to he feasible, and easy OF arrangement All
that lie required is 10 leave the Administra-
ton ana the polls ont Of the question, and
reorganize the party upon a new Union and
constitutional platform, in direct hostility TO
the seditious abolition policy OF the wig coali-
tior, and for the express object Of ioGming
nucleus for great national conservative party
against the abolition conspirators in 1856. Let
this be done, and the Seward coalition may be
scattered to the winds III November. 1t will
require few days more, in view Of this move
ment, TO shape out the probabilities OF the cleo
ton. There is yet chance that the sober
second thought" Of the democrats, and the con-
servatiye principles of constitutional union
platform, may save the State. The democrats
must ultimately reorganize upon broader
basis than the spells or the Administration
Now is the accepted time.
The AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE-,NEw YORK
IMPLIcATED-We apprehend that it is pretty
generally known that most of the fast sailing
vessels engaged in the African slave trade are
built either in Maine, Massachusetts,, or New
York. They bring good prices and the cash
down, and our Northern people are ever ready
for good profitable cash business, though it
may occasionally embrace the shipment of ne
| groes from Africa to Cuba. Of late several
slavers have been captured, said to have been
built in New York or some other Northern
port At present we are informed that, acting
upon certain discoveries recently made, our
vieilant District Attorney, Mr., McKeon is
prosecuting an investigation before the Grani
Jury, the results of which will astonish the
unsuspecting Quakers living in this community.
| Only think of slave ship, with all the neces
sary fixtures, materials supplies, provisions,
| papers in several languages, &c, &c., being
| fitted up and despatched from this port, as i
the traffic were a legitimate business. The law
| declares it piracy-a capital crime---and we
should not wonder if the results of the presens
| examination were to involve the personal
safety of various enterprising individuals.
| The public rnAy rely upon it that the Dis riot
| Attorney will sift the matter to the bottom
GEN. CAss GONE BY THE BoARD.-We pub
lished, few days ago, the substance of
speech lately delivered by General Cass at
Detroit, on the Nebraska question. In I
course Of those remarks, the good old Genei
took occasion to say that he was thankful tba
| his place of residence was in free State, G. =
that he did not, ind never did, like this thing
of Southern slavery. This was perhaps neces-
saIy to his Detroit constituents, as a sop to the
Cerberus of abolitionism. But the aforesaid
remarks do not appear to suit so well =

line The Richmond Enquirer thus takes the
distinguished Senator from Michigan by the
shoulders and plunges him overheard -
Gen Csss might have moderated his language to suit

South to recoect only the brave words which he uttered
Washington and to take for naught the treacherou5
tation at Detroit. II his language be correctly

cord that bound him to the democracy Of the South
Hencefoth he must rank with Benton and Van Buren,

confidence Tie weak attempt to two masters,
reconcile devotion to the constitution with subms -loa
to abotionism-an attempt to which he persuaded
BY the suggestion of an undyiDg ambton-has placed
him with these iurious apostates in the limbo Of lost
i and dishonored politicians.

1t is certainly amusing to hear Southern
