We heve advices ‘from Aspinwall to the 3d inst. Some of owr republican anti-slavery journals, stunned by these late tremendous blows from the Supreme Court, are counselling an organized re- sistance. But that is folly; for resistance against the constitutional and final expositions of the Court settle the slavery question for Mr. Bu- chanan, and mark out his course. He has only to follow the path indicated, asi in doing #0 he will be fully and freely sustained by the country: Resurrection oF Ovp Viremma—A Bust From an Inpiaxant Eprror.—“Old Virginia nebber tire” is the refrain of ome of the gems of Ethiopian minstrelsy, which called forth from a sarcastic traveller the rejoinder—“No wonder, she never does the least thing in the world to tire her!” In addition to this chronic laziness, it ap- pears from the ravings of our amtable friend of the South Side Democrat—which we have pub- ‘ished in another part of the paper—that a cer- tain party of these never tiring Old Virginians are resolved not to allow any one else to do any- thing within their borders; but that their lands are to Mie in waste, their mines to remain unwork- ed, all their great natural advantages to continue latent, and everything to go to ruin in the good old Virginia style. Our South Side friend “disagrees with Ben- nett,” which is unfortunate, but admits that the resources of the State are not being developed with that rapidity which is desirable. The chief objection is to Mr. Thayer and his title of Hono- rable, which our South Side cotemporary will find has been gained in the usual way—Mr. Thayer having been elected to a seat in the Thirty-fifth Congress, Without doubt he will be quite as honorable as Matteson or any of the others, and perhaps more eo. The chief point is that Mr. Thayer and his friends are to be hanged 4 la Haman—Governor Wise is to come down upon them like the Assyrian of old—they are to be cut off like Pharaoh and his hosts; and finally, Mr. Thayer is to be met at Phillippi by the editor of the Democrat. Our South Side cotemporary will do well tosharpen his sword and polish up his rifle. At the same time he may as well keep his eye open, and remember that Haman, who had believed himeelf the favorite of the adminis- tration of Ahasuerus, was himself hanged upon the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai. He may make up his mind that Mr. Thayer and those who are associated with him will buy lands in Virginia in the regular way; that they will settle upon them, improve them, and that it will be the duty of Gov. Wise to protect them in their rights of person and of property should they b2 assailed. If Governor Wise is found remiss iu discharging his duties, they will call upon the fe- deral government for that protection guaranteed by the constitution. Our valiant friend, who crows 80 lustily, need not be quite so ‘‘ impatient for the fray.” The grand point is, however, reserved for the last. Why, we are asked, do we not regenerate the slums of the great cities at the North, where poverty and crime go hand in hand? That is precisely what this immigration movement is in- tended to effect The gront cities at the North have an overplus of population. and the price of manual labor is thereby reduced. Nearly al) crimes against property flow from this cause, and we intend to open the rich lands of Virginia to the ill-paid laborers who suffer from “the dismal, damp want which infests the Northern cities.” It is intended to make a) these poor people re- spectable, industrious, thriving, clean, well ven- tilated agriculturiste—each sitting under his vine and fig tree, to which he will have as equal a right and as indisputed a title as any of the firet Virginia families to the first Virginia planta- tions. We must, however, have a little charity for our amiable contemporary, whose mighty soul frets against the prison bars ofa little village, when he had expected to direct the destinies ot the repub- lic by grinding the official organ at Washington. He is a rejected applicant for the office of organ grinder to the new administration—he is not deemed worthy to preside at that splendid in- strument, which has eo many steps and plays #0 many «irs; but he must still grind away atbis little penny concern, which can only play the eam tune over and over again. That sort of grinding mey answer for a few small peliticians; but it will not grind the corn, the wheat, the tobacco from some of the richest lands on the face of the earth—it will not open the railways, naviga‘e the rivers, rake out the oysters, catch the fish, dig the canals, mine the veins of coal and iron pay the debts of old Virginia, and pour the dol- lars into the laps of her never tiring sons.) No! we must have some other tunes for that practical hard, every day work. It is purposed to intro. duce some variations into the old Virginia music and all the small organ grinders will find it vaio to attempt reristance. They would do better to receive Mr. Thayer with the hoepitality for which the Old Dominion was so celebrated years ago, and feed bim on their fattest oysters, Cress THE Streets.—Some few weeks ago, after Broadway bad been partially cleared of the winter enow, we tuggested the propriety of re moving the filth which had collected in the principal avenue during the previous three months—about that time having expired since Mr. Ebling “ laid down the shovel and the hoe,” and gezed with calm satisfaction at the perilous voyages of his victims through seas of mud and oceans of slush. A spasmodic attempt to clean Broadway was made, and the Russ pavement appeared after a protracted absence. Since that time we have had some bad weather, and the streets are in a worre condition than ever. Is it pertinent to inquire—as the streets are rarely cleaned, and the appropriation is always ex- hausted long before the official year expires— what becomes of the money’? What becomes of the Commiesioner during the winter months, when even the city property remains covered with ice, snow, mud and slush’? Ie he, like a bear, torpid, and does he only wake up just be- fore election day ?—or, if he is remiss, where is the Board of Health? We must have the streets cleaned by eomebody.

