In another part of this paper our readere will find a high}y interesting leading article from the New Orleans Delia (the contidential organ of Jeffer- son Davis), touching the prospects and policy of Mr, Buchanan's administration. We have here the Southern disauioa programme for the Presi- dent elect, a@f the platform of the democratic sarty for the campaign of 1860, very clearly and frankly defined. It is simple, yet “broad and general as the casing air.’ ft is nothing more nor less than the tremendous expedient ef bury- ing our domestic agitations upon the slavery question in the overwhelming excitementa of a general filibustering foreign war. The necessities demanding some desperate ex- periment of this sort for the purpose of restoriag he shattered fortunes of the democratic party, are very forcibly put by our New Orleans cotem- porary. We are told that the retention of the go- vernment for eight couseeutive years by the de- mocracy will only serve to consolidate the op- position forces—that the secret of Mr. Buchanan's success in the four Northern States which he bas carried will be discovered to the prejudice of the South when they shall approach in the next Coa- gress the question of admitting Kansas as a slave State—that the South will find it difficult, if not impossible, to bring Kansas as @ slave State into the Unsioe—and “ the day Mr. Buchanan signs @ bill to that effec, if ever passed, his party will be dead and buried at the North.” True as gospel, every word of it; but what then? It is just at this critical point of life or death that Mr. Jefferson Davis comes forward with his grand scheme for saving Mr. Buchanan, for rebuilding the democratic party, and for making the South impregnable again-t Northern aggressions, Mr. Davis flatly tells Mr. Buchanan that “old exploded expedients will not do;” “that a labo- rions do-nothing policy,” and “a foreign cireum- locution office” are not up to the mark; but that they ‘will sink his administration at the end of four years lower than did plummet ever sound.” On the other hand, if Mr. Buchanan “shall direct the energies of the government to where the Os- tend letter points,’ “towards the tropics, towards Cuba, Nicaragua and Mexico, he will succeed.” He is admonished that “he owes his election to the South,” and that “he will be a traitor, and"is- sensible to every manly: feeling of gratitude, if he forgets” this fact, “and the obligations it im- plies.” Here the argument, the warning and the threat all go together. First, the party is upon its last legs, and its desperate case requires a desperate remedy—that remedy ie not Kansas asa slave State, for that prescription will kill the patient outright without some more powerful counter-irritation. But let Mr. Buchanan get up a filibustering descent upon Cu- ba, “and wrest it from Spain, if we have the power;” “let him fortify Walker in Nica- Tagua and forestall Spanish and French deaigas upon Mexico,” “regenerate Central America,’”’ and emancipate “the West Indies from the infa- mous free negroism established by the enemies of American republicanism,” and his administra- tion will be wound up in a universal blaze of democratic glory. But let him shrink, let him forget that he has been elected by the South, and what he owes the digunion agitators of the South, and they plumply tell him that he shall dic the death of a traitor. Such are the terms of peace which Mr. Jeffer- son Davis and his Southern disunion faction offer to Mr. Buchanan—such is their notable scheme for covering up the Kansas issue, and for re- building the broken fortunes of a demoralized and expiring party. Prudent and conservative men, however—patriotic and Union loving men, of all parties, and of all sections—will be apt to shrink from this formidable programme of fili- bustering spoliation and foreign war, which alone, we are told, is competent to save the new administration, or the party supporting it, from absolute annibilation. A maritime war against England, France and Spain would unquestion- ably rally the he American people to the support of the administration, but the issues of such a war to our commerce, to the exposed South, to the institution of slavery, and to the party in power, lie beyoud the range of human calculation, Above all, what acquisitions, what glory, what strength, at home or abroad, could we expect from a ge- neral world-wide naval war brought upon us from a diagraceful filibustering attempt to “wrest the island of Cava from Spain, if we have the power?” No! a thousand times,no! This is not the policy of Mr. Buchanan—this is mot the way of safety and success to his administration and his party, but the broad highway to destruction. If he can acquire the island of Cuba through honest negotiations, good. The North will cheerfully consent and contribute to the acquisi- tion. But we must bide our time; and if the filibustering experiments at Madrid and Ostend under poor Pierce, have postponed the golden opportunity, we must still consent to bide our time. The unsullied honor of a nation like this ie worth a thousand Cabas. But how, then, is Mr. Buchanan to avoid the finishing blow which his party will receive in the North from the day that he signs « Will admitting Kansas into the Union as a slave State? and how is he to elevate his administration from the low level of poor Pierce, and restore the desperate fortunes of the sinking democracy ° ‘The answer to these questions is our object in view. This Southern disunion faction, Jefferson Davis, Slidell, Wise, Toombs, Johnson of Georgia, Senator Mazon, Butler, Brooks, Atchison, R. J. Walker and Company, must be cut adrift, This of all the troubles and disasters of poor Pierce | and the democracy under his truckling and imbe- | cile admin on. tet Mr. Buchanan, then, | cut theese disorganizing disunton agitators adrift | and commence bis great work practically, in thy this they he been devouring him, devouring ach other, disgracing the country and destroying onetraction of hie Cabinet upon the basis 0° great principles, and notupon small men or petty | | fnctions, and half his task will be done.

