WASHINGTON, y. c., April So.-The New
York Tribune has the following to-day from
Cincinnati: "Virginia has strong deieS's-
ton present. The question of candidates
bus not come up before the delegation us a
body, although Mr.. Stearns announces the
majority in favor of acting with the dclcga-
ton from New York. Mr.. Stcarns brings
with him letter from General }. ID. 1mbode1',
which he says fairly represents the current OF
opinion in Virginia. After an introduction
defining his own position, the General calls
attention to the Cincinnati movement rs IN
absorption by the new Republican party Of
the old Wings of the South. With this the
majority of the negro population will join to
overthrow the corrupt carpet-basgerS.' lie
continued: ~ understand your lat Cincln-
matt will be-first, to reform the gross abuses
that ten or twelve years eft absolute control
of Federal Government has engcndercd i'll
the Republican party; and secondly, to iDau-
gurate new era of good will and harmony
between the lately discordant sections by
embodyins forgetfulncss and forgiveness of
past differences in general amnesty for politi-
chi offences. You and / know southern
character well enough to feel assured
that such policy frankly and manfully pro-
claimed, will bring to the party which adopts
it the warm, earnest, and constant supporter
the intelligent and thinking men of the South,
and TINT its success in the coming presi-
dental election would lay the foundations of
party that would, for long years to come,
control the South, in spite of c;rret-bag Radi-
calism on the one hand and fossil Democracy
on the other. Ny opinion is that any party
to be permanently useful in the South, must
embrace large proportion Of both races.
The Democratic party can never succeed in
winning to it, support the great body, or,
indeed. any considerable numbers, of the he
gro population for reasons that are founded
upon the history Of the past ten years, and
for equally strong reasons the Radical Rcpub-
can party can make no decided impression OIL
the general white population of the South.
Therefore we see that party lines here are al
most synonymous with l1ce lines Of de-
narration. This state of things is produc-
tive OF much mischief, and tends to perretu.
ate struggle between the races that in the
end will force the weaker race to their
own destruction. 1t is impossible for the
Democratic party to win the negro, and no
movement it may put Oil foot will do so.
Therefore esteem it Il most fortunate cir
cumstance that this new movement origin.
ated in the Republican party, and is managed
by distinguished men of TINT party. The
ticket to be put forward must be Republican
or it will fail. You know the negro charac.
ter well enough to agree with me that tho
mere subtleties of platform will make lie
impression on him, unless that platform is
embodied IN the life and public career Of
the candidates representing it. They
must be no new men, but names Eamilia,
to the negro ear, even when, with Dated
breath, In the quarters cabin years aso. he
discussed the possibilities of emancipation.
Through the agency Of these early friends
of his freedom, Of whom he then heard
something, perhaps, iroin the angry debates
of contending parties on the stump which
ne would listen to, you must nominate
men whose names are associated with ernan-
cipation before you approach the negro and
ask him to abandon the party to which he
feels indebted for his freedom" TlMoN.
