IIcE CoNmssroN.-The proceedings Of the Board
of Metropolitan Police Commissioners yesterday,
Of which we give full report elsewhere in our
columns, manifested no change ia the peculiar
condition Of affairs to which we advcrted in our
article of yesterday. The three republican mem
hers cling closely to the line Of policy which
they have chalked on, for Themselves, and the
democratic and American members adhere Just
o. obstnateIy to theirs This was shown in the
debate and vote on the proposition 10 change the
hour Of meeting. As on the previous day, IL was
tic vote, and the proposition accordingly failed
The same obstinacy will doubtless continue TO be
exhibited whenever any measure or proposition
of Importance comes up before the Board. II is

gation OF this city can ever be perfected under

The gas filters tell MS that the fault is with the

own property or MOAN afford to regard lightly
revolutionary prospect which would convulse
the financial world, shut the banks' doors on
him. curtail his sales, and ruin his customers.
Every business maa desires peace and tranquil
lily; they are the life and soul of his success.
Nor can man, who, without being in business,
owns stocks in banks, railroads or State secu-
rites, contemplate political coovulsion
without terror. For revolution means the de-
probation of every security, and the ruin Of
many; men cannot be reasonably expected to
aid contamination which would cost them half
or perhaps the whole of their income. We must
therefore exclude from the remaining million all
business men not property owners, and all indi-
vidua!s having money invested in securities of
any Kind. What remains?
Really, the only persons in this country who
have neither property nor fixed business, nor
money invested, nor interest of any kind in any
established trade, are few poor raw emigrants
who work at manual labor, and very few spend
thrift and worthless natives. These are the only
persons in the country who could afford to en-
brace the doctrines of the Charleston Mercury or
the Worcester Convention And as these classes
are both ignorant and needless, it is quite unlike
ly that even they could be relied upon for votes
at political crisis.
Where then is the party or parties to come
from. which is to give importanceto the disunion-
ist doctrine? We confess that under the exist
ing franchise, we cannot answer this question.
There will always be in the country few dis
contented and sickiy minded persons who will
embrace this and that insane novelty, and will
ride ii to death in due tme-such men as the
Gayrisons of Massachusetts, and the editors of the
Mercury in South Carolina. But they are all cap
tairs; where is their army to come from? Echo
answers indeed: wheres
There never was time when the intense con-
sefvatism of the American people was more es-
tential, more beneficial or more universal than it
is at the present day. We require absolutely
no,hirg TO insure us the most unbounded pros
perity but g sensible conservative course. Aud
nothing could satisfy the public that the present
administration is pursuing that course in judi
cious manner SO we'll as the abuse that is lavish
cd upon it by such impracticable fanatics as. the
Charleston Mercury and the Worcester Con
vention.
