by so many petty motives of personal
jealousy. That they have met with no
success. When oily-mouthed, veaal asses
sors Of Tamnauy Hall or the Albany
Regency have presented themselves, with
their cash books, at the counting houses of our
moneyed men, asking for the smallest pecu-
mary favor" they have once in while rufiied
their feathers and showed signs of rebellion;
but they have ended their opposition by draw
ing check instead of asserting their rights,
and imagined that they were securing peace,
by catering to the unslakeable thirst and un-
satisfied cravings of gormandizers who only
laughed at their victims.
The only remedy for our municipal troubles
is in the State Legislature just converting at
Albany. Among its first measures should
be the adoption Of a new charter for the city of
New York, restoring to us government SINH
lar to the one we enjoyed thirty years ago.
Let Aldermen be elected as they aoere then, on one
general ticket for the aohole city. Let death blow
be struck at departmental decentralization and
corruption. Let the requisite securities be de-
manded from the chief magistrate OF the city
but let him be sufficiently powerful TO check
wrong, rebuke rowdyism and corruption, give
back security to life and property, and free us
from load Of iniquitous taxation, which
would justify revolution. There is a great
corps de reserve Of conservative, law abiding,
Industrious, honest citizens in this city,
whose strength, if properly exerted, would
be overwhelming. They constitute not
only the wealth and intelligence, but the
majority in the community. They are
paralyzed, however, by corruption which
has reduced them TO the choice between subms-
sion and vigilance committee. BY the aid of
the Legislature only, can they be raised to their
legitimate position, and enabled to rise like
spring tide and drown in the depths of deluge
the mercenary, selfish, feudal machinery Of beg
garsm and ruffianism which now monopolizes
power, place, influence, and patronage. A
healthy charter will be the signal for an imme
date rallying together of all that is respectable
and honest, and for the downfall of dynasty
of evil which is reducing us TO the lowest
depths Of degradation.

affair wsSch must be settled by Thuriow Weed.
Mr.. Bryan. the patriarch Of our poets Of "the
lake school," is the very man for the kingdom
of Italy-that beautiful land Of lsAss. noun
tains, old ruins, poets and poetry. Bs there,
also, are the fountain heads OF Che lsslan
Opera; and on this tack we are warned uhat
Mr. Bryant will have powerful rival for this
Italian mission in VIM. H. Fry, composer Of
operas. His operas, TO be sure, have not beca
appreciated here; but in Italy, as the produc-
tons of the Minister of the United States, they
might result in the happiest musical relations
between the two countries. We fear, how
ever, that the superior weight of meta is on the
side of the poet, who as politician, has run
ahead of his ticket.
But what is this latest despatch of om s from
Springfield? 1t announces the arrival Il ere Of
the Hon. Simon Cameron, accompanied by j.
z. Sanderson, of Pennsylvania. So, So We
must stick pin there. Gen. Cameron hasa evil
IDENTIFY taken the alarm. Is David Wilmot, Of
the Wlmot Proviso, to supersede him in the
councils of the new administration? Perhaps
not. Letus wait little. When Gen. Cameron,
offrom Washington to Springfield, he goes on
business. J. T. Sanderson, too. This must be
the Sanders0n who distinguished himself in
the service of the Prince of Wales on his late
American tour. Ifwe are right in this idea there
is avery deep meaning in this joint pilgrimage
of Cameron and Sanderson to Springfield, and
it may result in some very curious changes on
the slate Of the President elect
We submit our information in the premises
to the careful digestion of our readers. 1t 10
the latest and we dare say the most reliable,
news of the day from Springfield Our republi-
can journals are somewhat squeamish on this
subject of the organization of the new dynasty.
1t is delicate matter with them. Every one
of them is attached to some clique, and some
missionary with slate, and they all have
their axes to grind. Having no slate to look
after and no axe to grind, and not the least
hankering for the spoils of the Kitchen we can
afford to give the news from Springfield with
out drawbacks or reservations. Hence we are
in better position than their own journals to
inform the republican party Of the movements
on the political chessboard, even at Springfield.

ToLERATIoN-TH REMEDY FOR OUR TROu-
BIEs.-When the tyranny Of George the Third
drove the inhabitants of the old thirteen colo
MES to declare their independence, and consti-
tute this country the republic OF the United
States, who questioned the institution of slave
ry? Every State was then slave State, and
slave labor was universally appreciated. 1t
was only when, by reason of large and in
creasing immigration from Europe, white labor
became more cheap and abundant in the North
than black, that the Northern States sading it
Improbable to keep slavos, declared themselves
free.
But the South, however abundant white la
Dor might be, had no such option. Cotton can
only be successfully cultivated by African la
Dor, and slavery is essential to that The North,
having no cotton to cultivate and following
the example of England, could afford
to practise abolitionism; and gradually the
puritanical feeling in favor of negro emancipa-
ton gained ground, till the people of the free
States grew angry because their neighbors of
the South were not prepared to follow suit and
reap the consequent harvest Of ruin. If the
South had emancipated her slaves, what would
England have done to clothe herself, and where
would the prosperity of the North have been
now? 1t is to abolition advocates that we owe
all the bitterness, contention, loss and disrup-
ton which now agitate both sections of our
great community, and threaten to sweep away
the grand fabric Of our Union. And unity is
strength. All mankind have learned 10 look
upon this as one of the greatest and most
fourishing nations on the face Of the
earth. Our progress has been unex-
ampled in the history Of the world,
and our free institutions have elected the ad-
miraton of all who value the liberty given
them by their Creator. Yet. is this glorious
work to be broken in pieces by the mere force
of sectional opinion? Is the pride and boast of
all patriotic Americans to be irrevocably de-
stroyed because opposite feelings exist respect
ing slavery? Is there no spirit Of concession.
no natural forbearance, DO allowance for the
peculiar necessities of portion OF our fellow
men TO be found? If not, the case il indeed
hopeless.
1t was by concessions, forbearance and tole-
ration that the old religious wars which from
time to time afflicted Europe were checked.
For three hundred years there was no such
thing as federation there; but now we iind that
all the nations of the civilized world. and par
ticularly our own country tolerate all religious
sects. and allow them privileges in common. The
good effects Of this are everywhere visible.
The same influences as those which put an end
to the old religious wars are necessary to re-
.bo a., fbo md NJ tha
cause of peace and good will: and herein lies
the remedy for the evils which press upon as
and threaten our destruction.

