Defning black Republicanism.


Col. Sam. Medary has lately commcnc-
ed the publication of n paper at Colum-
bus. Ohio, called the Crisis. In the
couIse Of his saiutotory, he thus aludes
to the political organization now in con
troll of the governments:
The Republican party, and say it in
all canlOr and and ruth, rs an OF gani.:a-
tinn, is Inadequate To rcstorc order. re-
tam It's own strength or act in harmony
ON any great measure OF national health,
and the restoration Of the governments
That party hats within its organization an
element. much larger than the more con
selyatlye men IN 1t suppose. that Is re-
solved on revolution nand vengeance. Fa-
natical, mischlcvOus, reckless, with u Sc
crct organization ot its own. feeling its
strength and importance ior evil, il will
be wholly uncomfortable. and will follow
the bent ol its own inclinations. It p!a-
ces lis own perverted conscience. scared
as with u hot IRON above law and plat
form, above constitutions. 1t hats no OBJ
ject in iis existence but that of disorder,
and no higher aims than those of exercis-
ing Gods vengeance as they under
stand it.
