Re-Opening OF the ks"sas AEitation-PArty
Movements fur 1850.

The effect Of the late resolution of the House
of Representatives at Washington is not only
TO delay the settlement of the Kansas contro-
vcrsy but to reopen this senscless agitation,
which the law and order" conservatives of
oil sections ard parties had hoped was rapidly
drawing to a close The unsuspecting reader
however, is deceived If supposes that "popu-
lar sovereignty" and the rights of the MAORI
~ Of the legal voters Of Kansas were the ex-
elusive considerations Of the republicans and
fsby Northern democrats who voted for the
Harris Douglas resolution last Monday. Par
ties and party leaders. North and South. are
beginning to take their bearings and 20 plant
their stakes for the campaign Of 1860 and
thus Kansas continues to be. az she has been
from the beginning. the mere football Of
sobeming politicians and sectional parties and
cliques for the succession.
In this view the only material difference be-
tween this Kansas imbroclio as 1t now stands
aud as il stood three months ago is that the
principal arena Of the political gladators
is transferred from Lecompton TO Washing
'on. We suspect, too, that before tue
struggle Is ended the anti-,lascry agita,ors
Of Congress will resort to a policy of mastery
inactivity in the matter Of voting upon the
direct question of the Lecompton constitution,
similar to that which has served 20 well the
purposes of the free soil agitstors in Kansas.
Mr.. Seward has given us to understand that so
far az the democracy are concerned the result
will be the same--Lecompton or no Lecompton;
but he has also very broadly declared that the
adoption Of the Lecompton constitution will the
mos. speedily Of all things scatter the demoera-
cy tdethSwinds. The same idea, we know,
generally prevails in the republican camp; and
hence, when the Lecompton constitution is
brought to direct vote we shall not be sur
prised should it pass the House with the conni-
vance Of the republican leaders.
Mr. Seward understands the case. II is GER
tsinly, for their present necessities the game Of
his party to allow the Lecompton constitution
with slavery" as reported by the Lord Pro
tector" Calhoun, to pass, for by no other pro-
cess can the charge be established against the
administration democracy that their whole
Kansas policy, from first TO last, has been to
make Kansas q slave State. But with Kansas
admitted as slave State the thing is
fixed and so We would admonish Mr.
Senator Douglas that his expectations Of
swapping the Lecompton constitution may
be defeated though he may be able TO count
upon bis finger an absolute majority in the
House opposed 10 that constitution. As the
anti-slaycry party permitted il TO go by default
in Kansas, with slavery" it may be allowed
to slip through Congress in the same way, by
The same party, aud for the same purpose, very
much to the disgust Of Nr. Douglas and S as

INCOMPETENCE or CONTROLLER FIAGG.-The
investigation which has thus far been made into
the charges against Comptroller Flagg shows
that he is, and was, utterly incompetent for the
proper performance of the duties ofhis Office. IL
also shows that frauds Of the most extensive and
corrupt character were committed 10y officials
under him; and through his incapacity and igno-
rance Of the state of the books and accounts
of the department they were perpetrated with
perfect IMMUNITY. The charges which are now
under investigation are not new, however; SINH
lar charges were preferred against him two
years ago by Mr.. Olcott Rhines; but they were
treated at the time with indifference, and no in
vestigation was had. We republish them as
they were drawn up by Mr.. Rhines at the time,
for the purpose of showing the utter want of
order and regularity which prevailed in his
Office and the opportunities which were thus
afforded to the unprincipled for defrauding the
public.

DREAMING THE LrNEs.-Among other curious
things incident to the division of the House on
Mr.. Harris's proposition, we notice that several
of The New York delegation who once belonged
TO the barn burner, free soil soft section
of the party, to wit Mesrs. Cochrane,
Maclay. Kelly and Sickles, voted with
the Lecompton men, while Haskin, hard
went over to the republican side, and Clark,
also adamantine, lodged the vote altogether.
This is a curious political overturn and il shows
that consistency is growing jewel Of exceed
ing rarity.

