An the Senate yesterday, after the present viion of papers on various subjects, including a sories of resolutions adopted by the Legislature of Tcanessee in favor of repealing the duty on railroad iron, the subject of the slave trade and slavery in this coun- try was brought up. Mr. Clayton reported his bill for the suppression of the slave traffic in American vessels. A synopsis of its provisions, which are as stringent as the most zealous abolitionist could desire, is given in the report of the proceedings. It was stated that the measure had received the appro- val of every member of the Committee on Foreign Relations. The motion to refer to the Jadiciary Committee the memorial of certain citizens of Bos- ton for the immediate repeal of the Fugitive Slave Jaw clicited a very forcible speech from Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, who characterize] the motives of the petitioners as unholy and tenting to break down the constitution and degrade the South. He iden- tifiea the movement with the address recently is sued by the anti Nebrasko members of Congress, and commented severely upon the consequences of both. It would seein that the auti-slavery elements are rapidly combining for an onslaught on that prot vision of the law providing for the rendition of slaves. Mr. Chase cave notice thet he would ask leave to-day to introduce a bill to prohibit slavery in he Territories. The debate was very generally participated in. Mr. Dixon has the floor to-morrow, and will probably let us ea littl light as to the origin of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. In the House, on a motion to go into committee on the bill approprfating ten million dollars for carrying out treaty stipulations with Mexico, Mr. Benton brought forward his motion of inquiry into the alleged violation of the privileges of the Nonse inthe concocting of the famous Gadsden treaty. The points made by Mr. Benton were embraced in a series of resolutions, which may be found in the telegraphic report of the proceedings. The Speaker, however, being unable to perceive the existence of any question of privilege in the position assumed, overruled the motion, and the House went into com- mittee. At this point of the proceedings, Mr. Houston, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, to whom the task of pushing te bill through has been committed, moved to amend, thus opening the discussion. Mr. Benton began the debate with a powerful speech against the measure, in which he showed the worthlessness of the territory acquired, the exorbitant price paid for it, and the fraud that had been practised by ea- deavoring to make the peop!e believe that the gov- ernment is liable for the depredations of the Indians on the frontier by the treaty of Gaudalupe Hilalgo, and the abrogation of which is made an offset for the ten million dollars donated to Santa Anna. As to the conduct of the administration in presenting a demand for eo large a sum of money on suck short notice, he likened it to the highwayman’s summons to “Stand and deliver!” Mr. Bayly replied to the remarks of Mr. Benton. The discussion bids fair to prove the most interesting of the session. THE CHOLERA. There were three cases of Asiatic cholera in this city yesterday reported to the Alms Honse. The first was Mary Kennedy, an Irish woman, who died at No. 36 Pearl strect. A duplicate was sent in to the Commissioner in regard to thia case from the physicians; one pronouncing the canse of death cholera morbus, and the other calling it Asiatic cholera. The next case was Henry Weissenborn, a German, who died at No. 268 West Thirty-ninth street, and the third, Jane Lowrie, an Irish girl who died in the afternoon at the Cholera Hospital in Franklin street. The report of the health officer of Brooklyn, shows that during the past week there have been twelve deaths of cholera in that city, There were also six deaths of cholera infantum, and four o cholera morbus. COMMERCIAL AVFAIRS. The Atlantic’s news exercised very little in- fluence on the prices of breadstuffs. Inferior or Jow grades of flour wore heavy, owing chietly to local causes, which were operative last week, and sales were made at about 12) cents per barrel lower rates. Choice and extra grades were unchanged. Wheat was dull and tended dowawards, wiiie corn was without material change. Cotton was river dail at the official quotations. Freights to Liverpool were firm. Flour was ou gaged at 28. per barrel, and grain at 6d., in ship’ Lae MISCELLANEOUS. Hon. Gilbert Dean, member of Congr) fry 1!

