The Difference of a Year,

At the Black Republican State Conven-
ton of New York, heldat Syracuse, in Sep
TENDER, 1858, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted as part of the creed of
the party: )
That the principle embodied in our present
State Constitution, of requiring some time to
intervene between the act of naturalization and
consequent exercise of the right of suffrage, is
sound and just; and we recommend such an
extension of that intervening time as will pre-
clude the future naturalization of voters under
the auspices of partisan committees, with a
view to using the votes so procured in pend.
ing election.
Itwas generally understood and admitted
that this intervening time was to be one
year, and not two as it was made in Massa-
chusetts. At their Convention al the same
place last week, they adopted the following
resolution, the latter part of which is in
strong contrast with that of last year:
That American citizens all over the world,
as such, are entitled to the prompt, perpetual,
efficient and fearless protection of the Federal
Government; that, consequently, we abhor and
reprobate the doctrine of the present Federal
citizen who may be sojourning in foreign coun-
tries, either for purposes of bushes or pleasure,
to the tender mercies of French drill sergeants
and Austrian jailers; and that, rejecting, as we
do. all class or discriminating legislation as I'M
equal and unjust, we adhere to the principle of
the Philadelphia platform of 1856, which pro-
claims that the spirit of our institutions, as well
as our fundamental constitution, guarantees
liberty of conscience ard equality Of rights to
all citizens.
Here the Black Republicans say that they
reject all class or discriminating legislation
as unequal and unjust, and yet we see that
it was only one year ago that the very same
men in the very same place unanimously re-
solved to adopt that very kind of discriminate
ing legislation which above all others is
most offensive to foreign-born citizens, as we
saw when it was made by the same party in
Massachusetts. We all know why this is
now denounced as unequal and unjust. The
foreign.born citizens all know the reason. 1t
is mere clap.trap to catch their votes, which
are very essential to the welfare of the party
in New York. Were it not so, were their
votes as scarce there as they are in Massa-
chusetts, we should see the party in New
York stick to and re-afirm their principles
of last year and not denounce them as un-
equal and unjust.
AS to the protection of naturalized citi-
zens abroad, no Federal Administration has
ever taken as high ground as that of Mr..
BUCHANAN.

A NEW kind of bread, known as arated
bread, is now made in London, in the man.
ufacture of which no fermentation is used.
The process consists in forcing ready pre-
pared carbonic acid, by means of suitable
machinery, into the water with which the
dough is prepared, then mixing the -four,
water and salt together in highly condensed
atmosphere. From the mixing apparatus
the dough is received into the baking pans,
and passed into the ovens without being
touched by the hands. By this means the
constituency of the flour is left both un-
changed and mountaineering loaf be.
ing accordingly absolutely pure bread. If
the attempt succeeds, it will supply great
desideratum, as the medical profession have
pronounced fermented bread injurious to a
large class of individuals.

politicians who seek that result, as the most
direct route to their coveted haven-Disun-
ion. There are others who do not believe
it possible, and who do not feel bound,
therefore, to take any steps to avoid it.
But there is very large number of saga
cious, patriotic and influential public men
in the Southern States who do apprehend
such an issue, and who are open advocates
OF the nomination of Mr.. DOUGLAS as the
surest means of averting it, and it is not at
all unlikely that their numbers will steadily
increase"

Emancipation In Jamaica,
line american Missionary says, respecting
the Jamaica mission:

The American Missionary says, respecting
the Jamaica mission:
Letters from the missionaries contain but lit.
tie that is encouraging, and not little that is
trying. one OF them writes that crime is on
the increase IN tnat Island, the only exception to
this being found among the people that are under
the direct influence of the missionaries. In the
mission church at Elliot, there had been some
painful defections, and it had been found neces
sary to cut off four of the members. Another
missionary writes that all the churches through.
out the island seem to be suffering from reac-
ton that has been going on ever since the time
of special zeal that marked the first few years
succeeding emancipation.
Reluctant as the philanthropist may be to
admit the fact, the scheme of emancipation
adopted by the British Government at so
great cost, in her West India colonies, has
proved disastrous failure, pecuinarily and
morally. The evidence on this point is of
too positive character to be rejected any
longer. Certainly, whatever may be thought
of the increased acknowledgements of the
London Times in relation to this matter,
testimony like that quoted above, can neither
be srs cected nor misconstrued. After such
an experiment, commenced under auspices
the most favorble, and with objects the most
melting to earnest endeavor, the honest
abolitionist may we'll inquire if, after all, he
is not laboring under delusion; whether
he has not greatly misconceived the facts,
and whether the condition of servitvde pre-
vailipg throughout the Southern States is
not, all things considered, better fitted to
raise the negro in the scale of mental, NOR
al, and physical endowment, than promis-
cuous emancipation. To be sure, the pro-
cess of culture and development is often
protracted through several generations :;
but when at length the imported African
has passed through the various chrysalis
changes, and energies from the deep degrade
ton of his condition when in Africa, to the
character of an intelligent Christian free
man,-perhaps on the shores on of the Lber-
ian Republic, or at the northern terminus of
the U. G. Railroad,-it is apparent that his
period of tutelage was not one of unmiti-
gated evil. However much the abolitionist
may detest the institution" his fondness
for its graduates is unequivocal; though it
might be quickly changed to loathing were
the object of his regard presented in it's
primitive squalor, degradation, and savage
ferocity.
As to the advantages of the system to the
master, that is quite another matter.-N. Y

