Delaware Black Republicans Surely then
Slave States. Now we have never advocated
that policy, because We did not deem it the
better one Our opinion was and IL, that
Maryland should call Convention, nominate
Judge Bates, and if the Chicago Convention
should also select him, their would be an ac-
cession OF strength to the party, that would
indicate success But how is it now, the
state Conventions Of Virginia, Tennessee, \.
Carolina, Kentucky and Missouri have been
held Virginia has refused to adopt the
measures proposed by the Union party,
other than to send delegates to the proposed
At this Convention Mr., Bolts was called up
on to give his views on the present state Of
the political aspects of the country, and he
couneiied q union of GR the Opposition This
fact the Clipper fnilsto notice, Whether Mr..
Rots,' wise and prudent councils will prevail
or not, ID not for us TO say, We are too far of
from the party managers 10 lave any insight
into their views and intentions. One thing
is certain il there should not be united action
in reference to the candidate upon the part of
HE Opposition, there will be three in tue field,
and we are satisfied the result will be, as it
was in '56. We dread triangular fight, we
have too vivid 4 remenhrance of the paraly-
sing influence that then rested Upon US,
to desire another campaign Of the same kind.
Does the Clipper and Herald imagine that
the new party can be successful if 50 where
is il 10 get its strength? In the North ? GER
tGinly not FIVE canrot secure the influence
OF the Republicans for such IN unexccptou-
able man as Mr.. Bates, and they put forward
a drlt'ed Republican, he will get . majority
OF the Free States, rs in the campaign Of sc.
In the South? We conscienciously believe
that the candidate of the Opposition, lie he
whom lie may, will receive less vote than
did Willard Fillmore in this section of the L.
Mon. The result then iu our opinion will lie |
another triumph Of the Sham Democracy. |
We believe it IS admitted every where GER |
ialnly 10y the Baltimore Clipper, that the cleo
ton of Speaker Pennington VAS a defeat of
he extreme Republicans and a triumph OF !
moderate principles and conseryatiyeism -
The effort was long and strenuous. but finally !
he EXTREMIST lad to yiel! With proper in
luences brought to bear, by prudent men.

controlled, go modified and conl1rmed to the
Jews Of conservatives North and South, as to
AXE from ii every Objectionable feature, and,

he campaign with every prospect Of success
nch certainly seems to he the views enter
mined by large majority Of the Opposition
,urnals Of Delaware. With those views we
ave not had that dread Of the Chicago Con-
ention which seems TO have haunted our
lends of the Clipper and Herald. We have
0 objection to the convention proposed to be
I'D in Baltimore, only so far rs we fear it c
i'll divide our strength, We have never l.
eercd at the third party movement, as has .
en charged, but we say with as confirmed @
Of the truth, we are now about o
utter, as we have of any problem in Euclid, n
at unless the conventions of Baltimore and u
.icago, shall give to the Opposition the r,
me man, we are doomed to defeat more a
more overwhelming and shameful
an that We experienced in the last campaign,
