The union between those two factions of the de- mocracy, the barnburners und the old bunkers, has aused a superabundance of remark, censure, ap- proval, sarcasm, and philosophy, from the newspae pers of all parties. Some approve and others dis approve of it. Some eonsider it the meanest and Desest coalition that was ever conceived; while ethers think it is a very natural and consistent con- giommeration of the two factions for the good of oth. The barnburners and hunkers themselves, through their several organs and journals, seem to approve of the union, und expect to realize vast be- aefits from the concentratian of their forces, in the eoming election. The whig journals, on the con- wary, are very violent agaiost the movement, aad denounce it in the most bitter and sarcastic teru The marriage, however, has been effected, and certain consequences twill follow from this unioa, which will eet aeide and render of no avail all the tak that may be made against the movement. Oue of the primary results ot this important movement will be, to commence in this State, and carry oat, if possible, in all the Northern States, the re-nnion of the old democracy oa anti-slavery principles to the fullest extent consistent with the constitution of the United States, or the doctrine of State rights | Jn fact, John Van Buren declared that iis purpose | in consenting to euch a union, isto make the de- mocracy an onti-tlavery party. In this aspect, we are much afraid that out of thie city, in the iate- rior of the State, the demoeracy will hereafier be ae much anti-slavery as the whizs have heretofore | Deen in their local policy. Both of the old parties, whig and democrat, now occupy the same ground —round, too, which has been forced on them by the abolition movement, commenced about twen- | The Lighting of the City. There is no delinquency, on the part of our city government, of which the inha»itants of New York complain more, or have more reason to complain, than of the manner in which the streets are Vighted. At all times, in more than three-fourths of the city, the ght 1s so distributed as just to mike the * darkness visible,” and it would be al- most as well to have no hight atall, aseuche miserable apology for it. Indeed, in some re- epects, it would be better to have total darkness ; for then the peaceable, honest citizen would have some chance of escape from the assassin, the robber or the rowdy. But the dim oil lamos, | which seem fvintly struggling for existence, aniidet the surrounding gloom, and seattered at Jong intervals, give the lurking assailant light enengh to see his victim, but not enough to the victim to recognise the features of the ruffian who attacks him under cover of the night. The lives and property of a very Jarge proportion of the citizens are every night ut the mercy of the ill-Cispored ; and that there are so few assassi- nations, robberies and assaults, 1s owing more to the forbearance or cowardice of the thieves, or to | their eearcity, than to the lighting of the city, or the vigilance of the police. he officers, as we have the meane of knowing, are afraid to venture into the darkness, not being able to distinguish the persons of the gang they would have to grapple with, nor to ascertain how great their number. The consequence 1s, that there are more depre- dations committed than ever come to light. It is notorious that sailors,are robbed, night after night, in thoee streets lying along the two rivera, eape- cially the East River, and these robberies are never reported, beeause, from the darkness in these streets where they are perpetrated, the plundered would not ‘be able to identify the rob- bers, and, therefore, it would be totally useless for him tomake any complaint. A gentleman connected with this office, having occetion to pass through one of these streeta, a few the police the shortest route to his destination, when the officer very good-naturedly advised him to beware of passing through certain streets that were then lying nght before him—a caution that seemed not altogether unnecessary, for two sea- men had been robbed and beaten a few minutes before, near the game spot. It was im the Fourth ward. . Sometimes, when aman is brave or foolhardy enough to resiet, he is knocked on the head, or strangled, and thrown over the quay. Hence, ina week after, we hear of an “unknown man” being found drowned, floating at Astoria, Ward’s Island, Flushing Bay, or wherever else the tide will carry the body. ‘Then, fromthe hurned way in which in- quests are generu!!v conducted, the Coroner having toe much to do in this way, rarely is any lightthrowa on the dark mystery, and a verdict 1s returned “in accordance with the evidence,” which is, in fact, no evidence to the purpose. The body 1s buried, perbaps in the eand, as ona late occamon, and no- thing more is known, or ever will be, about the deceased, till the day of judgment. They manage country. It is very seldom, indeed, that you will ever read in the journals of London or Paris of an \nquest being held upon the body of a man “ un- known.” These are some of the results of keeping the city in darkness. There are many others, such as the breaking of legs and spraining of ankles in the holes in the sidewalke, insults to reapectable fe- males, and the practice of prostitution in the case of the unfortunate. Even in those parts of the city that are lighted with gas, what is the fact? Why, that the light ia only a slight degree removed from darkness. Broadway, the B-wery, and two or three other leading thoroughfares, are pretty well lighted ; buy enough for the perpetration of any degree of wick- edness with impunity. The quality of the gas is twferior, the quantity diminutive, and the lights co far apart, that they are * like angels’ vi Then they are extinguished a little