Gen. | Pierce accepts the democratic resolutions—not be- | | cause he was expected to do so—not as a matter of necessity from which there was no escape—but be- | cause they command the approbation of his judg- ment. Mr. Graham, the whig candidate for Vice President, also cordially endorses the resolutions of | the whig convention. But Gen. Scott briefly say: | “Taceept the nomination with the resolutions an- o'clock, and am edition for | Dexed.” He expresses no cordiality—no approbation; | but gulps them down like a dose of castor oil, and | immediately puts in his month a lump of sugar or two to take away the disgusting taste of the Com- promise prescription. Mr. Toombs thinks this is prevaricating—that it is “holding the word of pro- mise to the ear” too feebly to be trusted—that such an acceptance means nothing more than the accep- | tance of nee y—that it is an extorted confession, of no valid or binding effect. But for the antece- dents of Gen. Scott, his simple acceptance would have been enough. It is notorious, however, that he was the candidate of Seward, Johnston and company—that they worked out his nomination in the convention—that they opposed the adoption of a platform, from the first to te last, and that it was only because of the utter impossibility of nominating General Scott without a platform, that they surrendered to this inflexible sine gua non of the South. Hence the suspicion that attaches to a cold and reluctant ratification of the resolutions by General Scott. His political affiliations required a cheerful endorsement, hearty and emphatic, to re- lieve him of the distrust of Southern men—especi- ally the Union men of Georgia. It is not, therefore, surprising that Mr. Toombs should be dissatisfied with the letier of acceptance of General Scott, and urge the policy of a separate Union ticket in this Presidential contest.

Similar suggestions have been made here, through the columns of the Courter and Enquirer, Day Book, and Mirror; but we apprehend that it is now too late to entertain any strong expectation of such a movement.

The most prominent candidates now before the public are John P. Hale, for President, and Cassius M. Clay, for Vice President; but the most prominent are not always successful, and perbaps Benjamin F’. Butler, of this city, or some other, may be the nominee for President. It is, however, a matter of very small importance what candidate is nominated, as it is impossible that he can be victorious in the struggle, | unless, indeed, it be considered a victory not to win, but to prevent from winning, one or other of tho twe candidates representing the whig and democra- tic parties. Itis the platform, therefore, and not the candidate of the anti-slavery faction, that is al important in thie crisis—the organization and ac- tion of a third party, that will take awaya large number of votes from one or other of the two par- ties who have already made their nominations, and are so nicely balanced that sueh a loss would be sure to defeat cither of them. The leaders of the abolition party, do net them- but they can elect whichever of the two great party candidates they please. They hold in their hands the balance of power—the issues of life and death— and by throwing their weight into either scale, the opposite will be kicked high in air. This would be a very important triumph to the anti-slavery party, not, merely as an indication of the strength of their vote, but on account of its effects in reference to the permanency of the two parties who now divide the great mass of the people between them, and the nature of the issues which are likely, hereafter, to constitute the rallying ground for party contests in the United States. ‘ If the action of the third party should take away more votes from the whigs than from the democrats, the result will be that the democratic party will eloct their candidate, and become the great constitutional party of the country; while the whigs will be completely disorganized, and reduced to the neces- sity of merging into the anti-slavery party. If, on the other hand, the democrats should lose most votes by the action of this third purty, then the de- mocratic party must go to the wall, be broken up, and amalgamate with the barnburner element, and all the other anti-slavery elements; while in that event the whigs will become the constitutional party. Thus, in cither case, the present anti-slavery par- ty has a great game in its hands. It has only ex- isted about ten years. The auti-slavery sentiment has been gaining ground all that time, striking its roots deeper into the earth, and spreading its rami- fications more widely every day. But hitherto it has never attained to the dignity and power of an opposition party. It has been only a third party, holding the balance of power—sometimes giving it to one side, and sometimes to another. But now, it aims at breaking up the whig and democra- tic parties, and forming a new combination with one of them, and thus becoming itself a great par- ty in the country. This game ison the cards; and if the leaders only play it skilfully, they will undoubtedly win it; and after the election of 1852 we shall no longer hear of whigs and democrats, but of an abolition party and a constitutional party; and the slavery question, which has so long agitated the country by collateral issues, will be presented for tho first time to the pation, in a direct form, in the Presidential campaign of 1856. To this com- plexion will it come at last. New JoURNALS, AND JOURNALISM.—Mr. Samuel Beman, whose wife, we believe, once kept, and still keeps, a very excellent establishment for making up linen for gentlemen, has started a new journal, which he calls the Voice of the People, in which he endeayors to make up opinions—not shirts—for the working people all about town.

