re- The Black Republican National
Committee have issued circular to the
people of the United States, filled with
most extravagant abuse of the Demo-
cratic part y&sspredicting ruin to the coun-
try should the Democracy again succeed
in another Presidential contest, and call
ing upon the odds and ends of all other
parties to join the Republican party, as
the only political organization which can
successfully resist the abuses and corrup-
tons which they charge upon the pres
ent Democratic Administration.
twill be remembered that the Amer
lean" State Convention, which assembled
in Baltimore in July last--whilst they
were equally severe in their denuncia-
ton of the Democracy put forth, atthe
same time, an invitation to '.all the clcs
mcnts of opposition" to meet on some
common ground, and organize a peoples
party, for the purpose Of defeating the
Democracy.
Thiamanifested some disposition to
give and take but not SO with the
Black Republicans; they declare their
organization the only ono to which the
country can look, with any hope, to
overthrow the Democratic party. They
do not intend to admit of any modifca-
tion of their platform they hare saeorn
eternal cnmity to tie South, and cannot
receive into fellowship any Southern man,
unless he fully endorses their views
Asa proof Of this they dc not even con-
descend to allude to the American
party. It's evident, therefore, that they
arc determined to repcl any proposition
from the latter which looks to an ANAL
gamation of their respective principles.
The oil cannot mix with the water They
have scanned the whole ground, and vir-
tually say to the American" party Of
the South, you can bring no troops to
Troy, and We arc not disposed to leopard
any Of our strength at the North for the
sake of accommodating youby any mod
iiication Of our principles
