THE NEW HOLY ALLIANCE-DIvISION OF THE
SPOIIS.

SPOILS.
We learn from card in the New York Tribune
signed by William Dennison, as chairman of the Ohio
State central committee of the backrepublican par
ty that it is agreed by the several State committees
of that party to holds general meeting in this city
on the 24th of the present month. Mr. Dennison
states that the object of the meeting is to consult
and devise the best means for promoting the future
interests Of the republican party and that it is
especially demanded at this time by 'the condition
of affairs at Washington" The real object of the
meeting, no doubt, is to arrange the details and fix
upon the terms of the proposed alliance between
the Douglas men and the black-republicans The
committees not altogether willing we suspect
to trust Mr. Seward and his friends hereabouts with
the entire control of the matter. The cordial well
come which that gentleman aud the New York Tri-
bune has extended to the applicants for member
ship in the republican church, tho ample pardon
for past offences, and, above ALL the liberal promises
of future vors made to tbem do not exactly suit the
ideas of the leading committeeman, Having them
selves eye to the spois they not prepared to
see them pledged and bartered away to a set of
eleventh-hour converts. We think the committee
over,jealous of their rights, and are put
ting themselves to great deal of unnecessary
trouble for their protection. We can assure
them that they have been in the slightest dam
ger of losing anything by the action of their leading
friends here in this matter. The promises made and
the prospects of favor held out have been LIBERAL it
is true, but they simply tubs for the whale
tempting bait which Seward and Greeley have used
to entrap their victims. They know they cannot re-
deem their promises and pledges and they would
not do it if they could. Once in their power, they
will be the first to order the new converts to a back
scat, with advice to wait patiently until their elders
and betters have been served. IT. perchance there
should be any stray crumbs falling from the
black-republican table, Douglas and his followers
will possibly be allowed to pick them mp f they
can but more than this Seward and Greeley do not
intend them to have until at least their old friends
are fully and satisfactorily rewarded They know how
to drive bargain and may be trusted to take care
of their party friends when the interests of the latter
arc simply brought in contact with those of parcel
of renegade democrats. BIT it is well enough that
