The Washington City correspondent q the New

triumph Of Douglas the administration, since 1t

II Ia = fact, notwithstanding the New York Herald
strenuousy advocated the election Of Col. Fremont
In 1856, that it is now. without any open avownl
or acknowledgment Of organising, the most influential
Buchanan journal in the mighty Empire State. At
the recent municipal election in the city Of New
York the Herald supported Mayor Wood, and came
very ecting him, despite the tremendous hostile
influences brought 70 bear. Mr.. McKeon, United
States District Attorney in New York, opposed Mayor
Woods election, and made himself unnecessarily
conspicuous in his opposition For this he has been
or will be removed by Mr. Buchanan, the President
being strong political and personal friend Of the
defeated Mayor, the latter having been the legiti-
mately nominated Democratic candidate. The heads
OF other Federal officials are expected to be chopped
of very soon, In consequence OF contumacy similar
to that exhibited by the District Attorney These
facts we particularxe in order to show that the train
Of connection and friendly feeling between the Presi
dent, Mayor Wood, and the latters especial month
piece, the Herald, Is harmonious and complete
throughout its entire length
The Iecompton Constitution will, in all human
probability, be brought before Congress- shortly after
the holiday season passes away. II will come up for
consideration slavery clause and all, II Tie nforma
ton regarding the late election in the Territory,
transmitted BY the telegraph, turns out reliable and
such must be adopted rejected, unless Southern
Representatives and Senators recreant to every
principle Of duty to their section, and reckless Of
every obligation they owe their constituents. They
must meet the issue like men-bold determined faith
ful public sersants-or else be branded as the Arnolds
OF the nineteenth century. They must not permit
any evasion or lodging, any Sinking or compro-
missing, but compel the Northern Senators and Rep
to plain, positive vote to whether
another slave State shall ever be admitted into the
Union not, and make the question Of the admission
Of Kansas the pivot the turning point Of the contro
versy, on the decision Of which the permanence Of
this Government is vitality involved. They win be
traitors and dastards II they fail in their duty in the
premises. In times like these, real manhood or its
moral cowardice, always shows itself.
That the administration will bring every influence
Ia its power to bear TO admit Kansas, Lecompton
Constitution and ALL with the proyiso that that in
strument shall be again submitted 10 the people for
ratification or rejection, we have no sort Of doubt.
We have watched the political signs Of the times
rather closely and to the experienced vision the ndi
cations papable that this is the scheme the
the wire-working, by which the Southern people are
10 be again hoodwinked and blinded, and the pre-
ponderatng Freesoil element Of the North pacied at
the same time. The game is transparent The South
loses, the North gins, as she always does and the
socalled Northern "Natonaln Democracy is strength
ened to plan and carry out new outrages upon South
err rights, interests and honor.
VIII the representatives of the people allow this
scheme of political deeedtion to be practiced upon
their eonstituentsl We shall see and if any Of
them are disposed to give the North the oyster and
award the South the she'll as has been usually the
mode Of distribution it shall not be fault If their
names are noF made universally familiar to the
people
