A Probably Republican Deal-A BIZ Tor the
Purchase of Temple Farm.


WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 23.-lSpecaLl J.
The Democratic leaders Of Virginia may hnd
it advisable to keep an eye upon the Third
partyites. Their policy is to make combina-
lions with the Republicans OF the South
wherever they can. and there ID reason 10 be-
lieve that the Republican bosses OF Virginia
will listen TO any suggestion Oh commune.
President Polk. of the National Aiilance: mas
assured the Third party leaders OF Northern
States that he will divide and weaken the
Democracy Of the South. He has given them
assurance that the Third party movement
shall not be q One-sided force. sectlonally. In
other words that the Republicans OF the
North need not fall away from the Ihird party
in the belief or fear that the Democracy OF
the South will remain solid while the hepuD-
licans of the North will be divided by the
losses of the Third party. President Polk is
warily working his scheme IN the Soutn'
cleyerly concealing his true plans under the
ouise of smooth words. The same pohcy
will undoubtedly he tried in Virginia and the
Third party will no doubt readily coalesce
with the Republicans.

Mr.. BYNUM cENsURED.
Representative Bynum. of Indiana. is being
censured by many of his Democratic asso-
ciates because of the position he took against
the Sibey bill measure 10 pay Just debt
of the United States 10 the children OF Nir-
einia gentleman who served III the Confed-
crate army. MANY Northern Democrats have
gone 10 Virginia members TO express their
dissent from Bynum's utterances and atti-
tude. Bynum was moved. no doubt more by
the sentiment Of large part OF his con-
stituency than by any unkind feeling towards
the South or -Confederates. In no state IN
| the Union are the ex-Union soldiers SO
! compactly and aggressiyeiy organized

a basis O. intolerance towards the South
and of extreme pension Legislation ioi
