= party was never able to poll hundred thou
/ sand votes in the whole Union. 1t was a fac
ton as contemplate for number as detestabls
for principles. But in that year, when the ole
democratic president, Martin Van Buren,, en-
2 tered the ring, and sounded his bugle, and raj
, lied his clans, the whole prospect was changed
He poed upwards of 100000 votes in the
| State of New York, and actually beat the regu
, lar democratic candidate general Cass in the
stronghold of democracy. He and his friends
now constitute the Pierce democracy of New
York, ready to rally TO the black republican
standard, as soon as it is unfutled, and the
!, treasury pap is exhausted. They have been
cratic leaders ofh repute and wide renown-
who have only gone ahead to make the path
smooth Blair, general Jackson's long trusted
and wel-beloved editor, has broken ground
He was the president of the late black repub-
lican convention at Pittsburg. Benton, Pres
ton King, John NJ. Niles, of Connecticut, Abb
jah Mann, Cambreling, speaker Banks, Sum
ner, Dix, Chase, Wilmot and hosts of others
of the same stripe-veteran democrats-and
nothing but democrats all their lives, have
joined the black republican phalank These
men, if they have any followers, have them
among the democracy. They cannot draw
man from the whig or American party. Their
whole influence is limited to their old party
the party with which they have fought and
bled in many hard fight. They will now raj
ly their followers around the black republican
fag-leaving the democracy naked and pow
erless in all the northern States. The only ap-
prehension we entertain is lest they should make
such an entire sweep of the democracy as to
make it single handed fight with the Ameri-
cans, and thereby defeat US in some States,
which otherwise we might carry.
