Already do we see every prominent, influential o,.
of black republicanism calling upon capitalists, VI
bring forward their money to aid in the entern,;

directors of lis power were silent, but active and
persevering. Their plans are now boldly proclaimsi
and the issue is unmlstakably made. The democrat,
ic party are distinctly informed that their great >,

as lis shibboleth of strength. President Pierce bs
fearlessly taken up the gauntlet thrown down b.

" hich the democracy rallied to the standard Of OH
Hickory in that contest the democracy of the prese
day will rally to standard bearer in the iSse
with the same enemy. The result will be what
| always is when the democracy is united and dee,
mined-another brilliant victory. We do not ur
dertake to predict whose banner will wave over Or
victorious forces when the triumph is achieved br
we do predict unparalleled democratic victory
We have already furnished evidence as 10 thu
growing importance which black repubcanism a.
taches to the power of associated capital, but va
have additional proof on the subjec which will more
than sustain all we have said If there is any one
who undertakes the power of the New York Tribune
in making and controlling public sentiment in The
free States, we beg to remind him Of the amazing
spectacle which has been presented in the House d
! Representatives for more than two months. 1hg.
are in that body over one hundred members repre-
senting the popular sentiment they allege, of The
! free States. 1t is fact notorious to the count
that, whilst that body of members have adhere
with unbroken pertinacty to Mr., Banks as then
candidate for Speaker, there many OF them, prob
ably nearly one-half, who would prefer to see BE-
House organized by the election of some other man
If any other good reason can be given why thee
members have adhered so unreasonaby to Mr.. Banks
| than that they dare not encounter the denunclaum
| of the New York Tribune unable to disCCa
it.. Assuming that we have given the true reasOn
is one of the most humiliating spectacles ever Pc
scented 10 the country. The editor OF the lrIbn
looh fhn of,L
slave-driVerS, but slave.own in the South eve
piled his whip or held it over his slaves with mon
terrifying effect than has Horace Greeley tyTaniza
over his followers in the House of Representative
We allude to this state of things to impress the a

black republicanism exercises in the free Sales 4
we stale his power correctly, 1t becomes important

of bringing the power of associated capital and a

Without further comment, we copy from the TGbuA
of the I'd of February the following full and explicit
announcement on this subj ect:
"THE Pain OF VIcToRY.-For the present ,h
friends of freedom have but two agencies throus
which they can act definitely in aid of their prn5
