Herein consists all the difficulty of Mr. Hunter's position; and this seems to be aggravated by the conflict into which be has been Bea brought with the great “Tenth Legion” democrat On the 19th inst. a meeting of the dumosracy of Rockingham county—the great stronghold of the party in the State was held, and the following resolutions unanimously adopted:— election. A committee was appointed to forward a copy of the resolutions to him. And we cannot but bope that we shall soon have the pleasure of hearing from him again. In his ‘ate letter to Hon. Sheiton F.

Indeed, the principal point upon which we are most anxious to be informed is utterly disregaraed. Bat Mr. Hunter professes no‘ to have answered the Enquirer.

All men owe allegiance to party, and none are so high or 80 low as to be exempt from any demand of ex- pression of opinion entertained when candidates for office. While the people ot the Valley are far from exhibiting any hostile feelings to Mr. Hunter, or a wish to sacrifice him, yet ben Apes that he is bound to reapond to a respectful call made upon him, and to say whether he intends to second the patriotic moves of the President, to restore peace to a dis- tracted country. The great object of the national administration is to calm the angry waves of sectional strife, to bring back the era of good feeling that distinguished the earlier days of the repuplic, to maintain the sae. rity of the constitution, to impress upon the minis of the people the sacredness of the compact that ex- ists between the sovereign States of this Union, and the patriotic duty of all parties and sections acknow- ledging the respective rights of all the States In these patriotic motives the people behold the loftiest patriotism, and the surest method of baffling the fa- naticism of the North and the ultraism of a faction in the South, and thus prevent a disruption of our confederation. The past course of Mr. Buchanan, bis enlightened intellect, his scrupulous fidelity to the cosstitution,and bis present impartial patriotism assure the people that if seconded by the conserva- tive element of the country these objects will be tained, and the bow of promise will span our politi- cal horizon, and fraternal relations exist among the different sections of the Union. The democracy of this section desire to see Virginia—the promulgator of that code of political ethics which James Bu- chansn has illust i distinguished ability and undeviating devotion— sustain the administration by all ita strength and moral — in the Senate and in the Houee, for that reason have called upon Mr. Hunter to state his position. The democracy here do not doubt Mr. Hunter's pa- triotism; ‘but as intimations have been thrown out from certain quarters calculated to destroy, to some extent, confidence in his fidelity to the national ad- ministration, they respectfully, but earnestly, re- quest him to state his position, and reeve hipeelt ot that suspicion. And while they do not to dictate to him, or intimidate him by lepesoed y unless he does respond favorably he can expect no sympathy or aid from the democracy of this section.

The principal point on which we are anx- ious to be enlightened by Mr. FBunter, is not whether he spereres the course of Governor Walker or not, but ‘her he condems the doctrines of the dis- unionists and their pseudo-democratic confreres; not whether he “hopes” or “expecta” “to support Mr. Buchanan's administration in the main,” bat whether he approves the policy it has so far pursued and whether he will co-operate with,or war against the ultraists, in any such aseaults as have al ready been made upon it.