Party Politics. he Crisis—Th: Whigs of the Two Sections—Daty of the Whigs ef the Soutin. We spread before our readers this morning, a chapter of copious extracts, chiefly from whiz journals, North and South, in reference to the reorganization in each section of the scattered fragments of the late national whig party. We commend these extracts to theearefal attention of our readers, of all parties, We are entering upon a political epoch of thehighest importance and involving the most comprehensive issues, for good or evil, to th Union, and all the political developemeats foreshadowing the reconstruction of parties-for the grand campaign of 1856, are, therefore, of paramount inierest. Things are nowin a state of fearful confusion in both the old parties; the symptoms of their reorganization are bad —altogether bad—and promise’little but mis- ebief. From all the signs of the times, North and South, whig and democratic, anti-slavery and secession, sectional and factious, there is a tendency to a continued demoralization in party politics—to a sectional warfare of the most deadly and dangerous character—to wide spread political corruptions—to sedition, seces sion, and disunion. The counsels of peace and- of reconciliation between the twe sections, are drowned in the universal clamor upon the slavery question, The Union, and the history, the glory, the grandeur, the prosperity and the necessity of the Union, have become an old story. Danger sur- rounds us wpon every side; yet the cry, so oftea repeated, is regarded with ridicule or indifie- rence, while bold incendiaries are sapping the citadel of our strength, cur unity, prosperity and our saf. ty asa homogeneous people. Never, since the <doption of the constitution, has the ghost of disunion risen before usin so “ palpable a shape’’—never wire politicians, demagogues, fanaties and scheming agitators of discord and revolution so busy and hopeful as now—never have the sober, conservative, reliable, patriotic masses of the people, North and South, been so utterly indifferent to the facts and scenes daily transpiring before their eyes, and all tending to the destruction of the moral, political, sovial and religious ties which bind the several parts of the Union together. Ia reading over the pol extracts which we publish this morning, we look in vain, cept among the Southern whig journ: anything of that wholesome and enlarged of political consistency which, at this ex should animate the good and trusty mea of ali parties. The spoils—the spoils—lie at the bot- tom of all the plans and speculations of all others of our party /ournals—anion or disuaion The leading whig papers of the North are oaly intent upon such a coalition as will command the spoils; and if a junction with all the anti- slavery, socialist ond infidel factions of the day will accomplish the ob‘ect, so be it-— let the South secede. Such is their pro gramme. The Charleston Mercury, tho leading secession organ of the Sonth, calls upon the South to rally for a stern resistance to the anti- slavery movements of the North. All very well; but the prospects of the spoils of a Southern confederacy are improving, and the Mercury hardly attempts to disguise its exulta- tion inconsequence. The Richmond Enquirer, a sort of half-and-half free soil end secession organ of the Cabinet, protests against any june- tion of the democratic party with the Southera whigs, for fear that the latter may come ia for ashare of the spoils. The present democr. party of th: alministration is good enough for such democratic organs as the Angquirer, as long as it commands the spoils. Let the South- ern whigs go elsewhere. The democratic fami- ly is already sufficiently large for the pluader it has won—or the poor whigs may help us if they will; but we can make no terms concara ing the spoils. They are welcome to our pris ciples; but we cannot sacrific ot the plunder. iv will be seen, however, that the whig jour iy of the South are e our mouopoly gener Ny opposed to any p Southern ty, as long the 408 the free soil and ion coali ini And we were prepared for thi the Southern V.

