might BY his presence recall to the English MINI
the ardent reception given to Hsynau at BsscAya
Perkins, brewery.

Even The Herald admits that the sugaa.sO,, =.
the joint Committee at Albany on the Dred SDo,,
case as to the reorganization OF the Supreme Co..,
Of the United States according 10 the ratio Of NJ,
ulation, is perfectly legitimate political l,s.
A. the same time, an attempt is made to d,paa,,
the bill reported BY that Committee as in eonar,
with the Federal Constitution. The purpOrt d
that bill is to prevent slaves being brought into "a,
State or held in il by any voluntary act on the p.
OF the master-in fact, but mere declaratory Goa.
hrmation OF the law as il at present exists eIceo,
in the addition OF penalties. The Herald thinks !,
terrible hardship that citizen Of South CsroGD,
coming within our borders, and bringing O SIAN
with him, should do it at the hazard Of lo,0,
his servant and Of being himself sent "A
TO the State prison. Any such complaint, however
would come with very i'll grace from South Carr.
lima mouth Let citizen of New.York travel into
either North or South Carolina attended by hi. eoI.
ored servant and not only does he run the risk Of
losing his servant, but the servant himself instead
of being set at liberty as with u.s. is exposed to in
prisonment and in case at the end Of that impr,.
onment he is not able to pay heavy bid for beard
and jail.fees, Is liable to be sold into perpetual
slavery. The bill reported by the Joint Committee
at Albany does not propose TO punish anybody
for merely bringing slave into the State. Any
master is at full liberty to do that. The crime to
be punished is the attempting 10 hold as slave tie
man who, by being brought into the State, has been
made free man. The proposed act is Of precisely
the same nature with the existing law against KID
mapping, and is intended "a further security 10
our free coored residents against acts Of violence
and coercion, which kdnappers might feel them
selves encouraged TO attempt by the extraordinary
slayeholding dicta put forth as law by the five
shareholders in the bred Scott case.
Equally unfounded is the fling of The Herald a
the Committee for not proposing to remove tue
property qualification by which a distinction Is
established iu this State between white and
colored voters. That subject had already been be.
fore the Legislature, and had been put in a iai
train to be set right When that question Gomez
before the people, as it shortly will, We hope 10
find The Herald still an advocate for the doctrius
that all men are equal.
In conclusion let us ask, can it be reasonablyM
pected, when majority Of the Judges Of the Sa
preme Court turn Pro-Slayery agitators and props-
gandsts, that the partisans of free labor, Of tho
rights of man, irrespective of color, should remain
0uiescent!

New.Y and Brooklyn-the five not to hold DINER
offces nor to be candidates therefor. The ROUGE
District embraces the four Counties OF New iorh'
Westche.ter. Kings and Richmond The ponce Is
to be recognized upon such qualifications as wiz
retain and secure good men; process may Dc Ser'
all over the State, without stopping to get warra"''
backed BY magistrates; system OF regular P'o'
motion is established; very stringent anu
gambling section is enacted authorizing iorcioic
entry and summary arrest where there Is reasohaoie
presumptiye evidence that gambling is carried on;
the police made auxiliary in preserving the pup
lie health; no liquor is to be sold on SUNDAYS Ut
election days under penalty of $50; pension
fund for disabled policemen is established ana pro-
vision made for their families. The money 10 pa!
the force is in the hands Of the Stat" ana cahho'
be manipulated by Common Councils or super
yisors. There are no radical changes from the
present police ~ stem, but simply additions and eN-
tensions Of power. The great ,eature 10 mat con-
tended for by Mayor Wood-the removal OF the
police from the control Of elective officers or those
who may be candidates for Office.
The Supervisors bill is not before u.s. but we
the Board and places some other restrictions IN
the way Of party abuses. The Assessment bill aooi-
ishcs Ward Assessors, many OF whom are mere
party hacks entirely unfit for the duty, and creates
permanent board Of experienced men who shaii
perform oil assessments This will equalze yallla-
tons, and avoid the frequent anomalyof lots OF
equal value on opposite sides of street put down
No
believe these men also assess for improvements
A large saving will result to the Treasury, and
much satisfaction to taxpayers if this law has its
legitimate effect.
The canvassing of votes We have recently eX-
planned. 1t is to be done by men who are not
inspectors, who know nothing of the Run Of the
poll and are not worn out with fatigue The
IarbOr bill establishes pier lines on both sides the
city and puts and end to the sale of water fronts
beyond that line by the jObbng members OF the
Common Council The Port Wardens bill provides
for the preservation Of the harbor and docks from
filling up, and regulates the Occupation of piers
and Wharycs. The Central Park bill places that
noble undertaking in the hands Of seven gentlemen
who cannot but take pride in the great work placed
in their charge. The money is beyond the reach
Of candidates for Office and will not BE- used to
make Mayors and Aldermen.
This is brief summary Of 1.-the New-iorh
bills" Whether the City will reap benefit there
from WILL after all, chiefly depend upon the voters
themselves If they will elect capable and honest
men, the desired reform will be achieved speedily
and easily. If they select knayes and Doors the
best efforts Of the true friends of good government
will be seriously nterfered with, if not rendered
altogether frutless.

A certain weekly paper which boasts that It has
large and rapidly increasing circulation, and
which has plastered all the dead walls Of this city
with placards mOdestly announcing that 1t is con-
Quoted with " taste, tact and talent" aud which,
furthermore, while protesting political neutrality,
has perpetrated the most fulsome and ndlscrlm
mate laudatons Of Mr.. Buchanan aud his Cabinet
has reached the lowest depth of funkeylsm, by
recommending the President to send Stephen A.
Douglas as Minister TO England This astounding
nomination is accompanied by the usual unmean-
ing and Stereotyped compliments, and the states
manship and patriotism of Douglas duly set
forth. We who believe that he has very little Of
either and who hold the character of the man in a
contempt not easily expressed do not, Of course,
regard such proposition with competency But
our opinion is of little consequence. Unfortunate
w. it happens that the paper TO which We allude has
grossly insuted the feelings and outraged the judy
ment aud discarded the views OF millions OF the
best and purest citizens of this country; and this
curious escapade thus becomes of some eonse-
quence.
We have been VIGOROUSLY unfortunate in our
duelists, blachguards and intrguers; but OF those
men who in the early days Of the Republic repre-
sented il abroad, there have been but few nj sue

MONDAY. APRIL Is, 1857.

A dispatch from our correspondent at Lecomp-
ton gives some further insight into the means
whereby the ensayement of Kansas is to be con-
summated. Charles Robinson and George w.
Dietzler, Governor and Secretary of State Of Kan
sas under the FrceState Constitution, appeared at
Lecompton on the 9th inst as their bail-bonds re-
quired, to stand trial on the charge of High Trea-
son involved i'll accepting those Offices, but were
put off till next month, on account of certain
changes in the laws effected by the bogus Legisla-
urc at its late session. AS they to be tried by
Leccmpte, before Jury of his choice they may
possibly be convicted.
The Census lists were by bogus law to be posted
BY this time, but have not been. No poll is to be
held in Lawrence, containing nearly half the popu
lation Of Douglas County; but four polls to be
held in 50 many obscure hamlets A Pro-Savery
Postmaster has just been appointed for Lawrence
where the people are at least fifty Free-State to
one PrO-Slavery.
