HIS FIRST OppoRruNITy.-Mr. Fillmore's
acting as president Of the Louisville Conven-
ton is the first occasion of his appearance
before the public this long while, aud he seized
it to make an explanation of his relation to the
Fugitive Slave law. He declares that he
knew the signing of that law would be his
political death warrant, but he signed 1t
because 1t was made according to the consti-
tuition, and his view Of duty left no option.
We hope this matter has not been troubling
the old gentleman's conscience all these years.
Two-thirds of the people who read what he
said will learn there for the first time who
signed that law, and will not regard it as OF
the least importance even then.

BuNsBY IN OFFIoE.-The Solicitor OF the
Treasury ''has not prepared his opinion on
harbor fees, but has made it public in its unpre-
pared condition, so that the public may Judge
what an astonishing thing It will be when II
comes fully forth. He doubts whether the
Secretary of the Treasury can prevent col
lectors acting as State agents; but as nobody
asks for such prevention, the doubt is not
important. He does not believe that collectors
can withhold papers on which all federal dues
are paid, and as that is the very point that
shipmasters wish to establish he need go no
further, but just instruct collectors to that
effect

The course Of politics, like the course Of
true love, never runs smooth. The Tammany
Regency never knew more of the truth
of the application Of the words of the poet
with regard TO the course of true love than it
now does with regard to its own course through
the rugged ways Of politics on the eve Of
an election. 1t is only, however, when
the time arrives for opening the polls at an
election that the Tammany current begins to
be fretted and disturbed by Instructions in its
way and to give the managers of the craft
some trouble in navigating it. After the
election difficulty is passed over all is smooth
sailing for a considerable distance ahead.
The November and December elections are
now standing in the way of Tammany's usual
quiet progress in running the political machine
called our city government. The opposing
elements are more inside than outside its own
organization, and to certain extent the
danger is the greater, just as the Mississippi
craft is more likely to be struck and sunk by
an unseen snag in the river bed than by any out
side influences Of storm or tempest. The Sena-

the most uneasiness to the powers that be, for
the reason that not only the post sought for by
the respective candidates is the most important
for the time being to the Tammany interest,
but also because the parties seeking the nomi-
nation are Individually powerful and capable Of
turning their arms effectively against the great
chief Of the Wigwam should his nominations
not give entire satisfaction. The chief offices
to be voted for by the people in November,
besides the vacancies on the State ticket,
ing the Supreme, Superior, Common Pleas,
Marine, Surrogates and Recorders Courts
The candidates for these are many, and the
interests by which their availability is to be
judged complicated and intricate. For the
Senatorial and Assembly vacancies, particu-
iarly, there are more than the usual amount
of claimants in the Tammany interest, while
for other Offices at the disposal of Tammany in
December next there is already big fight
going on.
The republican and outside democratic
organizations have not yet completed their
list Of candidates. In few days, however,
all the states will be made out when the great
struggle will open. The interests involved
cannot give to our election in November any
thing like the Importance that attached to the
elections held on Tuesday last In Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, and yet, with the results of
those elections before the people, some signi-
fcance may fairly be deduced from it. Until
the various parties have put themselves in
position for the contest-each presenting a
bold front on the basis Of their respective
lists Of candidates for the SURFACES of the
people-little further than conjecture can be
INDUCED in as to the result.

The stubborn struggle that the reyolted
Spanish people have made s-d are still making
in several of the provinces indicates that the
real revolution-the real movement Of the
people to cast away tyrannical domination
has at last broken out No doubt the fact that
this movement was just beneath the surface
was Of great assistance to the oligarchs of the
army and the navy whom they drove out the
Bourbon dynasty. No doubt, also, o great
part Of the power Of those men before the
country was derived from the suppostion that
they were ready to identify themselves with
the will and purpose Of the people In their
aspiration to be free. But the nation has finally
discovered that Prim, Serrano and the rest
only desired to change places with the persons
that surrounded the Bourbon throne, and now
it addresses itself to the labor of driving them
out just as their predecessors in the abuse Of
we cannot trust the stories Of the suppression
Of revolt that we get every day. These stories
come by way of Madrid or Paris in every
case, and in both cities the statement of news
is distorted to the disadvantage of the strug-
Cling people. Indeed, the very fact that the
world has been permitted to hear at all of the
uprising indicates that it Is well nigh beyond
the power Of the government to control it.
An important point in regard to it lies in the
consideration Of what the conduct of the army
will be. In the case of French revolution
we might almost calculate the date at which
the soldiers would fraternize with the people,
for it has always been the case in every French
uprising, that so soon as its proportions indi-
Gated that it was an expression of the general
impulse of the nation the soldiers would not fight
against it. But then in France the army ia so
directly derived from the true body of the
people and in sympathy with the popular mind
that it could not well be otherwise In Spain,
on the contrary, the army is an institution
quite apart and not inspired by or in sympathy
with the general thought and feeling of the
mass. This fact would much retard and may
altogether prevent the influence upon the
soldiers Of the acts of the people yet we can
not believe but sooner or later the army will
feel what It is that it is fighting against and
will refuse obedience to the orders of its
ambitious leaders. The moment it does SO
the republic is secure.

