NEW YORK HERALD ‘Who are our Governors! Who Swell our City ‘Taxes!—Review of the Almshouse Admin- tetration. ‘There ix a yroat deat of delusion ameng our people in regard to the government of our city. Whether at mass meetings in Wall street or in Tompkins square, an aqual degree of ignorance would seem to prevail as to who in reality are our governors. Our citicons do not seem to realize the fact that we are now living under a new and reformed system, by which the o!d municipal method has been practically superseded. The hungry mobe in Tompkins square and the money mobs ia Wall street clamor about the Mayoralty and the City Council with asingular forgetfulness of the parties who are ex- elusively responsible both tothe pauper and to the tax ayer. Our provident Stato Logisiature has, in fact, yeare since taken this thing also out of the control of the gid fashioned city officials. We have commissioners or- manizad to take exclusive charge of tho city disburse: mente for our paupers and prisoners, as we have for dis- sbarging nearly all the other regular functions of our mu- aicipal government. The odd jobs and other irregular mat ters which cannot be anticipated, necessarily remain im the conirol of the City Council; the regulation of carts and care of the dog pound coxtinue to devolve upon the Mayor; but the real governors of the city—those who make up the bulk of the annual budgete for the Comp- trolier's tax levy—are the various Boards of Commission. ers organized by the State Legislature, and only responsi- Die to that body as to apy revision of their acts or scruti- ny of their vouchers. The anticipated distresses of the approaching winter have elicited plane and opinions frou every quarter as to how the gross oppression of the tax payers of this city sball be allevisted in view of a due regard for the increased necessities of the poor, In die midst of the very praise- wortby anxiety which prevails on this subject, perhaps ‘the Board of Ten Governors of our Almshouse manifest more calmness in the matter than any other of the parties eoncerned, In response to the recent resolution of the Oty Council requesting the speedy organization of the fasual temporary winter visiters of the poor, the Gover- pers have waked up tothe possible need of some extra effort, and sent inan extra requisition for $50,000 to be @wtributed among the out door poor of the city, It was uta faw days previous that their annual buiget was rendered for $605,000, in which a retrenchment of $115,000 is indicated; but no mention is made of the probable increase of the oat-door poor of the city this ear. A resolution of the Board, accompanying ths Cedeet. saysi— The Board have always Telt that they have fatthiutly performed the trast reposed in them, and never before have they deemed it necessary to exercise wuch severe economy us is nOW apparent should govern @very department in the city, abe! to aid im preserving the value of property, which must nevitabiy be seriously de- Precated, without a great redeu.ion in the expenses of the government.” timay be weil to glance at the doings of the Board since its organization, with a view to satisfy the public in their present scrutiny of our municipal expenditares. In 1849, the Ten Governors of the Aigishouse were estab lsbea. Their prececessor—the old Municipal Aumshouge Commissioner—made his lust report /or 1848, presenting the resu.t of his duings forthe wiuter of 1847-'48, when, it witt be remembered, a great increase of distress was oc- tasioned by t bard times,” causing » propurtlonate enlargem:nt of expenditure for the department. Afier ® cau paigu on the part of the old whigs of that day, simi lar to that in last years Legislature, the new Board was organized under Kimeon Draper; and with a grand fo.ri-h, the fag of retrenchment and reform was nailed to their masthead.