Parry at Arzs- wy.—It appeers that matters are not moving a8 smoothly at Albany se certain leaders in the dominant party had hoped, and that neither the measures nor the appointments ef the Executive proceed with the alacrity or the docility to party dictation which were expested. It ecems, ins word, that Governor King is not turning out the tool he wns nanmed to be; and that thé Albany leaders, Weed, Seward, and the ethers, do not find it quite as easy to twist him round their fin- ger se they had trusted they would. They are sigh- ing for the mild rule of Mr. Clark, when they had everything their own way, and could make 9 good thing out of the disposal of the Gubernato- rial sppointments, To those who know the antecedents of the par ‘ies there is nothing at all surprising in this early divergence of views between the Gevernor and the Seward whig leaders, Whatever may have | been the opinions of the leading members of the | King family, in olden times, one quality cannot be denied them: their integrity was always as spotless as the purest maiden’s chastity. The Kings might be anything you please, in respect of party; but they were sure to be men of honor. This hereditary virtue still characterises the pre- sent Governor ot th®State. Now, if there be a distinguishing characteristic of the Seward and Weed factions, it is the utter corruption and want of principle of the leaders, Their impecuniosi- ty is proverbial. They care for nothing bat money. All their political principles are adopt- ed in view of office or spoils. Their highest aim is a canal contract, or stock in one of the great railway monopolies, oran office which will enable them to bleed the public or individuals, Such being the character of the Governor and of the clique by which he is surrounded, collision was inevitable the moment they came into contact: That collision, it is understood, has taken place, and the corrupt politicians are aghast at the rymptome of firmness and independence shown by Governor King. The people of the State, we are eure, will be very glad to hear that, for once, the Governor isa man who may venture to do his own thinking, and not only to decline being hawked through the streets of Albany by the Weed politicians, buteven to see to it personally that hie authority is exer- cised for a beneficial and honest purpose. Suck a man in these later times, is quite a phenomenon: the Gevernors of the party which elected Go, King have been long used to figure as mere pup- pets in the hands of the Albany Journal cliqz Ht will be instructive to note the manner in which Governor King will deal with the con- templated legislation of the Seward and Weea politicians in reference to this city. Of course he willeasily be able to satisfy himself that the object sought in the various measures which are intended to transform the government of the city is merely the aggrandizement of the party leaders, and the gratification of personal ambition and party feeling at the expense of the well being and safety of the people of this city. The least study of the set of acts now in pro grees will make that apparent. It is confidently believed by persons who have had opportunities of becoming acquainted with Mr. King’s private character that he is not the man to allow himselt to be used for any such purpose, and that the bills will not become laws by any act of his unless their tenor is materially changed. How this is. we chell gonn see: meanwhile. the news of the Governor's firmness, integrity, and independence will be good news to every one. Apwrsistration or CrimmaL Jvstice.—We have frequently been obliged to criticise with some severity the mal-adminietration of crimina justice in this city, especially in the lower courts So lax bad some of the Judges become that they were presented and indicted by the grand in quest of the county, and it had become a grave question in the minds of many liberal men whether or not the system of electing Judges ought to be abolished. During all this time crime was steadily on the increase; and to read the daily accounts of assaults, robberies, garrot ings, and so forth, a stranger would have svpposed that he was sojourning in a camp of savages instead of a city presumed to be free and enlightened. But since Mr. Justice Ruseell has taken his place on the bench of the Sersions as City Judge, a marked change is no- ticeable. He has discharged his duties with promptness, impartiality and dignity. “It is « hard thing,” said a convict to a celebrated Eag- lich jurist, “to hang a man for stealing a horse.” “You are not,” returned the Judge, “to be hang- ed for stealing a horse: you are to be hanged that no more horses will be stolen.’ This is the whole theory of criminal law in an epigram. Io his severe sentences against the convicted garro- ters, Judge Russell has recognized the force of the theory. A man ie not sentenced to the State prison for life because he robbed another of a few dollars, but in order that no more persons shall euffer in a similar way. Judge Russell ha» also been prompt. At Special Sessions he dis pored of seventy cases in one day. He does not allow the cases to linger slong until the accused slips out on straw bail, and is unheard of till he is brought to the bar charged with some fresh crime. The effect of all this action on the part of a single Judge, in lese than three months, is ap- parent in the dimunition of crime, and the greater seourity of our streets at night. The gar- roters have a wholesome terror of the law when properly administered, and have therefore sus- pended their operations for the present. It were well if all our Judges were as prompt as Abra- ham D. Ruseell. 2in Ws Boyn's Lacrrrae st Ounton Bai —This even tog Sir Wm.

Central America was discussed. Tne Dallas-Clarendon treaty was considered objectionable in many poinis of view, andcondemned. A new treaty will be proposed, and Hegotiations to that end will be opened with Lord Napier. ‘The administration is not disposed to don the old clothes, breeohes and all, that Marcy bas left behind him.

The Dallas treaty, therefore, may be regarded as defunct. ‘The principle of rotation in office wnderwent dis sussion yesterday by the Cabinet. The Southern members are opposed to it, but they mantfested a ready desire to con ciliate Northern semtim: nt on this important point. After much discussion it was finally agreed that the principle of rotation should be carried out, save in certain cases, where great finess and good service, or strong party claims, justified exception. The President received tho New York delegation yesterday. Seven members against two (Cochrane and Ward) expressed a desire that the President should rotate the preseat incumbents out and GU up with new men. The President signified his willing- ness to do so, but stated that Mr. Redfield had talked s great deal of resigning, yet had not dane #0 in 9 formal way; on the contrary, he had been informe: Cotleoter’s desire to hold on till the end « quarter.
