A y1RGINIAN ON GOV. HUNT.


=, De Ed4sov Of Tae N. Y. Tribs"e.
SIR: The programme marked out By ex'Gov. Hunt
IN Tia Albany speech grstes hsrshJ on the ears Of Bell
and Everett men III Western Virginia il was stated
IN soue Of the papers shortly atIer the "ULon Con-
xen,os" in Baltimore that Gov. liant was not loyal
10 the Bell and Everett party. Individuals who at
tsnd.d the Convention auo heard Mr.. huats speech
IN the occasion fatty cortradicted the reporsJ did
come of the lesoiog papers, maintaining thai MI Hunt
Was ipcaxable Of such duplciJ. Tbas the matter
ouie,iJ rested all supposed Mir. HUT was Yolng 10
riys he rfuenc Of his AID talents t. the CIloA
marty in New-York Bet bis Albany speech prlSeS
eyeyyb dy and confirms the old report.
Some leading Wings IN Virginia have left Bel ana
SIRE going for Breckinidge There is very little pros
rtct in Virginia Of having Douglas ticket Tbs same
J. true of other Southern States. But, In Virginia,
sncb !. the force of party drill tina if Douglas ticket
Is formed bis vote will be very light; by no means
sufficient to carry off enough TO give the STATE 10 Bell
Lincoln viii get small vote In various sections OF Sne
S,ste. Those vo ing vita the RepuhhcA Ais nave uSu-
ally voted with the Wings This number may equh
The plumber votg for Douglas 60 as 10 leave Bell and
Rreeknr;dee Ia about me same position as if Douglas
had no ticket ia the State. Breckiundge, then, VIII
M questionsby carry the State. IL BIZ Hunt gives
Eew.York to Douglas, would like to know oy what
politica arithmetic be figure out 81 votes III all the
South for Bell and Everettand how is 1t possible for
Bell 20 get into the aoue at all 10 case the eiecuon Is
carried there Tris is question that is particularly
Interesting to Bell men, in the phase Mr. Haul places
the mater Will Mr.. Hunt, or some of his co@lescing
f,ie nds explain ibs sutject?
In the position affairs now Stand, II Douglas gets
Eev-York Bell ana Everett will never reach tne
House and carrying the election into the House Is
equivalent to the election Of Lane; every intelligent
politician understands THU II Mr. Hut 10 DISSATISFIED
with tie nomna ion Ct Bel and Everett, 1t would De
much more satisfactory 10 their friends here for him to
gay 60 ana 60 the Breckenridge and Laue tacaon AZ
once because his proposition enures direc ~ TO their
benefit Tie Breckenridge men here 90 understand It,
and so regard IL, and are highly encouraged BY the
prospect. A lage portion Of the Bel aad Everett men
In Virginia prefer reiDg bsaen by Mr. Lincoln TO be
being beaten by Breckenridge, la0cey q Co. Every
Breckiprdge man nave met since Mr.. Hunt speech
vas published looks as if new life had been infdsed
TITO him; hope sits on his face once more where de-
spsir for some time past had taken lite sullen seat
Every old Wing il Newton Ought TO hate Doug
Isss d. in his heart Of hearts, for procuring
ths reptsl of the Missouri Compromise 1t was tue
greatest monument Of Henry Csys wisdom aud states-
msusbip. His friends admonished Douglas lot to lay
bis hands upon it. they impored aud entire ated But
Douslss was BIDDING to { South for the Presidency
He oisdained Wing counsels he scorned their warn
rQs He struck the covenant OF our fathers from Tue
statute book Of the Lation-was willing to Sur up al
the elements of national strife thai he might be PreSi-
dent But he got more than he contracted FOR, and
now in SIX shor yesrs he is about to be burisd IL the
ths waves of political faction which be rased himself
He calls upon ole Wings 70 come to bis reecae, anu
Washington Hunt who learned political WISDOM a'tne
feet Of Henry Clay forward and asks the hgs
of New York to put forth their hands and save Doug
lssi Why? Because he says Douglas opposed the
Admins ration on the reception Of the LecomPton Con-
.t;tutiou Who thanks Douglas for that? If the sd-
mission Of Kansas with the Le;ompton Constitution
would have insured Douglas return TO the Umted
States Senate aud increased his chances Tor the Pres
6ency, does not everybody know that Douglas would
have cone for Kansas and Lecompton? But he knew,
"a every other sensible man kDew, that if the Leconp
ton policy of Mr. Buchanan was adopted without dis
sent by the Democratic party, both his seat IN the
Upi,ed States Senate was lost and no Democrat uld
be elected President. They must lose every Free
State BY his Auti-Lecompton move he hoped to &C.
cure his seat in the Senate gull of the North
err Sates and draw after him the whole South on the
ground of availability for the Presidency. In such
srescbery and iDsincerity who thanks him for hghng
tia Administration fthe Wings OF New-York are
made Of such msestle material as 10 have no senti-
MEETS Ct their own but follow in the wake OF WASH
iretor Hunt who is following in the wake OF stephen
A. Douglas, all have 70 cay is they are made OF
