The 'Native-American feeling has air- patently as :fair a field to operate in it the. South as here, :butit proves insufficient there .. i toflefeat thelDernocracy.

They 1 1 .are quite as .unwilling to ignore the Slavery • queition as we are—if to ignore it Means to. let it alone., The South, or the small ,body - - •of aristocrats who stand for the. ' nth in - all . pe, ,• political •ealeulationf:-, are laborin - desperate ly, by whatever means present themselves, -to increase their Power in the national gory, • einMent. 'The- Democratic party has pre v • ed - 4 trusty ally in that behalf, and the Smith - la grateful. - h.. is not`deeqod prudent by the leaders to quit an alliance which has done so .., --mid for their cause, merely to experiment • with `a part whose fidelity to Slavery has -not been proved. The truth asserted by tho Montrose Democrat, tho-othor day, that the South' wouldnever profit by an alliance with ~this party's Toe," seems as :well understood ;by the Southern as by the Northern Dernoe., racy, Consequently, the old alliance will . he maintained, and Slavery will continue' to fight ` : its battles• undei the banner of sham Dd- :moc.racr. view•of the result In Virginia, a num , ler of questicins present thethselves for con :, I . mderation, The Hunker Democracy •of _the , North haie been for some time assuring the world that ,the Know-Nothings are Pro: Slavery. Do _they' adthit that' the Demo-1 - eratic party is Pro-Slavery Itnet, we have I the astonishing spectacle of a T. ro-Slavery par- I ty defeated in a Slave State, at. a time when the slave power must feel the necessity of - putting forth every effort to retain'its aseend ,ency, by a party that is not Pro-Slavery !- - The party that t goes the farthest ht support of Slavery will be victorious at the South, and the Virginia election, the importance of which was duly appreciated by the Slave-1 ,holders, satisfactorily shows that that party is the Democratic. We should think that; i j ailer this unquestiOnable evidence from the South, in addition- to what had been previ 4tinsly furnished by the elections at the North, the DeinOracy would feel satisfied that theirs is the Pro-Slavery party, par excellence, and would for very shame cease from imputing. • to others the character that so unquestiona , 1)1y belongs to themselves. r • Though the American party at the North .are Anti-Slavery, some would-be leaders min, sel them to ignore the Slavery question for - the sake of retaining an alliance with SUuth- I. . -erners. Let such advice ;be followed,•and that party +would soon take the position - which :proved fatal to the Whig party=just enough . , Anti Slavery to prevent its having any, strength at the South, and enotte)l3ro-Slavc ry to drive from it a large body of Free-Soil men—thus rendering easy*d certain its de , feat by the • sham Democracy. We shall re-' joioe at the defeat .of the Virginia Know, • Nothings-if it will eonviniie the Order at the "Mirth that they cannot looCto the South for strength, and that their success must depend upon their secitring, the confidence of the peo ple of the Free States. For them to consent 'to ignore the - Slavery question,:when no parr at,the. South doe.s, and -ito other party at the . North will, would be suicidal folly. _TiteSouth is secure to the Democratic party, and that party can only be defeated in 1856, by a union of all its opponents at the North. We are confident that such a union will be effected, and that if there is .but one anti-Sla .very candidate in the; field; hewill be elected" by the freemen of the North, without much 'regard to the`ties of panty.
