The Union Line" is the style Of a line Of

his slaves, on their line, without danger of
their being stolen, or of their running away
To this the Cincinnati line replies:
Here is the great hook upon which they
are going to hang us. They have raised tho
yell of " abolition" against Cincinnati. Well,

circumstances. For myself desire no 9th

in this work OF regenerating our government

IL Is the cnIse of God, of humanity; 1t

Wendell Philips and DR.. Beecher.

OuE readers of course, will not pass over the
correspondence on our frst page, between Mrs.
Stowe and Mr.. Phillips. Mrs. Stoves epistle
contrasts quite favorably with Mr.. Mann's,
which we published last week. But Mrs.
Stoves earnest defence Of her father, cannot,
and should not protect his course from rebukc
and condemnation. The positions o. Mr. Phil
lips arc abundantly sustained by the facts.-
DR.. Beecher's moral frmness was Inadequate
TO the emergency which met him at the
Lane Seminary. lie faltcred and fell and his
enterprise fell with him. His impulses wcro
doubtless for freedom. With his bcnevolencc,
1t could not have been otherwise. But what
ever he might have done in the church, and as
it were clandestinely, he never identified him
self with the slave, or with his unpopular and
pcrsecuted friends, and from the hour that ho
declined the honorable post of leader of the
hosts Of freedom, Qor such he might have bcen)
his influence comparatively perished, and his
namo and fame were reckoncd only from the
past, DIR. Beechcr refusing to side with freedom,
his history and the retributon which overlook
him, is the right of the slave and the right of
the world. 1t should be held up as a beacon
to all who are tempted to prefer success to
principle, and expcdiency to justice. And if
men arc to be honored for such things, in our
esteem, Mr.. Philips has won far higher honors
by his fidelity and firm ness with Horace Mann,
and DIR. Beecher, than he ever has, or can win
by the choicest power of his surprising elo-
luence.

cognized by the Constitution" sa
Ans. No. We believe with Wings, Demo-

'hat slavery has recognition in the Constellation.
anu We really don't know how to controyer,
the Presidents inference; and therefore we will
not swear to support the Constitution with
this recognition, or send anybody else to Wash

nut at all to crack, it is very soft sheled one.

GENERAL CANEDo's Tour THROUGH CUBA
Notwithstanding the glowing accounts given by
the Havana papers, of the demonstrations of
loyalty devotion and respect. which greeted
Captain-General Canedo at every point which
he visited. on his recent tour through the
Island, we have good reason to believe that
there was little sincerity in such exhibitions.
The wealthy Galatians, indeed, might have been
sincere in their pivas and expressions of graft
tude for the honor conferred on them; but the
oppressed and suffering Cubans had very little
sympathy with these rejoicings and manifested
no great regard for the representative of Her
Most Catholic Majesty. In Trinidad, some of
the wealthy inhabitants entertained Senior Cane
do in great style, pledging the fidelity of the
district towards the crown of CASTLE; but the
patriotic portion OF the citizens held aloof from
the demonstrations, and showed their sentiments
in the publication of a sort Of manifesto having
for text the following sentence -" The ruinous
condition Of Cuba, and the humilating degrade
tion of her sons, proceed from Spanish despot
ism, or from the selfshness of those Cubans in
whose hands are deposited the wealth of the
country"
The paper is written in tone of great bitter
ness and hostility against the oppressor and
his adulators, and shows the public sentiment
as anything but favorable to the Spanish domi-
MON. 1t is sign Of the times, and may prog
nosticate more revolutionary troubles little
ahead. We shall see.