Tt concludes with recomm ndin + o1 o* resolutions directing purification. But wing of the Southern ’emocracy holds the as- cendancy over the party in that quarter, and as th free soil wing holds the spoils in the Nortb, and as both make common cause with the administration, as the head an} front of the preeent na ional democratic party, we may safely conclude that between the Southern whigs and the present dominant democratic or- ganization there neither will nor can be any amalgamation in vi-w of the next Pre-idential campaign. The party prospects, then, for the campaiga of 1856 are—First an overshadowing anti-Ne- braska, anti-slavery Northern party, including the Northern whigs, some democratic free soil- ers, and all the outside abolition, socialist, and inf el factions. Secondly, an independent Southern National Union whig party, which may probably form a ‘unction yet with the na- tional democrats of New York and the North, upon constitutional principles, Thir.!]y, an ad- ministration democratic party, utterly power- less in the North and demoralized in the South. Should the Southern whigs, ignoring all their old, obsolete party issues, lay down a new, consistent, national aod practical Union platform, they may still rally to their support the balance of power, even in the North. Let them, to this end, hold their South- ern conventions, axl take the initiative in the formation of the proposed natioual Union party, and make such arrangements for a national convention of the Union and Constitutional men of all parties as may be deemed expedient in the fulfilment of their plans. The whigs o! the Nerth are hopelessly cut of trom a renuioa with their late brethren of the South. The dominant adzinistration democratic party, up on its present organization and associations, (if they shall continue, as they probably will,) is destined to an ignominious defeat in 15 Neither Nebraska, nor the Gadsden treaty, nor } a war with Spain can save it. The Southern whigs are ins position to com- mana the balance of power. Let them act ac- cordingly, and they may right the ship of State, and defeat the conspirators against the Union, North and South. Tue Reerxy Nvexts at Seanonan.—The ac- count that we published yesterday of the Anglo- American exploit at Shanghae, reads more like an Tliad of the Homeric ages than a sober nar- rative of modern events. We have the same marvellous feats of prowess, the same apo- theoses of favorite heroes, and the same glowing imagery that constitute the classic epic, and we want but the flowing numbers to complete tie resemblance. We have even our Achilles in the person of the American commander, and we are assured by the chronicler of the scene, that in the heat of the battle he appeared to be invested with God-like attributes, his usually small figure dilating into colossal proportions. That our sailors and marines should have seemed demi-godsin the eyes of the imperial- ists is natural enough, for we believe that never hefore were such terrific odds defeated by such a handful of men, and we may well excuse Jack for catching the infection and believing in his own divinity, when we take tie extraordinary character of the achievement into account. Speaking more ously, nothing can more strikingly illustrate the resisiless force by which the Anglo-Saxon race sweeps from be/ore it every obstacle opposed to its progress, thau the events to which we allude. Here have been two armies of Chinese in presence of each other for months, carrying on a system of in effective hostilities, and unable either of them to make the slightest impression upon the position of the other, Some incidental out- rages committed upon the foreign settlement roused the blood of the English and Americans and with a force of only three hundred men against 1en thousand, in little more than an heur they drive the Imperialists from their en- trenchments, and take possession of their forts. Their exclusive system once broken through, what barriers can feeble, enervated barbarians like these oppose to the energy and determina- tion of a race which takes no account of num- bers, and which makes a merit of triumphing ‘over difficulties? They have, hitherto, only found a protection in the moderation and good fecling of the European and Amercian nations; but the time is evidently n at hand when the latter will have to abandon the neutrotity which they have up to the present time ob. served, and to declare themselves for the party with which they are naturally allied by in- terest and sentiment. The events at Shanghae have opportunely arrived to hasten a decision that should have been sooner come to, and our government, as well as that of England, will commit a great political fault, if they are de- terred by any feelings of misplaced delicacy ox squeamishness from profiting by the p favorable conjuncture of circumstances, to make such terms with the insurgents as their countenance, if not their active co-operation, will now enable them to secure. Tue Dirrreviry wren Tae Franca Coxsun av Saw Franctsco —In the state of collapse into which the war excitement has fallen in Fr: the arrest of M. Dillow by the authorities San Francisco, has proved quite a god-send to the Paris newspapers, There are so few sub- jects on which they dare speak out their minds, that topics of this sort are sure to have expend- ed upon them an unusual amount of force and earnestness. We are, therefore, not sur- prised to find these journals filled with com- mentaries and reflections somewhat stronger than the importance of the occasion calls for, and which, although not positively warlike in their tone, yet border closely upon it, In recognizing that the decision of Judge Hoffman was erroneous as regards the legal point involved in the consul's arrest, we have all that. the French govern- ment had a right to expect from us, and Were we to go farther and consent to salute his flag, it would only be establishing a precedent which would render the consular office a shield for violations of international law that conld not for a moment be tolerated in any civilized country. dove “By Avrioriry,” or How %—The little morning organ of the free soil, soft shell ad- ministration democracy, has been virtually read out of Tammany Hall for its abuse of the lris hh Cathot bus still consoles itself uader cover of the administration, and still keeps up a brisk fire against the Hibernians, The Wash- ng 1ys nothing. but yet once more abuse ofour Irish Catholic popu- ton Union & tht ation, by one of the orgat sett, i @ sh, i of the administra- hy authority,” or how?

