A large party there was siready in favor of the reopening of the slave trade; #nd not only have such jour- pals ex the Richmond Sow), the Charleston Mercury, ond the New Orleans Dele strenuously advocated ii, but the question itself was for- mally brought up in the Legislatare of South Carciima about a year ago, when an adverse re- port wee carried bya small majority. Since that time one of “ue sympathieers in Georgia wrote # public letter to the Seorstary of the ‘Lrewury to uecertain if the government would be inimical to bis going into the business of importing free slaves from Africa on the French plwe. fH bas also been publicly siuted that » 3) company was formed ia Miasi-sippi a chort time | ago tor atimilar purpose. The sight of turce hundred young niggera, as fine “ as ever culti- vated rice, cotton or sugar,” all in one lot, has struck a strong chord in the bosom of the vuthern planters. Vislovs of redeemed waste popnions ficlds, workehops filled with wat bands for the building of rail. every white mau as rich as thoee of St. Mary's parieh in Louisiaus, has dawned upon Southern mind.

Already the cry ts raised of white men bandoaffed in the streets of Chasleston, and for what?

An indomitable wili, liko that which en- abled Jackson to cope with the nuliifiers and carry the constitution triumphantly through whea thousands trembicd for its safety, will be required in the comirg conflict. Ali minor issues will be sunk before the great one, upon which the factions of every section will airive to obtain an advantage for its own peculiar views. The President is cqual to the crisis that bas come upon him, and will do his duty to the end. Bat political parties may prepare for a grand breaking up, and the politieluns of the past generation must make up their minds to give way to new men, which the new issue will bring to the surface. The Congo question pro- mises now to override all others; and instead of fighting to get niggers into the Territories, the States’ rights men ef the South will make a grand effort to reopen the slave trade, and assert the right of each State to procure all the niggers it cau ge‘ and pay for. Ccosine Ur or Tun Warerrnse Prace Sea- sox—Merroronitan Amvsemmnts.—We are atl brushing op for the fall aad winter season. The cool weather and frosts at the North have rent home alieost cverybody from the Springs, the mountatns and the seaside; the fever at the South deters rany people from returning to | their homes, and sends us others in double quick time, while the cable celebration has crowded all our hotels with the cream of the raral popula tion within convenient distance of the city. From the Western cities alvo have come shrewd merchants to make thelr purchases of fall and winier goods: and, os we write to-day, the float- ing population of New York will not fall short efa hundred thousand people. This, with the citizens and foreign residents, makes a cos- mopolitan asremblage euch as cannot be found in any other metropolis in the world. All na- tions, races, countries and tongues are repre- sented in our splendid promenade, and daring the next two months the city of New York will exhibit a grand hivh carniva!, daring wealth ond poverty, industry and indol satin aod calico, pi¢ty and profanity, ret end vulgority, modesty and impudene cloth apd rags, genius and charlatenry, will be mingled together in oll the chaug- ing brilliancy of the kaleidoscope. The belles and beaux of the watering places will return bere to finish their flirtations— Usat ix, euch of them as ever will be flaished, or thoce that do uot Minish the originators; pala- tiat mansions will again be alive with mirth, light azd gaiety; Broadway will be crowded with brilliant equipo res and gey promenaders: the bazaars will be filled with purchasers, and the merehouts will rub their heads with glee as the stock rolls owt and the cash rollaia. The opera, the theatres, the art galleries, und all the exhibitious of the town will throw open their doors; tho dellcfous envirous wilt po om the lovers of suburban delights, and the beautiful buy offtrs the widest teld for aquatic porte, our hotels arc uncqualied; our climate superb, and our weaiher at this season always delightful. We bave the last sighs of summer mingled with the cool, refreshing breezes of antume. So we shall have all sovis of people tumbling dewn upon us daring the next six or eight weeks, The European (corit, with all the lateei foreign aire; the fuehionable