With Confidence Cagger, they have sold them

But the people themselves, assisted by an in
dependent journalism, have begun the reaction
against fsnaticism and political roguery. Their
eyes are beginning to be opened to the destruc-
tive tendencies of such political philosophers
as Lysander Spooner and Theodore Parker,
such politicians as William II. Seward and John
Brown, and such fanatics as Wendell Phillips
and William Lloyd Garrison. 1t is clearly
seen that these blind leaders aim to destroy
he fraternal commerce between the North and
the South, as they have succeeded in break
ing the fraternal ties of religious commu-
MON and party fellowship between them.
1t is clearly seen that the principles Of the
black republican party are utterly destructive
TO the constitution, which is now the only safe.
guard of our Union, our liberties, our peace,
our commerce, and our prosperity. The issue
comes home to every merchant every manu-
lacturer, every farmer, every banker,
every laborer or artisan, every miner,
and every shipowner. Whoever has a
material stake in the present, and who.
ever has sons to whom the future must be
preserved, has a direct interest in the coming
political issue. The people of New England,
with whom the sentiment of material evil is SO
quick, have perceived the danger, and have be-
gun the reaction against the mania of aboli-
ionism, which is destined to fall before the
rising conservatism of the country as have its
preceding manias Of anti-masonIy, tempe
rance Know Nothingism, and their kindred fall
lacies.

INvEsTIGATIoN.-Th Tribune comes out strong
against the investigation of the House Com
mittee of which Covode is chairman, and takes
great credit for its sense of justice in doing SO,
seeing that the persons against whom the in
quiry is aimed belong to the democratic party.
But Greeley has found this investigation to be
a two-edged sword, which cuts both ways, and
he fears that it may cut rather deeper into his
own party than any other. For instance, their
beautiful boy, Forney whom they have elected
Clerk of the House of Representatives., got
some $4,000 from New York to expend in the
Pennsylvania election in 1856. We have never
heard what became of it. Would it not be
matter of some interest to those who Subscribed
the money to find out? Tom Ford got 100000
to carry the Pennsylvania election, which he
did not carry. He spent eight or nine thou
sand dollars of it on the newspapers of that
State What has he done with the balance?
Let the Printer of the House and the Clerk of
the House be examined, and let Greeley be
subpnnaed to tell what he knows about those
matters, about which he feels as much tender
ness as man whose corns are trodden upon.
TIE BILL TO ABOLISH THE ALMsHOUsE De-
PARTMENT.-The bill to abolish the Almshouse
Department, with its Board of Ten Governors,
and substitute in its place Department of
Public Charities and Correction" under the
control of four Commissioners, has been re-
ported by the Senate Grinding Committee
The serious charges recently made against the
Ten Governors, and which Senator Robertson
the putative father of this bill, has repeated in
the Senate chamber on his own responsibility
if proven, would certainly warrant the aboli-
ton of the present Almshouse Department; but
we find that this bill gives the appointment OF
the four Commissioners provided for to the
Comptroller, their term of office to be ten
wears. This is but another effort of the repub-
licans in the Legislature to concentrate more
power and patronage in the hands of the re-
publican Comptroller, whom it seems to be
their desire to constitute the chief executive of
the city, instead of the Mayor. We are in favor
of the managers of the Almshouse Depart
ment, by whatever name they may be called,
whether Governors or Commissioners, being
appointed by some responsible authority, in
stead OF being elected by popular vote; but
we cannot conceive why the chief magistrate

OF all the Douglas strikers just at this time 10 no
other than the New York Tribxns 1t will be
remembered that both Mr.. Kellogg Of the House
OF Representatives, and the New York Courier
and Enquirer, have made 1t plain past peradven-
ture that Major General Horace Greedy was an
earnest advocate for the support Of Douglas by
the Republican party of Illinois in his Senatorial
contest, on the ground that that party had but to
support him to make him theirs forever. This.
Oreely does not deny; and that he continues to
regard douglas and his anti-slavery platform
with affection, 10 evident in the earnestness with
which the Tribune sustains his cause before the
charleston Convention, That journals object is
70 secure the ascendancy of anti-savery in the
General Government; and If 1t cannot get II there
through the election Of whoever the Chicago Con-
vention may nominate, it is perfectly willing to
get II there through the nomination of Douglas a.
Charleston, and the consequent abolitionizipp of
the Democratic party by Its own act and deed.
As one way Of making that abolition anchor-to-
wlndward stick, the Tribune is repeating and
apparently swearing to the truth Of the whoppers
about the alleged prospective strength of DOUGLAS
at Charleston, his partizans here are telling all
