IuR EXCISE COMMISSION.

Out of the ten thousand rumsellers in the City
and County of New York, during the year 1859, the
Commissioners of Excise, after meeting fifty times,
succeeded in inducing only 357 to take licenses and
of these we learn that between 30 and 49, after re-
ceyng their licenses left the county to whistle for
it's pay The excise law provides that all those
who sell liquor without license, or in any other
way violate the law, shall be proceeded against at
nee, and be brought to speedy trial, by the Dis
riot. Attorney. That fanctonary, however, did
OF seem disposed TO hurry up the prosecutions,
nd the Commissioners appointed one of their own
members to bring the delinqusnts 20 trial.
Through his instrunentality about 6,Ooo sait'

further resolved 10 hear argument on behalf of the
ProRsa law tomorrow, and 10 adhere TO the resolu-

mower in the Constitution for action on his part. He
v,bed to rase the question whether Congress should
NOT under the authority of the Constitution, pass what
ever law was necessary. He charged the Republican
marty with the responsibility of the John Brown nva-

of that party, and Mr. Douglas retortod, when The

baye got and hole everything II was pose.S 70 g'v'
them n aid Of Slavery. The real cause Of taeli
disturbance and thrests now s, that they fea- tha
some Of their conquests may be reclaimed By tho
States from which they have been made. They do
rot like tie threatening aspect Of political affairs.
The Republican party seems to them to bs growing
too strong. they do not want to lose power, aud
they do not want to lo,e place. Whatever visions
their ardent imaginatiobs have copjured up touch
irg the iprosd Of Brown, ard Helpers book, these
are not the real source of any substantial cousterns
ton among them. That grows out of something q
great deal more tangible. II grows out OF the
fear, as We have said, of losiDg power and losing
place, and also out Of the apprehension that the
Federal administration viii be pat back on its old
gourd of antsgoDism to the universal spread Of
Slavery.
Our present Dsunionists arc DisuniOnsts for this
cause and for nothing eIse. If they could DC
assured that things would remain in the Federal
Government just as they are to-day, We should not
hear sigh, nor groao. nor threat, from one
man in the whole crowd. They would be as well
content as litter of pigs in the straw. The repro
duction of the old Calhoun list of grievances BY Mr..
Mempipger is thus out Of place, and out Of date.
For since Mr. Calboun's time tho conqueats Of the
South have been enormous. What would that states
man have said if be had been told he would live to
see the Missouri Compromise repealed We can
imagine his eye frightening and his countenance
radiant as he should exclairn, "At last am ready
4" to sing my nunc dimihis."
But Dir. Memmin GERS budget is unrolled, and its
contents laid before the South, and the North He
asks Virginia to cll convention of the Slave
States. We shall see if che will do it, Perhaps |
che will, and perhaps she viii not. 1t is two
edged sword. Agood swearing, tearing convention,
it might be thought would frighten the North out
its boots, and prevent the election of Republican
President. On the other hand, there was Hart
ford Convent on once, and its memory was never |
sayory. But, One man may steal while another
must not look the hedge, is adage typical of
The South and North in mary things, indeed in most.
We are not certain then, about the proposed Con-
gention. Like Eugene Aram, we are equal to
either fortune.

C0NGRESS YRsTERDAY.

