DIFFICULT PROBLEM. :

A late number of the London Star, in an able art-
Gle ON the slave-trade discussion that has recently
occurred in the British Parliament IA part of which
discussion appears in our columns to-day,) closes
with the following practical question which will
prove scramble bis repiia to the parliamentary al
gebrasts
Given, 5000 miles of island coast with an unlimited
number OF creeks and nets; fifty slayers per annum
bent ON landing twenty five thousand slaves for which
they are to obtain clear profit of fifteen million dollars
being an average bonus of 600 dollars oGch captain
general and local authorities pccuniy interested in the
success of the ventures together with yellow fever rop
cal heat and dangerous navigation required to know
how many gunboats will be needed to watch the said
coast and to prevent the said fifty savers from landing
their cargoes and secondly how much money 1t will
take to pay for the experiment.
certaning the unknown quantities involved in the
above problem is to concede to British men-of-war
the right of searchat is, the right ''to board and
overhaul all suspicious suspected vessels found
about the Cuban coast. The Star seems to forget
that this mode of solution has already been tried
with what success the Star can tell We think the
problem can be solved by the Rule of Three" Let
England and France invite Spain, Holland, or some
other third power, to cooperate with them in their
gigantic scheme of African apprenticeship, and the
solution is at hand The only process required will
be to reduce the first three terms to the lowest de-
nomination. subtract the gun-boats, 1multply"
the negroes ad infniim, and the product will be the
number sought

THE IMPOLICY OF THE NEW YORK POLICE
TYRANNY CONFESSED

we have heretofore commented upon the tyranni-
cal enactments Of the New York republican legis-
lature, and especially with regard to the city police
bill. The Troy Times, recognised and strong repub
lican paper, makes the following frank statement in
recent NUMBER
9 For ourselves, have ever deemed the experiment
OF the Legislature in the matter of the local
OF our metropolitan city OF exceedingly doubtful char
aer IN reference to the policy and principles involved
OF the good results and tendencies sought be promoted
As precedent, under our system of popular govern
ment, the is decidedly Objectionable Il is in
defensble upon any sound basis acknowledged by us
Sincerely as we sympazc With the good citizens Of that
locality in their rghtul desires to be rid of the evils Of
INSTRUMENTATION with which they have been go onp
acted IL were far better, in humble Judgment To
have patiently relied the working of the repubcan
theory OF popular sovereignty for the ultimate redress
required and which Is always sure to come sooner or
later through the quiet and peaceful operation Of tbe
oot-Dox. Laws and systems for the government of a
people which are founded in policy of coercion against
the known sentiments Of manifest majority Of those To
be immediately affected by them have ever failed when
tried in this country and it is believed to be against tc
suggestions OF sagacous philosophy and
manship TO presume that such measures can ever use
prevail with the free inhabitants of any State town or
district in our American government
We have no doubt that the Times speaks the hon
est views OF large portion of the people of that
State and of the Union. The great democratic prin
cpe of selfgovernment through the ballot boxes
must be allowed full sway in every locality. or the
people will become restless and dissatisfied and
change their public agents

A FIRE IN 'FRONT.' AND REAR.

The subjoined telegraphic despatch was received
at too late hour for insertion in our issue of yes
terday morning:
''ST. LOUIS July 2l--Governor Walker was encamped
outside oawrence with eight companies of Dragons on
the 18th The citizens had decided not to negotiate with
him He will not resort to the support of the troops I'M
less fired upon, when civil will be declared GOV
Walker has warrants to arrest the city officers and other
citizens of Lawrence
While the southern press of the extreme school
are not sparng in their denunciations of Governor
Walker for alleged affiliations with the abolitionsts
of Kansas, and the abolition press of the Territory
are equally vigorous in their assaults upon the gov
ernor on the suppostion that he is slavery prop
agandist, find him earnestly engaged in the dis
charge of his delicate and responsible duties, and
proudly Indifferent to the double dangers of fire in
front and rear. Whether his movements at Lawrence
will be regarded by the extremists as fresh evidence
of ''treachery to the South" we know not +; but we
feel convinced that his present efforts to uphold the
laws of the Territory at all hazards will receive the
counenance and support of the entire democracy of
the Union, as well as the hearty approval of large
number of conservative men who still linger in the
ranks of the opposition.

KANSAS MATTERS.

The New York Tribune attempts to raise howl over

Governor Walker to put down incipient rebellion
against the laws We publish elsewhere snch inelli-
gence as has to hand on the subject Doubtless
the Tribune and its workers in agitation, whose
chances of political depend continuing the dis
turbances in Kansas would rejoice to get up another war;
such rent the Territory and distracted the public mind
last summer. But they will now fail in any such at
tempt Governor Walker will promptly repress this
break and restore and peace OF course
man expects the administration 70 do otherwise than to
the laws TO be enforced and to any vio
lent resistance which may be opposed to them Parties
who choose to raise the standard Of rebellion will com
mand little sympathy, in out of the Territory, among
men of practical wisdom and common sense. Mr. Blu
chanan and Governor Walker doing all in their power
to extend the State men, and all other residents of
the Territory fair play and equal Justice and all parties
ought to own @ attempt to Illustrate this honest
and temperate policy. OF course nothing but violent
