Since the bilious Gov. Wise went into re-
TRACY, Mr.. Memminger skunk back to his
South Carolina den Of treason, and Senator
Mason took the ghost Of John Brown into his
keeping, the Richmond Enquirer has in the
main enjoyed tolerable tranquil state Of
mind. 1t has had the Charleston and Balti-
more troubles OF he Democracy pressing
somewhat heavily on its good humoE but on
the whole has conducted with considerable
good sense and amisbility. EIf
The Enquirer is now devoted TO the lauda-
bic work Of harmoniEing Democratic diyis-
ions in Virginia 50 to keep the vote Of the
State if possible from being cast for Bell and
Everett and in hurtherance Of that object
urges that but single Democratic ticket
shall be run in the Old Dominion, and that
Of the Breckeuridge-DOuglas stripe just as
colors happen to predominate.
The Enquirer now talks about the cry Of
DisuniOu as the asilly slogan and defends
the fre-satsr Yancey from the stigma Of dis
uniOnist. 1t declares that the charge anOw
90 frequently made against Mr. Yancey and
through him directed at the supporters Of
breckenridge and Lane, Is 50 supremely ridic-
ulous and silly that. it reflects more upon the
GOOD sense Of those who make it, than in
iurysupOn those against whom tits leyeled,n =
But the sagacious old Enquirer has just
discovered how the Southern States are 10 be
''ruined" beyond aquestion. Itsays it is snOt
bv missiles hurled BY the hands Of Lincoln
and his followers, not from Illinois against
Kentucky, but from Washington City, with
she power and patronage Of the Federal Gov
ernmentlp That is the ''blind side Of the
South all know, and Of Virgiria, especially.
The patronage of the Federal Government
has ever been potent with the F. F. US. In
view of this fact, the venerable Enquirer goes
right down on its marrow bones at the con-
fsssional, and in its issue Of July 10th, 1860,
thus unburdens its soul under the pressure Of
prospective Republican Government patron
age in athe building up in every Southern State
of a Black Republican party Read, pom
der. marvel and sympaflliss with the afflicted
Richmond Enquirer, which says;
upon the accession Of Lincoln to power, We
would spprehend no direct act Of violence
against negro property, but by the use offederal
Office, contractc, and patronage, the buildings
up in every Southern Stats Of a Black Repnb-
icsn party, the ally and stipendiary Of North
ern fanatieisIn, to become in a few short
years the open advocates of abolition, the
conhscation Of negro property by emaneipa-
ton sudden or gradual, and eventually the
ruin Of every Southern State by the destruc-
ton Of negro labor. By gradual and insidi-
Gus approach, under the fostering hand Of

refuge" for runaway negroes fTOm the gulf
States. No act CT violence may ever be
committed, no serFile war wagedi and yet the
ruin and degradation Of Virginia win be as
fully and fatally accomplished as though
bloodshed and rapine ravished the land
There are no consequences that can follow,
even forcible disunion, mere disastrous to
the future prosperity Of the people Of Vir-
Rinia, than viii be this sowing the seeds OF
discord and division, Of emancipation and
abolitionism by Northern hands, to be culti-
waited and harvested by the people Of Vir-
