And those who 10 not openly join the BLACK

for the occasion.
All the signs Of the times point to the impoor'
tant fact, that the South has no political ele-
ment at the North upon which she can place
the slightest reliance. Dean Richmond, the
uqooul Of Dou9lnsism at the North, has been
heard to say that the aim Of his party is to build
up q great Northern party, which Shaii over

over to the standard of Frce-solhSln and All

and her rights; and, having an unappeasable
ambition for the Presidency. he attempted 10

Saunders. Pierre Soulc i Co. held on 10 his tail.

The more imprudent Douglas men at the

one strong principle to rally round. They
have successfully bought the stare oligarchy
of the South, and checked its progress. Blu
DOUGLAS has done even more than this; lie has
met them, and overcome them at their own
doors. What the Republicans have attempted
to TO in open strife. he has done in Il sort Of
disinterestcd friendship manner, and contrib,

should the election 20 into the House, they
would expect the Black Republicans, If they
cannot elect Lincoln, 10 vote for Douglas, and

We consider that Douglas and his promi-
nent political leaders at the North, have vir.
tually gone over to the Black Republicans
They secretly declare it 10 be their pnr-
pose, if Douglas is defeated, TO place
him in the shoes Of William II. Seward,
and to make him the head OF L great Northern
and Anti-Southcrn party, who will lead them
to triumph over the South and Southern rights
in 1864, and TO oblitcratc, rs they lanaticalIy
express it "Thc slave, oligarchy." This is the
lying catch-word of the disunion abolitionist. |
again repeat, that the Southern people, have no
body to depend upon but themselves. Even
statistical facts in their favor are suppressed
by their enemies at the North, and The grosscst
lies circulated in place Of them. They wish
to have the commercial and financial support
Of the South, but, like heartiess beings, they
would amputatc the hand if not decapitate the
head Of their beneiactorS, who cn!y desire TO
be let alone, and to live in peace.
again repcat-and would that every citizen
of the South could appreciate the warning
"there is no Hope for the .SouM but in the
Union Of the South" 1t is suicidal folly for
them to go into this momcntous canvass with
three electoral tickets in the field, when the
whole North will cast an undivided vote against
them. Minnesota and Oregon have become
Black Republican; California will probably
follow next, and Kansas will soon send two
abolition members to the Senate, SO that this
conservative department of the Government
will soon have an abolitionized majority, and
this great bulwark and hope Of the American
patriots will be in the possession Of the enemies
Of the South and Of the Union. With all this
impending danger to her rights, we find her
people divided, and quarrclling with each other
over three candidates for the Presidency. Far
better would a perfect union be, without 4
candidate, determined to provide against the
worst that might como, than this eternal division
in the face Of an unscrupulous and destructive
enemy.
TRADE WITH JAPAN viRGISlASS AMONG THE

One of the many gratifying results growing
out of the visit Of the japanese Embassy TO
the United States is the spirit Of enterprise
which it has aroused amongst the young men
of our country, man of whom nre already
making their arrangements to take passage for
Japan in the clipper ship soon to sail from the
port Of New York as the pioneer Of a regular
line about to be established by one Of your
former fellow-citi2ens, Robert II. Gallahcr. in

prise is meeting with great favor, and, from
present indications, his vessel will carry out a
cargo of more than Il thousand tons Of mer-
chandise, together with from twenty to thirty
passengers. Shipments Of goods, and passcn-
gers are offering from every direction, from
Virginia to Maine. Mr.. Allmand went to Ja-
