Mn GREELEY's CAsE.-The Paris correspon-
dent Of the New York Commercial Advertiser
furnishes the following version of the case of
Horace Greeley
9Th Greeley affair is yet unsettled. Mr.
IT, has been unable 10 make it appear that he
IS not liable for damages resulting from the neg
llgence of a board of directors, of which he
was one. The final hearing has been put OIL
for five weeks, both parties having thus time to
Obtain evidence from the United States. Mr.
Greeley Is at liberty, Of course, and has gone,
or is going to Geneva. But he must be back
for the trial. The interests Of the French ar
fist will doubtless be very earnestly pressed, as
the ease Is represented 10 be a very shocking
one Of carelessness, If not worse. Should the
decision be against Mr. Greeley, it is probable
he would be Immediately assailed by myriads OF
other plaintiffs also demanding damages. He
Is IN an annoying, not TO say perplexing situa-
tion."

THE NEXT NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

The Boston Post is In favor Of The denomination
Of Franklin Pierce, and has expressed its belief
that IL thus ~re-nominated his election is a sure
thing. No paper but the Post coald get Of such a
cool opinion during the weather Of the last ten
days. All the little organs throughout New Eng
land, taking their cue from the Post, have express
Cd similar preferences and uttered similar conyic-
tons. They have manifested great courage in at
tempting thus early to manufacture q public senti-
ment which shall result not 80 much in the election
Of Pierce or any other individual, as in keeping
them In their present positions at the public crib.
II is amusing to sec the calculations made by
son Of these lesser lights, and to witness the
foundations upon which they intend to erect these
castles. One of them argues that the success Of
the Democracy is certain, for, says its sagacious
editor, eve can carry every Southern State, Penn
sylvania. Illinois, Michigan and ew-Hampshirc'
A pretty confession surely. Such Is the broad
nationality Of the Democratic party-a nation
ality based upon the blackest sectionallsm, and
having It's foundations in domestic or political ser
yiiule.
But, amer all, there is much In The above that is
suggestive. Prom all the indications we have OBJ
served 1t seems evident to Us that the next Presi-
dental contest win be waged upon the issue Of slav-
ery-extension. The Democratic party will. another
year, as Il has always been, In the past. be found
allied with the South. and doing service in its cause
under the guisc Of "unionism'' and nationality. .
II Is idle to think the inhabitants Of the slave states
will accept any issues or any candidates that are
not sound, in their estimation Of what constitutes
soundness, on this all-impOrtAnt question. Their
other notions Of political economy, Of legislation
and Of sta'esmanship are not so fixed but that they
can be made to yield to the demands Of their cher
ished institution, no matter with what party Il re-
quires them to affiliate.
This position Of the South requires the North to
accept the issue thus thrown down, and assert its
Claims TO nationality by declaring, as has already
been done in many States, Freedom national aud
Slavery sectional" While we hold that the North
should not interfere In the least with any Of the mu-
nicipal institutions or regulations Of the South, nor
throw any obstacles in the way Of It's constitutional
reclamation Of its fugitive property, nor seek to i'm
pair any or the constitutional privileges guaran-
ieod to the South, we do hold that Il is the duty Of
the North as men, citizens. politicians and patriots
to set their faces firmly against oil the encroaeh-
ments Of slavery. and to leave no stone urturnei
in resisting its extension. We have been driven to
take this position and there let US stand.
