An Unprecedented Record.

It is announced that in the FIRST ten
months after its organization, the National
Life Insurance Company Of the, United
States of America had issned no less than
5,sss policies, by which the public bad in.
sured to the amcant Of over. fifteen millions.
Such success is unparalleled in the history
of life insurance, and there must be strong
Influences which have contributed to this
astonishing result. The fact that the Com.
pany is national in its character has been q
strong Recommendation. II was chartered
by Congress with authority TO transact bus
mess in any and every part Of the country,
and it has acted upon this authority by
seeking the best inaneiers, and most active
and respected business men throughout the
States and in the Dominion Of Canada, to
act as general or sub,agents. The public
having confidence in the honesty and 81.

The Baltimore Amsrican-is i'll at ease
over the prospect in the negro.worship-
ing party in this State, One source
Of its inquietude is tho action Of the
Black Republican Convention, or the
negro convention, which recently assem-
bled in Baltimore. One Of the resolu
tons Of the said convention asserts the
right Of the colored people to participate
10 the primary meetings and in the
nominating conventions, before they are
enfranchised or entitled TO the ballot
The hands Of Judge Bond, and Of Henry
w. Hoffman, the american thinks are
visible 10 this action Of their colored
brethren, and the virtuous indignation
Of this Radical organ boils over, and
falls scalding hot upon the caputs Of
these two high priests in the Radical
temple, whom the irate journal desig-
mates as ''desiguing demagogues, seek.
ing to divide the Radical party of the
State. The american denounces and
disallows the claim of the negroes to
participate 10 the noninations, aud says
it Is "ill-advised, arrogant, and foolish, I"
and such an assumption is "repudiated
BY the colored people in all parts of the
State" This, however, it is plain to
be seen, is an assumption" on the part
! Of the Americaa The colored people
would not send delegates to State
Convention for a certain purpose, and
then turn round and annul the very
action by which that purpose could be
accomplished. Such thing is not
likely, The fact is, Judge Bond knows
what be is about. He intends to make
q stepping.stone Of Sambo, and he hap.
pens TO be more popular with Sambo,
than the Amorican or the leaders in
whose interest it is protesting. Judge
Bond Is MOTTO be overslaugheds so easily.
His failure to get the collectorship Of
the port Of Baltimore, has put him upon
his mettle, and serves as goad to prick
the sides Of his intent in reference to
the cireumyention Of those who were
instrumental in his defeat. 1t may 60
hard, but Judge Bond is bound to be
even with them, or he will know the
reason why The american more than
insinuates that the movement may be
in the interest Of Judge Chase, for the
next Presidency, besides helping J Judge
Bond 70 preferment in this State. That
president journal, which can look as far

il, closes its article thus:
Judge Chase is said TO be ORGANIZING n

not see or hear of single case Of
