TO CONGRESS-.

An Albany sheet, whose intense and chronic ma
ligny excites lOathng, charges THE TRIBUNE with
duplicity and shutting in having first pledged the
Wing party to support for reelection all those Demo-
cratic Members of Congress who opposed the Ne
braska bill and subsequently turned against them.
These charges are alike and utterly false. We
assumed nor pretended to any authority or power to
pledge Wing nominations or votes for any cause or
person whatever. But We did SAY, and still hold,
that it would be and still is advisable to return to
the next House every determined, incorporating
opponent in the present House Of the principle Of
nominal Indifference but real favor to Slavery Exten-
sion embodied in Mr.. Douglass BILL now the act Or
eaniziDg the Territories Of Nebraska and Kansas.
We believe the moral effect of such general re-
election would be very great, and that experienced
Members would be more effective in the coming
struggle than new ones. And, as we deem it more
important that the detection of Douglas and his fell
low traitors to Northern principles aud rights should
be rebuked than that either Of the old National par
ties should predomina;e n the next Congress- we did
hope for and urge the reelection Of siucere and
thorough AutiDouglas Democrats by tae help Of
Whig votes. Our suggestions TO this end may or may
be needed, but conviction of their pertinence
and Justice remains unshaken.
We have already stated that til ere were some Mem
bers who voted against the Nebraska bill its final
passage, who betrayed by their previous maueuvers
the heartlesspess of their course There were Members
who voted pretended to pair off opponents Of the
bill who kept up secret understanding with its lead
ing patrons and supporters, and pledged to them
to oppose it as mildly and inefectivey as possible.
and even give them ely lift whenever they supposed
they could without being observed by their consttu
ents Need we cay that We don, choose to promote
the reelection Of this Sort matter of wbs' politics
The Members from this part of our State who op-
posed the Nebraska bill throughout were JAMES
MAURICE, JOHN WHEELER aud JARED V. PEcK.
We believe all these sound and true men-that they
opposed Douglas Co. because they were sincerely
averse TO ProSlsvery agitation and aggression-and
that they may be relied on to persevere they have
begun So beevfh it is earnest desrsthat they
should all be independent aud successful candidates
for reelection, and we hope no whig candidates will
be nominated against them. But we do not assume
speak for Others nor to pledge any to act as we
think best ALI that we can say is that so far as we
have been able to confer with whgs residing in tAsir
several districts decided majority Of them appear
to think and ietl as We do. We believe there arc
other Members from our own and sister States whom
we should on party grounds oppose but who because
Of their decided and manly fidelity to freedom and
resistance to party drill and Executive blipdshments

TRADE WITH AFRICA.

The American Colonization Society, through its
Secretary, the Rev. r. r. Gurley. is now endeavor-
ing to establish regular line Of sailing packets be-
tween this port and Liberis. The entire capital
quired is 100000, whereof a considerable proper.
ton has already been subscribed
This enterprise is on too small scale for the ends
it contempates but considering the hardness of the
times it may be quite as large as new be pru.

not had regular and active intercourse with the
western coast Of Afrisa long this. We may begin
with sailing vessels, but there should be line OF

SHAM DEMOCRACY 1LLu,rRarEp.

The Democratic party Of our City divided some
twenty months since, forming the two factions which
have come TO be known as " Harris" aud Softs.'
In this City, there is often good deal of discussion
as to which is regular Democracy in the party
aud which is bogus, and the possession of Tammsny
Hall has been fixed upon a. determining sign of
regularity. The party having possession of that Hail.
with the right Of holding its meetings there is 50 all

But the right to determine who shall have admis-
sion to TammaDy Hall is not lodged in tae party itself
any OF its representatives functionaries but in
secret and exclusive political order known as the
TammaDy Soc ETY.. That Society opens and shuts the
temple as it sees fit So when the split in the party
took place and two General Committees we're chosen
the Tammany Society indorsed that known as soft"
AID branded the Hard" as disorganizng; giving the
right to hold meetings in the Hall to the former alone
The Hsds. thus branded disor sanzers and

There seems to be great danger that Mr.. T. l..
Cpgman may be swndled out of the SenatOrship for
which he has SO long been mar reuyeriog. 1t is true
he paid the price for it at the late election in
North Carolina; but the victors having used him,
seem inclined to turn him of on the ground that
bis wasn't so much of food after all. Besides,
they have any number of aspiring patriots within the
ranks of the original Democracy, who would willing
ly serve their country in the Senatorial function.
There is terrible danger then that poor Clingmsn,
will be cheated We have feared as much ever since
heard of his going to those champagne suppers at
Washington last winter'at the expense of COL Colt,
and especially since he left his seat meet some Of
the ladies he had at that splendid board and lost
the chance of voting on the Wisconsin land grants.
What could thus sensitive to the Establishments
of female lobby agents expect to accomplish in trade
with the Democracy Of such State as that Of
course, the chance is he will be taken in In that
we know of nobody that will sympsthize with him
in bis misfortune, except it be those ladies' We dare
say they ill never cut friend who has done them

We again call the attention Of the public to the