Declaration of Independence Monument

The committee on plans of the National
Monument Association in charge
the erection, by the thirteen original States,
of a grand monument in Independence
square, Philadelphia, commemorative of
the enactment of the Declaration of indie
pendence, met in New York, on the 18th.
Architects and artists were invited to SUBJ
NIT designs and estimates for the structure.
The monument and iron railing to enclose it
may occupy base or diameter of sixty feet.
The monument is to have thirteen sides or
faces, to be united by an entablure on which
the Declaration of Independence, with the
names of its signers, will be craven, and
which may constitute the base of the work,
to be surmounted by shaft, column, or
other superstructure. A panel, tablet or
niche will be left in each face, devoted to
each Of the States, and to be filled up here
after with such Inscriptions and devices, in
harmony with the whole design, as they may
respectively and determinately propose.
The materials of the monument will be
marble, granite, or other stone, and the cost
is limited to $l5O,0oO for the structure and
iron railing around it. All designs must be
on paper two feet wide, and drawn on a
scale of four feet to the inch. A premium
of $500 will be given for the plan that may
be selected by the trustees, and one Of 5000
for the second best in merit. All plans sent
in will be the property of the committee,
and will be retained.

Tn. virginia Elect,ou.

The news from Virginia indicates that the gallant
Democracy of that gallant old State have again
withstood the charge Of the Federal Know Nothing
Opposition forces. This triumph the Democratic
masses have achieved without the aid of their lead
ers and in spite Of the fsctious and designating
efforts of some Of the most prominent men of the
party While the politicians we're quarTeling among
themselves for precedence and place, the people
have come forth at the promptngs Of their own pat
rotic hearts project their rights and defend the
time-konored faith Of their fathers.
The Opposition we're thoroughly organized; their
leaders we're active, Eeslsus, and energetic. They
encouraged their followers with hopes inspired by
the dissensOns and euds of rival aspirants in the
Democratic party. They flooded the State with the
most unfOunded charges against the Democratic
candidates and against the administration. They
resorted to every means to promote the success of
their party In the face of this formidable move
ment, several of the leading Democratic organs
we're engaged in efforts to promote the selfish and
ambitious schemes Of political aspirants. They
forgot their devotion to principles in their devotion
to particular men, and suffered the Opposition ca
lumnes and fslsebOods to go uncOntradiOted, while
RSA-N~SAooS
party. The men in whom the Democracy had con-
fded and whom they had been accustomed to fol-
low, we're pursuing their own selfish schemes and
Objects Indifferent to the of their party or
actually cOnspiring with the Opposition to encOm-
pass its defeat.
Under these circumstances the Democratic masses
have taken their standards into their own hands
They saw they had nothing to hope from the men
they had honOred and trusted and they resolved to
rely on their own unaided and undisciplined en-
ergies. They we're VICTORIOUS; the opposition are
routed, and Virginis-ths citadel Of States rights
has been protected by the gallantry aud patriot
ism of her sons against the combined forces of fed~
erslsts and frsesoerF.
The result in Virginia confirms our confidence in
the honest instincts Of the people which never fail
to guide them Alright even when those they have
trusted would betray and mislead them. With such
a victory in the face of such endorsements the
Democracy Of Virgins, have nothing to fear here
after either from the assaults of open enemies or
the treschery of pretended friends.

The virginia Elections.

