The Real Objects of the Black Republican Con-
yeution

JONI p. HALE. OF New Hampshire, del
egate to the Black Republican Convention Of
j. une 18th, which nominated Fremont,
congratulated the Convention upon the spirit
Of unapimity with which il had done its
work In the course of his remarks be said:
believe that this is not 81 much Conven-
ton to change The administration Of the Gov
eminent, but to say whether there shall be any
Government to be administered. You have IS
sembled. not to say whether the Union shall be
preserved. but to say whether it shall he q
blessing or scorn and bissing among nations.
The utterer OF these sentiments is one Of
the most promineut men in the Black Repub-
can party, aud his expression, therefore, may
be considered as rejecting fully the views oi
that organization. Tho main object OF the
Convention which nominated FsEMoST, ac-
cordinS to this high negro worshippins au'
thority. was '',o say whether there shall bt
any government to. be administered" -

0-The Fusion papers tells us shat GARRr-
SON, WENDELL PHILLIPS and other open ad-
vocates Of disunion, are in favor Of the election
of BUCHANAN. Why are they in favor of Mr..
BUoHANAN's election ? 1t is we'll known
that these advocates of disunion have compli-
mensed the Republican party" as an organi-
zation Of "msritn as "a cork Of our hands
as "our otcn offspring" and as the party that
divides public opinion between the North and
the South opening the crack irhich shall b
driven to the center Of the Union" They ex.
press the belief that this party will be despe-
rate enough, if Mr.. BUCHANAN is elected, to
take open issue in favor Of dissolution OF the
Union, or, as GARRISON expresses it, "to tax,
their position under the banner Of disuaion." Ii
Is this that gives them so much encourage.
ment, and causes them to hope for the election
of Mr.. BUCHANAN. Whilst abusing him and
the Democratic party in the severcst terms, a
! the same time that they compliment the BlacI
Republican party and recognize it as their owl
offspring. they still hope for Mr.. BUCHANAN,
success, because it will drive the Black Repub
licans ito an open advocacy Of dissolution ,
which their acts are now developing" Thi
fact ii is that affords the Fusionists so mucl
cause for rejoicing 1t is very easy matte
to speak of GARRISON, PHILLIPS Il Co., as be
ing in favor of the election of Mr.. BUCHANAN
but it is not so easy for the Fusionists to dis
pose OF the reasons upon which that favor i
based.

" Can he Fight %


The great qualification for Office, at this
time, with the Black Republicans, seems 70
be an ability aud willingness to fight.

following significant languag
