlemen, your opposition
to the only national constitutional party In the Uni
ted States aud war longer against the party that
Is maintaining your cOgntrYs Tag and Southern