AT a moment when revolution Ia so general
it Is not to be wondered at that the Church of
Rome should feel the effects of the prevailing
influence. Perhaps to this may be attributed
the object of the coming Council, which will
bring together the servants of the Church
from all parts Of the globe, and will doubtless
lead to some modification in unison with the
cinthe has not failed to meet support, and from
the causes Of protest mentioned in the letter
Of Brother des Pilliers, published in the
HERALD Of yesterday, It really would appear
that some tangible reasons of difference do
exist. The era Of slavery, both direct and
indirect, has long since passed, and our pre-
sent existence calls for a revision Of all mat
tiers tending in that direction. Not even the
acts and doings of the Holy City can be
exempted from this exigency. The Pope him
self must feel and see that tho enlightenment
of the present day calls for some serious modi-
fication. Pere Hyacinthe has chosen wise
course of action in coming, as we are informed
he intends, TO this country, where all creeds
enjoy perfect freedom. Here be win find
wide field in which to argue his reasons of
dissension, and, unencumbered by any moral
or physical pressure, can freely discuss the
points at issue. To deprive man of his very
action Of thought is Of itself an intolerablc
state of slavery and bondage, from which Pere
Hyacnthe and all of his followers who join in
his sentiments are fully justified in endeavor-
ing to free themselves. The challenge has
now, however, been given, and II is TO be
hoped, should the cause be good, that such
steps may result in beneficial notifications
affecting the world at large. No man, GER
tainly, can effectively preach faith to the
masses when he himself has none.

an opportunity to carry out this policy. From
the time the Monroe doctrine was proclaimed
the nations of the world have recognized
however reluctantly sometimes-this to be the
American policy To surround this great
republican country with republics and to
uphold their institutions involves great prin-
cple of national existence and progress. They
are, as Mr.. Seward aptly designated them, sour
buttresses." All nations act upon the same
principle to strengthen themselves. To show
this we might notice the conduct Of Prussia
in absorbing the States of Germany, of France
in annexing Nice and Savoy, of Italy in extend
ing her dominion, Of England in her annexa-
tions in India and other parts Of the world, of
the course of Russia, and, in fact, of the
policy of all governments where their own
interests, progress or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT are con-
oerned. In every point of view-for the sake
of humanity, for the cause of republican liberty
in America, for the sake of progress, for our
own interests-Cuba appeals to us for recogni-
ton and support. Spain has no claim upon us
beyond that demanded by strict international
obligations, and these do not bind us to refuse
the Cubans recognition. If the Washington
letter referred to expresses the views and
policy of the administration they are in oppo-
sition to public sentiment and unworthy of
this great republic. However, Congress will
soon meet, and, it we mistake not, the voice of
the people win be heard then and the Cubans
be recognized.

THE LONDON TINES ON THE GOLD RUMpUs.-
In arguing that the government sale Of gold
which broke the bull game was blunder the
London Times is not without ground to stand
upon but it assumes that the fury, had risen
higher, would only have injured the gamblers or
driven 'dupes from the Exchange" But that
is not true. No one can assign a limit to the
possible consequences Of the game. Stocks
would have gone altogether, and the confidence
of the trading community would have been uni
versaly shaken and Of such sequence the
end is great disaster. We cannot afford to
punish sharpers at such cost to society.

The WoRKINGMENs MovEMENr.-Ou read
ers will have noticed, from our report of the
proceedings Of the workngmens meeting at

the labor leagues are drifting towards an indie

the powerful republican and democratic par
ties, be ground to powder as between the
upper and the neither milestone.

NATIONAL BANKS are forbidden by law to
loan to one person or company more than one
tenth the amount of their capital stock, which
is supposed to prevent their INDUCING in specu-
lative jobbery but if they make such loans
this defiance of the law does not invalidato the
loan, but forfeits the privileges Of the bank.
IT is the lender and not the borrower that must
suffer, for the lender is the party the law has a
hold upon. Such is the decision on the point,

Judge Ingraham having deemed it his duty,
in view Of the exceedingly questionable char
acter of the recent gold ''cornering" opera
tons, to call the attention Of the Grand Jury
to provision Of law making 1t criminal offence
for two or more persons to conspire together
to Commit any act injurious to public morals
or to trade or commerce, it now remains to be
seen whether the District Attorney will con-
slider It worth while to discharge his duty in
the premises. Not being sufficiently acquainted
with the facts connected with the transactions
in question to express any decided opinion
thereon, Judge Ingraham suggested that
where transactions Of this character take
place, causing SO much arrangement Of bust
ness and in6icting such injuries on the trade
and commerce Of the country, 1t may well be
the duty Of the Grand Inquest Of the county,
as it is undoubtedly within their province,
to inquire whether such occurrences have
been brought about by any unlawful combina-
ton, and il so, to present the guilty parties for
trial" The suggestion il good one, and
public interest demands that it should be acted
upon, and that promptly. That two or more
persons did conspire together to ''bull' gold,
and in so doing committed acts decidedly inju-
rious to trade and commerce, is foregone
conclusion. That Mr.. James Fisk, Jr., was
one Of the conspirators, Jay Gould another
and Abel II. Corbin third no one seems dis
posed to deny since the FIRST named party has
made ''clean breast Of it." the second has
made no denial, and Mr.. Corbin has in a mea-
sure convicted himself There is some mys-
terry, however, as to other parties to the con-
spiracy--a mystery which must be dispelIed,
and to this end we invoke the aid Of the Dis
trict Attorney and the concentrated wisdom oil
the Grand Jury.
