the representative man of his party, and who, by
bis commanding talents and eminent public ser

his friends and admirers will find consolation for
their disappointment in the fact that he can well

MR. HUNTERS POsITIoN.-The Richmond En-

made during the session of the Charleston Con-
vention, that Senator Hunter telegraphed Ito a
friend who sought advice from him as to what
the course Of the virginian delegation should bel
to ''MAKE THE South A UNIT" We fear that In
this matter the EHqUirsr'S incredulity arises in
voluntary, from its desire that Mr.. Hunter should
fail the cause of the Constitution in the present
crisis. We, however, point that journal to the
appeal published in yesterdays Star bearing his
signature, among those of other distinguished
and patriotic statesmen, by way Of brushing from
before its eyes the film that prevents from seeing
the position Of Mr.. Hunter all others see it, In
that appeal the Enquirer will find ample proof
that while some of Mr.. Hunters friends may not
have been ready to stand tat ChariestonJ by all
the rights Of the South, their temporary indecsion
involved no evidence that he sympathized with
them in their hssitaney.
