THE LA FARCE UNION MovEaENT.-It ap-
pears that at the meeting held at the La
Fargo House, in behalf of grand Union
demonstration in this city, like those of Phila-
delphia and Boston, there were such manifesto
tons Of softening and milk and water, that
Judge Bronson and some other national Union
democrats left the gathering satisfied that it
was no place for them. Old line wings, old line
Know Nothings, and new line Tammany Hall
men, and republicans, were very conspicuous
in the arrangement Of the programme. We
would simply submit that this scheme of mu-
tual admiration meeting of these fossils is not
the entertainment which the real national Union
men Of the city expect. The Independent ma
tional party supporting and electing Wood and
Bronson in our late election, are the men who
ought to control this proposed Union demon
stration, and they should be on hand at the ap-
pointed time to put in their claim. In the alb
sence of Mr.. Wood, Judge Bronson will be the
most proper man for President of this proposed
meeting, and his friends without distinction of
party, should insist upon the recognition of
his claims before the committee on the sub
ject and before the meeting itself Let us
have q real national Union meeting, and not the
farce of mutual admiration society of old po-
litical fossils and lame ducks.

SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE IN THE
NORTH AND IN THE SoUTH.-Major j. Egbert
Farnham. who was suspected Of completely in
landing the slaves from the yacht Wanderer at
Savannah, was arrested in this city on Friday,
by the United States authorities from Sayan-
nah, and was taken to that pla, M custody, by
the train yesterday afternoon.
There has been great deal said in the
North about the slave trade, and the sentiment
and practice of the South with reference to the
laws of Congress enacted for its suppression
yet it is fact worthy of some consideration
that, although several vessels suspected of be-
ing fitted out for the purpose of running off
slaves from the African coast have been seized
in Northern ports, in no case, except one, was
a conviction of the parties concerned pro-
cured; while in the only case of the kind oc-
curing in the South-that Of the Wanderer, in
1S5S-the yacht was confscated, and though
the authorities were not able to obtain con-
viction, the indicted party was not acquitted,
eight Of the jurors being for conviction and
four for acquittal- although the individual
on trial was prominent citizen Of a Southern
city.
Again, in the arrest of Major Farnham we
have the singular incident Of the United States
authorities pursuing him from Southern city
to this great Northern metropolis, arresting
| their prisoner and conveying him to a slave
State, to answer for the violation of the laws
affecting the slave trade. II appears that init
nation was received in Savannah that Major
Farnham was in New York; whereupon the
| United States Marshal there telegraphed to the
officials here to arrest him; but he could not be
found. The Southern officers then came on
after him, and succeeded, as we stated. in Sc
curing him. This is certainly remarkable &C.
currence. And there have been manv in
stances of like activity among the officials in
the South, where the institution Of slavery
exists, which is so much villified by Northern
agitators. In several cases vigorous prosecu-
tons have been set on foot against persons sus-
Ytcted of attempting to run slaves into South
,in ports. These facts, we think, go very fi
to show that conservative national sentiment
exists in the South, and an honest intention tc
carry out faithfully the laws of the land, even
when directed against that peculiar institution
which is made the subject Of so much bitter
denu2ciati?n N ether So. ions Of thc county.

WHO ARE Our SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS? The
new School Board is now elected, and il would
be we'll if we had critical history of the char
acier social positions and qualifications of the
individuals who compose it, These men, who
ever they are, will be entrusted with the educa-
tion Of our children; and in that single fact is
ample reason why they should be intelligent
and faithful, educated, of good moral character
and respectable standing in the community.
Are'they such men?
Heretofore the School Commissioners, in
stead Of attending to the education and moral
training Of the youth of the city, have applied
themselves to getting up all kinds of jobs,
whereby the money at their disposal may be
expended to the best advantage for themselves
or their friends. They spent a million and
half this year; they may spend two millions
next year. 1t weuld be well, then, for every
one who knows anything about the parties re-.
Gently elected to these Offices to send us an &C.
count of their personal histories, moral stand
ing, occupations and antecedents, in order that
we may know who they are and how our com.
mon schools are to be conducted for the en-.

WINTER SPORTS IN THE CENTRAL PARK.-The
sharp weather and the debris ola premonitory
snow storm naturally suggest those manly and
bracing open air sports which belong especial
ly to the winter season, and for which the Gen.
trail Park affords the most ample field. The ami
mated spectacle afforded last year by the
skating pond, upon which the young man just
upon the threshold of life, and the veteran who
had seen all its tolls and cares and troubles,
but had still place in his heart for the sports
of his youth, fair ladies and gallant gentlemen,
united in the most delightful, agreeable and
health-giving Of winter recreations. For the
present winter we have still finer prospects
The skating pond will be kept in the best or
der and the Commissioners will, undoubtedly,
improve upon last years arrangements SO far
as to provide seats for the spectators and con-
venient resting places for the skaters We
hear, too, that clubs are to be form
ed upon the Philadelphia model, which
is an exceedingly good one. We
are not all above acknowledging the
just claims of the Provincials, and when they
get an idea we are very glad to give them full
credit for it. So much for the skaters.
The opening Of the main drive in the Park
will give it an attraction for this winter over
and above that which it possessed last year.
The road avenue, four miles long, will make a
magnificent arena for the display Of fine sleigh
ing turn-outs, with all the agreeable and none
of the disagreeable things that attend snow
carnival in the rnetrnnotis With tha slyotin0
and the sleighing together, the Park will at
tract as many, if not more, visiters in the win
ter than in the summer

