TIE SEWARD ORGANS AND THE Know No
THINGs.-Yesterday morning, simultaneously
with our leading article showing that the
Cabinet and the Seward organs are equally
hostile to the new party of the Know Nothings,
the Tribune came out with q violent attack
upon the new order, as if for the express pur-
pose Of strengthening our accusations. Read
the following extract
We believe the "Know Nothing array is destined to.
prove the deadest foe Of antisavery temperance and
every other reform movement and that the slave
mailing the Know Nothing lodges admirably suited to
their uses And in any movement like this politicians
by trade like the slave holders, viii always ouuanAge
the men who live by their own labor and can bestou
but casual attention upon politics.
We, too, 'believe that this Know Nothing ar
ray is destined to prove the deadliest foe Of
anti slavery" We, therefore, repeat our eau
tons to the true men of the South, to beware
of the drift of the hostility Of the Cabinet OF.
gans at Washington, Richmond and elsewhere,
to the Know Nothings, for fear that the admin
istrstion may entangle them in the meshes Of
the Seward coalition. A party which is repu-
dated by the anti-slavery organs, and by the
free soil spoilsmen Of the administration, may
be trusted upon the slavery question. Beware Of
o conjunction between the Cabinet and the Sew
ard coalition.

Know NOTHING lovEMENTs.-We understand
that the Know Nothings are about organizing
Council in Congress, and that the first results
will probably be some astonishing assertions
from the administration in both houses. We
are also informed that the new party will be on
hand at the M citing Of the Legislature at Alba
ny, for the enrolment ofmembers of both houses
there into the mysteries and political policy of
the order. The same course will most proba-
bly, be pursued III all the different State Legis-
latures. Thurlow Weed is very much frlghten-
ed concerning these Know Nothings, and the
chances Of Seward in our Assembly. We should
not be surprised if majority against the arch
agitator were my seriously to turn up on election
day. It is Of the highest Importance to the new
movement that Seward should be disposed Of
Nothing like telling blow at the very head Of
his anti-alavery coalition.

The ADMINISTRATION AT ITS OLD TRICKS -
The President and his bosom friend of the
Kitchen Cabinet-Col. Forney-are endeavor-
ing as usual before the meeting Of Congress to
divert attention from themselves by abusing
the editorof the HERALD. They again repeat
the old falsehood about Mr.. Buchanan's appro-
val Of the course Of the administration. We
reiterate our assertion that in conversation
with us, Mr. Buchanan most unequivocally
concurred in our doubts as to the stability Of
the administrator, and added that Mr.. Pierce
seemed to have committed the same fault as
Mr.. Polk. Mr.. Buchanan observed that he had
warned the latter of the consequences Of his
error, and events had fully justified his predic-
ton: and that the former seemed to have commit
ted the capital mistake of emitting to throw
the free soilers and secessionists into Opposi-
ton, and rely ing on the solid Union phalsnx.
This was the substance of Mr. Buchanan's con-
versati0n with us on the subject of Mr.. Pierce's
Cabinet. He has said more no doubt to others.
We question not but he has writtea his full
opinion on the subject to Col. Forney; and had
did with the one relating to Mr.. Siekles, the
whole world would have known Mr.. Buchanan's
views.
This paragon Of responsibility and virtue
John w. Forney denies that he ever received
a letter from Mr.. Buchanan accusing Sickles
of being incapable and complaining Of
him generally or that he ran about
Washington like maniac, reading this
letter to people at the corners of streets.
We say that he did. That is ALL We know
that he did both receive and show the letter:
and we know that the letter contained what we
said it did. Let Forney publish it, if this be
not true, and put US to shame. We call for that
letter of Mr.. Buchanan's. People must not be
stabbed in the dark. Let us know what Blu
chanan did say in reference to Mr.. Sickles-his
capacity-and the Peabody dispute.
And go Jonn w. Forney thinks and calls him
self ian honorable and high-minded man" So
did One-Eyed Thompson: so do all rascals. All
do not say it in print: some have shame: Colo
mel Forney has not, and he states the fact in
'minion." He gives himself certificate Of /" ho-
nor and high-mindedness:" speaks Of himself in
the third person, and talks of his associations
with Col. Forney." This is convenient. It
might not be 80 easy to find another person in
Washington to certify to Forney's "honor, ?
after the Forrest letter. This duality is CAPT
tai continuance When Forney the Clerk, states
what is not true, Forney the Editor swears
that he knows Forney the Clerk, having been
intimate with him for years, and that he lie
totally incapable Of lying When Forney the
Clerk violates private confidence, Forney the
Editor assures the public that from his ac-
quaintance with Forney the Clerk, he is en-
abled to say that che shrinks from little low
things Of the kind" Needless to add that in
return for these small. services, Forney the
Editor is fed and lodged and clothed by For
ney, the Clerk.

more valuable than others; but we have no
objection to that, provided oil are independent
There would still be many good consulates for
the reward Of merit, and requiring high quail
fcations. This would be the true economy, for
there would not be such extensive swindling in
theinvoices of goods as is now practised under
our ad valorem tariff Consuls would no longer
be dependent upon merchants, and afraid
TO offend them by imreaching the correctness
of the invoices submitted them for verifcation.
We object, too, to any Consul being restrict:
ed by law from engaging in commerce. Make
the Consuls independent and few of them will
care to undertake business Their facilities,
however, are greatly exaggerated. It is at
very few ports that they have any. One Of
the beauties of the system now in force is that
United States Consuls are particularly hated
by their fellow-citizens, especially shipmastcrs,
and have not their confidence. This lie
owing partly to the high fee system, or rather
the frequent overcharge Of fees, ito prevent
officials from starving,) and to the character Of
many of the Consuls themselves, To say that
the appointments have frequently been injudi-
cious, would be to say little. Men are often,
in fact generally, appointed to consulates
without the slightest regard being paid to their
qualifications, who have not the faintcst idea Of

Of DR.. Kane was last heard from on the
tho Esd Of July, 1853, when he was at Upper