We dare say, with all the efforta that have been made to slacghter, burn, torment and starve the free State settlers out of Kapsas by Mr. Atchison, Mr. Pierce and their confederates, official and border rafiiaa, that at this day, upon a fair and honest census, nineteen-twentieths of the legal veters of Kan by right of settlement would be found to be f State men, Mr. Buchanan, then, has only to fupersede Mr. Pierce's ruffian sovereigaty by tue law of popular sovereignty, honestly admiais- tercd in order to secure the admission of Kansas us a free State: and this act, thue achieved, will demolish the republican party and give the de- mocracy its ancient supremacy in New York and he North. Jn a word, the repudiation ef the Southern disunionists will kil off that disorganizing jaction in the Seuth, and an honest adminis- ration of the Kansas Nebraska law, by making Kansas a free State, will break up the repub- licam party of the North and resvore the de- mocrecy to their ancient power. Thus, North and South, upen the simple merits of the coa- stitution, the laws aud the Unioa, and the righta of ali the States and all the people, these aigyer agitators, North and Soata, will be silenced, aud we shall have another “era of good feeling,” as under James Monroe. Sneb is our expectation; otherwise the fate of poor Pierce, tentold maz- nified, will be the fate of Mr. Buchanan. Tne Lare Mamie Disasrer—Conpvor ov Or- rickks aT Spa.—One of the most painfal tasks which can devolve to the lot of the journalist is that of commensing upon the conduct of men placed in circumstances of danger and embar- rassment like those which attended the loss of the French steamer Le Lyoanais. The bravest minds ina catastropue like that are apt to low their balance and to consult the instinct of seli- preservation rather than that of duty. We hare had occasion but too frequently of late years to call in question the conduct of men thas cireum- stanced, and we are but too happy to be able to signalize the rare instances in which the com- manders of vessels have been found eqaal to the difficulties in which they have been placed. Oae of the most creditable examples of this sort is certainly that of Captain Devanls, the captain of the ill fated French vessel whose loss has just been recorded. Throughout the whole of the trying cireumstances of the disaster which befell his ship, he never once lost his coolness and sel! possession, giving his orders with all the calm- Proposky Mvyicirat Rerorws.—Now that the republicans have secured a working majority in both branches of the State Legislature, we understand that they are getting up some new municipal reforms, so called; which, under the mask of reducing our taxes and remedying some of the evils of our present charter, will have the eflect to oust all those who have recently been elected to office for the coming year. We hear that Mr. Oakey Hall is drawing a new charter, that some one else is cooking up a new police Jaw, and tbat still another scribe is drafting a registry law, all to be submitted to the Legisla- ture, which mects at Albaoy in January next. We certainly need a new charter and new in- stitutions for the government of our city. The developements of corruption in high places which are appearing every day, and the awful conduct of the Corporation in endea- yoring to stifle inquiry apd compound with crime, are waking the people up to the necessity of a radical and deep rooted change in the man- ner of conducting our municipal affairs. We learn, however, that the proposed new charter is a half and half miserable party ruse, not embrac- ing those reforms in the organic structare of the city government which are positively necesary io place the executive responsibility where it properly belongs. One of these so-called re- furms proposes to place the control of the po- lice in the hands of five commissioners. This would be adding insult to injury, and giving the department a worse shape than ever. What we want is a city government constracted on the principle that obtains in every well rege- Jated community—that is, a chief magistrate who shall possess the executive power and appoint the heads of departments, who shall be responsi - bie to him and throughbim to the people, and the Aldermen and Councilmen to have the legislative power. It is the simplest thing in the world, and we will have it, sooner or later. With euch a charter we could elect a chief magistrate who would undertake to reduce the taxes and give us a good city government. Without, we shall be no better off than we now are. Tur Usroxs Ferry Comrayy anp Tae Resi- DENTS oF Brooxiys.—The late alterations in the tolls of the Union Ferry Company continue to excite a good deal of dissatisfaction and grumb- ling on the part of the residents of Brooklyn.