THE TRANSITIONS IN PoLTIcAL GEOLOGY
Sir Charles Lycll tells us that the study of geo.
logy reveals ''the annals Of grand succession
Of past events-a series Of revolutions which
the solid exterior of the globe and its living in
habitants have experienced in times atecedent
to the creation of man." The same lessons
may he learned by the study Of the geology of
politics. We have the primary democratic, the
secondary Know Nothing and the cretaceous on
tertiary republican strata-precisely the same
formations which The geologists have given 20
the crust Of the earth. Modern discoveries
prove that the relative positions Of these strata
are constantly changing; that one aggregates
to itself PARTICLES Of matter belonging to the
other; and that this agglomeration, by transi-
ton. makes new stratum, composed OF parts
of the old formations.
This il precisely the change that is going
on in the political geology Of the
day. We find the primary democratic forma-
ton losing some PARTICLES by the aggregation
Of matter for the Know Nothing strata, which
soon fell to pieces. These detached fragments,
with still further subtraction from the pri-
mary formation. make the tertiary republican
stratum which IL Just now exerting magnetic
influence over both Of the other strata. Some
particles, like Douglas, George Bancroft, Wal.
ker Of Kansas, Wise, IIaskin. Harris Stanton
and their friends, have been detached from the
primary formation: they are Just now floating
about like crustacea among the rocks and sea
weed. seeking for place where they may hold
on. II Is quite certain that they have been so
far infected by the disintegrating effects of the
carbonic acid ambition that they have not only
been separated from their old stratum but
are unable to move those unimportant atoms in
the formation to which they are attracted
In politics, as in geology, there is no room
for distractions. We must have ascertained
facts visionary theories are of no value. SO
we shall see that these disintcgratcd particles
not being strong enough to make stratum of
their own, must naturally be attached to the
republican formation, and lose their individ-
uality in building up that conglomeration.

Political SurCrDEs.--The calendar of politi-
cal suicides for this year opens heavily. Mr..
Douglas heads the list next comes Governor
Walker, then Governor Wise, then Secretary
Stanton. then Broderick, then Haskin, then
Harris, and then long train of victims of more
or less political and personal consequence
They have died the death. Like Mr.. Webster
in the time of Captain Tyler, each of them will
soon ask, Where shall go?' The democracy
will cast them off altogether, and The opposition
has too many candidates for great and small
places TO give them anything whatever in the
event Of the success Of the republican party
So, whether cassie kill Rodergo or Roderigo
Casio, or both do kill each other, any way"
they can gain nothing. Politically they are as
dead az Mr.. Gibbons mummy.

THE SCHEMES OF CoRRpPr Corporation
SrECI LAroRs DEVELOPED is perhaps,
no city, either in the New or Old World whose
environs are so admirably adapted to the loca-
ton of villas and country seats as that portion
Of the island of New York which lies between
Manhattanville and Kingsbridge. 1t possesses
all that diversity of hill and dale without which
no scenery can be called beautiful, and is in
every other respect peculiarly fitted for the pur
poses to which we have referred. Those who
have visited London, Paris, or Florence must
have been struck with the exquisite beauty of
the cnvirons and the picturesque villas which
greet the eye and wanting which the scenery
would be deprived Of half its charms. All the
resources of art are employed for their embel-
lishment, and all the advantages presented by
the locality are improved to the highest degree
Of perfection. In the course of few years
more We might reasonably expect that New
York would not be inferior TO the European
cities in this particular feature possessing as it
does all the advantages that nature herself,
without the aid Of cultivation, can confer.
There il, however set of corrupt specula-
tors who, solely intent upon defrauding the
public and enriohing themselves, are endeavor-
ing to procure the passage Of law by which
the locality alluded to is TO be reduced to the
same dead, dull and painful uniformity as the
rest Of the island. The object of this Is. too
evident to escape detection. Their sole purpose
is TO swindle the public; and the means by
which they are TO accomplish the fraud is by
the levelling grading and total destruction OF
the most picturesque and beautiful part Of the
whole island. Having no soul themselves they
are ready TO commit any act Of vandalism, ir
they can only enrich Themselves by IT, A set
Of these insolent, scbcming and corrupt specu-
lators are, as we have said, cndeavoring TO pro-
cure the passage Of q law through which to de-
fraud the tax payers Of New York, and have in

ture asking for its enactment. This is the
usual mode of procedure when any great fraud
is to be pcrpctrated, and we advise the property
owners who have the interests of the city at
stake, and oil who would prevent the infection
of such an act Of vandalism, TO use every effort
in defeating the designs Of these corrupt corpo-
ration spcculators

