Is THE CRY REDEEMED? According TO our
antidemocratic contemporaries, the election OF Mr..
IIaws as our city Comptroller Is one Of the greatest
and most bcneficent events Of the age. We have
our fears, notwithstanding that like the poor fox
in the fable, the driving away the old swarm Of
flies will only result in new swarm Of the
same sort, equally rapacious and with empticr
stomachs. But, as the proof Of The pudding il in

this new plum pudding Of the republicans. Let

Gently published in the Herald that while in
the Senate OF South Carolina resolutions
have been introduced and referred, declaring
all the laws of Congress for the suppression
OF the African slave trade as piracy null
and void, resolutions have been introduced
into the House "instructing the representatives
Of South Carolina in Congress to use all their
efforts to secure the repeal of all measures of the
general government restrictive of the slave trade,
the same being in derosation of the rights of the
South" AT the same time, ii appears Solth
Carolina grand jury, at Columbia have thrown
out the bills against the indicted parties Of the
African shaver Echo, proceeding which is
equivalent to the discharge of the prisoners The
meaning of all these proceedings taken together,
Legislative and judicial, is that so far is the Ari
can slave trade from being piracy it is good
and lawful branch of commerce, of which the
South has been robbed by the unconstitutional
interference of the federal government
The Southern failure upon the Kalsas ques-
ton, the late Northern elections, the infexi-
bic course of the administration against the
Walker flibustcrs, the threats of Seward con-
corning reconstruction Of the Supreme Court,
and his Rochester manifesto of general
war of determination against slavery, are
among the late events which have all, doubt
less, contributed to strengthen this African slave
trade movement in the Southern States. But
that there is anything more in it than counter
political agitation we cannot believe. There is
not the slightest prospect at least during the
present generation for the repeal of the existing
laws of Congress respecting this African traffic
The Southern movement in question, therefore,
is simply a political scheme set in motion by
frc-eating dcmagogues with whom, as with
Seward. continued sectional agitation is a mat
ter of life and death. If followed up however,
this slave trade experiment, instead of uniting
the South will divide her counsels distract her
general policy, and weaken her influence in the
general movements of sections and parties.
The true policy of the South is that so broadly
laid down in the Presidents message on the
slave trade question; and that policy of 'hands
of so ably indicated by Senator Hammond !;
and the good and true men of the South will
heed this sound advice, il they would not be led
astray. The tilibusters and fire eaters must
either surrender 10 the administration or go over
to the opposition. Let them take their choice.
The citadel of the administration is the only hope
Of the democratic party.

TIE UNION % THE OPPOSITION FtcrroSs.-
The Hon. Massa Greeley is actively exercised
concerning the great question Of the union of the
opposition factions for 1850. lie is not willing
to give up the republican organization, but is
ready for n compromise, such as a republican Cor
President and o South American for Vice Presi-
dent on the same ticket, and on free and easy
platform; or he will even consent to a Southern
man for President, provided he shall pledge him
self in advance 10 do all he can, If elected, to
prevent the extension Of slavery into the Terri
tories. From these disclosures we suspect that
the Tribune il really becoming suspicious that
Seward and his Rochester manifesto cannot be
carried, and will not be undertaken by the on
position, and that our free wool" contemporary
IL open to conviction upon the most accommo-
dating terms. But it Is yet too early in the sea-
son. perhaps, to enter into bargains aud cotapro-
misses Of any sort for 1860. At all events, the
heavy calendar Of new and practical issues, laid
before Congress in the PRESIDENT message, mi
tiates new order Of things new organization
of parties and new schedule for lsG0 on All
sides for which, 50 far as the opposition are con-
ctfacd, Oily some such Independent national
man as General Scott will bc competent aud
available Let us wait q week or two. Every
day now may disclose some ncv party land

has been unbinged by the message.

