What the Black Republicans Profess
to Believe.
The New York Evening Post saws

The New York Evening Post says:
Meantime, ht it not be supposed that the
sudden gust of i'll feeling at the South, caused
by the calumnies uttered for party effect
against the people of the North, is the same
thing with determination to break away
from the Union. The formation of Union
party is begun in the slave States, and it will
grow stronger and more numerous every day
until the election ola President The moment
the Republican candidate for the Presidency
is nominated, he will receive assurances Of 10y
atty to the Union from tens Of thousands at
the South. That was the case when we were
contending for the election of Fremont with
far greater odds against us than we now have
Fremont was almost buried under showers OF
letters from the South, assuring him that the
writers shared his opinions and prayed for his
success. Republicanism at present is the ris-
ing sun, and it has already its worshippers at
the South, the fervency of whose alterations
will increase as its orb rises higher towards
the meridian.
Already Southern members of Congress be-
gin to declare that they will have no part or
lot with those who talk of dissolving the I'm
ion, in case President shall be elected whose
political opinions do not agree with their own.
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, avowed this determine
ton in the most solemn manner and We
pledge ourselves that the avowal will do him
no harm with his constituents. Mr.. Ander
sor, of Kentucky, made himself responsible, in
the same debate, for the firm attachment of
Kentucky to the Union. Kentucky is not for
going out of the Co1federacy, whatever the
Virginia politicians may think Of doing.
The foregoing from rank Abolition sheet is
commended to the special attention oftheau-
thor ofthe Opposition Address" He viii see
with what delight the enemies of the South
arc hailing the elfortst to form Union party"
to give laid and comfort" to Black Republ-
canism.

subject of slavery could no longer occupy
the attention and absorb the time Of the Ma
tional Legislature and of national politics. 1t
would, for the want of any issue in relation
to it, cease to be the cause of STRIFE and con-
tention between different portions Of the coun-
try. It would be withdrawn from the arena
of national politics, with which it has no con-
nection, and would be confined to its legiti-
mate sphere, the States among which it is .
domestic, social and economical institution,
interviewer with their very life, and beyond
their own or any other power to destroy.
16ysResolved, That this Legislature appeals
to all conservative men in the Union, OF
whatever party and whatever section-to all
friends Of the Constitution, to all lovers of the
Union, to all patriots-to cease this war of the
sections. this bitter strife and controversy
whose inevitable tendency is to destroy the
noble structure of Government under which
we live; it appeals to extremists everywhere
to moderate their demands, to ask nothing
impractcable; to dornothing aggressive; to ex-
cite no hostility by passionate threats and de-
nuneiations; but by mutual forbearance, by
sincere obedience to the Constitution and the
laws, by respect to the admitted rights OF
each State, and by the total cessation OF all
elimination and recrimination to encourage q
conservative and brotherly spirit, and to re-
store that harmony and national feeling which
constituted the glory and the strength OF our
fathers in the days of the Revolution-with-
out whichs whatever may be the form Of the
Government, we can never be one people !;
but with which, no earthly power can check
our onward progress to become the greatest
most prosperous and most benefcent nation
that ever had existence.
