one concert of action, SHERMAN might have then

The snti-savery demonstrations which have lately
been made in the Northern States have rendered
Black Republicanism odiOus as well as ridiculous
One good result has already been produced by the
above which the interests of business have taken.
The republican leaders have abandoned the purpose
of nominating Mr. Seward and have determined TO
nominate MIR. Bates OF Mo. as President and Henry
Reed of Penn. as Vice President The movement
is very adroit in party sense, Tor it will concilae
the old line wings and the industrial interests of the
middle States But ii viii DESTROY the motive power
of the republican parry. 1t para Yves the aggressive
principle of the snt-slayery party. Without the
power of aggression and ,he stimulus to execute it
the anti-slavery element of the opposition will be
defunct.
The purpose Of the republicans to rally under the
highly respectable candidates above named will be
manifested the meeting OF the Republican Nation
al Committee which takes place the present month.
II will be followed no doubt by secession of the
abolition wing Of thu republican party and its
ganlzstiOn under some of its most distinguished

The Nashville Patriot, in its summary of the Lo-

"On the subject of private interpretations thei
appears a disposition in the House to take depaI

Spring Companies, DC were sought, was consideres
during the week and rejected. This may be regard
ed 8 wholesome mo vement. Our statute books fol
years have been filed with speculative charter
which contemplate no general or public good, bu
having reference to small individual enterprises
which generally amount TO nothing"
We are not more surprised than gratified to fin
such admission in an Opposition paper. 1t i,
the first time that ever knew a paper of tina
party to disapprove of an ndiscrimnate granting O
charters. Small, is the concession on the part o.
the Patriot, we welcome it. Great evils have been
inflicted upon the country, aud great outrage has
been done the constitution, by the wanton and reck
less abuses that have been made of the power au
tiOrzing the creation Of these soulless conscience
less privileged aui irresponsible bodies and while
members Of tbs Democratic party are far from hav
ing clean hands on ths subject it is gratifying to
know that. gen sral thing the majority and
most respectabe of their members in every Legis
lAture have stood opposed to such abuses, whilst the
large majority Of the Opposition have as invariably
fOstered and encouraged them.
The time has come when all liberal minded men
should rise ~ against these abuses. and protect
themselves an protect the constitution by plant
ing their indignant heels upon the political fortunes
of sl aspiring men who would so tamper with
tie lost sacred principles and best interests of So
ciety.
But there are many like the Patriot who, while
constrained to admit the evils resulting from such
frequent grants OF speculative charters are satisfied
to vent their opposition upon such Insignificant pro
jects as Spring Companies, &c" but We no hos
