Another sick Party.

There is manif,stly growing schism IN The Black Re
publican party one bali 10 favor q violent meas
u-es. Il e other half are oppose to them. We have
o the evidence OF these dssensons in the diametri-
cy different remedies for the crisis proposed by var
o,, dreams Of the party Concession, compromise and
even peaeefs separation have their advocates while the
Cba.,-o ul,.f.rm and war against the South the
Sbholeth OF the extremists Indeed the process Of dis
emberm,u has already begun and the organs either
side are lavish OF mutual recrimnatOn and abuse. The
two factions bid far to prove intensely hostile to each
other as we're the Douglas and Brecurdge wings of the
Democracy during the last Presidential contest One OF
the sub divisions includes politicians OF the radical order
the SINNERS, Wilson, Webbs, Greeleys, LOvejoys,
Weltwotls, Wades and the Ike, who are uAexiby op-
posed TO any concession system Of compromise and
who adhere telaciousy she idea that secession res
son. and that the Southern States which have gone out OF
the Union mus, be compelled, BY eoerciye means to re-
c0gcze the supremacy Of the United States Government
Toe other wing Of the Back Republicans is constituted
somewhat differently. It embraces large numbers Of
Northern men vao voted for Lincoln upon sectional
grounds rather than with reference 10 the slavery ques
on They profess abstract and sentimental dislike Of
negro seryule but are for the most part free from that
efoeous spirit Of fana,icism which incites the radical
segment Of the party Besides they have keen eye
