THE UTTER DECENTRALIZATION OF THE BLACK RE
PUBLICANS.
When we carefully re-eYamne the list Of mmittees APP
pointed by Mr. Speaker Banks impossible shake of
the conviction that absorbing anxiety obtain position
and power had taken complete possession Of the minds
of the republican abolition members of the House
had of the more humble aspants for those crumbs Of
official favor which have fallen from the table OF the
Neglected officers OF that body There evident such
gasng eagerness for distinction that not only have these
gentle masters nlonopoli1ed all the committees that
expected have do with the slavery question: but they
have extended their rapacious desires SO incude
the other committees of any considerable Importance. II
is no wonder therefore, there enough graf
ify the minority of the House which elected Mr..
Banks, and this of course, without counting Mr.. Dunn
and his coporas guard, who, it appears have utterly
exinguished all their hopes of advancement by refusing
to support the candidate of Mr. Giddings. N
Nor it any MARVEL either that in this somewhat
dgnifed and ungraceful scramble for place the eyes of
Mr. Banks should have been permitted to wander
that section Of the Union the side of Mason and
Dixons line His family had to be provided for at
all hazards No matter who was overlooked, his own
household must be properly bestowed 1t is that in
che fuflmen of his parental Office he compelled to
give to New York less than charmanships to the
State of Maine les than two, (of highlyimportant
characer) Ohio four, Pennsylvania three and he
unable pass the shining merits of the brothers
Washburne in his anxiety remember and reward at
least Of the three in the House. We have already
alluded TO his worse than undignifed effort strike
down Messrs Houston and Stephens. To this list Of
personal injustice might add the Of Mr.. Fuller of
Maine, who the efficient chairman Of the Committee
Commerce in the last Congress- but who at the
tail of very nnmporant committee ALSO that of Mr.
Stewart of Maryland who called Mr. Banks out in expa-
nation of his remark letting the Union slide who
cupes quite obscure position unnporant commit
tee whilst Mr. Davis of Maryland, who contributed Mr.
Banks election by voting for Mr.. Fuller the last bal
lot occupies quite prominent place important

But why this extreme anxiety to concentrate into the
hands of few the various important charmanshps the
committees of the House2 We think found the Sc
cre 1T is because the leaders OF the black republican
party in the popular branch of Congress the hand
writing the WALL and they anxious to make hay
whilst the shines 1t because the experience of the
last months has taught them that they party
without bond Of unon-that they broken MAORI
ty-that they dsorganized organzation-and that
the places which know them will after the 4th of
March, 1857 know them no forever" In other words
they realize to their bitter cost the following pungent
marks Of the Democratic (ohio) Messenger:
fasonists entered Congress with 5s MEMBERS while
the democrats numbered u.s. To conquer these seventy
these usionsts spent three hundred fifteen tomsand
dollars audng to the OF Congress for the long
period OF their dcrgsnzation elect their and then
he elected with majority OF 80 members against him.
We submit If the world nobler Of
power OF principle and truth OF asebood
honesty The result has proved that the black republicans
poweress in the House. heir victory is barren
the Desert Sahara They do nothing except peLd
the money the people, If il takes three hundred and
thousand dollars elect Speaker what win it

Nothing could show the desperation and folly OF the flu
sion better than this eager appetite for Office

the way the overthrow which awaits them In November

restoration Of the Missouri Compromise they ngloriousy
