The business advertiséments of the Heratp have increased so enormously that we shall be obliged to resort to the unusual step of publishing 8 triple sheet to-morrow (Sunday). ‘The moat advantageous medium for city adver- tisdmenta is, we need scarcely tell our readers, our Sunday issne. It gives them a larger circu- lation than that of all the Sunday papers put to- gether. It has this additional advantage, that it Partékes more of a family character than that of the-circulation of the week. The proper classification of advertisements adds greatly to their value. In order to insure this benefit the business community will have to send their orders to our office before half past eight eis evening.

The Republicans Breaking Up. The republicans are breaking to - pieces rapidly. Dana, formerly of the Tribune, with one of the Conklings, has purchased Tammany Hall, and with a capital of two dollars, or two hundred dollers; or two thousand dollars, or two hundred thousand, or two millions, we do not know which, is about to start a new paper | toran against the Tribune. So the republicans, who have hardly yet sacceeded in reorganizing the South, are busily employed in disorganizing themselves. They aré about to diverge into three distinct factions“one ‘under Greeley, a second under Weed and ‘a third under Dana, each with an organ slung about his neck, rather burdensome to carry but capable of making a great noise and creating considerable discord. Well, we wish Dana luck in his enterprise and a full third for his share; and as to the republicans gonorally, we wish they may have a good timo and plenty of fat offices to caste Gems 0 | enjoy it ‘Doth houses will adjourn to-day at twelve o'clock till the: rm Wodnesday in July, when, unless there be & quorum of each house present, they will adjoura till December.

Barney Now Age ef has taken a two years’ lease of the “Lord, we know what we-are, but know not what we may be,” sage the unhappy Ophelia ; and how foreibly is this solemn fact impressed pon us when we look at the vicissitudes and transformations ia our party politics and poll- ticians of the last half dozen-years. It seems 4 if it were but yesterday that we had a deci- sion from the Supreme Court of the United States aftrming that “the. negro, under. the onstitution, has no rights which a white man is bound to respect.” Bus’ where stands Sambo now? On the French tripod of “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” he has become the Hindoo Brahma of American politics, To the disguet of Wendell Phillips even the old line office holders of this city, have clubbed together and made up # purse to purchase the Commer- cial Advertiser, 2 New York evening paper, intending to convert it into s special organ for the purpose of sustaining them and helping them to hold on to the good places they have secured under President Johnson.

We will let him answer for himself as he spoke at Columbia the at balfpost other day, in his fraternising speech to the sym- fm this olty pathetic blacks for their political fusion with ‘Feo canse of : their late white masters. No personal motives, the he contended, could infimence him in this ap- Sayre peal; “for,” said he, “I am no longer a citizen pson.st tha, of the United States or of South Carolina, The bill which gives the right of suffrage to'you (his emancipated slaves) disfranchises me.

Ihave nothing to bind me to this ruined land but the memories of the past, the affections I cherish for its people and the graves of my kindred.” How cold and pointless, compared with this warm and living picture, is the figure of Marius brooding over the ruins of Carthage. But our point in this case is the negro vote of the South. It isa Southern political balance of power; it covers the popular majority in South Carolina, the importance of which to the ruling white class is thoroughly grasped by Hampten. Likea wise man he accepts the issues of the war and bows tb the terms of Congress. lately his \slaves, as try the pol ex- Weed wes at that time publishing a Nittle paper out at Rochester, and was fast going to the dogs. Seeing a chance of making something out of the Morgan excitement he jumped aboard, gave his paper a new sturt under the Bame of the Anti-Masonic Enquirer and took a prominent part in building up a political anti- Masonic party in Western New York.

Some of the more timid who were in the plot expressed fears of the discovery of the fraud, but were told by Weed that old Tim would make “a good enough’! after election,” a saying that haa since passed into.a proverb. It was this opér “upon the corpse of Tim Monroe that gave ‘to Thurlow Woed the title of the Stato barber, al‘hough of recent years many persons have supposed that he obtained that nickname from his shaving operations in the lobby. The anti-Masonic excitement made Weed the leader of a powerful party in Western New York, and laid the foundation for the subsequent political success of Wiliam H. Seward. ‘The vote of the anti-Masons increased from year to year, being thirty-three thousand for Solomon Southwick in 1828, and one hun- @red and twenty-eight thousand for Francis Granger in 1830. The party spread into other States, and ran a candidate for the Presidency, William Wirt, of Maryland, in 1831. In 1828 Thurlow Weed went to Washington and made arrangements with Henry Clay to carry New York for Jobn Quincy Adams throngh the vote of the anti-Masons. But the secret bargain was discovered by Mordecai Manasseh Noab, of the Enquirer of this city, and his exposure of it was the very means of New York for Andrew Jackson. \ Now, this is a very political history of Thurlow, Weed, and. yet, tn. his voluminous reminiscences in his new office holder’s organ he forgets all about ft, as well as about a grent many other interesting even‘s of thirty or forty years ago, to which we have not time to allude, aud which seem to demand ® second and revised edition of his valediotory- salutatory. However, we wish him success in his enterprise, and power to sustain his friends in the confortable offices which luck has sent them. quest which sbe has presented to the European Powers, is backed up by the influonce of Rus sia, It is at least significant that Greece should adopt this course so soon after the pub- lication of those diplomatic notes addressed by the Russian government to their representative at the Court of St. James. Russia bas no desire to attempt the solution of the Eastern question by another Crimean war; but recent events make it no longer doubtful that she has not yet finally abandonod those ambitious designs which, if realized, would seat ber in triumph on the shores of the Bosphorus and make her flag the symbol of power on the wators of the Mediterranean. What success will attend this move on the part of Greece, or what fresh com- plications may spring from it, a few more days will determine. covered by Wade Hampton.

