GEN. CAss.

We observe that the venerable Secretary OF State
is reported TO have said, since the NewYork Elec-
lion. that he witnessed the beginning Of this Coy
eminent, and thinks, sometimes, he may witness
the end. We would willingly say or do something
to quiet the apprehensions OF Gen. Cass, but we
fear the attempt would be labor lost The General
is certainly no younger than be has been for several
years, ard il is not fair Therefore to suppose that
his constitutional timidity has abated His usual
condition is that of chronic al'sm. For some
years, while in the Senate he greatly aPPrehended
war with England. He said over and oye., ill i
became a byword, that war was inevitable"
But the war didn't come. About the same time, he
was u great WilmOt-Prcyiso man, and came to the
Senate one day with speech for it in his hat. H
did not deliver il; and wAen Reyerdy johnson
pressed him, in his place, 10 know why, the General
confessed that the South made such fuss, that he
MAS afraid 10 do it. He soon turned short corner
on that question, and has considered il disGnion
measure ever since. He was equally exercised IN
his mind when Mr. Clays Omnibus bill failed, and
he thought tie country was on the higA road to
ruin then. and only had his equanimity restored BY
the passage of the Compromise measures. In fact,
whenever anybody tails bag Mr.. Cas- i sure to

have great knack al frightening him. Their talk

the duties of an Office are such that any upright,
intelligent sensible citizen is competent to perform
fh,fn acceptably, we insist that making II IN
ordinately lucrative, as that Of Health Officer, or
Sheriff, or County Clerk, or Corporation Counsel
in this City is, tends directly and strongly to q

The Sheriff Of New-York is presumed TO make

one suppose that money will not be spent to secure
such prize, Cut il down to $4,000 per annum-
which is quite enough-snd serve other lucrative
offices the same way, and you will do very much to
limit and discourage the expenditure OF money In
elections.

Great Britain and in fact nearly everywhere but
here. We pay Inspectors of Customs S2l per
week, but subject them to interminabe contribu-
tions for the support of the party and to beng
kicked out whenever "the party loses an election
We propose thai they be paid Sl5 per week, pro-
tected from all party assessments or leSes and
kept in Office 70 long as they behave themselves.
So with those in kindred positions.
We have further suggestions to make on this
subject but let these suffice for to-day

THE ITALIAN CONFEDERATION.

The letter of the French Emperor to the King of
Sardinia If il is to be received as authentic throws
considerable light on what has hitherto remained
very obscure-the constitution OF the Italian Con-
federation, that iayorite scheme OF Napoleon Tor
indicating and maintaining the nationality OF Italy
According to the programme OF this letter, the Con-
federation would consist Of six members-fenetia,
Sardinia, Modena, Tuscany, the States OF the
Church, and Naples. A very strong objection might
at once arise OF the part of Sardinia TO having any
thing 10 do with such Confederation in the proba-
bility that on all cOntroyerted questions she would
be left in minority of one, all the other members
of the league being absoust and retrograde rather
than progressive in their policy. But to meet this
objection il is made part of the plan that all the
members shall adopt, in some shape, the idea oil u
representative body as an integral part of their
government, and that the delegates to the Federal
Diet shall be nominated by the Sovereign from
list of candidates previously agreed to by the local
assemblies.
A Ia this matter of local assemblies, the proposed
soyereigns of Modena and Tuscany might be ready
enough TO concede their introduction an essential
preliminary to their own elevation to power. The
Pope. possibly, under pressure of the withdrawal OF
the French garrison from Rome, might be induced
10 Weld something Of the same sort. But how this
representative system is to be introduced into
Vcueha, or into Naples unless, in case of the latter
by means of popular uprising, does not appear.
Moreover, the system of popular representation
which Napoleon would be in position to urge upon
others, would mol go far beyond that shadow of a
shade of popular assembly which exists in France
and ii might very well be doubted whether the par
tcipation of such body in the appointment OF the
Delegates TO the Federal Diet would very seriously
modiS Il character of that assembly.
Strong inducements, however, are held out to
Sardinia to come into this arrangement, not
merely in the offer of Parma as an addition to her
territories, but in the suggestion that Mantua and
Peschicra should become Federal fortresses, and
instead eff being garrisoned by Austrian troops,
.hould be held by forces of the Confederation. But
here again is point upon which Austria might
proye obstinate What sufficient motive could be
offered to her TO induce this surrender of fortresses
which, even after the victory of ScernO, Napoleon
did not venture TO attack
Whatever NAV be said in iayoroi this Coniedera-
ton. there are these serious obstacles in the way
of it, II is not desired either by the people or the
Soyereigns of Italy, but is pure creation of the
brain of Napoleon, who alone, so far as appears,
takes any interest in its establishment.

