And this defeat will be tbe precursor of dissolution." There is a oerta plautibwity iu this calculation. TaiKisauda did vote for FBStJgSflfl a-d had ae.sr before pretended to bo. Some of tko-e rt ally littcd that the outrages bj Kan-rnwo ifaj ire the some -'went in for chances," oi peei.al'y after the triumph Ll Maine, lancyir that their pn specta for Mw-ioos, ollee torships, Territorial Govern and other niee weio better in the comparatively tin.

There remains, then, to he cotmdered but this who for? mt riy belonged In tbe Democratic party will return i it, aura that there is uo immediate ehanee of a Republican ascendency in the National course, some of those wbo voted for Fremont wiil fall away from the Pepublicau atandard, as we have nlier.d) intimated. The force of habit and the appiala of old will prevail with a number; though esperiei ce shows that it harder to break away from old party associations than t'? resist their afterward. Vet, doubtless, tome, who looked for victory last Fall and did not fit it, or for office and failed to secure it, will tmw slough off from their Republican Lut when we look beyond mere individual incite li.tuts to the impaises which move tiie no man can assign a plausible rtason for deserting tic Republican M.g. Our party is the youngest of any that a National existence, yet it carried eleven bet Fall, while tbe older and more widely organized Americans" carried but one. Since then, we have gained a signal triumph in St.

Louis, and are beginning to be felt as a puwer throughout the border Slave Slates. Had we elected our President, we should have had by this timo a republican party throughout the entire South it is we have a candidate for Coi giess in Kentucky and are contesting Missouri, not without hopes of practical triumph in the Fleet MTB of to-day. Wo do not, indeed, look for Rollins success, because thousands of German will vote against him an llOfi can" and Temperance man; but Slavery in Mis si uri plainly sees the hilndw riting on the wall. The German at St. Louis peremptorily that Stewart ia pledged against Kroancipa ti, and claims st.pport for him on the ground of hisowuitig no slaves, while Rollins tw enty or of them; aud ail men do see that, if Kan? tus be made a Free State, Miaaouri cannot loDg re? sist tbe influeii ces which on taree woo her to tLe flt'g of Fme Labor.

Should Fremont be again our candidate in are believe he will carry Mia i BOUri, and that the clone of bta term will find her State. And We shall hope for her vote for any good Republican. Look for a moment Ran tea. They fcoffed when we said that tbe 'election of Buchanan would eorsiim her to Slavery. Yet there febe is, a Slave Teiritorj this moment by v.rtueof that election.

Taouiii bitU- oft. SVer won." Tie persnni and the preise? which are exulting in tbe idea of tbe failure of the attempt at improve in. tits in our merchant marine service by the aboli? tion of advance pay. are perhaps a little too fast We do not understand that the state of things in tLis City, and the terms on which crews are now shipped, are at all such as to justify the assertion that our merchants have backed out of their resolu? tions ai knocked under to the sailor landlords and the shipping masters; and, whatever may be the care here, the fact certainly is not so in other im? portant ports. Witness the following paragraph from The Jioston llirald of thf? A nurptwr of our errtensive shii-owrers held a Utettsg yeaxsTdaj afternoon at the Hoard of Trade rooms, in the Fx.

hange, and discussed the question of adraaes wages to seamen. They appeared to feel 0C4 that the movement wiil lie successful in this city, arid Mr. Hooper, of the firm of Appletou Hooper, stated that there hid been no great ditli. -idly in obtaining seamen the no-advance system? that a number of ships hive left port under the new ref alatk'JS, bethought that union on the part of the merchants woula eertainly carry the reform thi'Ugh." That certainly does not look as though the Boston merchants intended to be hustled off of their own and what tan be done in Boston certainly can be done here. It is one of tbe great advantages of the change proposed iu the way of men, that it will 'ive, both to the men themselves and to the em pioyeis, tbe opportunity of some choice in relation to taeh other.

It will enable employers who are willing to treat their men justly, or even generous? ly, to make a of that fact, and to bring it beme to the knowledge of the sea-goine public: while, on the other hand, it will give the men an opportunity to exercise choice as to the in which, an! the owners for whom, they will sail. Hitherto, the shipping a crew has been very much like a Chinese marriage. Neither party I has been permitted to see the other till after the bargain, was complete, and of course disappoint? ment has been Tttber the rule than the exception. It certainly will not escape our shrewd mer? chants, that now, at the introduction of the new system, is the lime to bestir themselves, and to make themselves known. A little jadiciou1 generosity at this moment, and the readiness to en utter, if need be, some little extra expense and treub'e, may be the means of establishing for some house and some masters, and some vessels a-repu tat ion that will last them for years, and will always insure them picked crews.

