PROPOSED DINNER TO G0vMNoR BANKs.-A
large number Of the leading republicans Of the
several States have invited Governor Banks, of
Massachusetts,, to accept the honor Of public
dinner, and 1t Is generally supposed that he
will do 90. 1t Is the intention of the republi-
cans to make this grand and celebrated ban.
quet Il Is well known that Governor Banks
has been and Is the most eminent and conser-
vative member of that party since it, organizs
ton, some four or i've years ago. As Speaker
Of the House Of Representatives, he proved
himself to be one Of the very best that ever
occupied that distinguished position, and his
speeches were always marked by reason and
statesmanlike ability. 1t is supposed that on
this occasion he will make one Of his great ora
toricd efforts, In which he will give expression
to his views on the present confused and unset
tied state Of the country. According to popu-
lar belief this movement has Q great many
ramifcations throughout the country, and we
shaM await the ovation to Governor Baakx with
some interest.

opinion that he was nrt SO good cook as they
and they therefore took the direction OF tht

stand that He must be master or nothing
and therefore he has resigned As he hE

Progress At CharIeston-The Key Position
OF tho Opening Campaign.
II Is evident that there is plenty Of explosive
material in the Charleston Convention, and the
course of events there shows that 1t Ia not yet
free from the danger Of an explosion.
The carrying Of the proposition to lay the
platform before naming the candidates by 30
large majority, indicates that the ultra fire.
eaters Of the South have not the control Of the
Convention; and it may reasonably be antoi-
pated therefrom that no strong expressions
which may be distasteful to the Northern demo
cracy will be adopted. A majority vote deter
mines the platform, and a. the Northern dele.
gates are stronger In numbers than the South
ern, they will be able to prevent the insertion
Of doctrines that will kill them at home. The
platform is no doubt prepared and ready to be
reported to-day, and we may have the first
balloting for the Presidential nomination TO-
night
Herein lies the danger of the Charleston
nominations. The democratic as we'll as the
black republican party is q minority party. II
cannot elect Its candidates without the help of
the great conservative vote which refuses to
join either Of the extremes. This feeling car
ries ct least million and half Of votes, and
it has left the democrats sadly in the lurch
during the Inst three years To such an extent
has 1t operated that 1t may be truly said that
the Convention at Charleston represents
great series of minorities in the several States
and districts, just as the Chicago Convention
will represent another set of minoriies. If the
question were to be decided by these two
alone, there is no doubt that the black republi-
can minority would carry the day, for 1t is
more numerous than the democratic.
But great issue has come up. It Is not Q
question Of bank, Of tariff, Of internal improve
mens, or any Of the old issues between parties;
but it ia higher issue, involving all these, be-
cause it involves the existence Of all of them.
They have been all rolled into the one idea of
an assault upon the institution Of slavery. If
the black republican party succeeds in the
coming contest, It will receive an impulse In
the Development Of It's fanatcal ideas that
cannot be resisted. On the floor of Congress
IT'D leaders assume tone of moderation, and
pretend TO limit their Interference with slavery
to the Territories But this Il merely intended
to blind and lull the conservative interests.
Follow them into the rur,ls districts, listeh to
their speeches there, and th9y will be found, in
every instance, uttering the widest denun.

The fact is that 30 far as the great bulk of

that the merchants have begun to find this out

THE ELECTION.

Well, it is over. Some are defeated
some are elected. We are sorry for
all who arc defeated, and we are sorry
for all who are elected. Indeed, sorrow
fills our soul. We feel like wrapping
the mantle Of forgetfulness about us,
and lying down to sleep, provided the
mantle is heavy enough to keep us
warm during tho cold that seems now
about to usurp the place Of sunshine
and warmth. We hated to vote on the
day of the election, and If w. had to
vote again we wouldn't do 80. We
went late in the evening just because
we hoped to be "not in time" but alas
the polls had been kept open expressly
for our sake, and of course we had to
exercise our great rights rs u freeman.
We actually hoped the Judges would
challenge our vote, and we wonder they
didn't. We wouldn't have said a word.
They did, however, look at us mighty
hard-mighty doubtful, and one time
we thought ourself a "gone coon," but
other fellows hard looking as US had
voted, and SO we event in We
reckon our vote was counted, but lift