ladies from the watering places with their we mendous array of trunke, bandboxee, and fag ends of flirtations; ihe satarnine Southerner; the sharp Yankee; the energetic, aervous, ac- tive Western epeculator; the ubiquitous politi- cian; the wandering artist, all wii) meet hero on common ground, jciuing hands and fortunes In the imperial city of the Union. Of amusements we have a great store, and cen furnish the country at large when winter sets in. The Opere howe ie open, 60 are four or five theatres, three Airicac operas, ard other exbibitions without number. We have at the Opera Mme. Gesvict, a mort brilliant and ac- complished artist. Strakosch has arrived with a large invoice of singing birds, and more to follow. Ullmea brings Piccolomini later tn the season, and two English opera troupes will shortly contend fur fawe and dollars at Burton’s and Wallack’s theatres. The im preearii of the Italian opera have harmonized for once, and tacitly agreed on o plan of opern- tions upon @ geographical bes’, Maretzek finds his placer at the ifavanc Strakeech reaps his harvest in the rising citi» of the West, and Uilman depends upon the rengation which such artists as Piccolomini and Carl Furmes must create in the metropolis. Altogether, with the congregation of fashion and fully, trade and commerce, fléneurs and Bohemalans, artie!y and brond- loungers, saints aad sinnerr, we may exo oi to | sec a ively timo during the gay geuson in (ile city, which is the concentrating point of every thing interesting ia the country, and the leading watering place os well as the commercial em- ~porium of the Union. Sexpay Ratuway Trars.—We have alwoye been at a jose to account for the many stupidt- tice committed by the manager, of our railwaye, but there is no difficulty in tracing their despe rate condition chicfly to the incapacity of thelr dixeotors.

EO sEVELT & Ghler Tas, We aleo learn that aithough Messrs, Handy and Everett are sei Gowa in the New York Marine Register as the owners of the brig in 1857, this was not the fact, This bowe war formed in February, 1858, and never had any ownership in the Puinam, as will be sven by the following narrative of the history of that vessel. Av we have already stated, the Patanm was built in Baltimore, and some years siace was purchased by Messrs, Everett aud Brown, of this city, and placed in their line of regatar traders to New Grenada. On the 2th of Sep- tember, 1856, she was sold to Mr. Albert Horn, a meschaut in this city, for $4,600. This gen tleman sold her in the spring of 1857 to Mr. Jonathan S. Dobeon. A register was issued to bim as owner aud master, by the New York Custom House, on the 7th of March, 1857, his bondemen being P. L. Pierce and Rafus Fowler, of this city, Ou the same day she cleared for Gaboon, on the west coast of Afrien, and a market, with & cargo consisting of rice, navy breed, eartbenware, three hundred muskets, a lot of beyrhead sbooks, some lumber, priat goods, checks, sheetings, Oseabargs, a few eepare, and a emall quantity of preserved meats, champagne and cheese—the entire cargo beiag valued at $11,209, The outward manifest of this cargo, preseuted at the Custom House here, was eigned by Raimundo Maria de Brito. On the 25th of August, 1867, she arrived at New Orleans, reporting in ballast from Ambrise, Africa, Dobsoo being stil rmaaster. On the 29th of October she changed owners in New Orlenns, and the register which bad been given by our Custom House was cancelled In that month she was reported as repairiog, and afierwards laid on the berth tor Havnna, under command of Capt. Oliphant, vy Mesere Goldenbow & Lespar:e., In November ber des- tination was changed to Sisal, and che cleared from that port on the Ist of December, with a general cargo. Her sub- sequent arrival at Tavaoa, return wo New Orleaue, and final clearance frem there on the 6th of March last for St. Thomas and a mar- ket, we gave yesterday... We now learn, by tele graph from Charleston, that she sailed from Loango, n Africa, with her present cargo on the Sth of July last. In the foregoing exact bistory of the brig there is reason to suppose that she was ou her second slave tradiug voyage when captured by the Dolphin. At least such is the impression in our commercin! circles, end among the merchants the pare of a Captain Brown isa good deal mixed up wih her firet ontfit from here for Africa, We now want to know who Csptuin Browa aud Capiain Townshend are, and where they at preset can be found.

