The fact is too manifest TO be de

garded, that the Republican party i

all Of these States initial movements
more or less formidable, are on foot
for forming compact party to coop
crate with that organization. 1t is I
part of the matured scheme OF thu
leaders of that party to maintain it,
ascendancy, and they shave seized the
opportunity afforded by the introduc-
ton of the new clause into the cleo
tive franchise.
In Virginia, we find no prominent
person connected with the movement,
except Bolts, who belongs to the past
age Of politics and has out lived his
time; but primary meetings are being
held with view to State convention,
which will bring the organization into
full and active existence. In North
Carolina the movement is under more
formidable and more imposing leader
ship, it is headed by Holden. of the
Standard, late Provisional Governor
by appointment of President johnson;
Pool, formally Wing candidate for
Governor, and others of scarcely less
note. They have held convention in
Raleigh, in which nearly all of the
counties in the State were represented
by an equal number ofwhite and black
delegates. The organization took the
name Of Republican, and placed itself
in line with the Northern Radicals.
In South Carolina no decisive action
of this kind has been had, beyond the
assembling of meeting in Charles
ton, at the instance ofRadical emissa-
ries. But Gen. Sickles, the comman-
der of the district, has recently deliv-
cred an address to the freedmen,
Astounding with wholesome advice and
patriotic views, which we trust will
nave potent influence in shaping their
course. This speech, together with

men will undoubtedly stay, if it does
lot wholly prevent, the progress of
he movement.
A meeting, represented to be large

In Alabama the movement is more
