The anti- slavery sentiment, which had been fanned and en- couraged for so many years past: by certain factions for local purposes, within the whig end democratio parties, is beginning to show its symptoms in a new | shape, since the results of the proceedings of the two Baltimore conventions have been known, and the pational character of the platforms put forth by them has been ascertained at the North. As evi- | ences of this spirit, and of the probable defection that will be caused by it from both tho old partios— to inerease the anti-slavery party—at the approach- | | | | | | journals of both classes in this State. We have already alluded to the singular form in which the Evening Post, the organ of the anti- | King. its creed, and asa platform which was not agreed upon by the Convention, but passed through that | body by stealth or in a hurry. While. theretore, the | Evening Post teigns to accept the nominations of | Pierce and King, it has pursued such @ course in relation to the principles and platform on which these nominations stand, as will drive a great many | over to the third party, or the pure anti-slavery on, which is organizing and calling its conven- allover the North, This treacherous, incen- | ward meetings by the more rabid and more violent, avd mere incendiary of those who have hitherto been enrolled smong the barnburners, and en- gaged in propagating anti-slavery sentiments among the people. One of the most rabid speeches of this kind, which is reported in the National Democrat of Wednesday, was pronounced by Mr. Jobn Cochrane, formerly a defeated candidate for | Corgress. In this speech he feigns to support the nomnations, and to accept the platform and the principles, but yet walks ‘out of the record,” and denounces the institutions of the South as an evil of \ the most revolting character to humanity, and as | an evil which rust, at an early period, be abated in some way, but how he does not undertake to point out. Such sentiments put forth before the public, professedly in support of nominations made with a certain platform, are calculated for no other pure pose, and can succeed in no other object, than that mony of the barnburners to walk out the democratic party, and again swell the ranks of the anti-slavery party, whenever their nomina- tions shall have been made by the Pittsburg Na- tional Convention. This is the old spirit of reve and faction, and bitter hostility to the constitutional | rights of the South, which bre down the demo- | cratic party in.1848, and has, caused half of the trouble and agitation which has disturbed the coua- try ever since. The radical spirit of ant: ry, which has been again called into action by the Evening Post, and John Cochrane, in the Seventeenth ward, for the purpese of driving democrais from the party to swell the ranks of the anti-slavery faction, acquires even more momentum, and is exhibited in greater force within the limits of the whig party, both in this city and in this State. Tho anti-slavery senti- ments of the whig party of the North are not sent forth into the world alone. They are com- bined with all the wildest notions of ialism and radicalism, and red republicanism of the European stamp, all of which are so totally different from the ical, sensible, and every-day character of re- publicanisin and democracy in the Uniied States Iv proof of the strong spirit of demoralization and inst both the principles and the candi- dotes of the Whig Convention at Baltimore, we give to-day certain additional extracts, from some of the leading organs of that pa in this State—the bune, the Courter and Enguirer, both of this city, and the Evening Journal, of Albany. The Evening Journal is, excellence, the organ of Thurlow Weed and of Wm. H. Seward. It has al s been conducted with great duplicity and | of disposi | diary, dangerous policy, is pursued in some of the | convention, te be held at Pittsburg, to concentrate, 1 into a new elemental form, & new party on & = oy | platform, and to put forth new cand’ ates to, anti-slavery agitation that ba 'p¢en going on for the last twenty years, cannot be eured s0 readily af might have been supposed by the two conventions at Baltimore. It is en evil which has become radi- cally seated in the system, planted within the very hearts of the two eld parties, by such men as Wil- liam H. Seward and Martin Van Buren. These distinguished statesmen have taken up the original agitation from the hands of Garrison and Fred Douglass, merely to use it either to gratify their am- bition or their revenge. But itis now gone beyond the power of control, and there is every proba- bility, from the conduct of the journals and the politicians hitherto under that influence, that vast secessions will take place from the two old | ing election, we give elsewhere in our columns | parties in the coming election, and that the anti- fluenced by Seward or any human being.

