The chief difficulty hedges the chief of the nation, and the eve of the great day when the coup d’etat will be attempted tthand. All this has been predicted, and we are standing upon the very precipice of its realization. Is it possible that “masterly inactivi- ty” can save us? Upon the “single chance that | sways a piece of human frailty,” is this nation to rest its dearest hopes at such a crisis? Or, is the voice et the great unity of the nation to be once more heard through its representative organs? | Time must echo a reply to the interrogatones— and, if we mistake not, the answers will cor- The Blavery Question—Tne Constitution of California. According to our telegraphic despatches, last evening, the President has submitted the constitu- | thon of Califorma to Congress. This will bring the whole slavery and territorial question to a crisis. With the admission of California, the territories must also be organized on a fair and just basis. Now that the erisis is upon us, hopes of a setule- ment of the whole difficulty increase. Since the introduction of Mr. Clay’s compromise Tesolutions into the Senate of the United States, for the settlement of the exciting question of slavery, as regards the new territories, we think a better and more charitable public sentament has been exhibit- ed in all sections of the country. The patriotism which pervades the speech of that statesman, seems to have been communicated to all who have read it, and fanaticism and ultraismhave cowered before it. There 1s an occasional out-burst of feeling, but had not previously looked at the question in | any but a one-sided way, to view its Southern as- peet, as well as the Northern; and the consequence is, that many, in this region especially, who pre- viously considered that the South had nota particle | of mght to assume the stand which it has on the slavery question, are now willing to admit the existence of equity in their demand, to a certain extent. They are beginning to think that in sub- mutting to be led by designing politicians, they have, unknowingly, been following an abstraction, and endangering the peace and integrity of the whole confederacy. This return ot reason, after such a long aberra- | tion, is gratifying, and augurs well for the settle- ment of the slavery agitation. We cannot expect that the fanatics of either the Northern or the Southern States will abandon the factrous course whieh they have been pursuing so long; for if they do, they would sink into insignificance. In almost every State of the Union there are many windy politicians of every party, who have reach- ed a factitious importance by violently advocating extreme views, either fer or against the South, and | by that alone. Such men care nothing for the Union or the elave, whose particular friends they aflect to be. All they want is to attain a position; and they care not what means they use te promote their ends. What do they care for the eondition of the elave—whether he has that abstract liberty of which they prate so much, or not, as long as they make personal capital out of him? What would become of such men as Greeley and his co- adjutors, if slavery did not exist in the Southern States?) Were it abolished, they would at once | sink into insignificance—the only prop that sup ycrts them would be taken away, and they would never more be heard of. Did it not exist, they would never have acquired that factitious position \ hieh they have—one, however, which is anything but enviable. So it is with the Fourierites, the cvcialste, and others of that ilk. As long as there is an evil connected with the organization of so- «.cty, it constitutes their capital and stock in trade. Gu it they will most piteously dwell, and in that wey deceive the ignorant but well meaning por- tion of the community into the impression that they are honest reformers, who wish to ameliorate the condition of humanity. If such a sentiment of compromise as we have referred to, were to anumate Congress, there would voon be a satisfactory settlement of the slavery question in that body, It prevails to a certain ex- tent there, end is confined toa few men. Those few, however, by their commanding talents and acknowledged patriotism and ability, have itia their power to take the whole subject out of the hands of the factionists, and dispose of it ia such & way as to give eutistaction to the reasonable and moderate men of all parties, in both the Northern and Southern States. It is to those men the ceun- try locks in this crisis. The agitators have had their own way long enough. The cabinet have tried to delay its settlement; but neither the fac- tou or the cabinet could stand aa hour before the influence of such men as we allude to. We now look to the exercise of that influence, in the ay hing debate on the California constitetion We hope to see the whole question settled, and put to rest for ever. It is the darkest just before the brevk of day. s Tremespows Demonstration In tae Park—Tar Newseoys Meerine.—The neweboys of this city, as will be sera in another column, had a spirited meeting m the Park yesterday. The resolutions willepeak for themselves. They probe some of the conventional leprosies and cankerepots of social orgenization more thoroughly than could have beea anticipated, end a good moral eflect may result, im the end, by bringing the prety and poverty of the metropolie into a close communication. The two have been long separated—or, rather, they have never been strictly wnited—poverty, ia teo many instances, being obliged, like the Saviour of man- kind, “to plack the cor” SBebbath dey, in spite of the outcries of those who held the day in reverential awe. It as to be re. gretted that the New Testament, by which the mass of mankind in civilized countries are guided, | has not been more explicit with respect to the | sacredness of the one day in seven—that it has | rather leaned ¢o it as an ordination of society, than es consecrated by the Mosaic dispensation.