after midnight—the very time they are most wanted—orare not hghted for an hour and a half after suneet. The police are constantly complaining of it ; for instance, they re- port that, in the First ward, on Friday eveniag ast, there was not # single light in Front etreet, up ty years ago in the Northern States, and which, at that time, wae received with such terrible opposi- tion by the leaders of all parties. The anti-slavery men and the abolitionists ef the North, have, | therefore, achieved u remarkable vietory over the | \ policy, principles, and pablic opinion, of both the | old parties in this region of the country. They have succeeded in driving both of them from their wn grovad, and in compelling them to assume an anti-tlavery character, toa very remarkable and dangerous extent. In this point ot view, whatever may be the re- sult of the next election—whether the whigs or the democrats be successful—the iseue, ina national aspect, on future evente, must be very disastrous to the Union, and to the harmony which has here- sofore existed between the North and the South Anti-tlavery is # feeling aud a principle—whi when it once gets a head—like the young river from the mountains—it soon cuts a channel for it- welt, collects other tributaries in its eourse, which ewell its volume as it proceeds on its way to the great ocean of futurity. the dangerous aspect of the present posi- the two great political parties have as- sumed. Io another respect, we have understood that the union of the democracy in this State is meant and intended os « primary etep, in an effort | hereafter to be made, to bring forward Col. Ben ton, of Missouri, as the candidate of the democracy for the Presidency, at the proper time. It appears the leaders of both parties have given out, at Utica and Syracuse, euch to be their purpose. At the approeching meetings at Tammany Hall, or else- where, it w not probable that the speakere and orators will let ovt all the purposes which they count upon from this movement. If Jobo Van Buren should get up in Tammany Hall, at any of the approaching me: tings, and dehver the aume anti-slavery sentiments which be usually throws out iin the county, we doubt very much if they would be received with the seme applause; for we do not believe that onti-slavery prevaila to any great extent in thie city, except among a few private in- viduals of no ort ot influence. The greater part et that feelin ile among the whigs and de- meerats in the country, and not i the large cities; but the movements, and prejudices, and predilee- thon of the cities wre eutirely overwhelmed and ewomped by the more enlarged influence of the eountry population pre Death or Docton Hovsros.—it ie with ex treme regret that we inform our readers of the death of Dr. James A. Houston, so well and favor- ably known, throughout the United States, wea member of the Press. He died yesterday at from hemorrhage of the lungs, which attac him bout wn deys ago. For talent aud ability, euber ae reporter or editor, he bed but few equals and no ruperior, Asa member of society—a citi. zen—a parent—a friend—he was all that could be desired. Probably no man that ever lived had fewer enemies or more friends. He was eanguine and wervous in temperament—of an expansive heart—his centiments were honorable and gene- tous, for he could not conceive a mean thought— hie knowledge and reading were extensive. His untimely departure is regretted by all who knew | hun. We shall, at an early day, give a biographi- | eal sketch of him morrow, at fou His funeral will take place to- ‘clock. Prom St. Domrnoo —We learn from Capt Joly wen, of echooner Julia A. Mister, arrived yester- dey morning from Miragoane, St. Domingo, that at the time he left, 28tb ult., all was quiet on the Deland e a 10 half past seven o'clock, which was an hour after dark. And this is no solitary instance of criminal neglect or wilful malversation. There is one all—Marketfield street—where aesignations, made on the Battery and elsewhere, are consummated + and the police, thovgh knowing these facts, will not risk their lives by attempting to interfere with the parties. The First ward contsins three-fourths of the money, uns a large proportion of the moveable pro- perty, of the city, and yet, even it as lighted i the | way we have deseribed, There is not a meet- ing of the Common Council held that there are not remonstrances, memorials, and petitions about increased Jight; but so little attention paid to this rubject by the “ city fathers,” that the extizens despair of justice, and give the matter vp in diegnet. Yet it is net because enoagh of meney is not expended on the lighting of the city. | | There ie more paid for quarter light and three- | fourths ¢orkuess, than would illumine the whole of the inhabited portion of New York eplendidly, if the money were properly applied. Gas is three times os expensive here as itis in London, Liver- pool, Manchester, Edinburgh, and other large cuties ia Great Britem., In those cities, the charge, at ene time, Wee just as exorbitant as in New York ; but the citizens determined not to be humbugged ony longer. They started rival companies, over- threw monopolies, and, by the universal use of gas, we, they made it the cheap je the new companies had, at vil, ae much profit as the old, in conseqnence of the increase of consumption—the chief expense consisting in the laying of the main pipes. If we had ap intelligent, upright Commoa Coun- cil, what ought to be done is thie:—that body ought to twke the hghting of the city into ite owa hande ; employ firet rate men, at hberal salaries, to conduct the business, and thus give to the citizens the immenee profita of the gue companies. The uee of the abominable oil lamps ought to be totally nbolished, and the whole city lighted with gas only.

