appliances of twenty millions, they have failed.
Well, we are waiting for the final disposition
of the subject, and for the correspondence
touching the csncoction OF this Gadsden abor-
ton. The administration may shrink from it,
butt must come out.
Mr.. FnLMoRE's PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH
The triumrhal progress of Mr. Fillmore through
the South must be excessively uncomfortable
to W. H. Seward and his partisans. Can it be
possible that the Fillmore men Of this State will
hereafter recognize any affiliations with the
Sewardtes after the latest manifestations Of the
arch-ag itator and his organs? While thislatter
faction have been doing their utmost for the
last two months to revive the anti-slavery agi-
tation, and to infame the North and South
against each other to the extremity Of disunion,
Mr.. Fillmore has been casting oil upon the
troubled waters in the patriotic duty Of o
peacemaker. But there are many curious
vicssitudes in party politics Would any body
be surprised if the whole wing party of the
North, in conjunction with all the outside anti
slavery elements, should unite upon Seward in
1856, while Mr.. Fillmore is forgotten even in
the South? Party politicians are faithless
set; and hence we are compelled to be con-
stantly upon the watch. Where are the Fill
more men of New York? They are weak
sisters, and we must not overlook them Where
are they now?
The CUBAN SLAVE TRADE-By reference to
our English advices by the Arctic it will be
seen that the House of Commons have been
broaching again the question of the Cuban slave
trade, and that they are resolved it shall be
stopped, even r to do so it shall become expe-
dent to let the island fall quietly into the pos
session of the United States. We have been
thinking that this might be one of the trans
meantime, it seems that the slave trade with
Cuba is increasing to most shameful and in
siderable degree, while the Spanish officials and
their journals are becoming as insolent towards
the United States and our commerce and our
citizens as if these petty colonas felt that they
were really anxious for row. But this state
of things cannot last long. The European
earthquake will soon show us where En- gland
and France are in reference to Cuba, and Senior
Pezuela will be very apt to learn very uneX-
pcctedly on some fine morning, unless he mends
his manners, the exact intentions Of the "infer-
nal Yankees" The administration at Washing
ton will not be permitted to trife with the Cuban
authorities much longer. The African, with the
island slave trade, must be suppressed. Lord
John Russell thinks we shall have to dc it. We
think so, too.
HANGING IN EFfTeY.-rhe last affair of bono.
ing Judge Douglas in effigy Came off ct Tren-
ton, New Jersey, the other day. This make,
some ten or twelve acts Of this kind in honor of
Judge Douglas that have disgraced the vulgar
malice Of our Northern anti-slavery fanatics
Hanging and burning in efigy are but senseless
exhibitions of the miserable spirit of abolition
ism. An effigy Of rags and straw is but sorry
argument against the principle Of the Nebraska
bill. 1t is constitutional principle, and must
ultimately prevail. 1t was perhaps too prema-
turely brought in for the relief Of desperate
administration which may kill the bill for the
present, but the great principle involved must
finally triumph. A string of efigies from Bos-
ton to Chicago can have no weight against the
final repeal of an unconstitutional act. Chill
dren may be amused at the hanging of member
Of Congress in effigy, but the scarecrow does
not frighten anybody. Let them hang on.
