The passage which we have itaiesed, plainly
means that the Democratic party is composed chiefly
Of southern men, aud is consequently disposed TO
yield too much to southern sentiment. Now what
is to be the policy OF the new party! Tbs South
controls The democratic party, says the Journal, and
that must not be submitted to Who win control

But these sentiments are not confined to Ken
lucky Mr.. Bolts, in q recent speech which has
been apprOVtdby the Opposition Of Virginia declared
his readiness to accept the sid of free negroes if
they would help to elect his candidates. and in his
speech in New York reiterated the sentiment that
is necessary to combine all the elements of opposi-
tiOn against the Democracy. The Richmond Wig,
the organ of the Opposition in Virginia. says:
'tThe South is very nearly accurate when it Gays
that the hopes of the Fkig based exclusively on
the chance of rAllying all the elements Of 0pposi
ton in a compact body against the Democratic nom
inees. And that is the very thing We expect to be
able to effect At least we shall labor for 1t and
pray for it with hearty good will. We
are willing to let by cones be hy-gones and to take
the chances in the boat with all the elements
of Opposition in the North and the South, in the
East and West"
Again, the Rhig says: awe are for 9 united,
compact organization of all the elements of Opposi
ton against the bogus Democracy in the next Pres-
Dental campaign" Sill more emphatically, our
contemporary declares that it is ready and willing
to enter into cordial alliance and cooperation with
al the elements Of opposition, everywhere, with
view to the expulsion of the Democratic GOths and
Vandals from the high places of the Government"
The Banner of this city, and many of the other
organs of the party have urged the reunion of all
the opposition forces to defeat the Democracy. The
movement inaugurated at the Capitol on Tuesday
last is intended to bring about that result, and if
successful viii contribute very materially TO throw
the government into the hands Of the Rack Repub-