The exact result Of the election in Virginia can
not be known for some days The dispatches I'M
der our telegraph head are meagrs, but from those
reserved from personal friends in that State we
think there can be no doubt Of the election of Mr.
LETcHsR for Governor by one or two thousand ma
jOrity. The balance Of the State ticket-Lisuten-
ant Governor and Attorney Gsneral-has much
larger majority, no doubt equslIing the average
Democratic msjOrity for the lost ten years OF the
thirteen Members Of Congress to which the State is
entitled, the Democrats have certainly elected
TWELVE. And the Legislature is Democratic in
both branchss.
These results show that the State is as firmly
Dsmooratie at any previous period, aRdis glance
1t. the figures fully explains why our candi-
date for Governor has less than the usual Demo
ornaic majority
The men who opposed the nomination Of LEToH-
n, comprising very strong and influential minor
ty Of the party, entered into his support with no
particular wish for bis election. Taking sdvAn-
tage Of this feeling. the Opposition, DESTROYS Of
making demonstration which should benefit the
fusion party, ran candidates for Congress only in
three or four districts, while they encouraged Gin
dependent" Democrats TO contest with the regular
nominees Tor seats IN halI tne olslrlctS- IN this
way, the most extensive system of swapping votes
was encouraged, and, Is the returns show, was
pFactieed. 1t was these contests for Congress and
this swapping Of votes which, added to some old
and recSnted, but misrspresente6 opinions of Mr..
LErozRR, and the sickness which prevented him
from canVsssing the State, reduced his majority,
while en- cid fashioned Democratic victory Is gained
for all the rest Of the ticket
We think that We can safely assure our Demo
cratic friends that when the fun returns re-
csived, with the votes for all the candidates, and
when the tresehsry Of pretended friends and the
misrepresentation of enemies towards Mr.. LRTcHEB
shall be exposed and understood, the result Of thit
election in Virginia, Will be acknowledged by our
enemies and regarded by our friends ss one Of the
most glorious triumphs ever achieved BY the Demo
eracy Of the Old Dominion.

B6r We have but little of the troubles in Ten~
which our political friends in Virginia have
just encountered. Our candidate for Governor is
the unanimous choice of his party and is achieving
on the stump succession Of the most brilliant iris
jumps on record in our history In eight Of the ten
Congressional districts the most perfect unanimty
as to candidates prevails and in one Of the other
two districts the second Democrat cannot iniuFe the
cause In the Msury district the contest for Con-
gress msy cost Us some votes if it is not settled
but we see movements towards q settlement which,
with the example Of the effect of such conflicts in
Virginia. We hope will be pressed to satisfactory
result But two three conflicts for the Legislature
now remain, and those, We are confident, will soon
be settled. All is harmony aSd peace. Weare act
ing upon the patriotic maxim, that sit is no time for
private quarrsls when the enemy is In front - In
Virginia our friends fought ch other harder than
they fought the common enemy. They whipped the
common enemy, but they SCARED each other pretty
badly too. We psrpetrais no such folly. 1t is our
mission to crush out the smOuldering remains Of
Know Nolhingism, under its new name of "Opposi-
ton" We shall fulfil our mission, because we are
marching to battle shoulder to shoulder; and, in
stead Of spending half eur strength in fighting each
ether, reserve it ell for the enemy

Bui Gel b. had besn fer ore session member Of

empty sufHcieuf to show his Federal proelivities.
No man svsr lsb0rsa more faithfully 70 serve the

things, he aided In the passage Of law vssng in tie

liability Of the stock holders and beyond the power
Of repeal; en- act which the Supreme Court Of thu
State subsequently declared Unconstitutional, and
as alarming to every enlightened mind"
Col HATToz was shown to have been as indifsr-
eit to the rights Of labor as be had been jealous
fir the interests Of capital. Upon bill to give in
creased protection TO the mechanic BY virtue Of his
lien for work and labor done-a bill which did no
injustice to others and to which no could assign
sensible objectiOn-he had voted in the negative,
seeking its defeat regardless of The rights and ne
eessities Of labor
Their present candidate, Col NETHERLAED, is in
every respect as thorough federalist and IS 6t g
representative Of his party as either Of the gentle
men who have preceded him in .he position which
he now holds In all things else he has been tickle
in his notions, but 10 this be has stood firm. He
voted against ezempting, and in favor of exposing
to execution, the last hoe, the last plough of the
humble farmer, aud the last set Of mechanical tools
in the hands Of the mechanic, the head Of family.
But, while opposed to exeuplRg from execution in
the hands of heads Of families, these things as a
guaranty to their support he voted in arOr OF ex-
enptDg pleasure carriages and all captalover $500
in the hands of the shaver from taxation. He voted
in favor Of rendering the stockholders Of Banks
individually liable to their depOsitOrs, who gen.
orally engaged in speculation and trade, reside
convenient to these institutions are their principal
benefciaries, and The first to lay hands on theil
specie whenever failure suspension occurs, buI
voted ggainst proposition to extend this indiVidu
al liability to the protection Of the innocent note
holders If these banks, who reside principally re-
mote from the banks know least Of their condition
and are least protected. While thus voting tt
exempt the wealthy and keep the burdens of the
government upon the shoulders of the poor, he hal
favored the liberal and unauthorized appropriation
the money in the treasury raised By taxes voting
to give it away to private interpretations, lawyer
College,, doctors Colleges, and ether local enter
prises which, though merit9riOus ia themselves hst
no claim upon the moneys raised from the pockets
Of the people.

so forcibly presented in the facts to which We hav