CrmunaL Justick—Tuk Aston Pace Rior- ExS.— We are very sorry to say that an impression prewails 1 certain quarters, thit no jury can be found in this city to convict those persons who were engaged in the deplorable riot which took place in frout of the Astor Place Theatre, on the evening of the tenth of May laet, no matter how clear, or positive, or emphatic the evidence may be The prevalence of suck a eeatiment in a civilized community, mdicates some grave and grievous tellect, or in the condition of the race. Now, why is it that such an opinion prevails in regard to the action of jurors, that they would not convict, even on the clearest evidence % Of late years, it must be admitted that laxity in | remarkable extent. It has grown up ceiempora- | neously with the prevalence of certain loose ideas —with the career of certain infidel writers, and socialists, of the worst kind, who have endeavored to inculcate theiradsurd ideas on this community. ‘Twenty years ago, an organized not, and opposition | the name of anti-masonry; about the same time, a man named Skidmore, with his assistants, com- menced a movement against the rights of pro- perty, and the principles of morality and religion, in this city; but they were temporary only—evane- scent—and they scon disappeared. It was not until a later day, when the movement of the anti-rent- ers was stimulated by certain political agitators Fourier, trom Paris, who threw into the cauldron their influence, (and who have made all the changes which have taken place in the constitution and laws of this State,) that matters reached thie unfor- tunate crisis;and the consequence 1s, that society in ing over until the present moment, when it is hard- ly poesible to know what the law is, how justice from jurors, judges, or governora. We have seen men, convicted of being engaged in murder in the occupying @ bigh situation under the national go- vernment; and thore movements and doctrines still are agitated, as if for the purpose of removing all the restraints of law, which are necessary to keep the commurity. Socialiem—Fourierite socialism—mixed with in- fidelity, folly, and abstractions ef all kinds, has been growing up in this city for the last six or eight years, under the patronage of political leaders of munity, until st has gained strength and foundation in the public mind, so much as almost to drive away prevent authors of outrages committed on society from being punished. To this, and similar causes, may be attributed the impression, which has grown up of Jate yeare, that it is difficult to obtain crimi- Bal justice in this community, an instance of which | was found in the trial of Polly Bodine; and probably, | before many days have elapsed, we will have a fuc | amile of it before us.

This objection is very justly taken, Look, for instance, at the Post Office advertising im this city, and throughout the country. Under a epecial net of Congress, this ad- | vertising must be given to papers that ean prodace evidence of having the largest circulation in the city and vicinity where they are published. But for this law, the Post Offiee advertising would be bestowed on papers of no circulation, in the same way as the general advertisements of the govern- ment ure given away. Dut the law of Congress | steps in and compels postmasters to act like men | of sence, and to employ those channels of publica- | tion whieh the community at large find it to their interest to patronize. What isthe reason, there- fore, that the cabinet at Washington, in | view, | | + goes against the spirit of the act of Congress, and throws away its advertising patronage on papers without circulation, and without influence ? ‘We may look for the reasons in the narrow-mind. edness, the paltry motives, the political charlatan- ivm, which generally prevail among such m are generally eelected as cabinet counsellers aad heads of bureaus.