TRODADTR MURDER OF A NINDR WAKD POLICEMAN— A MIDMONT RIOT AND ITS RFFECTS—ANOTHER MARDENBROOK AVFATR—ARRFST OF ROGKAS AND SEVERAL OF THE ALLEGED RIOTERS. The spirit of rowdyism which bas been go rampant of late, shows no signs of having died outgon the contrary, every day adds to the number of victims to the lawless spirit that is abroad in thecommunity, Oneef the last ex- ploits of ruffianism is the beating of a Ninth ward policeman, named Horatio Sanger, while in the discharge of his duty, and there is every reason to believe that he will die from the effects of his injuries. The circumstances connected With this case are as follows:—Abdout 2 o'clock on Sunday mornwg & gang of Irish laborers and hodmen, some seven in number, and all inebriated, entered the oyster and liquor saloon No. 220 Bleecker street, and called for re- freshments, They first asked for oysters; aud after having dispoved of those, called for liquor, which, being furnished them, they drank, and attempted ¢o leave the premises without paying their bill. Upon this the bar- keoper, Wiliam Donaldson, well known as @ negro min- strel, remonstrated with the fellows, and insisted upon payment, They uot only refused, but began to show fight, and ove of them buried a at the barkeeper, whule the others began s! the furniture and de- canters. Donald-ou, who is a largo, poworful man, imme- diately attacked the fellews, and knocked several of them down in short order. The waiters and.other persons in the saloon aiso lent their assistance, and for a time the room Was ascene of wild excitement. While the fight was raging two of the Ninth ward _ police: men, oflicers Sanger and Woolf—beard the noisegpud cume to the sceve ofthe disturbance. As the rules of the Departmeut forbid them to enter any house until they are called in, the policemen remained outside for a short time, when the door was opened, and one Michael Rogers was run outin the street by Donaldson, who, oy seeing the officers, asked their assistance. They promply did what was asked of them. Officer Sanger seized Rogers, and officer Woolf entered the saloon and attempted to quiet the rivters, oue of whom, named Peter Bryan, be wok prisoner. After being some two minutes ‘the saloon, be was leaving with his prisoner, when he ‘missed his comrade, but on reaching the sidewaik he was horrified ¢o find officer Sanger laying across the gutter weltering in his blood, and, as he supposed, dead. Alarm. ‘was coon given, and the unfortunate policeman was borne to his home, No. 128 Perry street, and a physician called. It was found that a psyen ui blow—probably with his owa club—had broken his skull, and another bad heen given him across the eyes. Up to late last evening the unfor- tunate policeman had not recovered his consciousness, and the physician in attendance has no hopes of his reco’ very. A violent inflammation has set in, which must soon end his life. It is impossible to tell how officer Sanger was assaulted, or by whom. When officer Woolf entered the saloon he heard Rogers exclaim angrily, Let go my collar,”’ and itis supposed that in an unguarded moment the prisoner #renched the club from the hand of the po- liceman, and then dealt him a heavy blow across the head and another across the eyes, and then fled, leaving the unfortunate policeman to fall heavily to the ground. Whether Rogers had any accomplices it is impossible to tell, as no one saw the blow, and the officer has been in- sensible since he was struck. The club is of rosewood and bad traces of blood upon it. After seeing to officer Sanger, officer Woolf proceeded to the station house with his prisoner, Peter Bryan, when one of the drunken companions of the latter, named Joel Keenan, atempted tw resene him in B e.cker street, but the officer was too much for the rioter, and arrested him also, and took both prisoners to the station house, where they were locked up for the night, and taken before Justice Flandreau in the morning, who committed them for trial. Acting Inspector Sebring, of the Ninth precinet, with his officers, was actively em- ployed all day yesterday in hunting up Rogers, but with out effect. The only person who knew him was Keenan, and he did not know where be lived. The Eighth ward and Fifteenth ward police also exerted themselves to tnd ‘the alleged culprit, as the brutad assault on officer Sanger created ihe utmost excitement ainong the policemen. The Ninth ward police succeeded, after mach search, in urrest- ing two of the rioters of the preceding night, viz: Patrick Toner and Mark Conway. They wore stupidly drunk when arrested, yesterday, and unable to give any account of the fracas’ of the preceding night. Officer Horatio Sanger bas been over eight years in the department; he is nearly fifty years of age, and has a wife and family, Michael Rogers, bis supposed assailant, is a stout, thick set Irishman, about thirty years of age, and a hodiman by ‘8, whom the Ninth ward police supposed wee the person who assaulted officer Sanger, was arrested yesterday afternoon in Hamersley street, where be re- sides. Rogers was taken to the station house, and not only denies being the person who freed himself from the wounded policeman by assault, but moreover told a very straight story about his connection with the affair. He was with the party in the oyster saloon on the night in question, but denies that he quarretled with any one, and affirms that he was uot arrested, but went quietly home. The circumstances ali bear strongly against Rogers, but it is possible that the real culprit may have escaped. The povice are busily at work endeavoring to arrest the rest of the rioters, but beyond the five whose names are given above no arrest was made up to 12 o'clock lart night. At the same hour last vight officer San- ger was reported very low, and not likely to live through Ue might.” Hils friends hid given up all opes of bis ving. A FOURTH WARD POLICEMAN CRUELLY BEATEN BY THIEVES. About 11 o'clock on Saturday night, as officer Charles Homan, of the Fourth ward, was patrolling his beat in Dover street, he obgerved four men dragging along a heavy sack. He called to them, and asked what they had there, when the thieves, for such they proved to be, set | upon the policeman, pulled his club from his hand, and | beat him unmereifully. | stamped upon bim, and one of them was about to cut his After knocking him down, they threat with a knife, when his companions stopped him.

