NEW YORK, April 8, 1858 10, p. m

The new part" the g national party - in which
Giddings aboitonsm, Baltimore plug uglysm and Sew
ard repubcanism bacl to blend and cooperate to
obtain perfect regeneration of all the men, and rad
cal reform of all the things in the Unon is subject
of curiosity will not say of interest at the pres
ent moment. The New York Times has Swallowed
forth the programme OF this great party and, though
its has not been discovered is it very clear that
Giddngs will fratenize with the plug uglies although
he has voted for slavery constitutional nor Seward with
Crittenden all anxious to ascertain how the in
congruos particles to be blended and how the lead
ership and subordinate offices to be filled Seward
and Crittenden will never give way for Douglas and
do not why they should and Douglas will be sorey
disappointed he BIC not rewarded for his abandonment
Of the democratic party by leave to play first fiddle in
the new political orchestra If he is not there Is
doubt that the few little brokers in politics who consti
tute that pitiable band called " Douglas democrats
will be sorey gricyed il they are excluded AS far as
have opportunity Of Judging can no brighter
prospect for those gentlemen than indignant
domination Of their treason by their constituents and
friends and contemptuou3 refusal to associate with
them from those whose dirty work they have con
sented to perform. In the OF the Douglas dem
ocrat from Wcstchester county, it remarked, with
an emphatic sneer, by distinguished and influential
member of the republican party from that county We
have used Mr. --- and taken advantage of his
treason but we none the less espise the traitor and re-
fuse companionship with him The honest democrats
repudiae him In far stronger language What, them is
to become of the poor Douglas democrats Our State
legislature ia grinding through bills at railroad pace.
The black republican measure to enact registry law
defeated to-day when it brought up for final read
ing The Broadway railroad bill which passed the honse
aud has been referred to committee Of the senate, will
be considered tomorrow, and parties opposed to the
measure will be heard 1t believed that it will be lost
and the general hope in this city is that it may, because
it would do great deal of harm without cecting any
Of the good things promised by its projectors The
passage by the house of the bill egaizng sales Of stock
time s generally approved and 1t is hoped that the
bill will become law 1t would tend to prevent
undue speculation and stock gambling than all the arb
trary enactmcns that the last State legislature
could have passed, Recorder Barnard have suggested
1t is thought that the learned recorder had better stick to
what he understands His recommendations with re-
gard rowdies shyses and the other bad characters
by which we overrun, approved and applaudcd
all hands but his penal laws for stock operations
as generally laughed at and condemned.
The Of Mr.. Charles Turner of the street commits
sioners department. charged with stealing public docu
ments, has been heard again to-day, but decision
come to- The accused seems think that he is the vic
tim of the mayors and Richard Busteed particular ami
mostly.
The inquest in the Of young Samues whose body
picked up in the East river this day week has been
adjourned till Monday by Coroner Connory, of Burde
murder noto,ety enable the police to make searching
inquiries which may explain the horrible mystery in
which the affair senveoped So far as the investigation
has gone there has not been duced title of evidence
which warrant the formation of opinion to the
of the murder the person persons by whom
it was committed.
The affair has caused and is causing a great sensation
4
result in discovering the perpetrators Of the foul murder
Crime and vany Of every degree frequent
in this city and in Brooklyn and committed with
much boiness and impunity that fear the murder Of
Samues like that of DR. Burel will continue mystery
which the Albany made police will be unable or unwil
ling to solve Aprqos Of the policeit is rumored
that Governor King has nominated James Bowen Ja,s
s. T. Stranahan, and Thomas B. Stman as police com
mssiones. The first two reappointcd and the last
to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation Of Mr. C,ol
well 1t is needless TO remark that the three commission
ers orthodox black republicans in good standing
with the representative of the "blood Of the Kings
and bound TO make the police their political pur-
poses. The first duty of policeman is to be good
black republican; his second to catch thieves and
deren His faithful performance of the former will
cuse his total neglect of the latter.
