The National Party. - The Democracy of New York (says the Petersburg Press) hasten to hold the Black Republicans to just accountability for the outrage at Harper's Ferry, and are equally prompt and emphatic in their denunciations both of the deed and its instigators. At a meeting held a few nights since in Tammany Hall, the following resolutions were passed, and, mark the prediction, no such resolution will be passed North of Mason and Dixon's line by any other than a Democratic meeting: Resolved, That in the treasonable outrage of Harper's Ferry, we recognize the practical result of Republican theories, and the natural and ultimate end of its teachings; that the adoption by the Republican party of the agitation of slavery as a principle, and their determination to urge upon that question an "irrepressible" conflict between the North and South, is an abandonment by them of all claims to be considered hereafter national, and they inaugurate a system which cannot fail seriously to disturb the important interests of commerce and manufacture, sources of national wealth and prosperity, and jeopardize the perpetuity of the Union, and the happiness and independence of its people.