Wm. L. Yancey, of Alabama, bad cent to Richmond, Virginia, & letter for publi cation, in which Mr. Yancey charges Mr. Roger A. Pryor, of the Richmond South, “with having betrayed the disonien party at the South, and with baving viclated certain conditions pro pored by him on the exhject of disuaion.” The specifications of Mr. Yancey, according to our correspoudent, are, that “a disuaion league was fora+d, of which Mr. Pryor wasa member, The understanding was that tbe leagve rhoul. appoint a commission to negotiate certain arrangements with Eagiand in the way of a protectorate, direct trade, &c.; and, after these srrangements were perfected, disavion was immediately to follow, Mr. Pryor was ut first to make & hypocritical shew of preference for the Nor'b, and, after a Lutie dedging, to esrty Virginia in tevor of the dieanion project. He eereed, in ov words, that she sbonid not jom the Southern confederacy at the outeet, bat that be would bring cer (4 after a slight show of Javor for a lergue with the North.” A very beaatitul plot, indeed. And eo thisis the mesping of all these fire-eating Southern of all these noisy cliques of Southern confederacy men, Walker filibusters, African slave traders, Kau- sas dicvnion apitaiors, and what not. When Governor Wise und Preston S. Brooks, in 1856, ibreatencd, in the event of Fromont’s election, to march & Southern army upon Washiagtoa end cerry off the spoils of the treasury, the poblic archives, &c., and prociaim a Southern confederacy, we thought they were mnerely trying to frighoen the old fogies of the North; but when we fiod mon actively plottiag in the dork, however absurd their schemes may be, it ir fair to cone'nde that they are in earnest— that they are seriously and heartily working to accomplish the sc.emes in which they are evgaged: Our readers will recotlent (hat immediately after the proclamation of Mr. Buchanan's inaugaral and cabiact, there were symptoms, very broadly gereloped, © formation of an ultra Southera cocspiracy to rule or rnin the new administration. The estabtish- ment of the Richwoud Sowth was generally ao- cepted as a powerful link in support of this theory of au ultra Sou'hern couspiracy, aud the terrible hue and ery whieh that organ, and the Charleston Merewry New Orlewns Delta, ond other organs of the fire-eating schoo! kept up for severa) montis st Governor Walker, of Kanrar, aud th policy of the adai- nistration, removed erery doubt of the existence of this ultras fnetion of Southern fire-eaters. We bed evpposed, however, that disunfon | merely the scarecrow raw heed aad biowdy beage, ghich this cubel bad agreed io nee to frighten the olf granaies of the demo- erutic party of the North, and that the real otject of the coalition was nothing more nor jevs than the spoils and plonder of the next Presidency. Bat it appears that fo this com- mon sense view of tho matter we were very wide of the merk, and that the disolution of the Unfon and a s-pasate free trade Southern confederacy were, ia reality, the objects con- templated by this little aest of conspirators, ecatvered ail slong the road from Wasbingtoa aud Richmoud to New Oricans. liad dey suo- cerdsd by their senseless fase and fury in frighteuiog Mr. policy which he had siaked out for hie ndminte- tration, very Likely at this day this dicurton the Kane the faction would have been on tho high road to secession and a Souchera republic, under Diitish protection Fortanately, however, for the South and the country, Mr. Bachenan, from the out- set, proved to be a man who wes not to be bullied or worried, nor the rman to be trifled with by Northern or South- ern Conepirators ayatost the peace of the coun. try. Hence this beautifal Southern plot for the Gtesolutiog of the Calon, and the organization of the South under a «parate government asa Protectorate of Evgland, bse fallen to pieces, and the parties coacerned in it are begiaaing to turn States’ evidence ageinst eech other. This is another of the victories of Mc. Bachanan’s administration. By his firm, steady and straightforward conree, he has not only proved ibe weakness end folly of North- ern abolition’ lem, int the equally contemptible ly and weaknee aullifvation and sunicniem.