We do not say that this will be the | zation or discipline to such an “extent as the demo- cratic does. The whig party is more affected with isms, and excitements, and ultra notions of all kinds, than the democratic. The latter is more practical, more sensible in its general features than the whig party, taken in the mass. We admit that the lead- | ers of the whig party are highly cultivated and in- | of rhe barnburners, and those tinctured with anti- | teligent men, and possess two-thirds of the wealth General Pierce, who is held up as a drunkard | slavery notions, from the democratic candidates | o¢ the North; but they want the practical skill, and | and a coward | sagacity, and sense of the leaders of the democrats, and the chances, therefore, are, in consequence of the different features of the two parties, that the greatest demoralization and defection will take place in the whig ranks, and that the anti-slavery organization, about to hold its national convention | than it did in 1848, and that Gen. Scott will, in the language of the Tribune, lose thousands of votes, and probably will lose the election. Tue INDEPENDENCE OF SAN JUAN, on GreyTrown. —-We published, on Tuesday last, by the arrival of had arrived at Greytown, and had notified the au- thorities that the governments of Great Britain and dependence of San Juan. Commodore Parker, of the Saranac, had mot then arrived; but it wag stated that there wag no doubt of his concurrence, on the p: missioners had proceeded to Costa Rica and Nivara- gua, for the purpose of definitively settling the boundaries of the territory of San Juan. An enter- tainment wae given in honor of the occasion of the recognition of the independence of San Juan, its advantages enlarged upon, and the inhabitants, it appears, were under the belief that they were about to enjoy an independent government. Now, it is well known that the city of San Juan, or Greytown, has been for some time past a bone of contention between England, the United States, and Nicaragua. The British government maintained that it belonged to the territory of his sable majes- ty, the King of Mosquito. Of course this preten- jon and acknowledgment on the part of Great Britain was a bumbug under which to cover what Lord Palmerston conecived to be her interests. As is well known, this contention was in some measure settled by the Clayton and Bulwer treaty. We understand that the inhabitants of San Juan have been under a pretty delusion as to the inde- pendence of t pendent State; and that the information conveyed them by the British Commodore is erroneous, and derived from some unaccountable source, and hence, probably, arisesthe absence of Commodore Parker on the occasion, and his not being a party to the notification. The actual facts appear to be, that by virtue of the agreement recently negotiated at Washington, between Mr. Webster ard the English minister, Mr. Crampton—and of course under the policy of the present government of England, the foreign depart- ment of which is now in Lord Malmesbury’s hands-- and sent out by commissioners for the ultimate deci- at Pittsburg, will probably poll more votes in 1852 | the United States had agreed to guaranty the in- | of his government; and also that com- | and its furmation into an inde- | GENBRAL PIERCE ASSAILED AS A DRUNKARD AND | 4 CowARD.—The burden ef all the speakers at the | whig rati.eation mecting on Thursday evenin~ all right enough, though very questiouahle as a | ground of electing him to tho officg of chicf magis- trate of this great nation; br¢, unfertunately with this was coupled a disgraceful attempt to degrade and lower the character of the candidate of the op- posite party, who, though not equal to Scott asa gerieral, becaxse he is not so old, and had not the fame opportunities, may possess the qualities of good geveraiship in as high a degree as General Scott, and the capacity for civil government in a far higher degree. And here we may remark, that the argument of Governor Jones, of Tennessee, at the ratification meeting, is very unsound. He argued that an old | soldier, like General Scott, was not likely to be in- ; the history of the cabinet of General Taylor, who | was an old soldier, as stubborn and determined as General Scott ever was, and elected by the peoplo ease with Gen. Scott, but if it should not, it will | not be because he is an old soldier. There is no class of men more liable to be held in leading strings, and for the most part, when in civil power, they are either despots or nincompoops. It is disgraceful to the whig party to permit their speakers to descend to such personalities against This is bad policy, for it will make the friends of Pierce cling closer to him, and raise up friends for him where he never had any before. The democratic party do not indulge in such attacks upon the character of Gen. | Scott. However they may enjoy a good natured joke at his expense, and make merry at his ‘fuss and feathers,” and the “‘ hasty plate of soup,” they do not say anything that leaves a sting behind. | This injudicious course was originated by the anti- | slavery faction and their filthy organ, the Tribune, | conducted by a set of dirty-faced, beastly-minded philosophers. The sooner the whig party repudiate such a course, the better forthemselves. Never had the mail from Central America, a statement that | any party, or any individual, more reason than ¢ the British Commodore of the West India station | General Scott and the whigs, to pray, night, noon, and morning, to be saved from their friends. More SMALL Newsparer Prracies.—A few days since we published, exclusively, the notification | ofthe “free soil democracy,” as they call them- | selves, issued by their committee at Washington, | for the assembling of a eonvention at Pittsburg to | | nominate candidates for the Presidency. This infor- | mation has been republished in several papersoutsido | of New York, without the customary credit, and when | they came back to this city they were taken hold of by our cotemporaries, and published as original | nformation on their parts. The Journal of Com- | merce is delinquent in this case, and took from the Baltimore Sum what first appeared in our columns. Another instance of a like kind of piracy: A few days ago we published an elaborate article containing the statistics of the religious press of this | city—information collected at a good deal of trouble | and some expense. This exclusive information was | generally published in the country papers with the usual credit; but we find it copied from them inthe Tribune, without the slightest intimation that it originally appeared in the Herarp. These are small things in themselves; but great mountains are made up of small pieces of chalk— Mount Blane and the Andes are merely agglomera- tions of small particles of gneiss. By. this system of newspaper piracy, many of the newspapers, | and elsewhere, contrive to eke out an existence and circulation, living, as it were, at second-hand, on the labors and efforts of others, and becoming, as it were, the mere chiffonniers of the press, the pickers up ofwhat falls from the ample stores of those who | rise early and work late to inform the public on all important points. | Tue Fuertive Stave Law—Tue Rest LT OF THE Tran av Syracuse.—An indictment having been procured against Henry W.