MOVEMENTS OF THE New YORK NATIONAL De-
CoNvENTIoN.-The National Democratic State
Committee elected Ivy the anti Albany Regen-
cy State Convention at Syracuse, will meet at
Albany this coming Tuesday (the 18th inst.),
al twelve O'Clock, for the purpose of peffecting
the organization in the several Congressional
districts, and for designating the time when
the national democracy of said districts shall
proceed to tie election Of their delegates to
the Charleston Convention in opposition to the
Regency delegation appointed il the lump at
Syracuse last September. Our late election for
Ma or has given to ernando Wood popular
endorsement which viii give to these district
delegates at Charleston a great advantage over
their rivals. In fact the defeat Of Wood in
the late election was regarded by Tammauy
Hall and by the Albany Regency as indispen-
sable, in view Of their absolute control of the
vote Of New York in the Charleston Convention
But the tables have been turned upon them,
and Wood as the representative of the national
democracy of this city and State is now fully
authorized to cooperate with them in the work
Of supplanting the niger worshippers of St.
Tammany and the Regency at Charleston. We
dare say, too that it will be done, and that
Dean Richmond, Peter Cagger and Confidence
Cassidy will, in the end find that they have
fallen very far short of their calculations.

JUDGE DOUGLAS AND THE ADMINISTRATION
According to the drift of the speeches of some
Of the Douglas Illinois delegation in the House,
to say nothing Of newspaper rumors from
Washington, Mr.. Douglas is really disposed to
fall back into the democratic fold of the admi.
nistration He is a sagacious man, and has
doubtless discovered that his return to the full
communion of the democratic church must be
by the same door through which he left it. He
has not abandoned his hopes Of the Charleston
Convention, and in this connection his evident
desire for a treaty Of peace with Mr.. Buchanan
is another proof Of the moral power and in
creasing strength Of the administration over the
universal democracy. few days hence, il is
understood Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas-both of
whom have lately suffered severely from sick
ness, and each Of whom j. still far from COM
plete restoraton-wiD leave for the genial
winter climate Of Florida: and we hope that to
each their visit may be attended by the hap
piest results. We expect yet to chronicle the
complete restoration of the "LittIe Giant" to
his former position in the democratic church.
and to hear that his naturally good physical
constitution is as fully re-established. OF Mrs.
|, Douglas it is hardly necessary to say that we,
in common with everybody, Of every party,
and Of every section, entertain an "irrepres-
sible" sympathy for the "Little Giant" on
her account, Notwithstanding his continued
pursuit Of that treacherous JACKIE lantern
called popular sovereignty" Lastly, we be-
lieve that return, politically, to that expe-
rienced party physician, Mr.. Buchanan, and a
winter visit to Florida or Havana, will be, poll
tically and physically, the very best treatment
that Mr.. Douglas could adopt to meet all the
necessities Of his case

FOREIGN BEGoARs IN THE UNITED STATES.
Not great while ago We called the attention
Of our readers to the numerous tricks to which
foreign mendicants resort, in order to get
money from those good people who are always
ready to pay for the happiness of seeing their
names in the papers. They will pass by cases
of real distress under their noses, in order to
assist in such hopeful work as the conversion of
the Irish to Professionalism, or the regeneration
of the royal family of Dahomey. A notable
instance was afforded of this weakness in the
way which Wall street came down for the Irish
Protestant missionaries who received the right
hand of fellowship from the Presbyterian orga-
nization in this city not long ago. The Church
man of last week exposes similar operation
which has been going on with regard to ''the
French Colony of Seeding Catholics at
Kankakee.' The G,urchman cautions the
faithful Of its denomination High Church
EpiscopaD against throwing away any more
money" upon these people. The story was
that people of the French colony, having se-
coded from Rome, were in the greatest dis
tress-in danger of starvation, and so on.
But the Chicago papers now state that it is
all "bold invention" to raise money in
the East. Indeed, it is more than limited that
the alleged secession from Romanism is also
fabrication.
We have little sympathy with people who
suffer themselves to be b!ed in this way; they
have been warned over and over again. The
special case cited above was the strongest of ALL
however, as the double argument of actual dis
tress for the necessaries of life and persecution
imposition which ought to be thoroughly ex-
posed and condemned by every press in the
land.