He was then taken to bis home, xthavenue, His wounds are not considered danger- ous, Itecems the thieves stole several bags of pepper. The owners of this pepper were so negligent as to leave some thirty sacks of it on the sidewalk. The policemen took it to the station house, where it awaits the demands Of its careless owners, ANOTHER STAUBING CASE IN AN OYSTER SALOON— MORE ROWDYISM. Abont one o’clock on Sunday morning, a gang of men ster saloon No, 24 Tenth avenue, and after ordering refreshments refused to pay for them. On the proprietor demanding his money, the ruffians commenced an indiscriminate assault upon all in the room. They smashed the furniture, broke the decanters, and stoned the premises. A man named John Downey, who was in the room, was stabbed in the face with afork, in the hands, as he alleges, of Edward Carroll, Terance Gillespie, hevalso states, also asnaulted thom. — Four of the riot were arrested, and sterday brought before Justi him conveys ficiently to Flandrean, of the Je m Market Police Court, who held Carroll and Gillespie to tail inthe sum of $1,000 each, and Joveph Gardiner and Peter Fay for the sum of $500 each. ARKEST OF TIE SUPPOSED ASSATLANTS OF DR. MOTT. The police succeeded yesterday tn arresting two persons whom they charge with being engaged in the assault on Dr. Mott on Friday morning last. One of the prisoners, who gave his name as Timothy Ma was arrested in the Fleventh ward, and the other, I the Seventeenth ward, There is no evidence against the prisoners, further than a strong suspicion on the part of The two men were committed by Justice Examination of the Normal Schools.

The coun- se] of the prisoner assures us that this could not be the case, as Begian had made up his mind two weeks before the trial to enter the plea of guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court, The conduct of the persons, moreover, who attacked Dr. Mott showed that their ob- ject was not assassindtion,"but robbery. is a na tive of this city, but 20 years of age, and is paid to be re- spectably connected.

Firg in Front StReeT—Drstrvcrion OF A TEA STORR— Toss anovt $75,000.—Shortly after 6 o'clock on Sunday morning a fire broke out in the four story brick building No. 80 Front street, occupied by Bucklin & Crane, impor- ters of teas, When the deors were broken open a great body of fire seemed to be on the first and secoud floors. ‘The immense volume of smoke prevented the firemen from getting an effective stream on the flames until the beams burnt away and let the roof down. The building and stock will be pretty much a total loss. Mr. Bucklin states that he had a stock of teas amounting to about $76,000, fully covered by insurance in city companies. The origin of the fire is at present unknown. The adjoin- ing store, No. 82, occupied by Archibald Henderson, dealer in teas; his stock was removed by the insurance patrol; there will be but little damage to it. J. & R.

THE COMMISSIONERS ARE CUT OFF WITH A SHILLING The following report was made by the Jndiciary Com- mittee to the Board of Supervisors of Westchester county on the 16th inst :— ‘The undersi tion of the , to whom was referred the communica fetropolitan Police Commissioners, requiring the levying and raising of $2,635 81 in the county of Westchester, towards defraying the expenses of such Yolice Commissioners, respectfully represent, that they have carefully considered the said communication, and have exemined in relation thereto the act entitled “an act to establish a —— district,’ &e., and espe- Cally the 26th section thereof, which is particularty re- ferred to by the said Commissioners as that authorizing them to make this apportionment, and under which their claim is made. Your committee insiet that this section confers upon your board neither obligation por power to levy and col- lect any sum of money in the county of Westcbester; but that the only tax there authorized is a tax upon the real om! personal property taxable within New York and recklyn, for which cities this police act was doubtless 8 intended. ‘The Supervisors ot the counties containing those cities are the only Supervisors who are by that section author- ized to levy a tax; and even as regards them respectively the apportionment shall not be legal or binding, “if it ¢ ceed the eum which shall be necessary to maintain polic accommodations, and the police force used and cayuye within each or either of the said counties, according to the action of the Board of Supervisors.” If the section could be construed so as to authorize your Board to levy a tax, it could only be