Promoting Immigration,

A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer

nittee that left Richmond last week to exhibit
themselves at Washing ton-writing from the
latter city, says:
'fOur members of Congress could not all give

ted on bed of sickness. Mr.. Hunton was
very busy with important Representative dr.
Ties which could not be neglected, and Mr..

'ATrouble in the Radical Camp.'

Such is the sensational caption to a telegram
from Washington to the Richmond Dispatch,
and the following statement the occasion for it :
"There is every Indication of trouble in the
Radical camp. The different combinations ia
yoring candidates for the nomination at Gin
cinnati are earnestly at work, and thus far it
seems as if the Blaine interest is in the fore
ground. They are using considerable money
in advancing the claims Of the ex- Speaker, and
are publishing all over the country, In Repub-
lican journals, details of the life and partizan
services of Blaine. The Morton men take ex-
ception to this, but the New England faction
are getting along satisfactorily to themselves
by using funds to pmblsh the claims of their
favorite. A row is breeding which will GER
tainly develop more bad feeling in the party
than has ever been dreamed off,
This is all pure fiction. There Is no other
than friendly rivalry between the gentlemen
named. Both arc prominently mentioned in
connection with the Cincinnati nomination,
and the friends Of each are active in the use of
legitimate means to further his interest. There
is no 'troubc" and no 'row breeding" in the
''Radical camp" There is one paramount
thought and purpose controlling throughout
the ''camp,' and that is to bury the Demo-
cratic party and Its disturbing elements out of
sight in November next. There will be. as
there has always been, an earnest campaign
for the leadership OF the party that is to ac-
complish this praiseworthy work. But beyond
this, there is no sign or indication of clash or
jar. The Republicans, in and out of Congress.
were never more united-nevcr more deter
mined. They have principles to contend for
and defined policy to carry out. The man to
10 this with is a secondary consideration, and
whoever the National Convention may select,
will receive the cordial and active support of
the united party.
Not so with the Democracy. They have nei-
Their principles nor policy. They are perfectly
at sea in respect to all controlling questions.
Their cry of ssretrenchnsent and reforms' is
their stock in trade, and hike the guilty culprit
who bawled, ''Stop thief r' their gan,e.will soon
return home to plague them. When the cam
paign is fairly opened for the Presidency, and
the candidates named, the country will be in
formed what kind Of .'retrenchment and re-
form>' the two thousand bills already introduce
ed, looking to the treasury for aid, mean. The
s'reformersn will be confronted with their own
bantlings, their duplicity exposed, and the peo-
pie called upon to examine and judge of the
plundering schemes and REASONABLE purposes
underlying all the cant about tsrctrenehmcnt
and reform.'i