That great friend to what is called by courtesy
Popular Sovereignty, but which may be more truly
described as the right of one man 10 wrong another
Senator Douglas, made speech in Congress
Yesterday on his inquiry into the proprety of pass
ing bin to prevent one State from invading an
other, and for other purposes. The title of his
measure whatever it may be, viii be broad enough
to cover great variety of topics, we have no
d yubt His speech showed that the movers inten-
ton was to make what political capital he could
for the Charleston Convention in April; and to do
this il is necessary to propose measure very oiien
sye 10 the North. Thus Mr.. Douglas proposed TO
include in his bill clause making it criminal
offense to make any more Free States after the
manner in which Kansas was made free. He says
expressly in his speech that be wishes TO put down
all Kansas Aid Societies, and that 1t Is time laws
were made against them. This is one of the things
which this great advocate of popular rights s any
ious TO do BY his BILL He is in favor of the squatter
soyeregns keeping Slavery out of Territory if
they can; but, if they attempt to do it in any
efficient manner, he is for sending them to Pen-
Tertiary, or serving them as old John Brown was
served
Mr. DOuglas mas said he wants no Slave code,
and this has brought him the i'll will Of the South.
But instead of this, he now proposes what seems
intended to be much more efficient TO the same end
A Slave code only gives legal protection TO Slavery
in the Territories, and prevents the people there
from aboishng it, But aiming bill directly at
the heart of Free-State communities, to prevent
the initiation of measures 10 secure Freedom 10
districts which free emigrsnts propose to occupy,
is much more efficient method Of protecting
Slavery.
We cannot know till We have an opportunity Of
perisiDg Mr.. Douglass speech entire precisely his
aims, but the reports OF if which have reached Us
appear offensive in the extreme. II his measur,
has the scope it appears to have, he will have a
good time ip passing it, and better time still in
executing it. The execution of the Fugitive Slave
Law is not circumstance to what the execution o
that will be. If we rightly understand Mr.. Douglas
he wants, substantially, a Fugitive Slave Law 70

ventilated bis sentiments at length. He declared
for " eternal discord," dissolution, and other
novelties. This gentleman seems very DESTROYS to
extract the opinions Of Republicans on the question
Of the admission Of Save States. but when he got
from Mr.. Curtis response that did not suit him,
he appealed to somebody else to answer his ques-
ton. 1t seems to US that his course was only
triaiog with the subjects he discussed. We should
be clad TO ease Dir. Dpssdales mind on the point
that so hAlicts him, but We suppose we, too shoud
b. told we did not understand Republican doctrines
These DisuDion gentlemen, ii is very certain, do
not intend to be pleased or satisfied with anything
the Republicans can say or do; and we are very
clear in the opinion that is wholly superGuous for
Republicans to act as though those gentlemen were
capable of receiving favorable impression of their
conduct or character. ttf

copciliatory speech, after which the body adjourned

Of coarse, all sorts of rumors ere afoat in
Washington as to possible, and probable, and at
tempted coalitions between the Democrats and
South Americans, to elect Speaker. Among the
most trustworthy of these rumors, we regard the
statement thstthe South Americans insist thak IL
any such combination is formed, the candidate ehan
be taken from their ranks while, on the other
hand, considerable number of Democrats, espe-
cialy at the West, declare that they can never aid
in eleyating to the Chair a member of that party.
Moreover, it is confidently asserted that, under sny
contingency which may happen, a few South Aneri-
cans have said that thsy will not assist in placing in
the Chair an ultra Democrat. In word, it is
hourly being proved that all attempts to prevent
the friends of Mr. Sherman from organizing tho
House are matters Of sheer factisn.

The Board Of Supervisors had an interesting
meeting yesterday The Record Commissioners
having appealed from the decision of the Supreme
Court, denying them writ of mandsmus to COM
pei the Supervisors to pay them $4,000, the sum
of $500 was appropriated, to enable counsel to
contest the appeal. McSpedon & Baker, who got
$35, 900 from the county upon bond which it is
alleged is worthless, have sued the late President
and Committee on Annual Taxes for $50, 900 dam
ages, for preventing the Supervisors from raising by
tax the sum asked for by the Record Commissioners.
The Board assumed the defense Of the President
and Committee. A memorial to the Legislature,
praying that the Record Commission be abolished,
was adopted. In the glass ballot-box case, it was
announced that judgment of $4,000 had been
obtained against the city. TIE contract for 1000
glass ballot boxes, was made by Fernando Wood
and Gen. Nye, at SIS each, Mr.. Benjamin Wood
furnishing the contractor with the funds. The
Supervisors thought the price exorbtant refused to
pay, and the maker being examined, testified that
the boxes could be made for 50 apiece, at fair
profit. The Controller was requested to get the
judgment reepened 1t appears that the county is