I nder the eld svstcm? by which every ship, no matter bowgiKid her outfit, or low just and generous her obliged to take just such a crew as the might put on board, and according to Which it was all a matter of mere chance whether the best sh-ps and best officer! did rot get tbe worst owners certainly had but very little inducement to be particular as to tbe sort of officers whom they employed, or as to the provisions which they made for the comfort of the men. It is one of the greif? est recommendations of the proposed change, that it tends to establish a natural relation between good ships, good officers, good owners s'nl good crews; and that both sailors and owners, instead of all standing ou tbe same level and being moved about hither and thither at the pleasure of shipping masters, without any choice or volition of their own, like the pi. res a checker board, will bo enabled beneefor to plsy their own and to find tbe places naturally due to the which th. possess. Ail the worst sailors, and all the w.rst owners, and all tbe worst officers, have a common iutcvest, along with all the worst thippigfl misters and boarding-house k.

ept is, in pCTpClliatiag the old sys According to that system, good sod bad all stand upon the same level, and no dim'riiuimuioti is possible. tte other band, by tbe system, owners who are willing to give good tfaal incnt and pay, and, is of still more con who will take cjre to provide good officers, be sure af havinggaadcrews. The new system involves extra trouble, no doubt, in first introducing it; but it is a trouble that will pay; and we are iure that the boater part of our skip owners aid uiuciianta undcr.it and their oh ii intriests too well, to say nothing of humanity, to allow such an opportunity to slip through their fingers. The speech of the Hon. Peter T.

Able, the Kmisas law partner of Stringfellow, mule at Piaffe City, Missouri, and of which we published an abstract on Saturday fiom TA? Mitsonri Dnnotrat, is altogi ther import nit a document to be passed by without further notice. In the or six years past, the Free States hive con? stantly suffered from fe.liug too secure. It is plain, from Mr. Abie's speech, that the. Missouri siuveholders, with whom trtgiMsBtd the of tlw Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Neoraska BiU, the Bonier-Ruffian invasion of Kansas, and the Bogus Cade, have not yet, by any mcaus, given up the hope of uukinu Kansas a Slave State; nor Uli is fairly in the Union, with a Constitutum prohibiting Slavery, ought the vigilance of the Karth on this subject to be for tue moment relaxed, iU laspich ns put to sleep.

The acn utt which Mr. AMe gives of tbe varous ebsagCS of name which the Pm Sstvtty party of Km tat has undergone is both instructive and amusing. '1 he slaveholders and lalrh end squar? iy announced tbemscl.es, at first, SI the "Pro Slavery warty." It was under this name that the polls of Kansas were for the lirst time and tie existing bonus system orgnuize-d. In pioces? of time, it was found, bowser, that there were a COM derable tiiimber of ptriotn in tie Teiritoiy ready enough to submit to this Utarps t'on, though really opposed to Slavery. In order, therefore, to include them, the tame of the party was changed from "Pro-Slavery" to "Law -aud Older;" and it was under this name that the forays weie made upon Lawrence, and the attempt two or thiee times repeated to drive the Free-State ruei by force out of tbe Territory.

But this at? tempt having failed, the Preside ntial election hav? ing taken place, and tLe population of tbe Territory taring reseived considerable accessioua, it was now judged best to change the na me of the party scam, and to take tie title of National Democrats. The object of tbi? last chatte of name is thus atd distinctly stated by Mr. Able: "It "would brirg Ibem into fsvor with the Aduibit trstion sad with Corgtets, and at the same time ttfure to their party of thr Free-Statt Ihmocrmtt from the Northern States." But With til ttest chatgrs of uame, tho part) ig subttar.ee aud fact tbe pirty exclusively atd xealouily devoted to the Lntnductiou of Slavery ititr Kaniaa. Such, according to Mr. Able, was the hiatery of be Pro-Slavery party.

I nder all namea it had nii a and "sound on tbe and the charge that the Pro-Slavery men in Kanaaa had aold oat to the I waa utterly falae. Cpon the aub ject of Walker 's appointment and tbe drift of hia policy Mr. Able thui expressed himself: Id regard In QoaOTnOt Walker, he he nut kj nV rse i-verything he had said, hot was not prepared to tnke grounds against hiui yet. Walker was a good manager and a keen man. arid thought he -t.

od 1 im. He believed, when Walker held his secret nnnoQa with the President and his that they were chalking out a policy for Kansas. The people nVonld raaananner, said bo, that majority of ihe Cab iret were Southern mm, and he believed that Walker's trip to the Northern States after his consultations with ti President, and all his talk North about be? coming a Free State, had a design in it. The obiect was to get himself indorsed by the Northern press and the Free-State papers in Kansas, and, after be had suc? ceeded in this, ne could put down the Free-State men in Kansas by the strong arm of the Government, and point to hia indorsement by the Northern press and the TOO Stale press in Kansas for his ju-tincation. He believed in Walker, though he would not indorse him fully, and believed that he could be managed very easily." Mr.

