ter. Did the Wing party of the South complain
of this attion Did IL withhold its confidence
from a Cabinet, the master-spirit of which was
Mr. Ewingi Did it even rebuke Mr.. Seward for
his conduct on that memorable Sd of March 7
Did it ostracise Mr. Winthrop for the dicision
which enabled Messrs eHard and Ewing to carry
out their plota No, no Fearless of broken
pledges and scornful Of the people, the Northern
and Southern Wings rallied around General Tay-
lor's administration. The leaders Of the party,
seeming the spoils, 1ocked around Washington
like vultures around carcass; and when the last
session convened, the Southern Representatives
Of Wing principles in the House of Representa-
tives, with Ave exceptions, rallied around Mr.:
Winthrop, and supported him with all their zeal
for the office Of Speakeran office which is second
only to the presidency, in the influence il exerts
over the legislation Of Congress.
We defy the Southern Press to deny what we
have sad either in this article in that in which
we chad the audacity to sit in judgment on the
soundness Of Southern Wings" What we have
said is true, and the truth warrants us in warning
the South against the divisions which may give
the South into the hands OF the Wing party.
The Press says Of the term Whig," that it is a
" consecrated, historic name.'' Despite of that
miserable bubble, that disgraceful sophism, we
warn the Southern Democracy against the stri(es
which may elevate the politicians who now claim
that name.

California.

The dog-in:the-mangcr policy, adopted BY the
inhabitants and visitors Of California and their
brethren Of the North, in excluding the South
from all that coast, threatens to result as is usual
in their own injury. According to the papers
received by the Crescent City, there arrived at
San Francisco from the Ist OF August to the
18th of September, by sea, 5,94o persons, of
whom 81 were females. The departures by sea
for the same time were 4,672, all males, leaving
a net gain of only about 1900 population in six
weeks. The cost of going to California, and
the poverty of the people in the Northern States,
limit materially the emigration even to the region
Of gold. If the South had not been excluded
the large capital she possesses in labor, would
have doubled the California emigration and the
production of gold. California would have made
more rapid march to gres tness, and the Attain
tic States would have realized much larger sup
plies of gold.

"a. That we have not considered Il Federal

me sympathIes and support of the Southern
Church, but of the Southern people, and we need
not add, has our cordial wishes for its success
we mention 1t as an interesting incident attending
his mission among US, that he has received quite a
number OF contributions from the colored mem

who naturally enough consider the Church South

Mr.. Rosser, we learn, will remain in our CITY

HOW it will be WSrkad

The secret understanding between the two
wings Of the Free .soilcrs in New York, would
appear to have some foundation, judging from
the late movements there. The schisns in the
old parties seem to have been hcalcd-but it is
only in seeming after all. No scceders there
dare to stem the roaring and rushing torrent OF
radical Abolitionisu, which now sweeps away
all obstNclcs-but. even in spite of their utmost
concessions, the two old party organizations are
doomed-their absorption by the Frcc-soil fac
ton is inevitable, in name rs we'll rs in fact
The balance of power between the two old par
ties is held by the Anti-Rentcrs, over whom
JOHN VAN buren, and SEWARD WELD an equal
influence. At their recent Convention they nomi.
mated State ticket, OH which they placed three
Democrats and two Wings, from the two State
tickets Of those partics-so that their ticket com.
priscd Barnburncrs and SEWARD WhigS-
Thus, by a cunning manmuvre, the whole Free
soil ticket will be secured.

TRICKS UPON TRAvELLERs.--The Journal o.
Commerce, gives an account of the way sturdy
but rather green gentleman, from the "rural dis
tricts" of New Jersey, was done the other day
by one of our "geutlemen of the town." which
we understand is not altogether new, though
this is the first instance of the kind that has
to our knowledge.
AS the rural man was advancing to the ticket
Office, at the foot of Cortlandt street, TO procure
Il ticket on the New Jersey Railroad, one Of the
chepaliers dtndustrie, who had watched him, and
taken the exact measure of his simplicity, stepped
forward, and holding out his hand, said, "Here's
your ticket sir-take you clear through--only
six dollars" The stranger was very much
obliged for the attention, and pocketed the paste
| oard-the scamp pocketed the dollars.
On attempting to pass the ferry-master, the
victim, to his great chagrin, discovered that his
ticket was worthless, and on applying at the
ticket office, was unable to procure other salts
faction than that of knowing that the grievance
he complained of was common.
This is the way the ''rather green" gentlemen
"from the rural districts" Of the South have been
done by ''the gentlemen of the town" in the late
adjustment. The North has got the territory,
and the South has a pasteboard ticket for some
fugitive slaves, which the North refuses to recog-
nize.

lHE PROSPECT BEFORE Us.-There is some
alarm expressed by some of the Northern presses,
at the prospect before the country, arising out of
the contest relative to Southern rights. 1t is
spoken OF as almost newly discovered crisis in
political affairs.
! That 1t Is unexpected, is owing to the uncandid
course pursued by both the Wing and Democratic
presses Of the South. There has been d;sposi
ton to smother the true stale of Southern feeling,
as The policy ofleading papers, especially at Wash
ington city might dictate-and presses became
the organs of party prejudice and party desire,
| rather than the true opponents Of public senli-
ment. At one time the Washington Union led off
with the cry,, ''peace, peace" when there was
no peace and almost all the time the National M
teiiigcnccr has done the same And the latter vet
adheres to its notion that there is no danger of
dlsunion, and endeavors to sustain its position bv
oEe-sided selection of articles from the Southern
presses.
We may say that we have nothing to reproach
ourselves with IN this case. Sincerely devoted
to the Union, under constitutional auspices we
have not ceased, from the commencement of the
late session OF Congress to the present time to
warn the readers of The Commercial, of the perils
OF the crisis. We were that the "compro-
mise acts would not and ought not to satisfy the
South, II ever so freely sanctioned by Northern
politicians. But even that was grudgingly con-
ceded--and the irritated feeling and insuted iudg-
ment of the South, was more and more irrfi;ated
and more deeply insued by the speeches of
Northern members, IN every stage of what was
called concatory legislation
What we have often asserted we aeain reneot-
that there is no influence at the South of sufficient
power to dissolve the Union, if the political rights
Of all sections are secured under the Constitution
The Northern and the Northern sections alone
are responsible for the perils that surround u.s.
The cause is found in the fact, too apparent for
concealment, that the Northern States are de-
ermned to abolish the rights Of the South, in re-
gard to the institution Of savery--not only in
respect to the extension, but to its existence with
in its present range. They have cajoed and fooled
the South by "compromise' Of ATTITUDES and
lines; and have now passed just law, indeed, in
the fugitive slave bill. But what is this that is
held up TO US as the Magma Charia" of Southern
rishtsS Why, an act passed by Congressional
majority, while the same majority will claim the
right to repeal at pleasure. So the rights of the
South the destiny of the Southern empire, de-
pend upon the tactics of party, the influence of
government, the fees Of office, the honor of dema-
gogues, and the clemency of fanatics,