Col. Benton’s plan for crushing it upon a question of privilege, was instantly overruled. Could not listen to such a noasen- sical proposition, when Santa Anna has gra- ciously , iven us only to the thirtieth, in which ; time we are either to pay the money or let it, alone. And so Old Bullion was reduced to (he | privilege of an hour to speak against 7. bill; and the debate went on, the administ” ation men having resolved to “go it blind” fo’, the treaty, as a proof of their loyalty and d-,yotion to their masters, We have shrwn that there is nothing in this treaty, except the interests of the stockjobbers and speculators concerned. It neither gives us Ei Paso, which commands the southern passage through the Rocky Mountain range, nor the mouth of the Colevade of the Gulf of California, witkout which the free navigation of the gulf is all moonshine. El Paso, or the Pass, and the mouth of the Colorado are still vetsined by Santa Anne for another speculation. We are released from tie eleventh article of the treaty | of Guadelupe Hidalgo, which binds us to pro- tect the Mexican frentiers agaiast the in- vasions of our wild Indiaas, But as we acquire the identical country %s which the plundering expeditions of the Apaches against travellers are chiefly directed, the release is no release at all. We get the Indians with the ter- ritory, and pay’ten millions for the exclusive posression of them. We bay the Apaches of Santa Auna, who releases us ¢vom the duty of fighting them, if we think proper to allow them to murder and plunder our own people with impunity, within our own territory. The House having failed to institute an inves- tigation into the secret-and outside agencies and interests connected with this Gadsden treaty, it is still possible that there are men in the Senate acquainted with the facts, who will have the extra courage and the in/lepen- | dence which seem to Se required for a ivarless ; exposure of the imposition, in plain English, from first to last—irom the original twenty mi lions to the reduced guid pro que of ten mil- lions. There is otherwise a fair prospect that instead of reducing ‘the revenues to deplete the treasury, Guthrie will be compelled to ask a loan to meet deficiencies before the adjourn- | | ment of the next session. The’ Gadsden treacy opens the treasury and lets the spoilsmen in. Having no assurance of power beyond their present term, it is evidently the policy and the purpose of the administration and its partizans in Congress to clean out the treasury while they can. The tarifi’ project for reducing the revenues is a humbug—a trick for pulling wool over the eyes of the innocent people. The game is the spoils, and all that can be had.

ADVERTISING THE PROCEEDINGS ‘The mixority of the Committeo on Printing submittel a lengthy report, which was ordered to be laid on the anxious respecting the policy of the soft shell and the hard shell democracy upon the Nebraska question. It has discovered that Nebraska has split the hards into two factions, cach of which will probably run a candidate for Governor; bat is very fearful that the softs will also explode at their Syracuse convention into two or three littie cliques, if the administration shall insist upon making Nebraska the Shibboleth of good stand- ing in the orthodox church. Now we have just one word of advice for our anti-Nebraska, free soil poets of the Post. Mr. Benjamin F. Butler has declared that he would rather vote for Seward for President than for Judge Douglas. He has thus probably indicated the course which the Post itself intends to pursue. If, therefore, our neighbors of the Post are only desirous of being on the strong side in Novem- ber, they had better go over to the Seward inte- restatonce. We should not be atall surprised, iffrom the demoralizing spoils policy of the ad- ministration and other merely incidental causes, the New York democrats, of both factions, were to be entirely excluded from the next Congress and the next Legislature, leaving not a solitary man to tell the tale of the wrongs of the hard shells, or the sufferings of the softs, at Albany or at Washington. Such are the signs of the times.
