A YANKEE NAvIGAT6R.-A down

manage small sloop, when a master
of a Liverpool packet, who had been
dodging out of the way, incensed at
their awkwardness, called out:
"What sloop is that ?" 1.-The Sally,
from Maine," cried the Yankee.
"Who commands her 2" "Wen,"
said the Yankee, II undertook to, but

question Of Kansas as free State, or as slave
State; but it will unfold variety OF other ques-
tions great and small, some of the highest inte-,
rest to all parties in the country, and soYs of the
greatest moment 10 the whole civilizf IN 'orld.
We begin, tomorrow, new chapter a our POI
litical history; Tor whether Fremont ~ Buchanan
shall be elected we shall have an exciting revou-
ton of some sort, among our politicians, spoils-
men, and parties, and in our public affairs at
Washington With Fremont's election, sDis revo-
luton will be grand and comprehensive; with the
success Of Buchanan, it may be reduced to the
old squabble for the spoils, among the cliqucs
and factions of the fierce democracy. IN any
event, an interesting time is promised. and wepro-
mise our readers their full share Of the fun.

DIsNGENuousSEss or THE JOURNAL OF Cow
AERcE.--It is hardly worth while at this hour Of
day to undertake to correct the misstatements OF
the buchanan organs; but the view given Of Col.
Fremont's position in the Journal Of Commerce of
yesterday is 80 false and disingcnuous that we
think We may stop TO expose il.
The Journal takes exception 10 Col. Fremont
on the ground that he has had no official or par
liameniary experience. so much the better for
him. No great executive officer ever was trained
in parliamentary or official harness. The great
rulers Of nations Bonapartc, Cromwell, WASH
inpton, Jaclson-were new men when they rose to
command. II Col. Fremont IL not NJ for the
Presidency, then they were not fit for the posts
they filed.
To prove Fremont a disunionist, the Journal
quotes the language OF certain raving abolition
lists Of Boston, who have declared and published,
over their own signatures, that they were OPP
posed to Fremont, and preferred Buchanan, as
the more likely man Of the two TO hasten the dis
solution Of the Union. This the Journal does
when almost every prominent friend that Bu-
chanan has in the South is in favor Of disunior I
rroclaims that 10 be his opinion, and is ready to
take up arms tomorrow
Such IL the journal which s understood to be
the mouthpiece of Wall street picty and mercan-
tile responsibility.

MEMBERS % CONGRESS- roR the CTy.--lt is a
singular fact that this great metropolis has re-
Gently been represented in the Congress Of the
nation by some Of the worst and meancst speci-
mems Of humanity that could be drawn from the
lowest strata in the different districts. For the past
twenty-five years we have been digging down
through the political strata till we have come 10
the lowest ledge, and now ii seems almost impos-
sble for US TO take an upward turn. On look
ing over the lists of the candidates presented for
popular support tsday, we find heap Of rub
bish, put forward by rubbish conventions, aud
generally not IL for the support Of any Christian
man. There are still, however, some good
names: but among the eighteen or twenty candi-
dates before the people there are hardly more
than three or four who are worth notice, or any
effort to elect them. Without any regard to their
party afiinitics, and having in view only their
own merits. we should select Horace r. Clark, in
the Eighth district: John Cochrane, in the Sixth,
and George Briggs, in the Seventh. These, with
one or two Others, form the only exceptions to
the great mass Of trash hardly above the
average of small potato ward politicians.
Mr.. Clark has been nominated by the demo
crazy. We don't consider it any particular
advantage to have been nominated by the demo
craey. The democracy is made up OF good and
evil with pretty large slice Of the evil prepon-
dersiing. Mr.. Clark however, is an able, ind I
pendent. talented man, and will be voted for
without regard to his political afnities The
only thing that we know against him is that he
oined the confederation Of blackguards we
canno, call them anything elsc-who have been
hunting Fernando Wood as If he was a royal
Bengal tiger in the democratic jungle. wclearn,
however, that Mr.. Clark has now come out from
this faction, and heartily supports Mr.. Wood.
Then there is John Cochrane who is almost "a
we'll known as John Van Buren,. Cochrane il
more consistent than Van Buren, and has more
stuff in him John has good deal OF wit and
humor when he is so minded, but of late he has
bcen rather sombrc and tragcal John i.a cana
bic. clever industrious man, and the only objection
10 him was his connection with the Libby move
ment. He has however, come out from tt
shaken the dust of his feet, cleansed his gar
men,s. and now stands right lie il an able
man. and will make good member of Congress.