legally levied for | such police accommodations as are maintained, and police | force as is used and employed within the county of West- chester, according to the sction of our Board of Supervi sors; and as none such has under this act ever been main- tained, used, employed, or authorized, the levying of this tax would, according to this very section, be illegal. Tt ts true that the chairman sof your Board may, if he choose, aseiet in avditing these elaims against the cities of New York and Brooklyn, but this is the only pow by this section to any of the Supervisors of Westchester county, and this provision could not be construed as an ob: Ngation to pay any part of ench expenses, even were it net in the same section exprosely provided ‘that they should be levied and collected on the taxable property of the cities of New York and Brooklyn alow. ‘The only authority to levy a tax which is given to your Poard by thie act is that mentioned in section 17, by which You are pertitted (not to appoint, but) to call w Roard of Police to appoint as many inspectors, and patrol men within your county as you desire, an upon exercising this privilege, you are allowed—firet, t priv ‘of paying the persons whom the Board of P lice shall appoint, by levying @ tax upon the real and per- sonal property taxable within your county As you have never authorized the Board of Police to ap. point for youa small army of salaried officials within your coutty, you cannot be compelled to impose upon Your constituents a heavy tax for their pay and expenses. ed that, although no authority is given to the words of this act to levy this tax, yet the in of the Legislature must be considered in its con struction Your committee respectfully suggest that the assump tion of any such intention is expressly contradicted by the words of section 26, and that in their opinion neither the intention nor the attention of the Logislature wae at al! to the county of Westchester, in ita inception or Bees , eXcept in regard to the geographical position of the county As it * clearly your duty to protect your constituents saary and Unjust taxation, your commitsec d the passage of the following resolution — ed, That the Hoard of Supervisors of Westchester County, are by law neither obliged nor authorized to raise the sum of $2,536 81 towards defraying the general expenses of the Commissiners of the Metropolitan lolice Thetriet of the State of New York, and therefore, they de cline to de #0. .

It will be recollected that the Fashion was once a gov- ernment vessel, but was recently sold in New Orleans for nominal sum, and was bought as was supposed at the time, which has since proved to be the case, by the friends of General Walker. The Mobile Hegister calls at- tention to the advertisement and says :— We need not ennumerate the advantages which must accrue to Mobile from such an arrangement.

PROGRESS OF PARTIES—A PREPARED TREATY WITH BRAZIL IN CONTEMPLATION—WILL OTHER NATIONS CONSENT TO IT—BANKING OPERATIONS—CONDITIOD OF BUENOS AYRES, BTC., ETC. [From the London Times, Oct. 21.) ‘The following mercantile communication by the Brazil mail gives the latest details of flnancial and commercial | prospects inthe River latte. An important reciprocity treaty appears to be contemplated between Brazil and Montevideo. With regard to Buenos Ayres the satisfac- tory and novel statement is made that the government is in honest hands:— Mostevipro, Sept. 4 Everybody is busy about the elections, which are to come off on the 2eth of November. The Blancos are using the most strenuous efforts to secure the majorit; even if they succeed it is not cortain that Oribe will be acknowledged as their undisputed head. There is only a portion of the Blanco party that can be con. sidered as his out-and-out partisans. Had our Pre- sident been the man he once was, and as at his election it was fondly anticipated he continued to be, these struggles would have almost terminated. It is expected that the next packet will bring us a new treaty from Rio de Janeiro of @ nature that will be highly favorable to both this country and gg | Brazil bot it is doubtful if itcan be carried ont. Neither Eng- land, France nor the United States are likely to look on in silence. If I am correctly informed, the produce of Moute- video ts to be admitted into Brazil free of all duties, and in like manner the produce of the empire is to be admitted into the Uruguay republic. As, unless it is jerked becf, we can send nothing of importance to Brazil, while we re- ceive sugar, coffee, rum, rice, tobacco, yerba and many other articles, which