Political ABsURDrTrEs or THE DAY.-Of all
the cant and clap trap Of our Northern niger
worsbipping politicians, they are guilty Of
nothing 70 impudent and preposterous as their
ridiculous outcry against the "aggressions of
the slave oligarcby" and "the intolerant des-
potim Of the slave power" Look at the
facts At the present session OF Con.
gress hills will have been passed directly
admitting two new free States-Minnesota
and Oregon-and providing for the addition of
the third (Kansas) 10 the Northern side of the
ledger. Here, then, are three new free States,
and without the Offset Of single new slave
State, TO speak for the "aggressons" and the
intolerance" Of the "slave oligarchy" Do our
niger worshipping agitators suppose that there
Is neither the commonest intelligence nor par
ticle of common sense remaining among the
people of the North? One would think 80; or
why these impudent attempts TO keep up the
excitement against "the slave oligarchy,r when,
with nineteen States against fifteen, and with
several embryo States behind, the people Of the
North have all the power Of the government in
their hands Sensible men, with these facts be-
fore them, can only be disguised with this effron.
terry, which would attempt TO frighten them with
this senseless hue and cry Of fools and fanatics
against the "aggre@ions of the slave oil
garchy."

ADVERTISING LorTERrEs--Is RI LEGAL OR Nor?
Should not the Mayor and his squad be in
dicted for advertising the Georgia lotteries :
They have certainly given to them far wider
publicity than they have ever lad before, or
which they could have obtained BY any other
means, and the effect will doubtless be great
increase In the sale OF tickets and correspond
ing profit to the lottery men. But before in.

whether, under the constitution Of the United
States, any action of the kind could be sustained

City and Save o~r Pockets.
The taxpayers of this plundered city should
remember that nine millions . year in taxes are
extorted from their property, and that nearly
four millions of this sum are deliberately stolen
through the wretched and utterly corrupt system
Of our city government BY proper manage
ment the city could be better governed than it
is now for five millona In fact. it is not govern
ed at all at the present time. We get no return
for the immense outlay; our streets are filthy
and pestiferous; our suburban roads are unfit
for use; our police system is 30 villsnous that
neither life nor property is protected; fraud
and corruption reign unchecked in our public
Offices. And to maintain this system we are
more heavily taxed in proportion to our popula-
ton and property than any city in the world.
The taxpayers should remember, ALSO that we
owe all this Encouragement and rascality to
the fact that the officers of the city government
are politicians-are elected by combination of
rowdies and vagabonds, and gamblers and
fighters. who own no property and pay no taxes,
whom they use for that purpose, because the
property owners, who have an interest in the
good and cheap government of the city, have
neglected to take any part in the elections or
to unite against this infamous political comb
nation.
All parties who have had the city government
In their hands-whigs, Know Nothings, black re-
publicans and democrats slike-have been equal
ly corrupt. We will not say that any individual
officer of the Corporation is corrupt, because we
might be indicted for libel. They may be all
as honest and as pure a. Mr.. Busted; but we
will say that the whole system is Hagrantly
wicked and abomnable.
Yet there is an easy remedy; and thst is by
the organization Of an Independent party, dis
connected with all factions and cliques; by
the taxpayers combining against the present
mode Of nominating and electing officers and
putting faithful men at the head of all the
departments
There are, rs appears BY the tax book, 29,745
resident taxpayers in the city, besides all the
corporations banks, insurance companies, and
80 forth, which number several hundred, and of
course are represented by some thousands of
individuAls-so that fifty thousand In about q
fair number TO put down for the taxpayers
generally. The property they represent
amounts to $50, 600, 900, and some of them are
taxed a. high as $4,000 . year. Let us emu
merate few of them -

Sumner, the Massachusetts, Senator, who
is somewhat distinguished for the vio-.
lence of his anti slavery opinions, has
sailed again for Europe, leaving only his
empty chair to represent half his State in the
Senate. Without doubt the empty chair will
be quite as eloquent in the cause as its owner.
At least it will be civil, and refrain from using
violent language to stir up the chivalry of South
Carolina. How the people of Massachusetts,
will like to be represented by an empty chair is

to do the work they must strike at the roots of
the diseased tree. The democratic party, the
republican party, the Know Nothing
party, have all become too deeply cor
rupted and demoralized by confederate

longer. A new system of government can only
be enforced through the medium of q new and

men to organize such party. They have the
wealth, they have the men, they have all the
needful resources for the organization of an all
powerful party, and they can, If they will, Or
ganize q party of this sort without the slight

movement. Is it nothing to our taxpayers that
the city's collections from their pockets should
be cut down from ten millions to FIVE or six mil

q little meeting will put the ball in motion, and
any respectable citizen in such q case can at
least organize q little meeting to break the

There is one course palpable and evident to
us, which we hope he will adopt, aud which will
place the friendly relations Of the two countries
upon permanent footing. Let him make
every honorable amend to the government of
the Uoitd States for the malicious course of
Palmerstou towards US; and then, turning to
Spain, make the immediate stopping of the slave
trade in her tyrannically and despetically 60
verped colony of Cuba the only alternative Of
Immediate war. By this latter step he will
draw the fangs of the fanatical Evangelists of
Exeter Hall, drive the slave trade from tho
ocean, sink into oblivion all pretext to exercise
The right of search over our ships, make the
slavery question one of purely local and domestic
policy everywhere, remove forever all pretence
for International interference in regard to 1t,
and destroy the only irritating points of dife-
renee that now exist between America and
