THE BLACK REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME

In one of our articles. some days ago, we stated
that, regarding the Executive and Congress as al
ready won by reason Of the prcponderance Of the
free over the slave States the next step of the
publican party would be to remodel the Supreme
Court so as to place that department also in their
hands, We find this prediction of ours fully cor
roborated by the New York Evening Post, leading
abolition organ. The Post says:
We expect to have clear republican majority In the
House of Representatives of the next Congress- he 36th
republican President and Vice President and cabinet for
majority in the Senate too at least in the 3Sth Congress
1862 which will make the working portion OF the gov
eminent unit Suppose act of Congress should pass
calling national convention to revise and amend the
constitution of the United States with half the deter
mination and Of the rascalty employed by this
administration 10 carry the Lccompton Outrage the
operation of majority Of the State Legislature might
be secured to appoint delegates to tho convention,
and the convention might proceed to amend the
constitution by abolishng the slave representation
and the surrender Of fugitive slaves altering the appor
tionment to correspond, and remodeing the Supreme
new Judges be appointed, and then simply order the
succeeding election to be held under the new sche
uIe the returns DO made and elections certified by tho
president of the convention.
sOn the 18th of March, 1865, the government would
be peaceaby inauguated the basis ready for har
monious and resistless action In all its egsa
tive executive and judicial And any minority of States
would find themselves without remedy deliveranco.
They would be within the boundaries and occupying the
territory Of the United States and subject to all the laws
thereof present. Other nations would at once
cognse the authority Of the government and it's right to
the exercise Of its laws within Its bounds az here
toore And power earth could review or alter the

THE MUNICIPAL NOMINATION.

The democratic nomination for mayor has been
ceved with cordiaty and enthusiasm and there every
reason to believe that the united anti vote
will be given for Colonel BnRar Theicns Of other gem
tlemen who struggled with commendAbe zeal to
the nomination for their respective avots unite
with cordially that insures triumphant campaign and
browning victory
The citizens at large whose home interests involved
the coming contest feel that in Colonel BERREr they
have candidate worthy Of their confidence and of their
support He is Of unspotted integrity, of patr
otto impulses and Of marked fitness for the station His
previous public services guarantee of his ad
instratvc ability and Of the gertrude that II elected
he will maintain the tranquility and advance the prosper
ty Of the city, by strict and an impartial perform
ance of his official duties.
We are we'll aware that the leaders Of the routed
horts Of knownothingism seeking opportunity
rally their forces around some flag which may
tce the unwary into their ranks TO carry out their
hatred TO the democratic party they may profess to be
'no-pary men 1.-The most dangerous and .insidious Of
opponensu-bu feel assured that their schemes will
not succeed cunningy though they may be laid. Dem
ocrats will sustain the regular nomination made by
convention of their party and the candidate of that
vention Colonel BRE will receive the cordial and the
united support Of large majority Of the citizens of the
national metropolis. gei7 So. 8isF FR