pay a high duty, the reciprocity ‘would be evidently one-sided. To compensate this country for ite apparent sacrifices, Brazil is to advance on loan, at an interest of ix percent per annum, 3,000,000 duros, which are to be devoted to the sinking of all military pensions and half pay, so that the country may be relieved of the incubus that paralyzes all progress. Neither France nor England sends the articles enumerated, and, proba- bly, wheat is the only article that would affect the United States; but it is a question if either of those countries will silently submit to a preference which, in fact, is oaly nominal. Should this treaty be carried out the revenue of this republic would for two or three years be seriously dimi nished, and as the guaranteed bondholders accepted the arrangement in progress on the supposition that the present customs dutice would not be seriousiy reduced, they will have afair claim, through the Foreign Office, for compensation, Indeed,’ Ido not see how our govern: ment could sanction 80 positive an infraction of their con tract, for the contract is of their making. There is now fn diapute between the Montevidean government and her Majesty's Charge 4’ Affaires respecting the condition of the contract. The former ie exhibing another proof of want of all good faith and common honesty. It is to be hoped Mr. Thornton will not give in, and that he will be tho. roughly supported by Lord Clarendon. The claim of Mr Gonnioulhon, which was recognized the beginning of last year, and on which some monthly instalments were paid ‘and then suspended, has been approved by both Cham- bers. consequently the government has foR itself com- pelled to resume payment Tshould have informed you in my last that this govern. ment has at length agreed to the appointment of British and French commissioners to arrange. in conjunction with “national commissioners, the amount and mole of settle. ment of British and Fregeh claims arising ont of losses during the invasion. It is’ to be hoped that claims justly chargeable against the government of Buesos Ayres will nothe saddled upon thie poor country, particularly as many of those claims arove from the miserable policy of the Furopean governments. The commissioners should be sent from Fngland and France, and they should men of great firmness of character! Neither Mr. Thorn. ton nor M. Mallifer,,who represent those governments here, should be intrusted with this business, for, although highly respected, they have other matters to attend to. ‘Mana’s bank of issue has now been in operation for month, and to judge from the papers it does not give much satisfaction. No large uotes remain in circulation, and, probably, net more than £5,000 value of small notes ix out The rate of discount is 15 pir cent, and the allow of interest on deposit is 10 per cent. The French pro- were as Menck’s Bank finds more faver with than formerly. The wed privileges go y thie packet, and the last re is afforded to och capitaliste to establish a bank here, which could not fail to produce large profite, particularly if the emigration scheme were added w it.

The Judges being all present this morning and the court room crowded with attorneys from all sections of the Union, the following opinions were delivered :— Christiana Duer vs. United States, —Chief Juatice Glichrist, delivered the opinion of the Court. The evidence proves that the claimant har received all tho pension t» which she was entitled for the services of her deceased husband. Adverse report. Terrissa C. Stern ve. Uniled States.—Mr. Justice Black- ford delivered the opinion of the Court. This was a claim for commutation pay under the resolves of the Continental Congress. The evidence is not sufficient to sustain the claim, and were it otherwige the clwim is barred by the statute of limitation, (uct Nov. 2,1786, and Feb, 12,1793. ) Cla‘mant has no cause of action. Neal Smith, administrator of Wm. Turvin, vs. United States.—Mr. Justice Scarborough delivered the opinion of the Court. This wae a claim for 120 arpents of land front by: 40 urpents deep, lying on Mobile bay. There being no proof of habitation or cult:vation being made the grant was re- jected by the government. The Court decides the evi- Gonos suMloient under the act of Marq 2, 1829, and will report to Congress accordingly “for such action to be had thereon as may be Cecmed proper RS. Garnelt ve, United States.—Opivion by Mr. Justice Scarborough.—This was a claim for extra pay, while dis- charging staff duties as aid to Major General Zachary Tay- jor, during the war with Moxico.

