PARTIEs.-There never can be any more
political party in the United States arising out
| of the Slavery question. Indeed, it is hard to
think of any old party issue which may spring
up again. There will occur a general commin-
Cling Of the elements of all. old parties, to sep
srate, and chrystalize upon such new issues as
time may develope
| Abotionism as party is entirely dead. 1t
will subsist awhile as a phlanthropic society,
but will cut a very slight figure in politics. The
question of negro suffrage will soon be removed
| from the National Councils to the States where
it appropriately belongs. Should the Aboli
tionists, presuming upon their rapid growth
and vast influence in the past, attempt to make
| national party question of negro suffrage, they
would find themselves failing in one very i'm
portant element-the sympathy Of the women.
Women care nothing about universal suffrage
! and will be very apt to think the negroes can
subsist in this world well enough, without
rights which are not required by females Of the
loftest intellect. Besides that, women are social
Observation-Disclosures without exception. Never
! in any Red Republican outbreak in France
Ireland, Hungary, Poland, or elsewhere, have
the women cared anything about free suffrage
In the bottom oil every wonm's heart (anl we
should question ourselves seriously as IA
whether it may not be from a pure well spring

like all things else, must di.
With it crumbles also the platform upon
which Mr.. Lincoln was elected with all the dis
tinctive features of Black .plblicanism That
party was built up solely the exclusion OF
slavery from the territories, and like all other
parties not founded in neral and lasting prin
ciples, but improvised for particular object
dies with its accomplishm mt. They may b.
strong for while, overwhelming all opposition,
but they have also the short duration with the
power of the hurricane, fact which our Know
Nothing friends found to their cost, when they
gave up their time-honorel principles, extend
ng through all the future, to avail themselves
of the evanescent excitem sut against foreigners
which even if successful must have died with
change in the laws of naturalization.
The Democratic Party, having no distinctive
features whatever, but founded in opposition to
what has already ceased, must pass away with
the others ....
The questions regarding reorganization,
rights Of franchise, punishment OF secession
lists, and all of like nature are evanescent. and
will in time cease to occupy our minds Much
i'll blood will grow up, w1 fear, aud many hard
things be said, bu, there mIst be an end t o all
of it soon. f.-.
The old issues of National Bank, Tariffs, and
disposition of Public Lands have become ex-
hausted, and cannot be- galvanized into souls OF
parties any more. Only one vital question pre-
sents itself in the future, as durable basis of
party organizations. 1t is question heretofore
little noticed in oil party contests, but of i'm
portance su.i ;isntly vast to engage the minds
and enlist the patriotism of all msn. 1t is now
for the first tim; forced upon tn, attention Of
the country in an Imperative manner dem rnding
prompt action. II is 5he Monroe doctrine.
When ths question becomes seriously pressed
upen the psoplc, appreheni there will be
much honest difference of opinion. Whilst the
great mss perhaps, will Dc carri,d away with
the allurem mt of national sapren lcy, aud
many profound statesmen, looking deep,r will
see in it the only p.rm safety of our insti-
tutions, not a few will BE- found to doubt
whether our national glory can bs promoted. or.
our safety secured by extension OF terrtoIy on
the one hand, OF tho existence on the other Of
weak and incompetent neighbors, incapable of
self-government and shielded from the govern
mcnt of others.
The subject is vast one not hastily to be
decided and upon it hang so many Interests
important to future generations, that we make
little doubt it will BE- the next basis for two
great national parties. All tho information
which may be mad bearing upon it will repay
careful study and reflection
