Mr. CLArp Of Buffalo, was the Republi.
can candidate for Secretary Of State, At the
recent election in New York. He j. the
editor Of the Buffalo Expres;, the leading
Repubi lean Journal in Western New York,
lie was defeated Of course, by GIDEON j.
Trcgzg, the Democratic candidate, and also
an editor. In recent article in the EIpreS,.
Mr.. CLArr moralizes as follows 10 reference
10 the disastrous defeat Of the Blacks in
New York:
Everything seems to have been swept away
by this pOlitica! pestiienee which has wrought
quietly bat sHcctually in destroying the Repub'
lican Party. Well, let it 20. We are content.
II the Republicans care so little for their princi
pies and advantages a. a party, a. to sIeep
while the enemy II abroad violating TIE isopub

ertaken them. This resuhshors that h,ers Is no
Rspubiican PdrfH and that which appeared to
be such one year ago, was = sort Of mirags
which vas thrown upon the public view b, a
peculiar condition Of the atmosphere, ahh
which disappeared when the change Of wind
came. The people entered the Republican
party last year from love Of the principles II
profe ssed, and showed their devotion for those
principles ia a majority whose record il a

After that victory the party bteams more intimate.

The result ofthc New York election, Mr.
CLArr says, "1,ors that there u no Repub'
han patty" lie is correct. The Repub
lican party is dead. The only issue upon
which IL ha4 been successful, las been swept
away. If President BrcHASAS would re-
move Gov. WALKER. Of Kansas, as the
Blacks desire, il might possibly give them
another lease Of power But President
BUCHANAN will not remove the Governor Of
Kansas, and consequently the Black Repub-
lican party must go under.
We sec ample evidence Of this in the at
tempt on the part OF the Republican leaders
to raise new issues on which to unite IL new
party. a protective tariff is talked Of and
n United States Bank is limited at. An al
lance with the Know Nothngs is openly
sought, and in most States has been effected
In New York. where the X Ms and the
Sewarditcs have been remarkably bitter up
on each other, the breach has been healed
and a, the recent election union tickets
composed Of Know Nothing aud Rcpub-
CANS were supported in many parts Of the
State.