Scaife vs. United States.—Adminjstration of Sta'k- er.—Opinion by Mr. Justice Blackford.—This was 4 claim ior the use of the steamboat James Adams, engaged on ihe Quartermaster’s Department during the Seminole war, Under the charter party the contract price of the boat tll disebarged was $5,645, for which a bill will be reported. Ralph Richardson vs. United States.—Opinion by Chief Justice Gilchrist.—The act of July 30, 1884, for the relief of the heirg ef James Bell, does not take the claim out of he operations of the resolution of limitation of 1787, re- quiring a presentation to the Comptroller of the Treasury. Abraham R. Wovley vs. United States. m by Mr. ice Scarborough.—Mr. Wooley had been an officer «ca tain) in the United States army, but was court mar- led and dismissed from the service in 1829. He claimed that the court martial was irregular, and that he was still a captain of the service and entitled to pay from the date of bis dismissal to the present time. Court held the ap- proval of the action of the court martial by the President of the United States to be conclusive, aud therefore re- fused an order to take testimony. Ann W. Buller vs. United States.—Opinion by Mr. Justice Biackford.—-The only evidence of this claim is the balance shown to be due Gen. Butler by the Revolutiona: records of the government. Court held these balances: the old treasury books were too uncertain to establish a claim after so great a lapse of time. Claim refused. Llewelling Jones vs. United States.—Opwion by Mr. Justice Scarboreugh.—This wasa claim for mouey lost while naval storekeeper at Rio Janeiro, The loss was made good at the time, and this suit was. to recover it back. Court held that petitioner had no claim upon the government. Baris Nadeau vs. United States.—Opinion by Chief Justice Gilebrist.—When it appears that the name of a soldier Was omitted from the rolls in March, 1781, and his: last pay certificate was for January and February, 1781, unless the evidence of his subsequent service be clear and definite, he cannot be held to have served to the end of the war. Adverse decision. Ferdinand Coxe vs. United States.—Opinion by Mr. Justice Scarborough.—This was a claim for services as Charge d’ Affaires at Rio Janeiro, while Secretary of Lega- tion, As his action a8 Charge was ordered by the govern- ment, the Court held bim to be entit difference be. tween his salary as Secretary and pay as Charge while he was so employéd, and reported « bill accordingiy. Benj. S. Springer vs. United States.—Opinion by Mr. Justice Scarborough.—This was a claim for per centage on purchases of coal. Decision adverse. Jobn F. Callan was appointed a Commissioner to take testimony in this district. : The Gadsden Purchase. LETTER FROM JAMES GADSDEN. In the Courier of the 10th inst. is an invitation “for ex amination and signature of a petition, urging on Congress @ prompt attention to the Territorial organization of the Gadsden purchase, as a measure needed for the protection of the mail contractors upon that overland mail route to Caitiorna.”? ‘The declaration or brief in the petition prepared by thove to whom the rich contribution for an overland mail to the Pacifle has been awarded, if endorsed by the Post master General and not by the “heretical citizens” of South Curolina, might awaken the responsibilities of the President to accord Territorial protection to where it may be found legitimately due. ¢ citizens of Charleston, now appealed to, will, I trust, reflect on the tenor of this petition before they commit themselves to an endorse ment intended to influence the President to a precipitate discharge of a high obligation, before a proper showing by the people of Arizona of their claims to separate Torrito. rial government. At present the Gadsden purchase is attached to New Mexico, and has an adeauate military force on its frontier for the protection of emigration. It is further understood that those who have sought their homes in that land of minerals and of mail transits have at Washington a delegate, charged with a memorial asking for & separate Territorial government, Wit! a puri passu codicil, to beadmitted us an equal State in the American federation. If the memorial borne by the respectable delegate, now at the seat of government, presenta a con- | vineing declaration of the rights of the poopie of Arizona to separate Territorial government, preparatory to sovo- | reign membership among the sovereigns of the Union, there can be no doubt that the Executive, on whom the | responsibility reposes, and his counsellors and ad visere in Congress, will accord to the inhabtents of th new Territorial acquisition the relations which they are entitled to in the Union, in accordance with the wise and approved policy which hitherto distinguished the regula tions for the government of Territories and the radmission into the Union, upti! the innovation inthe Nebraska Kansas: squatter sovereignty antagonisms for free soil a slavery supremacy. The South should be cantic the citizens of Carolina in particular, how afford (as the signing of the petition would be rec: pretext at Washington for reviving the agitations of Kansas on the soil of Arizona,and by which another Walker squatter sovereignty would mevitabiy rob the South of its unhert tance before it was prep to take possession. i My name having been associated with the purchase, as well as in the petition, and claiming some knowledge of the relations and political connections if not designs of California and this Territory and the Transit overland mail through it, imposes on me the obligation of present ing these views to my fellow citizens before they com mit themselves into a renewed agitation on the prema ture organization of Territories, and admission inte the Union ct the antagonists of free soil and pro-slavery States struggling for supremacy. The South were never more beguiled than when they took partin agitations that were outeide of the constitution, The far seeingfCalhoun early cautioned against entertaining them, for he foreshadowod that all these exciting antagonisms on slavery and pul sectional subjects were but to irritate and civert the South from the bigher ine onder the con-titut on. wrthern supremac and whieh has rf democratic @iministrations 1 the centralization (through the action of the federal ) joneyed power and itis pts in New York—we should reserve our po lor this struggle; for if the Southern States cannot b down that centrahzed incubus which bas been fixed on it, tis mere speculation to expect equality in the Unien in a territerial triomph of pro-slavery ever free-eotl equatter evereignty ;for it is only admitting a pro-slavery vthe fraternity of the humbled, overburthex ubdved section of States.