Reluctant as we are to right? A subscription amongst a dozen patriotic impute blame where the full facts are not before | individuals would soon test the question; and, us, it is impossible for us to avoid arriviag at the conclusion that Captain Durham manifested an indifference and carelessness in connection with the accident, which tell badly both for his jud- mentand heart. From the statements before us, it isevident that he could not have been ignorant that a collision of a serious nature had taken place. The fact of his hailing aud calling to the steamer io lay to after the shock, shows that such mast have been the impression on his mind. Had he been fully alive to the responsibilities of his position, the mere circumstance of the disappoar- ance of the steamer’s lights would not have prov- ed a sufticient justification for him to hold on hie course. There are few sailors who are ignorant of the dangers of «collision of this kind, and Captain Durham, finding hie own vessel intact, was bound to look to the safety of the other. THis culpability in not doing so is aggravated by the negligence which marked his condact in not re porting the accident immediately after reaching Gloucester, His vessel arrived on the 4th, and from that time until the evening of the 13th, when the news of the disaster reached this city, no proper report was made of it, so as to enable | assistance to be sent out to the shipwrecked pa» sengers and crew. The oaly comment that we can trust ourselves to make on these facts is thas they exhibit a fatuity and absence of common humanity on the part of the captain of the Adri- | atic, which are happily not the usual character- | istics of American sailors. The circumstances attending this disaster im- press upon us the expediency of acting upon the suggestions of Lieutenant Maury as to the adop- tion of different routes for outward and home- ward voyages. Tad this system bocn in force for the last few years, the accidents to the Arctic, the Lyonnais and numerous other vessels would have been avoided. We donot see why a precaution so essential in ordinary locomotion should not be found equally advantageous at sea. In one view of the case, we have the occurrence of numerous casualties from the non-existence of disorganizing disunion faction lies at the bottom | the eystem; in the other, we have as yet to learn the corious objections that can be urged against it. Another suggestion which we would recom- mend to the consideration of the profession is this: The damage done to the Lyonnais was caused by the fluke of the anchor of the Adriatic, as it hung suspended over the bows of the latter. it was the come circumstance, it will be reool- lected, which cnused the loss of the Arctic. Can no other plan be devised for stowing away the aachor, 0 as to prevent its offering so certain « means of destruction to vessels coming in colli- candidate for Secretary of the in Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet. If Corcoran is to be mentioned for such a post, we should like to suggest a name or two, say George Peabody or Belmont; or we might nomi- nate the Chevalier Maretzek, who has shown the highgst financial ability. He is continually being | ’ cier, is a indeed, considering the heavy penalties to which the company subject themselves in case of re- sistance, we apprehend that the mere threat of a suit would be suficient to bring them to terms. This would be a more sensible and practical plan than trying to establish impossible corporation ferries, with all the prestige of corporate efft- ciency and corporate honesty in their direction. Whilst we are on this subject we should be glad to have some explanation of the conduc of the company in regard to the Roosevelt strect ferry. We understood that they were desirous of giving up the lease of this ferry if they could get a fair price for their boats and fixtares, We have heen told that there are a number of ro- sponsible individuals who are ready to take it eff their hands with a Lonus,’on a fair valuation, but that this offer has been refused, and such a price fixed upon them as renders the bargain unde- sirable. 1f this be the fact, the company are play- ing a fast and Yoose game with the public, which cannot but end badly for their interests. Tux Prestoentiat Parnoxace is New York. —The Richmond Enguirer, in the course of its | daily regulation of sublanary affairs, has lately undertaken to relieve Mr. Buchanan of the daty of distributing the public patronage, and among other noveltics has directed the President elect to evince his sense of displeasure at the majority of over 200,000 against him in this State, by re- fusing any loaves and fishes to the ardent but unsuccessful democrats of New York. Under such circumstances, it is hard to say which is the fitter object of pity—the politicians who are driven from their platter, or the President who is treated like a schoolboy. When the real business of the distribution of the federal offices arrives, Mr. Buchanan will fiad himself considerably embarrassed by New York. He bas two examples before him. Mr. Polk. finding the party divided in this State, divides! the offices also, and gave to cach in proportion to its numbers. The consequence was the utter dis- integration of the party here, and the wretohod finale of the Presidential term. Mr. Pierce, act- ing on a somewhat similar plan, went upon the idea that, having received the votes of all demo- | crafs alike, it did not devolve upon him to inves- | tigate old quarrels; he therefore divided his pat- | sonage between the two factions, and tried to fase them. The consequence is before us; no enemy of the democracy could have wished them a worse fate, With these warnings to gnide him, Mr. Buchanan will undertake the distribution. We | happen to know that #0 far from listening to the foolish talk of the Lnjuirer about men who are in their political graves, he will, in the first place, apply the principle that where there are factions in a State, the President should cscertain which has the popalar majority, and wholly disregard the weaker one. With this principle he will dis- cover that the Wood faction is the real democra- ey, and the Hotel faction, of which Libby, | MeKeon, Dillon and others are the chiefs, is a | mere knot of rebels to be crushed by sharp mea- sures, Bat it is understood that this weaker faction can prove that they have contributed more money and a great deal more to the election in Ponneylronia than thyir rivals.