The Journal of Commerce quite misunderstands
us in surprising that we object to due share OF
uraise TO our naval officers on the African station
for what they have done toward the suppression OF
the slave-lrade. We shall ourselves bo always
ready to give that praise and we hope that, by The
Joint efforts of the American and British squadrons,
the slaye-trade on the African coast may receive
decisive check. 1t is well enough, however, while
concentrating ourselves on the activity OF our own
squadron, not unfairly TO deprecis,e the doings Of
the British vessels. e
AS to the different policy pursued by the British
cruisers toward vessels suspected OF beng tted out
for the saye-trade and vessels with slaves actually
on board, that is easily explained Until the cargo
of slaves is actually received board, the savers
keep their American papers, which AFFORD them
sufficient protection against British search. All
tie British vessels can do is to denounce them 10
the American cruisers. After putting to sea with
slaves on board, the slayers commonly have already
thrown their American papers overheard, ana are
then liable TO capture being destitute OF any ha
tional character Or If they still retain their pa
pers, they receive the choice from the British
cruiser of throwing them overheard and renouncing
their nationality, or of being handed over 10 the
first American cruiser that may be met the
British cruisers were governed, as Ihe journal %
Commerce seems TO imply, only by the expectation OF
prize money from the seizure of vessels with slaves
on board, the commander of the British steamer
Triton. instead OF putting the Portsmouth on the
track OF the Emily would have waited til abe got
her cargo on board, and then have pursued and
captured her.

The Hon. Joseph Howe of Nova-Scoha is named
as the probable successor OF Gov. Douglass in the
admin trat;ou of the Colony of British Columbia.
The appointment would not only do credit to the
eagacity OF Lord Pelmerston's government, but
would be in harmony with the precedent set up in
the appointment Of Mr. lincks as Governor OF Bar
BADGES. slr. Howe is one of the ablest public men
in all the colonial dependencies of England and no
one would excite greater confidence among tho
people of this country, who are waiting with some
anxiety to see what manner of person will be
charged with the duty of cooperating with Gen.
Scott in the settlement Of the San Juan difficulty.

MONEY IN ELRCTIONs.

TAs AibaRs argus has candid aud iorcible
leader on the use OF Money in Elections dePreoating

been carried, and insisting on radical reform. We
heartily second the motion, aud proceed 10 point

attained. These are;
l. A Constitutional provision making the exer-
eises OF the Right OF Suffrage obligatory on every
legal voter. A; present, while every roSdy' lester
arunkArd, BLACKBOARD, or gambler is certain to b.
found at the Pss, and often TO stay there al day,
large proportion OF our quiet thrifty, orderly law
abiding ciiiEens absent themselves, or only come
forward to vote at of high political excite
ment, or when some candidate is running IN whose
success they take special interest. This is wrong,
unpatriotic, penloas. The Right of Suffrage Is not
personal privilege but high public trust, to be
exercised for the good Of the community. Nc

that our reluctance TO publish the response from

founded on the terms of that response, and had

avoid publishing it simply because it would not in-
teres; the mass Of our readers, and we had no space

THIs STATE.

The County Canvassers met in their respective
Counties throughout the State yesterday, to count
the votes east at the recent election and to declare
the result. We present such returns as have
reached us by telegraph and otherwise. II will be
seen that as general rule, the official returns In
crease the reported majortes for Jones, and reduce
those for Leayenworth, so that according to the
figures received official and reported, Mr.. Jones is
now sos ahead. This majority is perhaps as likely
TO be increased us diminished by the official returns
vet to come ill., We judge by the returns for other
candidates that an error of one hundred has been
made in the vote of Niagara County, in favor of
Leayenworth. If co. Jones's majority should be
4Os instead of sos Mr. J. runs ahead OF his ticket,
and il is quite likely that with the exception of Mr.
Leayenworth, the entire Republican State ticket IS
elected. The following returns are corrected by
our latest adyices;

Among the names mentioned for the Republican
nomination for Corporation Counsel, that OF Mr.
E. DELAPIELD SMITH is worthy of particular con-
sideration. An industrious and capable lawyer, he
is man of the highest personal character. Should
he be elected to that important Office, we may be
sure of faithful performance of its duties, with
stern avoidance of everything Ike the disreputable
mems of making money by which dishonest IN
cumbeut can enrich himself at the public expense.
To put such man MS Mr. Smith in power is to
render real service to the community.

According 20 The Richmond Eaqrircr, the people
Of Virginia, so far from being in the least disposed
10 extend pardon to John Brown and his conied-
crates, are beginning to inquire "why they were
'Dot shot, like dogs at the moment OF their cap
''turel" The answer to that question Is not very
difficult. As If happened, Brown and his men were
not captured by the Virginia forces which had been
assembled at IIarper's Ferry. Those military gen.
tlemen modesty declined thst operation In favor OF
the United States marines sent from Washington.
The MARINES have not yet come up to the point oil
shooting prisoners in cold blood, or even IN not
blood, after all resistance il over. Ii the Virgin
iaus wished to have Brown and his companions
shot Ike dogs-dispatched on the fpot without
trial and without mercy--they should not have
waited for the marine. 20 make the capture. Nor
do the reasons urged by The Enquirer 10 favor OF
such summary proceedings seem quite concu-
siye. Suppose Brown was ga villainous pirate
"and assassin" it does not follow that " ne
"was therefore entitled 10 no trial Mt law, or
that be ought to have been hung at once, without
the Intervention Of Judge or jury. However re-
solved the good people Of Virginia may be to nave
The lives of their prisoners, they ought az least 10
be content to take them in decent aud orderly
manner. 1t was enough that Thompson was
dispatched after the method favored by The EH7r'-
rer. That journal, however, speaks under considc-
rablc excitement occasioned by the fact that papers
calling themselves conservative aud processing
special sympathy for The slaye-hoding interest,"
should have been among the first and most urgent IN
recommending Browns pardon. 1t looks upon TINS
recommendation on the part of those Journals as
mean and cowardly trucking to the abolition SEN
tment in fact as falling little short of an indirect
Endorsement ard approval of his proceedings.