It was not the intention of the Logislature to give together—in fact, it never contemplated that they law says: “The City Inspector shall appoint as many health wardens as the Common Council shall direct.” That implies that the Common Council would ap- point some health wardens—be the same more or less—but not by any means that they should ap- point none at all, which is decidedly contrary to the spirit of the act. It is a curious fact that in every question involving the health of the city, the Judge invariably decide in favor of filth. Probably, if they lived in those neighborhoods that are soriously af- fected by their decisions, they might be induced to give a different judgment. The stench in their nos- trils would be an excellent guide to the true inter+ pretation of the law. As the matter now stands, the City Inspector is paralyzed, and his office is rendered useless. He can appoint only as many wardens as the Common Coun- cil shall direct. If they do not give any direction, he cannot appoint any. But they refuse to give any direction unless the City Inspector appoints such men as they please—in fact, democrats. The City Inspector, however, isa whig, and does not want to appoint democrats, or, rather, he does not want to get rid of the whigs he long since appointed, and who are familiar with the duties of their office, and are acquainted with all the localities in the different wards, and must, therefore, be more efficient than any new men would be. The result is, that no wardens at all now exist, and the city is without them for the first time for a long series of years. But the city cannot do without health wardens, and this state of things ought not to be continued any longer. When the City Inspector was elected by the people, he ran ahead of his ticket, and obtained a very large vote, thus showing that democrats voted for him, and were satisfied with the manner in which he fulfilled the duties of his office. Tais re- tion he received from the whig Common Couneil of that day, which uniformly opposed his sanitary measures during the awful period of the cholera, This shows that Dr. White is not a partisan; and the Common Council would consult its own dignity, and the interests of the people, by allowing him to exercise the privilege the law gives him of appointing the men who are to act under him” He is responsible for the health of the eity, and the law presumes that he knows best what kind of mon to select. Suppose the Common Council appointed men who were unfriendly to him, he never could carry out his measures. He is the head of the health department, as the Mayor is the head of the point the officers whose duty it is to maintaina healthy condition of the city. This arises from the very necessity of the case; and as the public health is not a matter to be trifled with, or be placed fora moment in competition with political considera tions, it isto be hoped the Common Council wilj magnanimity, for which they will stand high in the estimation of their fellow citizens of all parties.

How can it be aceounted for? Prosperity seems to have blessed sinners far beyond their expectations. There is something true in that old maxim, after all, that, | there is more joy somewhere over one sinner that returss | to goodness than over ninety-nine just persons who never | committed any sin at all. Both Lola Montes and Tom | Hamblin have been sinners in their day—very deop- | dyed sinners—but we have the highest authority in philosophy and humbug—oontained in the columns of he Tribune and the Times—for stating that both are very | wonderfully improved, and are now, in their new | position, succeeding admirably in creating a great excitement, and producing fine houses, in the Bowery Lola Montes continues during the present week to play in the same piece whieh sbe performed last week; but we understand, that in a benefit which she takes on Wednes- day of this week, she intends to bring out an entirely new cee, which will make the fur fly. It is called “Lola jontes in New York;” and the principal characters will be Kossuth, the Hungarian exile; Greeley, the squash philosopher; and a number of other editors and distin- guished personages of our city, not forgetting the oyster house critics, This plece is said to be equally liyely, brilliant, witty and curious with that of “Lola Montes in Bavaria,” but with far more application to scenes and characters in real lite in this city, than even that work possessed in relation toa country in Europe. The July Term of the Law Courts. The business of the law courts’ for this term will not actively commence until Wednesday next. We do not, however, anticipate anything of importance during the month. or in fact until after the summer vacation, ax but few of the courts will sit in trial term. The Superior Court will have no jury trials until September; but the decision ot Judge Betis, of the United States Cireuit, in the case of Thomas Kaine, claimed by the Dritish govern, ment as a fugitive from justice, will be delivered on Wed- nesday next, The Court of Sessions will also mect on Tuesday, for the July term—Judge Beebe presiding, and Aldermen Cornell and Alvord, of the Seventecnth and Eighteenth wards, being summoned as associates. ‘The calendar will not be made out till the latest hour, and theretore we cannot give the particulars, It is not usual at this sea- son of the year to try any other eases than those of pri- foners; and the court does not usually sit for more than a week or two. The number of prisoners in confinement, however, being eighty, they will no doubt be compelled to prolong their session to the utmost. This largo nam- ver of prisoners does not arise from any alarming increase of crime, but the peculiar circumstances of last term— when Bowne’s trial (the bank forgeries case) occupied three days—Ferguron’s, for pexjury, three days, and McAlpine's, for embezzlement, two days. Tn addition to | these drawbacks, the court was one day adjourned by default of jurors. We may remark, in passing, that this | latter circumstance is a great evil. and a serious impedi- | ment to the course of justice, It isto be hoped that some of the fines recently inflicted will prove a salutary warn- ing to those who are summoned. The members of the Grand Jury are subject to a similar remark. It is rarely that « sufficient number are present to form a quorum until an additional panel has been summoned. "The Cor- poration, by thelr offeer, usually allot & room in the yuildings in the Park to hold the summer sessions in, ond | a resolution to that effect has been passed. There is, | however, much inconvenience in bringing prisoners to and | fro. and the court will, therefore, it is said. be held for tite coming term at its old quarters—the Tombs.