It is a tortunate circumstance, however, that one etumbling block has been removed, to facilitate the progress of the administration, so that the one great nest, in which all afier events are to be hatched, may be | made as comfortable es possible for those who persist in being its incumbents. The Revenue Collection Bill has passed both houses of Congress, and will soon be alaw. The | Secretary of the Treasury willprobably be able,with the additional sum appropriated by the new act, | get through the year. The course pursued by Congress in this matter, only establishes another precedent for the repeal or nullification of any act before it has been properly tested, upon the repre- sentations or misrepresentations of any adminis- tration with whose movements it may interfere. The bill of March, 1849, was introduced to the lower house of Congress by the Committee of Ways and Means, of which six were whigs and | three were democrats, and passed without a divi- sion. It was approved of by every whig, and was highly commended by the leagers of that party. It was a whig measure, and a whig administration had the enforcement of it. If this is a sample of the legislation of that party, it will be for the best intereste of the country that it should ever be in the minority. ‘The telegraphic despatch from Toronto is charged with important information. It may convey some idea of the respect with which Earl Grey’s procla- mation is treated. The British government at home can convict, with the aid of special juries, on a charge of conspiracy, or of treason; but the modus operandi will scarcely work to the satis- faction of the Colonial Secretary in a distant pro- vince, seriously and largely interested as it 18, to unshackle itselt ot those fetters which have eaten into the very bone of society. Changes will take place. The colonial policy of England, adapted to benefit the younger sons of the nobility, in the nature of things cannot be tolerated when the commercial energies of the colonists are un- mercifully cramped.

MONEY MARKET. Wednesday, Feb 13-6 P, HM, The stock market opened slightly buoyant thie morning, and the bears made their appearance as pur- chasers, which accounts for the amount of eash stook sold, It will, however, be seen that most of the trans- actions were on tit The sales of Harlem were large. There appears to be any quantity of stook pressing on the market, and the bears haves fine opportunity to put out covtracts. Long Isiand and Hudson River Rail- road fell off to-day, the former {,an4 the latter 1 per cent from previous rales. Erie Bonds, new, were active to-day, but prices fell off from the opening. Morris Canal finds purchasers at prices current yesterday. Most of the fancies closed at the first board less buoy- apt than at the opening, and the market appears to be. 42 8n unsettled state, and prices with difficulty sus- tained. Operators in the most dangerous fancies pur- ebare stock for cash,and put it out immediately om time, buyers’ option, at an advance of 34 a \{ per cent, and bold the stock fer delivery when ealled for. The cheapness and abundance of money enables them to dc. thie, and as the safety of the operation depends upom the ability of the purchaser to take the stock, those satisfied with emall profits prefer that kind of business to holding any fancy at any price, on their own ac- count. It is our impression, from the appearance of things in the otreet—from the nature of the operations. and the class of purchasers, from the large quantity of stock present prices will bring out, aud the great ac- cumulation in the hands of brokers, that the advance cannot be sustained, and that a few days will bring about « reaction, The improvement is ummetural, and artificial, and has not the first element ef health or permanency. At the second board, there wasa further improve- ment in prices, with pretty large sales. There is no | change in the class of purchasers. Parties now buying have been doing so for the past six months, amd every quarter per cent improvement brings out hundreds of abares of stock. Erie Bonds, new, fell off \ per cent Morris Canal, i. Erie Railroad advanced 34; Harlem, Mj; Canton Co., %; Farmers’ Loan, i. The amount on deposit in the office of the Assistant ‘Treasurer, at the close of business to-day, was $3,241, 168 71.

Thir deducted from the aggregate, leaves $161,161 38, only $163 70 lees than the total income, The indebtedocst of the company on the let of January, 1860, war $482,060 01, of which $100,000 are « loam from the Btate; $247 663 06 outstanding bonds of the company snd $35.426 06 accounts payable.
