The Constitutren, treating upon what it calls “black-republican shutting,” says that their jour- nals of the second rank, which do not possess the boldness of the New York Tribune, are evidently afraid of the effects of the storm which they have helped to excite, and are seeking to “explain away” some of the most obnoxious and villainous of Helfer’s recommendations, which Mr. Sherman nd sixty-seven other black-republican members of Congress and the black-republican leaders “cordially” approved. ‘That with that fertility end fngenuity of quibble and trick for which they are notorious, they now want to make rational beings believe that the seven seditious mottces of Helfer were merely put forth “for discussion,”’ not with any expectation that they would be adopted The Intelligencer publishes a letter of over two eclumus and a balf frem Rev.

The Tribune prates about the adoption of the plurality rule as the only means of terminating the incipient revolution which its party has initiated and insists on Perpetuating ; knowing well the while, that all here are aware that its party may at any moment elect either Mr. Pennington, Mr. Corwin or Mr. E. Joy Morris to the Speakership— all good and true members of its organization, but neither so fortunate as to have been a signer of the Helper-book manifesto. It knows, too, the utter impossibility of making a combination to elect either a Democrat, a South American, or an Anti- Lecomptonite. Yet its purpose and that of its party here, require the sacrifice of every public interest to secure the election of a Helperite. So it backs the determination of all of its party in the hall who have signed the manifesto, to secure the election of one of their own number, or break up the Government. At the North this purpose {fs becoming generally understood. Hence the ner- vous anxiety of the Tribune to lash the New York city members up to the work of aiding to elect Sherman. Its citort to make the mechanics of Con- cut believe that those laboring earnestly to turn away from them the wrati of the southern customers on whom they depend in great part for thele bread, are doing Precisely the reverse of what they see they are dofny, isa most menda- cious piece of impudence, such as could be exsayed by no other journal and fn no other eanse than one so desperate as that of the Helperite revolutionists of the He —-— «oe, The Wrecking of the American Ship Flora Temple in the China Sea. 550 CooLirs anp Is Evroreans Propasey Lost.
