A sixni6csnt passage in despatch frou
Baltimore, reads thus:

that any party in this country can imagine
that thenigger question can ne longer be

the party may become harm ,nious again.
The parry has been kept together 70. many
years, already, BY temporary expedien,s

corruption By double-headed declarations Of

IN the councils OF the country had risen
and still the old Democratic party dreams
that it can somehow get the niggsr out Of
the way, and become harmonious again.
Gentlemen, it can never be done. There
is no organization in the world that so thor
oughly illustrates the phrase 'sirreprcssible
conflict" as the Democratic party. 1t is
dying ofthe niger.
The Bell and Everett party died Of the
nigger before it was born. i, came forth
from the womb Of time. the deadcst of all
still-born bantlings. To drop the figure,
the men who initiated this movement tried
to establish party by doing the precise
thing which killed the Wbis party, and
which il killing the Democratic. Mr.. Ev-
erett died politically with the Whig party,
yet he manifes.s his willingness to die again,
and to die precisely as he did before. lie

and fall gracefully ignoring the niger still
There seems to be a rare poetic Justice in
the fate so deliberately chosen by the rump
Of the old Wing party, represented by the
Boston Courier. They seek n galvanic ex-
istence for few months, that they may
have the pleasure Of dying again by the
old disease. There is no rational man
in existence who can nationally look a. the
matter, without preceiving tina, it is beyond
the limits Of possibility that party that
ignores entirely the great question which, in
the Presidential election, tho people are
called upon to decide, should succeed. Yet
the Boston Courier, "goes over the notion"
and makes believe that its party is alive.
There is but one party in the country now
that does not try to dodge the Niger, or
to ignore him, and thar party is the Repub-
lican. On this subject the Republican party
is declared, plainly and unmistakably and
in consequence, it is the one strong, united
party of this country to-day. 1t draws a
full moiety of its vitality from the fact that
it takes the niger question into its hands,
and places it just where the interests Of the
white men Of this country demand it shall
DO placed. The wbig party, as we have
said, died Of the niger, and the Democratic
party is dying Of the same disease but the
Republican party, because it takes the eide
Of God and Of Justice on this question,
thrives on the nigger. No patty can live in
this country that undertakes to ignore the
great issues before the people, or to play
double with two sections Of the country.
This nation ought to be governed by the
slave power, or by its indirect opponents.
1t has been governed by the former for a
good many years. The latter now propose
