THE Hoe NuIsANcE.-.There lie no more
fruitful method t. bring about the growth of q
large crop Of cholera, and other epidemic dis
cases. than the keeping Of unclean animals
within the city limits. This fact was demon
strated long time ago, and we have law
which provides that hogs shall not be kept in
the city below Eghty-frst street. This law,
like many others, has become almost dead
letter but there is now some prospect that it
will be partially, if not strictly, enforced. The
City Inspector has ascertained that many pub
lie spirited citizens are engaged in the hog
breeding business in the upper wards of the
city-a great many were found near Fiftieth
street, and the owners have been duly indicted.
During the last fortnight not a single cur, of
high or low degree, has dared to indulge in the
luxury of an unrestricted promenade, and the
execution of the hog law is just as important to
the health and safety of our citizens as that of
the dog law. Hog pens are nuisances in the
city at any time, but in the summer their por-

authorities of the StntA representing the
people thareof, and entitled to call upon each
and every one Of those people to aid and assist
them in the discharge Of the dnt4s imposed upon
them by the constitution. Mr.. Sumner en-
phatically declares that he recognizes no obi
cation on him TO render such aid or assistance.
Could he possibly have said in palmer words
that he docs not regard the article we have
quoted freva the constitution to have any bind
ing force or effect-that he intends to disobey
and pE<~oke disobedience to and revolt against
the very constitution he swore to support?
What his aim and object were in thus adding
perjLry to treason, we have shown already. 1t
repnains to be seen whether the display of these
t qualities will procure him fresh favor among
the people of the North, and set him in advance
7of or on par with his rival, Mr.. Seward. We
have no means Of estimating the esteem in
which perjury and treason are held among the
school of politicians to which they belong But
we do know that self-confessed rebel against
the constitution is an impudent intruder into a
body sworn to support that constitution. Every
man in this country is free to hold what opinion
he chooses. We have no necessary quarrel
with any for believing that the constitution is
not binding on them. But those who do be-
] eve such things have no business in the United
| States Senate. Infidels have no claim to speak
| in our churches; and if an anti-mason ventures
to declaim against masonry in lodge, having
orswOrn himself to obtain admission therein
he will incontinently be expelled. So Mr..
Sumner, who throws off his allegiance to the
constitution, deserves to be driven from the
Senate chamber. His admission was fraud on
the body and the country; his oath was a de-
testable perjury; his expulsion would be an
act Of justice to himself and proper evidence
of the high character of the assembly he de-
grades by his presence.

FAMINE IN HOLY LASD.-It appears that I'll 1se
fearful visitations of dearth and famine, to
which the people Of Israel were SO frequently
subjected in ancient times, are still among the
most serious drawbacks to a settled residence
in the Holy Land. Recent letters from the We
nerable city Of Hebron, calling upon Sir Moses
Montifeore for relief, say that the land of Judea
is consuming its people," that "the dearth
which prevails is unparalleled in the annals of
the country. Failing harvests are superseded
by drought, so that the face of the earth is lite
rally scorched, and the wall of the furnished
multitudes is heard by day and by night, and
our streets are thronged with starving children,
who vainly implore for food"
Such are the approximations of the elders
and wardens of the congregations in Hebron,
reminding us forcibly of similar recorded mis-
fortunes in the history Of the patriarchs, pro-
phets, judges, and kings of Israel. The rem
nant Of Israel, still abiding in the country of
David and Solomon, now call for relief against
drought and famine. And, we doubt not, that
with relief their cry will be answered from our
bountiful supplies. The Rev. s. M. Isaacs, $50
houston street, New York, to this end, will
thankfully acknowledge any contributions that
may be given to his charge.

The GADsDEN TREATY AND THE, SENATE-The
Senate at Washington are reported as having
gone into executive session yesterday upon the
Gadsden treaty! But why this secresy now,
the treaty being consummateds Is there no
man in the Senate of sufficient moral courage
and independence to call for the secret cor
respondence upon this treaty with view to its
publication? Let us know who are the partici-
pants in these ten millions of the spoils Are
Senators afraid Of treading upon the toes Of
the Kitchen Cabinet? Have the people no in
terest in the public money? Are both Houses
of Congress responsible only to the Executive
for their acts? Have the members of Congress,
like the Executive, made up their minds for re-
tirement at the expiration of their present term
of office; and are they thus resolved to make
the most of it? In behalf Of the people, who
foot the bills we should like to know.

The same subject is agitating the good people
of Brooklyn, and we see that the citizens Of
the Ninth ward are to hold meeting this eve
ming, for the purpose of taking measures against
an intimidation Of peripatetic pork, with which
they are threatened. In case the law is not
fully enforced in this city, we would recon-
mend the citizens of the upper wards to pursue
similar course. The City Inspector has, how
ever, manifested disposition to do his duty in
the premises and we trust that he will not
falter by the wayside. Away with all nuisances.

Similar statements respecting the transportation Of

sour Dispatch There 10 here and there smpleton to be
yet found told, who pretends to argue that
slavery will not and cannot into these Territories To
al such there is q short answer: The immigration of
slaves and shareholders into Kansas Nebraska
ready begun
Very well, the two Territories are open to
the people of the South and he North-to
shareholders as well as to abolitionists. The
issue Of slavery or no slavery in Kansas and
Nebraska rests with the people thereof, when
they shall come to ask for admission as States
into the Union. Meantime, there is no consti-
tutional impeachment to the Massachusetts, emf
acting scheme of the Missouri shareholders.
Kansas and Nebraska are open for a fair con
test between slavery and anti-slavery, North
and South. If the South lose, we presume
they will submit to it with cheerfulness if
they should win, it will be upon a fair notice
and full trial
How absurd to talk Of repeal of the repeal
ing clause Of the Nebraska bill. when, by the
meeting OF the next Congress, Kansas and Ne
brasla, Oregon and Minnesota may all be
knocking for admission as States into the
Union! The restoration of the Missouri restric-
ton is ridiculous enterprise. The restriction is
done for-the practical issue is in the emigration
to Kansas and Nebraska; and if Theodore Par
ker, Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison, Horace
Greeley and Company desire to do anything
for the cause Of free soil, they ought to 60
out and settle in Kansas forthwith. Their pre-
sence in that Territory would bring them
into more immediate contact with the peculiar

so little and assume to know SO much. In this
way their demagoguism and fanaticism might
be tempered into liberation, and they mig',t
thus become quiet and useful citizens. 1t would
not be surprising if they should consent, by
and-by to hold few slaves themselves, should
slavery be established in Kansas. At all events,
the occasion should not be thrown away for
fair trial in Kansas and Nebraska between the
disorganizing and disunion frebrands Of the
North and the South, face to face. Let the
South give John Mitchell plantation in Kan
sas, "well stocked with good fat negroes" and
let Horace Greeley establish alongside Of him
an abolition, woman's rights, Fourierite pha-
lanx, and let the people of the Territory abide
by the result, if they think proper. At all
events, let the agitators who are going into
spasms concerning slavery in Kansas, bundle
up and move out there without delay. The sooner
the issue upon the great fundamental doctrine of
squatter sovereignty is settled the better.
There can be no repeal Of the sovereignty Of
the people.
