DEMOCRACY, AWAKE !-INTRIGUEs
OF THE BLACK REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The restless ambition and the insatate love
| Of plunder of this heterogeneous assemblage,
banded together, in the language of one of its
prophets, by the meanest motives" are con-
stantly urging its leaders into intrigues more
remarkable for every other characteristic than
for integrity.
We are authentically acquainted with the
fact, that the great intrigue now engaging the
attention of the Black Republican leaders, is
through their spies and tools in the camp of the
American party, to bribe and seduce over the
leaders Of that party to repudiate Mr.. Fillmore,
and to nominate Judge Mclean which being
done, the Black Republicans will also nominate
Judge Mclean.
By this move the Seward clique would crafty

nifty of this clique towards Mr.. Fillgore.
By having him repudiated by his own friends,
by those protesting personal and political at
tachment, they crafty their vengeance on him,
and humiliate and degrade his soi-disant
friends, alike in their own estimation, and in
the eyes Of honorable men of every class of
| politics. To bring about this result the Ameri-
can party is told that if it will abandon
Mr. Fillmore, and the principles upon which
his nomination was founded, and will nominate
the man of their (the Black Republican, selec-
ton, that then the Black Republicans will also
nominate Judge Mclean, and that thus-the
two antagonistc parties united-they may per-
haps, overcome the Democratic party. The

party alleges it is based, and which are deemed
by them paramount to all other matters, and
to unite with their traducers in a subordinate
capacity. Judge Mclean knows, or will be
made full well to know, and to acknowledge,
that if thus nominated he will owe it to the
dexterous intrigues of the Black Republicans.

Mr.. Fillmore from New York, and some other
States, and have Judge Mclean substituted in

Judge Mclean will lie obliged to have, or has
already had, a very acceptable understanding
with the leading Black Republicans, however
secret it may be, which will ensure to that
party the controlling influence in case Of sue

We know that many Of the American party
utterly refuse TO repudiate Mr.. Fillmore, or to
ally themselves with the Black Republican
party, but we have reason to believe the in
trigues Of this party have debauched many Of
the American party, whose virtue proves easy to
those disposed to purchase.
We know not the grounds upon which is
based this confidence in Judge Mclean by the
Black Republican party; its leaders may have

BY its wickedness Under these circumstances,
we must consider the expectation Of dshonor

by the Black Republicans, to be only the fiction

for the reality.
The ineffable meanness Of the Black Repub.

faction which il has unscrupulously denounced,
and has itself been by them so oft rejected with
loathing and contempt, is the conclusive evi.