Able, it will be seen, thinks he Mr. Walker, and we are strongly inclined to be? lieve that, in this particular, Mr. Able is correct. That Mr. Walker's trip to tbe Northern States, after Li? confutations with the President, aud ''all "l.ia talk North about Kansas becoming a free State, had a design in it," as Mr.

Able says, we do not doubt, and in stating what that desiga wh, Mr. Able seems to have exactly hit the nail on the beod. 'The object waa to get himself indorsed by the Nertheru press presses, for instance, as 27? A'. Ttmrt? and after he had succeeded thii he could put down the Free-State men ia "Kansas by the strong arm of the Government, "and point hi his indorsement by the Northern 'press and the Free State press in Kansas presses, for instance, aa l.aierinre Herald of VritJt ir?" for his justification." Guv. Walker's recent nclitnry movement on Lawrence certainly Koks as though the Governor thought that the time for beginning the suppression by the strong arm had come; and even if the coolness and sagacity of people of Law en re should disconcert this maneuver, its failure will not be due to any want of will nor any unsoundneis on the part of Governor But whatever doubts there may be about Walker, as toKanr-om, ex-Governor of Michigan, Mr.

Caai'a agent in Kansas, and the candidate of the Kansas National Democracy, alias Pro-Slavery party, for Delegate to Congress, there could be no doubt hatever. His nomination Mr. Able regards ps an excellent move. He was sure to get all the Democrats from the Northern States to a man. while, "on the he was as sound as Sur? veyor-General Ca'houn, oraDjbody else whomto ever, As to the Constitutional Convention about to meet, Mr.

A bio expressed the opinion that the Constitution they would frame would he submitted to the people. That, aa a matter of policy, could not be got over. In fact, precisely the same rea? sons exiiit for making tbat submission which led to the assumption of the name of National Democrats. But then, "due notice would be given to the peo pie of Missouri' of the day fixed for taking the vote; and when that was done "the people must protect their slave property, and get up tbe same ftelihg they tmce had up, which being accom? plished, "that election would be carried as easily as they bud carried any of tbe other elections." Mr. Able does rot deny that the Free-State men I have a majority in the Territory.

Hut then they arc resting En security ou tbat fact. They are not on their guard, and, properly managed, success is certain. He km vv all about this matter. He bad tpeat a lame sum of his own money and had raised a great dcnl from others, all for Kansas, ne knew what was going on, and he did not doubt the result. Aiid when we consider that iu all previous Ter? ritorial elections in Kansas, tbe admitted majority of tbe Free State men has not availed them, it BO oat be confessed that Mr.

Able has sime ground I cu which to base his (or fideitee. At all events, it sums certain that tbe orvmizat on at Top and of wbich General Lane the bead, to protect the polls if Kansaa against invasion LP Missouri, is by no means uncalled for. As DEMIT SMITH is announced among the rpeekert to Borrow tbe celebration of the anni? versary of Weet Iijdia Kmaticipation, we trust he will improve the opportunity to give to the Colored People who ill probably compose the major part of his audience a full, frank and candid account of He results, so far as to may have ascertained tbem, of his uoble sift of fitly ai-res of will land each to one thoMOnd poor Blacks of tbit State. We have vaguely beard that most of them either never n.i;:nited to those landi or soon left toein, and ttat not a titbe of th. now iuhabit or even ow the so generously donated.

Whatever the facts may be. we trust tlx-y will now act forih. He fact that the Ltacks did not generally make tbeOO iauds their permanent homes is not amazing. In Ihe fust plfce, tbe lauds were OoieV mended hy Mr. Smith us of hut moderate fertility, Werl manly eated in the coldest habitable regions of our State, were heavly timbered in no ie tenetkably inviting! Then the donees were rot MOV rally aoeuetomcd to firm labor, and were stiil less fmiiliaiiztd to clearing oir heavy timber, is art by itself, requiring skill as well as Otardy It is a severe trial for a poor man of family to plunge into a dense wilderness and tbt i ee out a farm by steady, sturdy iudustry; and, while pioDeer? in general seem specially idaaSnd to tbeirrugrod life, a considerable propor on crrn of the white men who attempt it find it icverc a trial and back out.

