The New York TRIBUNE on THE Tar
IFF. - Last year when the Lecompton
Constitution was before Congress it was
carried through, though in a modified
form, by the sheer pressure of executive
influence exerted upon Northern men.
Then the President was all powerful. and
every man who ventured to differ from
him was at once accommodated from
the party. Under such circumstances
some leading Democrats were read out,
who, apparently, will not be allowed to
come back again without a debasemeut
which no self-respecting man could ever
consent to. Now q new question of great
importance is to be decided. The Treas
ury is empty and revenue must be provi-
ded for the expenses of the Government.
In this case, the President, instead Of
being omnipotent, is utterly powerless.
Instead of being rejected by half dozen
or dozen of the representatives Of his
party in Congress, his earliest recommen-
dstions are scorned and secuted by the
majority of them, and yet no anathemas are
Numbered against these recusants. The
Union writes long and passionate articles
to prove that they are no longer within
the fold of the party. They rebel, but
arc not punished for it.
The reason of this difference is, that
the rebellion of last year was, in fact,
against the dictation and usurpation Of
the few thousand owners of slaves, while
the rebellion of this year is against moth
ing but the interest and prosperity of the
millions of free laborers in the North.
The Democratic party, which will do ev-
erything and risk everything for the pro-
prietors of black chattels, will do nothing
for the benefit of the white men of the
Free States.

E They are having great time with
niggers, over in Holt County. A short

County, but was caught, and forthwith
sent to Southern market. Last week,
three fugitives were caught in Nebraska.
and lodged in the Oregon jail. One Of
them is the veritable Charley Fisher. Of

notice, that If the owners do not appear

will be sold at public suction.

both young men, and are said to posses,
talent and energy. We believe neither
one of them is q practical printer, and
neither has had any experience in his new
vocation, which they viii find to be 9
serious drawback in conducting a coun.
try newspaper, which can only attain 9
limited circulation; but as the people o.

disposition to literally patronize theil

One of the greatest American statesmen,
than whom no one living has performed a
more prominent and able part in the politi-
cal history of the country, has passed away
from our midst. On Saturday morning last,
Hon. Richard Rush, of this city, after lin
gering illness, in the full possession of all
his faculties, with the, calmness of a Chris
tian and the sage, yielded up his spirit to
his Maker, in the seventy-ninth year of his
age. 1t is unnecessary to recapitulate the
events of his long and useful public life,
which are already familiar to our readers
The son Of DR.. Benjamin Rush, who was n
member of the Continental Congress, and a
signer of the Declaration of independence,
he was called to many positions of high
public trust through the confidence of sue
cessive Administrations. Whether rs At
torney-General of the United States under
Mr.. Madison, or acting Secretary of State
and Minister to England under Mr.. Monroe,
as Secretary of State under the younger
Adams, or special agent to England to OBJ
tain the Smithsonian bequest under General
Jackson, or as Minister to France under
Mr.. Polk, he performed the duties entrusted
to him with signal ability, and with an eye
single to the interests of his country. His
private life was as pure and free from re-
proach as his public career was honorable
and distinguished. He outlived all personal
and political anlmOslties, and had the salts
faction, in his ripe old age, of knowing that
he enjoyed the reverence and affection of all
who knew Kim, and that he had established
a lasting claim to the universal gratitude of
his countrymen.-I'hiladelpki pkia. .Bulletin, LIST

BsA. There seems to be considerable
trouble in the Democratic camp in New
York. The old struggle between Hards
and Softs is being renewed with increased
bitterness and fury. The Softs have control
of the State organization-as Jesse ID.
Bright controls the party in this State-and
seem no wise disposed to give up any of
their power The IIards, with Fernando
Wood at their head, were fearful that the
Softs would have the delegates TO the
Charleston Convention selected at the next
State Convention, which, no doubt, will be
packed with anti-Admiuistration men. -
Wood is in favor of the delegates being ap-
pointed by the several districts which they
are TO represent. At the meeting on Tues
day last, Wood submitted to the Central
dress, urging that action be confined exclu-
sively to the nomination of State ticket,
and the construction of platform of policy,
leaving the yexed question of representation
at Charleston until after the October cleo
tion. 1t was confidently anticipated by the
Hards that compromise would be effected,
by which the whole question would at least
be left, without prejudice, to the determina-
tiOn Of the Convention when assembled
The Central Committee, however, TO the
great Indignation of the Hards contemptu-
OusIy rejected this proposition, and subse-
quently passed a resolution 10 call the State
Convention in Me usual 'ody, virtually requir-
ing it TO choose the Charleston delegates.-
1t is thought that split in the party is now
inevitable. -
