~Ths Black Republicans Of New
York, few days since, had the pre-
sumption to invite speaker Banks to
come to New York to make speech
for Fremont, on the steps OF the Mer-
chants Exchange. The President OF
the Merchants Exchange Company,
however, has very properly informed
the nigger-worshippera that if there
ars to be any lis-union shrieks for
freedom in Wall Street, they must be
uttered somewhere else than on the
stsps Of the Merchants Exchange an

This IL the only withdrawal, however. that
Mr.. Buchanan has in contemplation.

POLITICAL liens.

At the late city election In Memphis, Ten
nessse, the democratic candidate for Mayor,
Mr. Douglass, was elected by q majority OF
three hundred and ninety over his Know
Nothing competitor. A year ago Memphi.
gave the Know Nothings one hundred and
seventy majority.
At the Boilers Convention in Massachu-
setts, on the 1st instant, gentleman stated
that Mr. Fulmsr, q New York Alderman, In
formed him that while in w sshington in 1857,
he stopped at Browns Hotel, where Mr.. Ere
mont had rooms, and was acquainted with
Col F.; he saw that gentleman at high mass
and partaking Of sacrament, and at dinner,
on the same day, Mr.. Fremont spoke to him OF
the services of the forenoon, and said he IRE
mont) was q Roman Catholic.
The Philadelphis Ledger mentions q rumor
that it is the intention of the friends Of Dir.
Fillmore in Pennsylvania, and the friends OF
Mr. Fremont, each to have an electoral ticket,
but tn at the same names will be upon both
tickets, and will be 80 arranged by transposi-
ton that the tickets cast by the respective
friends Of the two candidates will be known
one from tho other. Then, whichever ticket
has the most votes, the candidate for whom it
is cast will receive the electoral vote Of the
whole. This, it is expected, will unite the
opposition to Mr.. Buchanan without dividing
the vote.
