on hand at once three as important and really
difficult subjects to manage as the Kansas i'm
broglio, the Utah rebellion, and the entire alb
negation of the neutrality law in regions where
popular opinion is against its due execution.
The last mentioned is important, insomuch as
unless flibustering be checked, it must utterly
destroy our future commercial prospects with
Spanish American countries, which were fast
becoming hardly second in importance to the
future prospects of our trade with Europe; and
it will also afford most plausible ground
for the continuance Of Northern flibustering
against the constitutional rights of the South.
For, if it is proper for the South to snap its 6n
gers at law and the amity guarantees of treaties
to violate the rights Of other nations, it is equal
ly proper for the stronger section of the Confed-
eracy to modest the weaker section through
abolitionism, under pleas identical in principle
with those on which alone filibustering is at
tempted to be justified We are no believer in
their moral, as all the Stars readers know;
and therefore steadily set our face equally
against both sets of lawless disturbers of the
public peace. Nothing alarms US so much for
the future Of the harmony Of the Union, Is the
excuse for abolition efforts to subvert the con-
stitution, involved in the entire abnegation of
the law by the Southern lawless-the flibus-
tiers.
The Utah rebellion is also surely destined to
give infinite trouble to the Government. At
least ten thousand additional troops, we pre-
sumo, will be required to protect its rights in
the Territory, swelling the revenue necessary
for the public expenditures enormously ut n
time, too, when it is questionable with not a
few whether enough money will flow into the
Treasury without q resort to extraordinary
means to meet its (the Government ordinary
expenditures. The multitude of counsels in
Congress- and the fact that not few of them
will be directed to embarrass, rather than to
aid the Executive to solve the difficulty as
speedily as possible, (if but to bring the Demo
cratic party into odium,) will also tend to max Q
1t (the Utah question: one of perplexity and
serious difficulty to the Government.
AS for the Kansas question-thOugh it stands
in fairer position for harmonious and speedy
settlement than ever before-who that knows
Congress is not well aware that twill continue
to be a favorite subject for strenuous opposition
efforts to pull down the Democracy, and that a
single spark Gin connection with that question:
may again set fire to the combustible-infam-
mable-elements in the Democratic organiza-
ton itself, to end in greatly Increasing the
difficulty Of harmonious action in tho party
upon any and every thing
Indeed, there never was a time when to bear
and forbear was more plainly the duty Of all

Democratic organization. It's failure to dis
pose of either of these questions successfully
must tend to bring i; into popdar odium-to
strengthen the hands of its opponents in the
next Presidential election. Unfortunately, the
plumber mongers who profess to be of ito be
connected with the Democratic party-will
work all the mischief in their power in their ef-
forts to make combinations through which they
can fasten themselves on the Nationa! Treas
ury. What care they for the unity and har-
mony in the Democratic party even under cir
cumstances such as we describe above, when
their chance for securing treasury "plunder"
as they term it, is dependent on the amount
of discord and mischief generally, they may he
able to make? They know we'll that the Gov
eminent must necessarily set its face against
their schemes, and while protesting devotion to
it, will DO stabbing it on all hands, because in
its weakness lays their hope. We already see
them plainly engaged in the pursuit of this
policy Of theirs through the columns Of not a
few newspapers, wherein men VIGOROUSLY raw
enOus and unscrupulous after 'plunder" roll
up the whites of their eyes and protest the
purity and patriotism of their own labOrs, and
their intense horror Of the conduct of those
who, in the discharge Of public duties or trusts,
stand between them and the object Of their de-
sires-basins their alleged horror on cunning
ly concocted and vociferousy circulated SLAM
ders, Of course. Thus has it always been, and
thus will it ever be while human nature re-
mains the same. .. ,.-.. D.. ..
Notwithstanding the almost
entire failure Of the accumulated produce at
the West to come East, as wasexpected ere the
closing up for the season Of the usual channels
Of the transportation Of bulky and heavy
freight, the day Of general resumption is evil

sumed in the middle of the last week Boston
proclaims her Readiness to resume whenever
New York city says the word. New York city
had an aggregate Of perhaps twenty two mil
lions in the vaults of her banks on Saturday
afternoon last-more than ever before at one
time According to the New York Times, that
city is now merely awaiting arrangements to
be made by the New York country banks,
which cannot be postponed much beyond the
LIST of December, proximo. How their arrange
ments already made, and soon to be made, are
to affect the city banks favorably, will be un-
derstoOd from the following upon the subject,
which we take from the journal named above
'.The country hanks Of New ,rk begin TO-DAY
TO redeem their circulation daily in this CITY
through the Metropolitan Bank. This is done
by pre-arrangement with the city banks, which
have recently taken at par and reserved for future
presentation, unless Immediately called for by
the country, seven and a half millions country
bank notes. These notes are TO be forthwith as
