EXTRAORDINARY POLICE DIscLosUREs-THE
STOOL PIeEoN FRATERNITY FINALLY DONE UP.-
We give elsewhere in our columns, to-day, some
very interesting and extraordinary police disclo-
sures, giving an account Of the arrest Of bank
burglars, and some Of the proceedings Of the same
rogues in prison-a development which rebounds
much to the credit of Mr.. Matssn, the Chief Of
Police, Mr. Bowyer, one of the police officers, and
several others whose names we do not remember,
in carrying out vigorously the administration of
justice, as regards.eertain portions of the criminal
community. The description given by our reporter
of the stool pigeon gang of this city, of which the
National Police Ga-aie was the chief organ, and
Wilkes, who recently ran of to England, the chief
editor will be read with interest in every part of
the world. Our reporter also furnishes list of the
burglars, bank robbers, hotel thieves, counter
feiters, and other rascals more or less associated
with this terrible stool pigeon gang, who have been
rioting in this community for some years past.
They are now mostly disposed of. Warner and
Wilkes-the one the lawyer, and the other the
editor, of the gang-are in England. Some of
them Dead and the rest in the State prison,
or will be.
The rise, progress, and termination of the famous
stool-pgeon ooerie whose organ was the Police ca
zae, Is one OF the most curious events IN the crlml
nal history of this metropolis and the surrounding
country. In former years, individual police officers
ard special Adventures, endeavored to practice in
the same line Of business Every one remembers
the career and its close OF the famous stool pigeon
justice, Bill Wiley, who sort of George Wilkes
of his day, with a small gang at his tail Of very
good s.ool pigeons We could name others who
are still floating about in the community, who were
engaged in the same business seyerl ii years ago,
but as they have reformed, and set up for men
of respectability, it is as well, perhaps to let them
cut and run. The Wilkes and Warner stoolpigeon
gang, was the greatest organization of the kind
ever attempted in this country. They not only en-
gagged in criminal matters, but aspired to manage
elections, to regulate Tammany Hall, and to
control nominations for some of the chief crimi-
nal Offices in this city. The whole confederacy is
now broken up, scattered to the four winds Of
heaven, and for this happy result, the community
is much indebted to the frmness of the Chief Of
Police in this city, several of his associates, and
also to certain officers and judges of the courts,
who are all known to every one conversant with
the criminal history of the times

HONOR IS DrE.-We have recently seen that
number of politicians, some of whom (not alp
spend their rowdy winters at Washington, have
been presented with golden tokens of esteem
from California, for their presumed services in
behalf of that growing and already flourish
ing State on the Pacific. Watches, watch chains,
breastpins, rings, and big Jumps, have been
forwarded to these politicians from the citi-
zens Of San Francisco, and other places in Cali
foinia. For instance, Mr.. Senator Douglas re-
ceived massive gold watch and Mr.. Sena tor Cas-
a heavy gold ring. Mr. Clay and General Houston,
also, have lad watch chains Of California gold.
These articles were very elegant. and inscriptions
were ON some of them, which, in the easy phrase
ology Of the day, have been called appropriate"
30 ar appropriation is concerned, they were; but
n further. In fact, the recipients of such unde-
served bounty ought to have given them 10 the
poor.
The generous remembrance of good deeds is
very beautiful trait in the character of the Caliior
mans, who seem willing u remember with plea sure
those who have contributed to build up that great
home of industry and mine Of wealth on the Pacific.
Unfortunately for their judgment, however, they
seem TO be very little acquainted with those
who '.really did the State some service We con-
t,nd that the politicians at Washington did nothing
till they driven into it, Its always so. They
dare not move till they told how to step, like
journalist. who pinned uIon the skirts Of party,
who il similar condition of estraint, and never
epjoy anything but affected independence OF
opinion. With respect to California, the politi-
clans and the party press held back to the las!

