The American Tract Socety's Anniversary Meet
ing yesterday must have disappointed those who
had been persuaded by the Cotton Press of our city
that dark conspiracy existed to "AbolitiOnize !"
it, by the expulsion Of its old managers and func-
tiOnaries. No opposition was made to the reelec-
tOn of those Officers-nOt even to that of the Rev.
Nehemiah Adams, D. D.-and the extraordinary
drumming up of supporters of the management
proved entirely superhuOus. But Committee Of
fifteen was raised to investigate the management of
the Society's affairs generally, and clothed with
ample powers, having also the pledge Of the Execu-
tive Committees cordial cooperation.
We trust the investigation thus ordered has been
placed in able faithful hands, and that the duty and
true policy of the Society will be set forth beyond
cavil its Report. We care not for by-gOnes; but
let the whole public know exactly what is the Tract
Societys position and policy with regard to Slavery
and other forms of chronic and legazed wrong. If
good Christian may justifiably hold his brother
Christian in perpetual bondage wherever the law
of the land permits, let US know whether he may
also keep u gambling house rum hole where
gambling houses and rum-hOles are legazed. In
many cities Of Continental Europe, women are
licensed to lead life of shane let us clearly I'M
derstand whether such licenses may be pleaded at
the bar of the Tract Society in vndication of the
moral and religious character of their pOssessors.
Let us know precisely what power of dlspensation
to override the eternal distinction of Right from
Wrong is possessed by the State in the view of the
Tract Society. If an evangelical Christian may
plead at the bar of his Church. at is true that
"am the legal master of human beings,
"whom have consigned to lifelong ignorance,
"debasement, concubinage, unrequiied toll and
" absolute, utter dependence on my will; but
" such is the law of the land, and must obey it,"
LET us know why the Church might not and should
not say to him: 'Sir, the law does no. forbid
"you taking those poor dependents to some other
State or community in which no such atrocious
enactments usurp the name of laws; and this is
what you must do if you would remain in Chris.
tan fellowship" Let the Committee Of Investi-
CATION consider the whole subject candidy search.
ingly, in the full light of that Gospel which
they mean to honor and diffuse and we are sure
that great good will result though the Societys
immediate conclusion may be tmid and mistaken.

be supposed that it is this ground that the Pres
dent makes the distinction to which we have re-
ferred. More likely that distinction il based on the
fact of Jones's being an Officer-and no doubt he
has just as good title to be so considered as the
persons elected by the Border. Ruffans had to be
regarded az q Territorial Legislature. Regarded
as an officer, Jones becomes q great characterize
high above mere private unofficial citizens that
though they may be murdered with impunty, any
attack upon his person. and especially his life must
be ferreted out and punished by the exertion not
merely of the PRESIDENT civil but of his military
authority also.
There is, however, one of these uninvestigated
murders, in which an officer of the United States
was concerned, and on that score, careless as the
President may be of matters in which mere private
citizens are involved, it might perhaps merit in
some degree his official attention. We cannot tell
how the matter may strike President Pierce or Mr.
Attorney General Cushing; but it would seem to
us that, however grave and worthy Of the Presl-
dents most serious notice an attempt upon the life
of Territorial official may be, yet that cold
blOOded murder, committed by An officer of his
own appointment upon peaceful and unarmed cit
izen, might possibly also be matter which would
warrant some action on his part; and if a murder
should be proved, and the guilt Of it fixed upon
United States officer, his removal from the Office
which he now holds. And this action on the part
of the President would seem to be the more needed
because everybody knows that if the officer IN
question had killed ten Free-State men instead of
one, 20 far from being in any danger of being pun
i,hed by the Territorial authorities, he would be
sure OF their thanks and applause.
Even if the President has no personal objection
keeping murderers in Office, nevertheless, as
matter of policy and out of respective do not say
to the Free-State settlers of Kansas, whom, doubt
less, the President hates too heartily to trouble
himself much about satisfying them-but out Of re-
spect to public sentiment generally it might be well
to make little show of impartiality so far at least
as to afford colorado grounds for denying that he
actually cOnnives at the murder

RECOGNITION OF WALKER.
From Our Own Correspondent.


WASHINGTON. Wednesday, May :, 1856.
The divisions in the Cabine. and the rem0n-
strances from Conservative portions South. and
from other portions, have induced the President to
suspend decision on the recognition of Walkers
Government The subject may come up in the
Cabinet tomorrow for reconsideration. Mr.. Hun
ter and several other Senators have protested earn
estly, without receiving any positive assurance as
TO the final determination Gen. Cass was strongly
inclined to the fllibusters last week, but il now
more subdued.
Letters were received recently stating explicitly
that Walker had made Overtures to England for an
alliance on the basis of the exclusive privilege of the
Isthmus, at the time when he was in correspond
ence with Costa Rica.
The interview between our Military Commission
sent to the Crimea and the French Minister of War
was singularly rude and offensive on the part of the
latter After refusing the courtesy of inspection
he closed in these words: Good by, till the first
cannOn-shOt."
The Delegates from South Carolina to the Gin
cinnati Convention, though ostensibly for Pierce,
are for Douglas alternatively.
1t is ascertained that there are thirty.fye Sena-
tors at present foy confirming the pending Naval
nominations on direct vote, which is decided
msjority, counting absentees and vacancies.

FEDERAL SHIP. BUILDING.-A correspondent
writes, with reference to the reported failure of
the Merrmack, that all the boilers in the new U.
s. steamships will prove failures or soon burn out,
and that the Secretary of the Navy was seasOnably
warned of the fact Our correspondent says these
boilers were arranged or planned to evade certain
patent, &c.-a private matter into which We cannot
enter. But We can set forth our general convic-
ton that steamship-building by our Government
will ever prove, as it so far has proved gigantic
blunder and waste; and that economy and efficiency
combine to dictate the policy of buying instead of
building. Whenever the Government shall deem
itself in want Of steamships, let it advertise such
want, and, in open and fair competition among
builders and owners, buy such vessels as it deems
qualified most economically to satisfy its needs.
Such, we sure, is the true policy, but We have
little hope Of seeing it adopted.
