Kansas has, IN TRUTH been played out" So, also,
the bruised head Of Sumner is no more available
to excite sympathy and manufacture sectional ha-
tired. The romantic career of Fremont as trav.
eler and explorer finds no parallel in the prosaic
and rai..splitting life of Abraham Lincoln. In
short the Black Republicans have no excuse
whaterer, good or bad, for the present existence
| of their party-and 6nany of its members, aware
of this fact, are becoming daily more sensible Of
the sectional and isunion character Of the organi-
zaton and are deserving it for the broad. national
| Union party, and its conservative safe and reli-
able representatives, John Bell and Edward Ever
ett.
| On the other hand the Democracy North and
South but particularly in the North, seeing their
party cut in half, and each half more or less Sec
tiona in its organization, are longer under obi
CATION to adhere to either wing and have remedy
| but to repudiate them both. In all the Northern
States we hear of combinations and proposed COM
hinations between the Bell and Douglas men, and
| the Bell and Breckenridge men, looking primarily
to the grand object Of defeating lincoln, and the
/ rescue of the country from the domination of a
purely sectional party. The suggestion first made
4 by this Journal long before the meeting of the
| Democratic Convention at Charleston, that the
| conservative men of oil parties North and South,
should unite for the great purpose of defeating the
sectionasts and should postpone their immaterial
4 issues of policy until this result were secured,
seems indeed about to be adopted by general con-
sent i'll several of the Northern States, and we are
/ not without hope that it will eventually be done
i also in the South. What the effect Of this policy
4 will be in the Northern States may be easily seen
i by reading the editorials of the New York Tribune
and other ant-slavery organs the columns of which
| daily teen with denunciations of the proposed
coalition and of the politicians by whom is about
| to be effected.
/ They see that if even New York alone be de-
! taehed from Lincoln, he and his party will be de-
feated. They know that Lincoln can be successful
only through the divisions of the opposition. Nat.
| uraly enough, when they observe the ranks of
that opposition closing up and preparing to present
united front to the foe, they are conscious OF i'm
pending defeat, and give vent to their feelings of
rage and disappointment in no measured voice.
The daily and persistent attacks which the New
York Tribune makes upon such men as Washington
Hunt, james Brooks and others, show too plainly
the state of fright into which the Black Republic
can party has been thrown by the prospect of q
coalition in the Empire State. Tt is not on account
of any regard for Bell and Everett, as everybody
knows, that the Tribune makes these accusations
of treacheTy on the part Of Messrs. Hunt and
Brooks-but simply because it forsees that those
gentlemen are engaged in an enterprise, which
promises to be successful, to deprive Lincoln of the
great State of New York, without which it is i'm
possible he can be elected.
Thus then, when we witness in New Jersey
patriotic attempt by union of the Bell and Brock
inrdge forces to prevent the State from going for
Lincoln, and the same effort made in New York by
a proposed coalition Of the adherents of Bell and
Douglas what is the necessity for US here In the
South to be afraigning each other and attacking
each others candidates and principles? The Breck-
inridge men in New Jersey, so far from consider
ing the Bell men unworthy of political association,
have placed some of them upon their ticket and
have exhibited patriotic desire to haveoja con,bi
nation which viii defeat Mr.. Lincoln. In stranoe
contrast with such conduct, we seq Breekinridge

the people accepted a man upon his past opinions

that so unworthy a reflection should be cast upon
the State of Tennessee as that she continued to
send to both Houses of Congress, during period
of thirty years, man who though owning two
hundred negroes himself, was unfaithful to the
rights and interests not alone Of Tennessee, but Of
every other slave-hoiding State. This system Of
warfare, however efficient it may have proved in
other days, is no longer available This is no time
for the people of the South to be quarreling among
themselves To be disputing about tri1ing side is
sues and lowering with each other all the time
losing sight of the great danger which threatens us
all in common, of Black Republican sectional tri-
umph, is species Of folly which it is better that

object which the conservatives of the North are
trying to effect--the defeat of Lneoln-and let us
unite for this purpose upon those candidates that
are most available and are less Objectionable, on

lions Of the country. These we believe to be Bell