same movement towards any particular sandi
date for the presidency. Tho freesoilers Of
New England, New York, and the Northwest
are evidently preparing to make third nomination
for the Presidency, and rather suspect that the
barnburners Of this city, who sneaked into TAmma-
ny Hall recently, put forward the name OF Isaac r.
Walker, Of Wisconsin, as q candidate for the Pre-
dency, merely for the purpose Of taking him up IN
Buffalo and planting him on the free soil platform,
in the course of the spring or summer.
The next great movement which will command
attention is expected to be made at Lancaster, on
the twenty fourth inst, by the wings in State Con-
vention. Whom will they nominated What will
be their platform! VIII that convention sup
port oppose the compromise measures VIII
they repudiate or, which is much the same,
be silent on the Fugitive Slave law! These
are important questions, and they will direct the
attention of the whole country to their movements
and declarations. The democrats are in advance
of them, and have taken their ground. Will the
wings of Pennsylvania occupy the same position
or will they silently fall back on the free soil plat
form, and thereby break up the whole whig party
throug bout the Union, and impair, if not destroy,
the prospects of such popular candidate as General
Scott, shouldh he be put forward! We shall however,
know all in due course Of time But every event
and every indication strengthens the idea that the nert
eetion for President of the United States ,ciA 60 to
the House of Representatives Be it so-we are
content.

Mr.. WEBSTER AND THE ASrf-SLAvERY Fac
TIoSs.-The organs of the anti-slavery factions of
the North are, and have been for some time past,
assailing not only the pubi,, but the private cha
racter of Mr.. Webster, Secretary Of State, in
very coarse, vulgar and discreditable manner. A
short time since, the Tribune, on the Seward side,
abused him for bis tergversa tons, they imagined,
in reference to the slavery question: and his reach
cry to the North, as that famous journal thought
proper to term Mr.. Webster's course in sustaining
the constitution and the Erentng Post, of the Van
Buren, faction, brings up the old stories Of subscrp
tions having been made for his benefit on sundry
occasions when his extravaganza made him needy
All this is done by these snti-slavery organs, be-
cause Mr.. Webster took the bold, manly and patr-
otto course which he did on the seventh of March,
1850, in opposition to the tide of fanatcism which
threatened to deluge the Northern States gene
rally, and to swamp both the Union and the const-
tuition.
Now, we have never been great eulogist of Mr..
Webster but have on all occasions done him as
much justice as it has been our aim to mete to
other public men. We approved of his course when
we thought approval due, and opposed it when We
thought he was wrong. The position he has taken
on the question of slavery meets not only our ap-
probation, but that of majority of the sensible
people Of the whole North. OF this there can be
no doubt, and hence the assaults that ar, daily
made upon his private and public character, by
some of his old friends and enemies, who comprise
the anti slavery factions of the two old parties.
The public and private character Of Mr.. Web
ster, like that of all other men, may be marked
more or less by the weakness and intrmity of HUI
man nature, but no deny that he has exh-
bited an intellectual vigor and moral courage in
public affairs, that deserve, as they meet WITH the
appreciation Of the whole country That Mr.. Web
ster meets with the yrulence of the anti-slavery
factions of the North, is not to be wondered at
some of the journals, indeed the most Of them who
thus attack Mr. Webster, are great sticklers for
rcspectability in newspaper discussion, and for dig
nifty and propriety in newspaper controversies. In
the attacks We have referred to, by the Tribune
and Epening Post, and other journals, there Is
thing in the whole history Of the newspaper press,
that have heard Of seen, which exceeds the
meanness, the yrulenee, the ,indctivene.s, folly,
contained in their columns in reference 70 that dis
tinguished statesman The eTard and a. Barren
antrslayery factions 81 New York are the most
yinaictiye, mean, and contemptblc in the principles
which govern their conduct, of any that ever had
connection with the press CT this country They
have acquired this character from the fact that
they arc merely personal factions, tied to The tails
of their several chiefs and light without regard 70
