FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1859.
THE OPPOSITION" PARTY.

To tho "Richmond Wing" belongs the ere
dit Of the present Opposition in Virginia, if
there is any creditin the thing. But the New
York Herald" is tanning the flame with great
assidulty, hoping to raise a conaagration that
will devastate the Southern Democracy. These
confreres in opposition to Democracy approach
the same end from different points and by DIFF
fercnt routes. The "Whig," opposing Mr.. Buc-
hanan with virucncc and abuse charges every
ill OF the times to the National Democracy. and
endeavors to bring home to the party in Virgi
mia the dclinquencies and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
it charges upon the President and his Cabinet:
According to the Virginia organ of the new
third party" the Democracy of Virginia should
be defeated because they support the Presi.
dent and defend the Administration But by
the New York organ of the ''new third party"
the Democracy must be overthrown for not
sustaining the President, and for dcscrting him
in the hour of his greatest need. This is in
deed fair sample Of the cohesion that is to
bind together the elements of this 'new third
party" No question as to constitutional prin-
ciplc or Administrative policy is to be asked
no enquiries aS to antecedcnts will be made
Where did you come from. and with
er are you going? are not questions that
will he propounded To the men Of the
''new third party" Non-committalism is
hair al md II, tl,n
moteSt hope Of success. There is no common
doctrines, and no common measures which can
meet the general approval Of even the Virginia
element of the Opposition. This is shown by
reference to the many platforms that since
1852 have been promulgated in Virginia.
They hope to unite men Of every political
faith, Of every shade Of color; and without
measures, without principles. they seek to OBJ
tain triumph that would behopclcss with any
avowal Of principle. This party thus
formed seeks success in Virginia as the point
from which to begin organization in the South.
No Democrat in Virginia. can for one mo-
mcnt hesitate as to his course, with regard to
Mr.. Lctcher. Whatever may be his objection,
however 50 much he may dstc>t the Ruffncr
pamphlet. he cannot now stand idly by and
sec the organization of this new third party
this amalgam party of all kinds Of elements,
without regard to shade, color Or complexion
Every Democrat must rally to the nominees of
his party, and here, on the very threshold of
tt,n AZ. Al. al. ~
it should receive death blow, aS did Know
NothnsiSm at the hands Of the Democracy of
Virginia, in 1876.

loh Presbyterian Church in Prince street,
(colored.J was filled with crowd composed
mostly Of colored people, on the occasion of the
presentation of 4 Bible and gold watch from
the colored ladies' and gentlemen Of New York
city and Brooklyn, to Hon. Joshua T. Gid
dings, as 4 testimonial Of regard for his efforts
in Congress for twenty years on their behalf
Addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Garnet, Rev.
DR.. Cheever, and Hon. Joshua r. Giddings-
Mr.. Garnet, in presenting the testimonial, re-
marked that they had not dared to put a
'chain'' to the watch, knowing Mr.. Giddings'
aversion, but had supplied it with "grard"
The Bible, he pronounced Gods testimonial
against American slavery
That is Northern "nigger-trading" that pays.
