What Is Rennhiicnni.mI

We Iar that It will soon be as difficult tOan-
swer this question satisfactorily, as it has been
to solve that important query as to the identity
Of the individual who struck Billy PattersOn-
The past six months has demonstrated that the
h'ck R'publieans either have no. principles, or,
that they are really to relinqui,h them at any
time for the purpose OF temporarily defeating
the Democracy. The unanimous vote Of the
Former party in Gvor of the Crit,endcn Jil,
which reniel the right of Congress 10 decide
the slavery question, even within the territories
, followed directly upnn such announcements as
these from ihe lips OF black republicans leaders:
''Mr. Farm wnr1hs-So help me God, another
slave State shall nryer eater the Uniun by my
! vote.
"Mr. GuIdingS-I viii never consent that
/ Ohio shall associate with another slave State.

Lewis b. CampbelI-If ever vote fnr the ad.
mission ola slave State or any moIc Slave terri
tory, hope my right hand may drop from my
arm"
Here was a fair specimen Of word eating On
the part OF these magnateS Of this consistent
party; but subsequent events have not in the
slightest degree improved their position.-
While some the Republican Conventions arc
re affirming the old dogmas of the party, such
as no more slave States, the freedom of the ter
ritOries, &c. others arc accepting the principles
of popular sovereignty, as maintained by the
Democracy and carried out, and rendered trum-
phant through many gallant contest. In a
speech accepting the nomination, Mr.. Corwin
thus explicitly stated his position upon the point
Of Congressional interference with the slavery
question in new States or Territories
| 4 "He had seen it stated as true, and did not
know but it was true-he diun't care whether
it was or not, that he was not good republi-
can Well he thought he was, Daughter, } but
| if it was doctrine the Republican party that
State had not right to admit slavery or eXpe
it, and should be kept out of the Union ior doing
either of these, then he was not good Republi-
can He felt that the Constitution gave to every
State or Territory the right to form its own in
stitutions and having formed them to come in
on an equal footing with the other States. All
discrimination for or against its admission, Sim
ply because it adopted or rejected slavery, was
unconstitutional"
John A. Bingham, in accepting the nomina.
ton, declare! himselfin favor o no more slave
States, and no more slave territory, and as on
previous occasions, said he would vote against
their admission. He is the candidate OF the re-
publican party, so is Mr.. Corwin. Mr.. Corwin
says the people have right to form their own
nstitutions--Bingham says Congress. Now. is
it net singular that these two champions Of .hc
great Republican party should differ so widely
upon this question? One place, their candidates
claim the people have the right to form their
domestic nstitutions-another place. that Con-
gress. Which born Of the dilema does the black
republican press Of this district take? Speak
out, gentlemen. =