q string of free colored colonies among the Co
ribbean islands; but whether he proposes to
make Hayti or Jamaica the basis of their govern
ment and confederation he has not informed us.
Fred Douglass, George X. Downing the oyster
man. and others Of the more intelligent free
colored reformers, are dead against Liberia
This is their country, and here they intend to
stay And yet it is evident that the time WILSON
arrive for something more definite, in the way
of legislation upon free persons of color, than
the retaliatory anti-free black laws among the
several States Canada itself has ceased to be
attractive to the free colored man. for the whites
even there, are beginning to rebel against
any further increase of his brethren. We know
Of nothing better, for the present, than Liberia
for the relief of the free colored exile Of this
country. Liberia is the place for him. There
the caste of color is in his favor. There he may
rise to the highest official positions, and there
he may increase and multiply, and extend the
area Of freedom indefinitely. The Caribbean
islands are not the thing. They are appropri-
ated. Liberia is the place.
Cannot something be done-in the language
of Mr. Clay, cannot something, and great deal,
be done to make Liberia attractive to the free
colored man? Has Young America given
him up and his cause? Why, now, should that
great commercial and phlanthropic project Of
the Ebony line Of steamers be abandoned /? Is
not Liberia. and the African coast northward
rich in palm oil, coffee, sugar, cotton, tobacco,
spices dyewoods. gold dust, ivory, and many
other articles of trade? 1t is to be hoped, for
he sake of the free colored people Of this coun-
nv. and for their relief, that the administration
will recommend some plan to Congress. This is
the age of progress. And there is plenty OF
money in the Treasury.

"extra allowances" will be allowed TO con-
tractors This, again. will save thousands a
year to the city, and for ever ruin the
knavish schemes Of set of rogues who
have fed on the public plumber for many
a day. Leases and grants will be made pub
licly to the highest responsible bidder. We
shall thus cease to hear that Mr.. B. has obtain
ed such and such property or privilege,
through the corrupt influence Of Mr.. A., his
brother or cousin, an Alderman, or by bribing
the leading members OF the board; and the real
estate belonging to the city will produce areve-
nue. in just proportion to its value. Contrac-
tors may save themselves the trouble Of ten
dering for contract, unless they can furnish
"adequte security" and thus the streets will
cease to be blocked up, and other works aban-
doned, by parties who have contracted to repair
the one or perform the other at rates tar below
their legitimate cost.
We might enumerate many other sensible
changes which the new act will effect but we
have said enough, we are sure, to secure for it
the vote of every patriotic citizen. To put a
few of these in the clearest light, we will
once more repeat that
/. The new act will forever prevent corrup-
ton. and rumors thereof
2. 1t will prevent wasteful expenditure, and
ensure economy in the disposal of the public
moneys.
3. It will enable the city to derive just
income from the public property.
H. 1t will insure the punctual performance
of public works by contractors with the city.
S. It will forever preclude favoritism in the
disposal of leases, ferries, &c.
And 10 these we may add,
g. 1t will deprive the aldermen of most Of
the judicial powers they have abused.
T. 1t will ensure to the city the services of a
police force during elections.
Here, it would seem, are reasons SO weighty
and so clear in favor Of adopting the act, that
the people might well be left to the exercise of
their own judgment in the matter. But there
are so many men in New York who are inter-
ested in the preservation of past abuses 80
many who have plundered the public in past
times, and hope to do SO again-so many who,
blinded by political prejudice, are striving to
make party question of the bill, and enlist the
wings on the side of corruption and mis-
chievous opposition to reform, that we cannot
refrain from warning the public what counsel
they seek on the subject.

DANGER. OF DRIVING CATTLE THROUGH THE
STREETs.-We had yesterday again another
exhibition of the dangerous consequences Of
driving cattle through the streets of the me-
tropolis. A bull became furiously enraged in
his progress through the town, and taking the
fashionable thoroughfare of Broadway for the
display Of his violent temper, he proceeded
along and up that street, until near Grace
Church; there he encountered obstruction or
opposition from some street PAYERS, one of
whom approached him with heavy implement
in his hands, to stay his progress; in an instant
the maddened animal rushed against the man,
goring him with his horns, and leaving him
senseless on the ground. Another workman
stationed himself with pick, or shovel before
the advancing bull, who prepared to attack
his adversary, seeing which, the man dropped
his weapon. and precipitately fed Onwent the
bull. How and where his career ended we did
not learn.
We would again earnestly urge upon the
Corporation to do something TO prevent cattle
being driven through the streets in the day
time; as not a day passes that large droves Of
cattle are not driven through the most fire.
quented streets up town.
In London, with two millions Of people, and
with large cattle market held at Smithfeld,
near st. Paul's Church. in the very heart Of the
city, no accidents from stray cattle are ever
heard Of The reason is, that drovers are COM
PEELED to drive their cattle through the streets

When at Smithfeld they are kept in pens-from
whence they can only be removed at night. Let
the same rule be adopted in New York, and we