FYlAbustex Alstoxy md Prospects.
Our readers will find in another column q
full and complete sketch of the several 6li-
buster expeditions from this country to Spanish
America, which has been compiled with great
care from the best sources of information.
II will not fail to strike every one on the Pc
rusal of this sketch, that all, or nearly all, of
these movements have originated in the coun-
tries where they were intended to operate, and
that the chief purposes of the parties were poll
teal in their character. Nina, Miranda, Porter,
Lopez, Quitman, Walker and Paez cannot be
looked upon as buccaneers freebOoters or pi-
rates, however conflicting their acts and opinions
may be with the interests of crowned heads and
despotic governments. How far their theories
conform to or dissent from wise public policy
it is not our purpose to inquire. When they
act in conjunction with majority
or part of the people Of any coun-
try for the purpose of effecting po-
ltical change for the better, they run
the risks which all revolutionists run, of be.
ing held by the world as patriots or rebels, as
they succeed or fail. In appealing to the right
of revolution, they of course come in conflict
with the established government of the country
to be revolutionized, and through that with the
international relations of our own, which are
always held with governments de .facto and not
de jme. The question, therefore. of the right
of revolution and assistance is delicate one.
But the sketch which we to-day publish will
throw light upon the general tone and tenden-
cy of the country. The filibuster movements
were at first few and far between; but they
have gone on increasing in magnitude and fire.
quency, until Europe has become alarmed at
their growth That they will diminish is not
in the nature Of things The rapidly recurring
revolutions in all Spanish America,s the, in
creased efforts of the church and European
agents to establish the old systems of despot-
ism there, the greater facility Of the liberals for
increase Of the party willing to grant il to them,
all indicate more movements of the same kind
at no very distant day. But they must be of a
different character and spirit from the filibus-
terisn developed by Walker in Central Ameri-
ca, if they would command any sympathy
among the peopie whom they 80 W assist'
and attain even partial success The only
thing that can prevent these movements is the
adoption OF new policy on the part Of our 60
vernment, and the lending of some support to
the establishment of permanent liberal go
vernment in Mexico. That is the quarter where
we now perceive the strongest indications of
movement and it behooves the administration
to watch the Developments there. If the libe-
raj party is driven out there will be flibuster
expeditions and revolution within six months

VII. SEWARD TROrTED OUT ~ THE CHEvA-
LlEK WEBS FOR lsS0-The re-openiug of the
Kansas agitation, in its transfer from Kansas to
Congress, has resulted already in bringing for
ward W. II. Seward AZ the "imperisl" candidate
of the North for the succession. Chevalier
Webb of the Courier and Enquirer, trots him out
upon the course with all the decorations of a
prize OK at an agricultural fair. Hear the Che
Waller, how he exalts his slippery idol as the
best piece of goods in the political market. The
Chevaler is speaking of Mr.. Stewards peculiar
and Imperial" observations On the army bill
and, says the enthusiastic Chevalier-
We annex Gov Stewards reply-a reply worthy Of the
and the place. ana OF the palmest days of the repub
demonstrating the whole American people that have
among one leading statesman at least who Is worthy
the place he holds In the affections Of the people aud
who dare be honest and independent, come what may
We cer with Governor Seward upon the property of his
But for caring thus TO vote and for having thus vim
dicaed his claims 70 act independently OF party and party
consider atoms honor him never honored him
before And such hope and believe will he the senti
ment of every honest m n in the United States.
That will do. 1t exceeds our most exaggera-
ted expectations of anything that could be said
in adulation of W. II. Seward. But the Cheva-
lier Webb has said it: and when he thus speaks
all his party subordinates must dance to the
music, as be doubtless wishes them to under,
stand. Mr. Seward ia in the Presidential field.
Look at him, and admire him. The Cheva-
lier Webb was fooled the last time at Phila-
delphia but he has resolved to be early
enough this time with his champion in the
ring And the lesser Ajax of the Daily
Times seconds the motion. Greeley is in
rather anxious and dubious state of mind. He
increasing the army but the Chevalier Webb
with the terrible Thurlow Weed in front, and
with the ''little villain" Of the Times to bring
up the rear, will be more than match for
Greeley. The Chevalier Webb has issued his
manifesto, and when he speaks obedience is the
word. Very true, as general rule, no
body minds him; but this time we suspect
he speaks with the full appreciation of the i'm
mortal Thurlow Weed. He speaks as a man
having authority; and his order is that all
other republican aspirants for the White House,
except Mr. Seward, must stand back. The
Chevaler Webb wants an imperial President,
and Seward is his man. There is treachert in
the camp, and some underhand plotting going
on, rely upon it.
But what say the friends of Fremont? Is he
to be shelved thus unceremoniously? And
what say the republicans of New England? Is
their favorite, Governor Banks, to be set aside
by the mere orders of Chevalier Webb. Now
is the time for the Fremont men and the Banks
men to give the Chevalier Webb piece Of their
mind. Is there only one leading statesman
alive, and is his name Seward? We should
really like to know.