What, then, is most Ukely to follow from this rivalry for the of Sambo? » a Black though it may be, we have. thing in the face. You cannot give “the South- ern colored gentleman” the ballot and s'ill expect.to keep him out of office. Where he has the majority in the matter of color be must be bought off or the white man must back when the time comes. From the ical ne- cessities of this party or that party, therefore, it will be no matter for surprise if we have in the next Congress from the South five, ten or fifteen or twenty members of the House, and & soattering shot or two in the shape of a “dark complected” Senator. Colored gentle- men for foreign missions, the Cabinet and the White House will then be in ordgr. When James Buchanan was our Minister at London, on one oceasion at a court reception he was asked what he thought of the ambassador from Hayti, a strapping African, gorgeous in gold lace, at his elbow. “I think,” said “Old Buck,” quizzing the glittering negro ; “I think that that fellow would fetch fifteen hundred dollars in New Orleans” Upon that platiorm “the favorite son of Pennsylvania” (ob, Moses!) in 1856 was elected President..by the Southern white balance of power. . Bat now, slavery out of the. way, the contest is. for the Southern black balance of power, and unless the radi- cals in the North prove their professions by their acts they will lose it, notwithstanding the Southern machinery in the hands of Secretary Stanton. Frederick Douglass, the Rev. Mr. Smith or Box.Brown, as representative blacks of the North, must be advanced to equal suf- frage and a division of the spoils, or Sambo and Pompey in, the’ South will follow the Southern banner of Wade Hampton, Governor Brown, Longstreet and Lee. The logical pro- gramme from negro suffrage in the South must be cairied out by the republicans’ in the North, or the party will be broken fo pieces. Thus there is a fair prospect that the, radical Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, on his Southern platform, will yet be more than a match)for the radicals of Massachusetts. General Slocum. Mojor General Henry W. Slocum was named by the President for the vacant position of naval officer of the port of New York and the United States Senate has refused to confirm this ad- mirable nomination. General Slocum was educated at West Point. He went to the war as Colonel of the Twenty-seventh regiment of New York Volunteers, and served in the battle of Bull ran. Prompt thus to be present in the ‘first possible’ battle, thore was scarcely afterwards a great field on which the national cause was to be upheld trom which he wes. | absent. He went to the Peninsula with the Army of the Potomnc and did berolo service through all that terribly destructive campaign. He went through the memorable seven days around Richmond, At Crampton’s Pass on the South Mountain he stormed and carried by assault a rebel position on # hill side, so rough and of such difficult access that the men who voted agains: him would probably refuse to climb it in even these peaceful, pastoral days. He was at the battle of Antietam! He was at the Chancellorsville fight, commanding the Twelfth corps, and when the Eleventhcorps broke Slocam’s lines were what the enemy found fn their way, and what kept them from swoeping like a deluge down the rear of our lines, There Slocum saved thearmy. Slocum also commanded the Twelfth corps through the glorious three days of the Gettysburg battle; and opposed immediately all that magnificent’ fighting by whieh the enemy endeavored to. turn the right—fighting their way all along his front from Spaniglet’s Spring to Cemetery Hill. Slocum next went to the Western Army, and did such efficient service that when the | ' force was made up for Sherman’s march from Atlanta to the sea, he was given the com- mend of one of the two columns into which Sherman’s force was organized. Thus’ from the first fight to the field of Joe Johnson’s sur- render Sloctim was in the front line of'glérious || | service, He was fit for that service, but his |. opinions do not suit certain United © States Senators, and he cannot have office. Does not the party that rejects such candidates. write ite }. own sentence? —_— The Senate Militury Rejections. The rejection by the Senate of such nomina- tions as General Couch for Collector of Boston, General Frank Blair for Minister to Austria, and General Slocum as Naval Officer for this port, has créated a very genttal fecling of in- dignation. These gentlemen are among the bravest and most deserving of the officers who gave their services towards putting down the Trebellion. General) Couch distinguished him- self during Lee’s invasion of Pennsylvania; General Blair earned high military honors in the West and Sonth, and General Slocum served as division commander under Sherman in his famous march to the sea and back through the Carolinas. Now, the rejection of such men for offices demanding 4 far interior capacity to theirs, and that in favor of mere partisans, can only be ‘characterized as atrocions insolence. The whole country feels insulted in the indig- nity offered them. This is the worst thing that the radicals have as yet attempted in Congress, and they may rest assured that they will be\ made to suffer for it ; > vidya Wedd “Whe New Theatrical Movement, \ .
