developed again in 1856, and we apprehend now,
from The signs of the times in Kansas and ia the
South, that this ultra Southern element, from the
agitation of this next Congress, will assume a
still more palpable, definite and formidable shape.
The compromise acts Of 1850 broke the back
bone of the old wing party-the Kansas Nebraska
bill of 1854 broke the backbone of the old de-
mocratic party-and from that day to this the
political debris ard loose party materials North
and South, have been in a state Of confusion and
efftrvesceuce. There was only partial crystal
lization in 1856-nothing fixed or conclusive.
That mushroom excrescence, the Know Nothing

its fragments are all adrift The prominent is

slavery or no slavery; and there is every indica-

fierce agitation between two hostile sectional
parties, and in the organization of new conser-
vative Union party, occupying the solid ground
between these dangerous extremes We

THE FARCE AT TIE CRY UALIn-ASome of the
papers are heaping goals Of fire on the head OF
Recorder Smith and other Judges by recountng
the number Of writs which have been issued
against Mayor Wood. One paper insinuates that
the Mayor ia such a horrible fellow that he was
actually arrested thirteen times These arrests
il need hardly lie mentioned all grow out OF the
fraoas at the City Hall the other day; they are
based on the action Of Mayer Wood in his official
capacity az Mayor of the city. The law says
that in such a case, he shall not he held TO an
swer or be tried for his conduct otherwise than on
the requisition Of the Governor, on due complaint
filed with him. Until his term Of service is ended
he enjoys freedom from arrest for acts performed
in his official capacity.
From this il may be seen into what a quagmire
ignorance Of the law has betrayed Recor-
der Smith and some other Judges. All the writs
against the Mayor are Illegal; and the judicial
officers who issued them are one and all guilty of
a breach Of the law for which they will be held
to answer in due time We will venture TO
promise the public trial of Recorder smsh.
like that Of Coroner Connery-though probably
less amusing; it would not be at all surprising If
Governor King was supplied with such evidence
Of the Recorders incapacity to fulfil the duties
of bis Office that he felt i! necessary to remove
him.
The trial Of the Recorder and other Judges viii
probably concur in point Of time with the trials
Of thoee fifty rioters, who, under the orders Of
Coroner Perry, and masquerading in the costume
of metropolitan policemen" made burglarious
attack upon the City Hall last week, and were
happily repelled by some policemen who were
there at the time. An attempt is being made by
the Tribune and other papers to beg these rioters
of, on the plea that they got go badly whipped
that they need no more punishment; but We think
with Recorder Smith that the majesty Of the law
must be INDICATED, and we therefore hope to see
them all tried for conspiracy, riot and forcible
entry. Simeon Draper, Nye, and other old often
ders will of course be indicted as principals in
the case.
