The Cuba Question with the Black Republic
cans-Whnt 1t Is, and What II Means.

There is trouble in the black republican camp.
The Cuba question is an apple of discord for its
followers. The proposition to give Mr. Buchanan
authority to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba,
and thirty millions of dollars to be used in pay
ing for it if he buys it, awakens the most varied
emotions among its leaders, We republish in
another column picture of the scene, being lead
ing articles from four Of the black republican
journals Of this city-the Tribune, Courier and En-
qs,irer, Eypress and Times.
The Tribune brings the most common sense to
bear on the question, and frankly acknowledges
that If the democrats get the Cuba issue before
the people, " their battle for 1860 is half won"
1t calls up sundry vivid rccolections of the Polk
and Texas, Pierce and Lone Star, and other cam
paigns, from which it seems TO have gathered
some political wisdom. So it goes in. tooth and
nail, against the Slidell proposition calls II
folly, juggle, a nefarious scheme-says the de-
mocratic statesmen have no tack, that they are
set OF political gamblers and not such idiots as
they would at first seem to be. Very good for
you, Master Greeley Our old friend Webb. of
the regular army, improves the occasion to show
his reading of the Newgatc Calendar, his extern
sive knowledge Of Spain where he has never
been talks with holy horror Of this "tampering
with The Spanish government" which he calls
bribery forgetting free wool readiness last year.

The POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE Day
We perceive, by notice in our news columns,
that the old wing party, of Broadway House
fame, has again risen from its ashes and started
a new organization under the ancient banner.
This gives no less than five distinct party orga-
nizations in the feld-to wit, the Tammany Hall
democracy, old and the Tammany new, the re-
publican, the wing and the Know Nothing or
American, with all their numerous cliques and
subdivisions Nearly all these organizations are
headed by professional politicians who desire to
keep their names before the public in order to be
ready to cut in for the spoils in the event of q
new deal Of the political cards. They are purely
arbitrary, and they represent no positive
strength. Still, in the event of heated Presi-
Dental contest, such as the next federal election
promises to be, they may be all important as
controlling or influencing large floating vote
1t is well enough, then, to keep an eye upon
their movements, which may yet produce very
significant results. The old wings evidently do
not intend to die without struggle. They have
serious intentions of convoking meeting in this
city, the object Of which convention is to bring
about full free and fair discussion of the polti-
cal Issues of the day, and their bearing
upon the prospects Of the opposition in the next
campaign. 1t is proposed that this meeting
shall be addressed by the eminent statesmen
who were laid upon the shelf by the anti-slavery
agitation, but whose names are still strong with
people that often neglects but never forgets.
A gathering of such men az Everett Choate and
Winthrop, of Massachusetts,; Evans, of Maine;
Washington Hunt, of New York; Crittenden,
Of Kentucky, and Bell Of Tennessee, could not
fail to carry with it great weight, and exercise
extended influence over the country. We should
see, then, while second, third and fourth rate
men were squabbling about petty things in
Congress, the really prominent and leading
statesmen Of the country, including men who are
out Of Office, and never expect to be in, coming

together with purely patriotic motives to ex-
change their views upon the great questions be-
fore the nation. Whatever might be the ulti-
mate effect of such meeting, there can be no
doubt that its immediate results would infuse
healthy sentiment into the politics Of the day.
