The wrathful skies scared the very wanderers

The Richmond Enquirer, remarkiDg upon the pur-
poses and plans of tue Opposition and their efforts
at consolidation, says:
This attempt at an organization of all the els
ments Of opposition, beginning ct Buffalo, and IN
der the ecton and countenaBce Of the New York
Tribune appears TO have perfected its ends at the
North and 10 have left ali the elements oonsolidat
ed under Black Republcanism. Dispatches from
the New Jersey Senatorial elections show how the
American element Of the North is going We pre-
sent two dispatches from the New Jersey election:
''TBENToN, n. j., March l7lh.-The Legislature
of this Sale went into election for United States
Senator to-day, and chose john C. Ten Eyck Top
posiuoB) over the Democratic candidate. This re-
suit was brought about by a combination Of The
Americans with the Republicans"
In the above dispatch the combination of the
Americans with the Republicans" elects Mr. Ten
Eyck (OppOsitiOn). But in the next dispatch his
connection is found to be with the Black Republic
cans.
s.TRExrox, N. J., March 1.-THE State Legisla.
ture to-day elected john c Ten Eyck, Republican,
as United States Senator, in place of Hon. VIM.
Wright. The vote stood: Ten Eyek, Rep, a. Vroom,
Dem, "a; Stockton, Am, 2; Wright, 3. All the OPP
position nominees for County Judges were also elect
ed 4"
So that the benefits of the union of call the ele-
ments of the Opposition" revert TO Black Republi>
canism ct the North while at the South the effort is
to divide the unity and harmony now existing and
easy victory over divided and distracted
Southern people. And shis is the result sought TO
be obtained by the election of Mr.. Goggin
The Nashville Patriot endeavors TO draw some
comfort from this election of a Black Republican
over national Democrat, as indicated by the fol-
lewing remark:
"The intelligent and ssgscious correspondent of
the North american & u S. Gazette speaking OF the
election of Mr.. leu Eyck, conservative Whig, a
Senator from New jersey remarks that it argues
well for Union of the conservative men of all sec
tons in the election OF 1860 upOna Presidential cans
didate."
A conservative Whig' indeed. If the Patriot
recognizes the truth of the above Dispatch then TO
be Black Republican at the North is a oOnserva-
tive Wing. What honest Wing at the South desires
to affiliate with such Whiggery? Where is there
such thing as Wing legislature at the North?
When did 8 combination of Americans and Re-
publcans" ever elect any but one of their own mum
Der TO ofiice! Why should they?
If such an election as this can be held up as en-
cOuraging to Southern people, then may this fact
be held up with equal PrOpriey as encouraging to
Northern fanatics in their warfare upon the South
ern institutions. Suchunerring indications these
will not be overlooked By the people of Tennessee.

The Huntsville (Ala.) american Independent,
in an article on the presidency" pays the
following just and handsome compliment to
our distinguished fellow-citizen
The fact is, the country does moi want a
political President. Ii needs business Pres-
dent-a man who will take hold of the rcins
of the government. and direct it in the devel-
opmrnt of its resources and powers-a min
above scheming and partisanship--of deci-
sion and nerve-who will do right from
principle of right, and not shape his policy by
the stamina of political procliyities in any
section-who WILL upon the slavery issue,
plant himself immovably upon the basis OF
non-intervention and the Drrd Scott decision,
and repel every diversion from those fuEda-
mental principles, from any aud every quar-
ter. This is the kind of man we want for a
President and now where shall we find him

the right though the heavens should fall.

that position. He is the man for the times,

him to the position, than any other man in

persons average sixty-eight years and their
expectation of life-that is. the average dura-
ton or mean length of all their lives is ten
years. The sum involved in the bill from
the present time is, therefore, SS7 $50. $50.
But the pensions are TO commence from the
4th of March, 1851 and we must to this sum
add the amount that would accrue from that

pended prior to the close of the ensuing fiscal

vided for, in addition to the expenses incident

as approximating the demands of the bill, as

Mr.. Ewing Declines.

Hon. EDWIN II. EWING was in the city yes
terday, and requested us to say to the pnbIic
that he cannot consent to serve in the Legis-
lature. His affairs and inclinations are such
As to absolutely preclude his acceptance of
the nomination made on Saturday.
We cannot make this announcement with
out expressing the sincere regret with which
we do so-a regret which we are sure is shared
by the people of Davidson county, irrespect-
i've of party. His great ability, his lofty yet
simple bearing, his large experience, and his
exalted worth, as man, would have made
him part cularly acceptable to the peopl', and
influential as Legislator. His nomination
was a spontaneous tribute to his merit, from
the people who have known him so long and
so well. and we but express the general re-
greet at his compulsory declension, when we
express our own.
