THE GREAT IssUfs VISIONS PARTIES The mig
ger the foundation soa Of almost every question which
div des and subdvdes tl o teal parties OF the present
day. The almighty dollar II Ia said, yields influence
which guides and controls everything; but IL Is the
almighty niger which is the handspring Of poll
ttcal organizations, aod which agitates the
country from It's fees 10 the centre. Popular
sovereignty, free Kansas Congressional Intervention
and State rights, all and each branch from the
prolific question Of slavery in the South. And on
these issues the leaders toe party in different
tons Of the Union, and in In the locality
take opposite grounds For instance, In Kentucky We
find the democratic party divided popular sovereign

but that it should be left entirely people to decide
upon for themselves; and the other insisting tia

opposition IN that State strongly in favor Of the latter
doctrine. In Mime and Illinois, Douglas Territorial

exclusion Of almost every other question, while the Do
Of the South take the other sde support

constitution, In accordance with the bred Scott decizion
In Virginia the democracy divided much the
they in Kentucky but the lines have not yet been so
strongly drawn. The republicans also cut up upon
these issues In New York, OHIO and the Eastern
States black republication il little better than aboi
tonism, because the abolition party, with Gerrt Smith
the head, completely Swaiowed up by the former in
1858, through the brutal and bloody manifesto Of
VIM. II. Seward. The ultra republicans In the
North and West, with Seward, Weed, Greeley and
Governor Chase at their head uphold the pEinciple
that Congress has power the question Of slavery and
planting themselves upon the Philadelphia platform, de-
mand Congressional Intervention TO the extent Of forcing
slavery from the Territories In Kansas and Ne
braska republcapism falls back upon "squatter sove
reignty." In those Territories the Nebraska bill
is the basis of their platform, and q plain de-
NAL of the right Of Congress TO interfere with the question
of slavery way the other is the burhen Of their
creed Greeley went pilgrimage 70 Kansas for the pur-

running counter the principles Of black repub
canism in the North but his attempt was vain. He sue
ceeded in winning q few 10 hs side, but they
only succeeded in making little commoton in the Ossa-
wattome Convention which inaugurated the party.
When the question taken 10 decide for against the
principle Of popular sovereignty the leading measure Of
repubicansm the Affirmative was 30 strong that the
negative vote counted. Besides these differences
OF opinion the democrats divided In the South on the
right Of the States to secede from the Union when they
become dissatisfied and the question Of the reopenng
of the African slave trade and at the North the opposi
ton allies have fallen out the principle Of allowing mig
gers VOTE and extending the time prescribed by
TO render foreigners qualified 10 exercise the right Of

and allowed to WIDEN and the distinctive lines
permitted strengthen with tme there will be hot
work in the President making Conventions of next year.
such perhaps as has never before been seem The
prospect looks threatening.
Know NoIHNGIsM in NEW JgRsEy.-The American party
of New Jersey held Convention in New Brunswck on
the 18th instant and by resolutions nousy pissed,
declared that American organz throughout the
State and Union ought be maintained national poi
al party. and recommending the party TO it's
proper legitimate position Of independence This would
look very bold en- the part Of the Know Nothngs and
probably would elicit admiration for the exhibition OF
determined spirit, IL not that the resolution
calls for State Convention Of the party TO be held in
Trenton the 7h OF September next the very time and
place for the holding Of the Republican State Convention
This has suspicious appearance, to say the least,
curious people agh. be induced 10 ask If 1t IL their
wish to sell out why DO they propose to their cab

worth two cents the republicans will have them and they
