We rejoice 10 observe the unamlty which
prevails among the Southern Opposition
press in favor of union Of the opposition
In the organization of the next house Of Rep
resentatives. So far as we have seen there
is net dissenting voice TO the proposition
IN Tie ranks Of the party at the South. All
preceive the necessity Of electlng TO the
Speakership, man who will not pack the
committees, with the view TO suppression
Of investigation into the enormous frauds
and abuses which have characterized the
history of the present Administration; and
consequently , the entire Southern OPPOSE
tion party cordially favor the idea of a union
among The opposition members of Congress
North and South-for the purpose OF
electins suitable persons TO the various Off
ces of the House, and especially 10 the i'm
portant and responsible office OF Speaker
In the Judgement Of the Southern Opposi-
ton no Democrat, whether from the North
or the South, should, under any orcumstan-
ces, be permitted TO occupy the position Of
Speaker of the next House of Representa-
tives. In their opinion none bu, member
OF one Of the other wing OF the Opposition
| should be elected 10 Sill that office al the pre-
sent time. And thus thinking, there can
occur nothing TO justify or excuse single
Opposition member of Congress from the
South i'll giving his supper, TOR any Oppo-
sition member who may be designated by
the united Opposition as their candidate for
Tie post.
As Southern man, sincerely and de-
yotedly attached to Southern institutions
and Southern rights, and yet mistaken in
our ardent devotion 10 the Union of the States
we affirm now, as we have affirmed before,
| that not even iuquisiiorial fortunes conld
force US into the support Of either North
ern or a Southern Democrat for the Speak
ership of the next House of Representa-
tives, We aifrn as We have affirmed be-
| fore, that as patriot and as an honest man;
who cannot and will no. connive al the cor
rnp'ion which has been practised under the
present prohigate and detestible Admins
!ra.ion, we should vote with all holiness and
with all cord,alli'y for the very blacklist OF
the Black Republicans FOR Speaker in pref
erence 10 any Democrat whatever. On this
ground we take our stand, and on this
ground we shall continue TO stand, in spite
of all the walings and howlings of all the
Democratic demagogues On earth or in the
regions of their father, his sable majesty of
the realms of darkness. Any intimations
or Instructions from them 10 the effect, that
in thus advocating the election Of an op-
position Speaker whether in the person Of
a Southern Wing or a Northern republican,
we are maniiesting dislOyaity 10 the South
and sympathizing with the objects Of the
enemies, we shall treat with the unutiera.
bic contempt which such SANDERS and false
hocds deserve. Il has been with Southern
Democratic Editors and politicians The set
tied habit of their lives 10 characterize
Southern Wings as Abollionists In disguise
simply because they refuse 10 cOunte-
nance or tolerate the manifold rascalities
and villsnies OF the Democratic party. We
are accustomed 10 these calumnious accu-
Stations, and cannot, at this time OF day, be
either intimidated or disconnected by Them
Those negroless Democratic demagoeues
very well know that. in insinuatiDg a charge
Of ntidelty 10 the South against Southern
Wings, they are only giving uiterance to a
deliberate and wilful falseEood, designed to
impose upon the too easy ereduli:y OF the
honest but ignorant and uniformed voters IN
the Southern States. Ii is ;heir custom, we
repeat-and especially on the eve of an
elec!ion-to play upon the sensillveness OF
Southern men in regard to the Institution
Of Slavery; FOR the sole purpose Of promo
ting the vile and despicable ends Of party,
and thereby continuing themselves in the
possession and enjoyment OF the public
plumber. But the masses Of the Southern
people understand, at last, The object OF
their nuisy and clamorous profession of de-
votion 10 Southern rights, and of their false
and silly accusations against the Southern
opposition. They see only love Of the spoils
at The bottom of all their pre;ensons and all
their movements, and hence their cuckoo
cry of abolition against their betters has
lost its puwer 10 bsucfit themselves or de-
ceive others, and is treated by all men at
the Sonth, who are not irreclaimable fools,
as the idle wind which they regard not.
In conclusion therefore, we invoke every
Southern Opposition member Of Congress
10 hesitate not moment about cooperating
with the Northern Opposition in organiza-
tion OF the next House. 1t is their solemn
public duty 10 unite with them in this SIM
pie and urgent matter OF business, in view
of the overwhelming importance Of ferret
ing and exposing the frauds and corruprions
which prevail in every department Of the
government. We repeat that 10 Oppos-
lion member Of either section will stand eX
cused TO his constituents and 10 the country
who fails 10 do anything in his power 10
prevent liz election Of Democratic Speak
er, who would necessarily so constitute the
committee as TO suppress the investigation
into The ahnses of which his own party and
his own Administration have been notori-
ously guilty. LIT, then, every Opposition
member from the South march boldly up TO
the discharge Of bis duty regardless of per-
sonal consequence.