proceed to Washington-put these sixty thou
sand men under command of Gen. Scott, TO pro-
tect the departments, and see that Mr.. Lincoln
be peaceably inaugurated on the 4th of March.
The fourteenth article of the eighth section of
the constitution gives Congress that power, in
defining IFS authority, in these words:-"To
provide for calling out the militia to execute
the laws Of the Union, suppress insurection,
and repel invasion"
And in the same act which gives this power
OF coercion, Congress should enact conclia-
tory measure by proposing an amendment to
the constitution, placing the social institution
of African slavery on precisely the same
footing with the religious opinions of
the whole people-or Congress should at
least eyince disposition friendly to
such measure. This was the spirit
stitution was adopted All the States recognized
slavery then, and the owners Of slaves could
take them into any and every State with per-
feet safety. No restriction of this kind of ser
vitude was provided for or thought Of in the
constitution. 1t is only within the last thirty
years that slavery has become great moral
aad religious question, and the agitation of it
religious propagandism. As such, it must be
settled in the same way as the great religious
wars OF Europe were finally adjusted, after
a calamitous experiment Of three cen
turtles that is, by mutual compromise and
Cancellation. And it is the present Congress
which must do this
BY embracing the double policy of coercion
and Cancellation, embodied in the same mea-
sure, as we have suggested, they will satisfy the
North that the new President will be permitted
to assume the reins Of government in peace,
and they will satisfy the South that the institu-
ton of slavery will be put upon just and Sc
cure footing, never hereafter to be disturbed
Nor will such course change the position Of
slavery at all. 1t will remain and probably
extend its limits in the South; but God and ma
ture have set an unalterable barrier to its ex-
tension in the North. There can be no doubt
that if the present do nothing policy is to con-
tinue in Washington, the Southern States will
be drawn, and rapidly too, into the vortex
with South Carolina, and that an attempt will
be made to prevent the Inauguration of Lin
coin and pull down the whole fabric of govern
ment. But with 10000 armed militia in Wash
ington, under the orders of General Scott, no
such attempt will be made; and with such
conciliatory measure proposed by Congress,
the South will have no cause for further exaspe-
ration, and no pretext for hostility. This is the
remedy for the present disastrous condition of
affairs, and if it is not adopted nothing can
avert the anarchy which is being precipitated
upon us.

In short, acted upon the most approved sys-

to the Generals orders. But this state Of
affairs could not last long. Constant labor
in sntrenchments, lying upon the damp

and hundreds of cases of measles in the
most aggravated form, was not enough; it
was thought that the power of endurance OF
the troops had not been taxed to its utmost;
it was tine chance for an experiment on q
magnificent scale, and a forced march of 40
miles at a notice of four hours, was ordered,
with express command to remove all t1e
sick and army stores our General well

Onthe Wrong Scent.

Our readers will recall the amusing descrip-
ton which the late John q. Stephens, the
traveller, gave of his efforts to find a certain
Central American government TO which he
Was accredited in some capacity. He ro7ed
through all the mountains, ran up all the
rivers tumbled over all the ruins before he
succeeded, If he did succeed, in finding the
vagrant authorities he sought. Gen. Sher-
man seems to have had some of the same
trouble in finding person TO whom be could
read his late proclamation, drawn up with
so much care for the benefit of the loyal
cause.
He sent an expedition first to Beaufort, and
afterwards further into the interior, to dis
cover the much needed audience; they beat
every bush; gazed round the corner OF every
cotton shed; peered into the closets; looked
sharply under the beds; and sailed hither
and ihither on all the creeks and inlets; but
no white man appeared TO read the procla-
mstion to or hear it read. At length, when
the party had penetrated far into the interior.
they caught sight OF the flying tails of a
clergymans coat, which they hardly over
took, and then met two officers Of the rebel
army, who appeared to behave them like
gentlemen in all respects, save that they
would not listen to the proclamation, while
they averred, as might have been expected,
that there was not soul in the State at all
curious as to the document. The expedition
therefore, carried IL back to its authors.
Gen, Sherman, we think, was on the wrong
tack. All 6he while that his men were 80
diligently seeking out loyalists there were
thousands OF them crowding the shores who
would have been very glad TO hear his speech

from the loyal forces, although their masters
threatened to shoot Them il they did Lot !;
Who had nothing TO fear from the arms ofthe