Theatrieal Novelth Mr. Niblo is filling his beautiful theatre by the attrac- | tive novelties with which he ministers to the public taste. The French troupe of dancers whom he has engaged, possess the highest order of terpsichorean talent. ‘They are handsome. graceful, and powerful artistes, excelling, in the ensemble, any company we have ever before had in this city. The French come opera troupe, who appear alternate nights with the dancers, afford an exquisite treat to the lovers ef good acting and singing; and, in addition to these attractions, Mr. Niblo has also presented a company of French comedians. By his liberality, dis- crimination, and taste, Mr. Niblo continues to have his theatre well filled when all the other places of amusement are half deserted. ‘At the Broadway, the chief attraction for the past week has been Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams—excellent come- dians—who have amused their audiences by their laugha- ble delineations of character in several Irish farces that have been produced. ‘The Bowery theatre comes out on Monday night with another great novelty, in the début on that stage, of Lola Montes, in her new piece. She is determined to carry everything before her, create a marvellous excitement | among the Bowery boys, and elevate that establishment to the rank of the most fashionable theatre in the city, in opposition to the Astor Place Opera House, which has been looking up since it was patronised, some weeks since, by the monkeys.

We regret this, for certainly they are among the very first order of artistes, Caroline, particularly, can hardly be excelled in grace and poetry of motion, though not such a powerful danseuse as some of those now at Niblo’s. The speculation to become managers on their own account was a bad one. The Cas- tle Garden has not attracted any considerable number of spectators, and they have been out-generaled and some- what eclipsed by the performances of the froupe of French dancers. = The Lyceum theatre is soon about to close, and to undergo a change of lessees. It has been taken by Mr. Wallack—the great Wallack—formerly well known as manager of the National theatre, and as a great actor. Ue is preparing to open the season with a very superior troupe of English comedians, and to contest the palm of superiority with all the other classical theatres of the city. Police Intelligence. TNE FORGERY ON THE MANHATTAN BANK—INVES- TIGATION COMMENCED. Before Justice Osborn. In yesterday's Henaup we published an account of a negro named Francis Hicks, who had been detected at- tempting to pass a forged check on the Manhattan Bank. The whole matter was yesterday brought up before Jus- tice Osborn, on an examination; as the negro alleged that he obtained the check froma white man, hence the in- vestigation to ascertain the truth of the negro’s state- ment. The following is a copy of the torged check pre- rented by the negro:— {cH ESERIES PSEA RRR RR, : nw Youx, June 22, 1852, ; MANIATTAN COMPANY.

Anti Siavery Lireratunn.--We learn, from a letter published in the Washington Eva, that 160,000 volumes of ‘* Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” by Mrs, Stowe, have been sold, all within a few months, In other words, 80,000 copies of the book, which is in two volumes, have been cireulated through the country, exercising an extraordinary influence sentiment where it did not exist before; and where it was already enkindled, fanning it into a flame. The success of this book is without a purallel in the history of this country, or of the world, and it is impossible to calenlate the full extent of (he effect which such a work will produce on the country, and the political relations of parties. It appeurs, too, that the press is teaming with other books of the same class. These publ cations are provoking replies on the other side One of these is a work by Mr. Ro Criswell, extrac! from which willbe found in another column.
