A FORMAL PRocEEDING.-The black
republican party of Kansas was formally
organized at Ossawatomie on the 18th
of last month by the men who have here
tofore figured under the leadership of
Gen. 10. Lane, of fragrant memory. II.
Greeley was present and acted as a sort
Of godfather to the bantling which was
brought forth. Avery formidable platform
consisting of no less than half dozen
whereases" and a round dozen Of 70
solyeds," was put through the usua
course, in which the democrats are accus.
cd of all the sins known to the decaloguc
and the black republicans extolled as the
embodiment Of all the heavenly virtues
A strong effort was made by some Of the
Leavenworth delegates 10 obtain an en-
dorsement Of the Philadelphia platform
bnt they were forced down. That was
good enough doctrine for the party il
1856, but it is not the thing nowadays.
This movement is made for the pur
pose Of securing the majority in the com
ing constitutional convention at VIVIAN
dotte, if possible. II would be unfortu
nate if they should be disappointed.

IHpIcATIoYs.-The indications multi
ply of the abandonment Of the black re-
publican party as n distinctive organiza-
ton and the coalition of all the elements,
North and South, of opposition to the
democratic party. Here is an indication
of the sort. The Savannah (Ga.) Re
publican, formerly wing, latterly know
knothing, says that it is willing to sup
port any sound patriotic statesman for
President and Vice President, of whatev-
or name, whose past history affords a
guaranty of REFORM" DC, and, further,
that il will "gladly unite with wings,
democrats, republicans, and men Of eve
ry name who, irrespective of past associ-
atoms, are willing TO come forward and
rescue the country from impending dan
gers" DC. Another indication of the
sort is that the black republican "nation-
nj committee" have lately been in session
at Albany, and are understood to have
informally decided that the convention for
the nomination of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency shall be
held at st. Louis, Wheeling, or some 9TH
or place in slave State. These are bill
ing and cooling movements. They are
preliminary to something more definite.
Meanwhile, the intense Seward men re-
monstrate. We fear Mr.. Seward has
gone to Europe at the wrong time.

WHAT FARMERS ARE DoING.-We
learn from gentleman who has recently
returned from the great corn growing
sections Of the West, that the farmers
there are making an extraordinary effort
to produce an abundance of corn as we'll
rs wheat. Hence an unusual breadth of
land has already been planted, and still
the good work continues, and will con-
tinue to the middle of the present month.
Every available acre will be used in pro-
ducing something of the grain kind. Even
cattle yards are not exempt from the
plough and hoe. Wheat is rapidly APP
preaching maturity in Southern Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky; and in the
course of month new wheat will be
abundant in market. We learn that
wheat still continues 10 grow finely in
Ottawa county, and heads are beginning
to exhibit themselves. Rye has nearly
attained its growth and an early harvest
may be expected.

A SEPARATION.


The Boston Tract Society, which has, since
1925, been a branch of the New York
one, has severed its connection with the
latter. On that occasion the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolred, That the vote of this Society in
1925, that it become branch of the New York
Society, be and is hereby rescinded and that
this Society resume its original position rs an
independent national institution. 1t is TO be
hoped, that should the relation which has existed
for so long time, and from which, in past years,
so great an amount Of good has resulted, be thus
terminated, the two Societies may henccforth
operate in their different spheres with harmony
and greatly increased usefulness, in promoting
the glory of our common Lord, and the saliva
tion of souls.
Resolred That the publication during the
present year Of any well written tract or tracts
which may DO offered to the Publishing Com
mittee, calculated to arouse and concentrate the
religious sentiment of all Christian mon against
the Slave trade, and to set forth its great wick
edness, will meet with the warm appreciation Of
the Society.

The Mount Vernon Cause.

The Enquirer of yesterday states that the
Vice Regent for Virginia, on Monday, for
warded to George W. Riggs, Treasurer Of
the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association OF
the Union, at Washington, the sum of Jft.
teen hundred dollars, the proceeds of the
tableau1 and concert recently given at the
Ballard House, in this city, under the aus
pieces of a number of accomplished and pa
triotic ladies, of whom the Vice Regent was
the leading directress. This is indeed a
handsome result, and with few more such
evidences of zeal in different sectious of the
Union, the Mount Vernon Association will
soon free itself from all obligation to Mr..
JOHN WASHINGTON. That will be glorious
event. The price paid for Mount Vernon is
exhorbitant-the bargain between Mr..
Washington and the ladies was hard one
for them but the manner in which they
have striven to meet their obligation and
secure the sacred ground to the nation, re-
bounds to their lasting honor and glory
They have more than fulfilled their contract,
having met their obligations before they
were due thus far. In thus anticipating
their bonds they have the advantage Of that
Uery liberal concession of their creditor by
which he eDaits the interest on those bonds for
the time their day Of payment may be antiei-
pated! This concession, it will be remem-
bered, was granted in reply to the earnest
appeal of MIR. Mcfarland for the remission
Of the entire interest, as so large sum was
to be paid by the ladies.
