stranger still, how happens it that the Ameri-
can government was not consulted, or at least
informed, in respect to negotiations SO seriously
affecting the compromises of the two countries?
The fact is, Great Britain has not given up, nor
does she intend giving up, any Of her Central

means to keep them all.

The ORGANIZATION OF CoNGREss-On the
whole, the battle which has been fought against
sectionalism, abolitionism and disunionism,
by the conservative, Union members of the
House Of Representatives, has been, so far,
mastery. Including South Americans and anti
Lecomptonites, the national men of the South
and North seem determined enough upon
the one point-that an endorser of Helpers
book, or o republican who does not explicitly
and emphatically disavow and repudiate the
sentiments it contains, shall never preside over
them. And it is to be noted that not one
republican has yet acted in manly and honest
manner with respect to this question. They
have all held of, on the absurd supposition that,
although they were in minority in the House
on the great national question of the day, they
could eventually weary out their more patri-
otto adversaries into suicidal adoption of the
plurality rule.
1t is to be regretted that the South Americans
persistin clinging so obstinately and blindly to
a mere fossil, and that the anti-Lecomptonites
should continue to imagine that the Lecompton
constitution is present issue. Both of these
parties are resolved that no republican shall be
Speaker. Why, then, as they are in a minority
as compared with the democrats, do they not
name democrat of their own selection, upon
whom they pledge themselves to unite? In such
a case, an anti.abolitionist Speaker would be
chosen without further delay. 1t has been evil
dent from the beginning that this was oil that
was needed to organize the House .

THE SECRET OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY's Sue
CEss-In an address "to the republican party"
signed by G. B. Wheeler, and published in
yesterdays Tribune, the writer gives advice to
the abolitionists, which shows that he under
stands his subject and knows how to operate
successfully for the revolutionary cause. His
mode of winning the Presidential electio0 in
1860, is to send anti-slavery documents all over
the middle States-the Northern States, includ-
ing New York, being already secure, and the
Southern States being hopeless. He says il
they cannot elect their man by the people, they
have no chance in the House of Representa-
tives, where the South would certainly have
seventeen votes against fifteen, the vote of the
delegation from each State only counting one,
and the vote Of Minnesota being just as good
as that of New York. His idea, then, is to cul
tivate Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, In
diana and Minnesota, and the southern part of
Ohio. Even all these States, and Kansas If
admitted, would not without Pennsylvania win
the election; but with Pennsylvania, then New
Jersey and Minnesota would be sufficient. The
writer surrenders to the South both California
and Oregon.
This calculation appears to be correct with
perhaps the exception of the State of New
York, which may be claimed as doubtful, and,
accordingly, the efforts of the abolition pro-
pagandism will be chiefly directed to the Middle
States. From the two treason shops here-one
in Spruce street, and the other in Wall-these
States, switch may be called the battle
ground of the election" will be food
ed with such documents as Helpers
Impending Crisis. These are the am
munition with which they intend to carry the
day, and with these they have been already
successful to vast extent at the North. With
similar documents they have leavened those
States where the anti slavery sentiment is in
the ascendant
This shows that while some of the leaders of
the republican party in Congress pretend to re-
pudiate the most obnoxious portions of Hell
per's book, their agents at the Northare active.
ly engaged in distributing the political poison
by which they expect to profit in 1860. Now,
if the Union men could only initiate this zeal
and activity, and 60 to work in the same way,
circulating documents Of salutary tendency
in the same States, as antidotes to the abolition
bane, instead Of wasting their strength in quar-
relling about the spoils, . very di1brent result
might be expected than that which, there IL too
much reason to fear, unless the conservatives
Of the country will at once forego all minor
considerations and rally as one man for the In
tegrity Of the Union and the Constitution Is
transmitted to Us by the great founders. Of IL

from the enemy and try II he cannot be beaten