RECALL OF LORD NAI1ER-fRENCU INFLUENCES
AGAIN At WoRK.-The London Morning Post, in
announcing the withdrawal of Lord Napier at
tributes the motive off to an alleged leaning Of
his lordship towards the Monroe doctrine. This
assertion coming from Lord Palmerston's organ
would be subject to suspicion were it not cor
roborated by facts which have come to our
knowledge. For some time past the probability
of this event has been manifest to all who have
had opportunities of mingiDg with the members
of the French Legation at Washington. The
sneers AID the contemptuous illusions which
they have been in the habit Of throwing out in
reference to Lord Napier's efforts to court Yam
kee favor sufficiently indicated the feelings Of
jealousy which his lordships course had aroused.
1t required no great sagacity to perceive that
the eu picons thus exhibited would create alarm
in Paris, and lead if not to his lordship's re-
moval, at least to caution or reprimand. The
announcement which has Just reached us shows
that this anticipation has proved correct, and
that the Derby Cabinet have had the weakness
to wnhd aw one of their ablest diplomatic repre-
sentatves, out of a slavish Difference to French
policy and interests.
We do not pretend TO be sufficiently acquaut-
cd with Lord Naper's viewu to say whether his
opinions IN the Central American and other
questions involving the chance of foreign utter
vcntion on this continent go to the extent which
the statement OF the Post would seem to imply.
Taking, however, this statement in connection
with the mission OF Sir VIM. Gore Ouseley, and
A. a. of 7 ord rfu inst tba
ment when the proceedings OF the former dplo-
matist may lead to difficulties between the two
governments, we are justified in inferring that
there is some foundation for the assertion. From
the conciliatory course pursued by Lord Napier
since his arrival here, and the broad and liberal
views developed by him in his public as well Us
private intercourse with our citizens, we think
it highly probable that the democratic tendencies
of his family have found free expression
10 his dispatches home. There would be
nothing extraordinary in the fact that
practical and sagacous Minister of the
Napier stock should see, in the application Of the
Monroe doctrine, the realization Of a. important
benefits to his own country as to the United
States. II does not, we think, admit of question
that the commerce Of England would gain more
by the general enforcement Of this principle than
by the foolish endeavor TO maintain pretensions
which can only result in a heavy naval expendi-
ture, and the exclusion Of her manufactures from
the new centres Of industry certain to be created
by the spread Of American population. Mr.. Dis
rael himself did not hesitate to give free express
sion to the same opinion, aud il is curious evil
dence Of the revived ascendancy Of French in
lucnce in Downing street, to find Minister Of
Lord Napier's abilities recalle for rc-echoing in
his dispatches the sentiments expressed by one
Of the heads Of the Cabines which he represents.

on the common school system. The fact that tho
Scriptures bave not been read o. some TN, - -
few OF the schools has re-opened the question,
and thus it became an important issue at the
late election. The result shows that in all
probability, some version of the Bible--ether
X ue James or the Douay-will in future lie
,ad u all the schools OF the city, and it proves
still luther that the election of school officers is
une OF the most important duties hich dcvolves
upon voters. 1t is not alone the body Of School
tount sioners, or Board Of Education, as it Is
called, which exercises an influence Over our
school system, a. many suppose; on th contrary
it seems to be little more than Board of Super
visors to Ia, the bills The Trustees aud In
,pcctors in the different va DIS are the real
managers Of the schools They appoint the
teachers and direct the Cour of studies it is
they, and tley alone, who can keep the Bible
cut of the schools, or have it read there. Under
the school law, each ward rates as an indepen-
dent town in itself People will see the necessity
in future elections Of using some discrimination
in the selection Of these offcers The discussion
of the Bible question, in itself perhaps not
very vital one. will have good effect in direct
ing public attention to tho Importance of these
positions, which have hitherto been filed by
incompetent and unworthy persons.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE FuIBUsrEgs-We
learn by telegraph from Mobile that one
hundred and thirty-cight of the Walker
flibusters have left that port on the
coasting schooner Susan. That vessel at
tempted to depart without a clearance, on the
ground that she was bound on a coasting voyage
and did not need one. She was boarded by
boat from the revenue cutter McCleland and
stopped, and Collector Sanford asked for in
structions from Washington in the premises
In the meantime, however. the schooner slipped
off, taking away lieutenant of the revenue ser
vice who was on board.
The law cxempts masters of vessels licensed
for carrying on the coasting trade from deliver
ing manifcsts at the Custom House, either on
leaving or arriving at port, when bound from a
revenue district in one State to a revenue dis
trict in the same or an adjoining State. unless
there is laden on board the vessel certain speci-
fed amounts Of foreign goods; but the law de-
clares that he shall be provided with manifest,
~ him subscribed, Of the cargo on board, Of
whatever kind or nature, which shall be exhibit
ed by him for inspection by any officer OF the
revenue when required. Under these circum-
stances. the revenue officers had an evident right
TO stop the Susan and examine her manifest but
il is questionable whether the Collector had the
power to detain her. Walker has, therefore. got
Oh from Mobile with few men under this arti
flee. but If followed by revenue cutter, the
Susan may be overhaulcd and taken to some
port in the United States. This, however, il is
difficult TO do. and, moreover, the men can
easily be transferred at sea TO some other
vessel. The only course the government can
pursue legally is to watch for their arrival at
Nicaragua and send back a. prize any vessel
that has not her regular clearance.