There are many eicufes the who "do just so;" ut we could wish tiiat at least half of thine on whom Mr. Smith so cemmeuiably bestowed "a place whereon to had stood thereon until Death called them away. Be the number more or less, we should like te know just how many of them are earh tl is day reposing uuder hia own roof on tie land Mr. S. gave them.

We are no more enemiea of the Blaeks on the one Land than on the otber. We d'Diacd Fqual Pighta for Mm, Dot because Blechs rrd Whites are equal in intellect or moral cultlre. but because they are alike human beings, aid entitled to the righta of human beirgi until they shall individually forfeit the aame by crime. We do tot expect of the Blacks of tbi? State equal attaiomenta or with kites, wcause they do not enjoy equal opportuni tiet. Yet we believe that the children of the eman? cipated slavca of our own State, who bare now enjofod aoane thirty years of comparative freedom, otght to be mote industrious, energetic, thrifty, independext, toauamajorityof thein are-that they have oot done ao well might fairly hare been ex? pected of them, tod that the cauae of Ii on throughout the world ia thereby embarraseal and retarded.

We hold the negroes of New-York morally responsible, ia good part, for the bondage of their brethren of the South, and every one of them whoieeks to live by any meani whichdoea not pro? mote tbe well-being of mankind a bitterer and more effective opholder of Slavery than any negro Cov. Wiie or decoying Rev. Dr. Ross. this the truth or is it not If it is the truth, and if half tie Free Illachs are, by indolence, pandering and vice, powerfully contributing to perpetuate the enslavement of their brethren, why should it not be thundered in their ears to morrsw I Why -Lou not such men as Gerrit Smith and Honry Garnett trace out the aocial, industrial, intellectual and moral condition of the Negro communities living around on Long Island, in Albany, and in certain districts of this make them tbe subject of remonatrance and more decided effort' In their private conversation, do men are more frank in acknowledgment and reproof of Negro sloth and -vice than Abolitionists: why not apeak as plainly in their public appeals, and especially in their direct addresses to the Blacks themselves The Press, Col.

Forney 's new Philadelphia paper, rcsde its first appearance on Saturday. Dr. R. Sbelti Mackenzie is announced as Assistant Kditor, mainly in the Literary department, which gives ample and gratifying evidence of hia ability and industry. The Press is decidedly ihe best paper of its politics ever issued in Philadelphia, and will command a generous support if the Kditor is determined to profit by this wide experience and ake a newspaper for the People and uot for any clique or coterie.

Its politics will not (and should not) restrict its circulation, if they are commended candidly, temperately, and with an unfailing con? sciousness that men may differ widely in perfect honesty and ith a sincere intent on both aides to promote the public weal.

Case, relativ? to subjects of oar. between tho two Governments, tbe preaeut week. To-day tbe conference bob. sually pn)tracted. There is now almost perfect agreement between the I 'nited Statea and Great Britain.

Their policy in respect to China, Ceatral America and Mexico is identical. Lord Napier has eignified to Gen. Herron that New-Grajjada eouid not expect British sympathy or aupport the reparation demanded by the. I'nited Stataatac the massacre of April, 1866. Gen.

Caaa baa rocated by assuring Lord Napier that, although have no of war against China, we see that Empire opened to the commerce of tha world. The eercral outbreak of the Sepoy? will, no doubt, eaajsje snayjaWeioa of the war against the Chinese, as it will produce a diversion of the army and navy employed. Iu this case, the duty of protecting fbrejsn interests in Chinese ports will devolre a put the American and French fleeta. Some trouble and annoyance have been caused by the legal proceed, ings against the officeri of the British cruiser whisk captured the Panchita. Gen.

Caaa has informed Lord Napier that his department has no control over the Courts, hut that the Government will exert ita power to secure the officers from vexatioua liti? gation. It appears tbat more decisive meaeurea are to be taken 'to break up the Cuban slave-trade. It is ta ihe discredit of this Government and the diagraco of ycur city tbat a neat of Spaniards and Portu? guese are permitted to make Ne w-York the center af their operations for fitting out ami supplying tho vessels engaged in this infamous traffic, ith the suppression of the trade that interest will fall, and the capital now invested in it will seek other mejoa ef investment. A very remarkable fact baa been communicated to me by a gentleman who sympathizes with the Suth in alt questions connected with Slavery. IIa says that the vessel lately seized and examined at Savannah, Georgia, upon suspicion of being en? gaged in the slave trade, but released for want of proof, bad really been prepared for a voyage to Af? rica, and that her owners intend to bring into 8a vnutiah a cargo of slavea from Dahomey.

If tho several lawe for the suppression of the brought to bear against the legality of tho enterprise, they will take position agoiust the right of the Gen? eral Government to prohibit the importation of merchandise essential to the interests of the South. Should such a conflict of State and Federal author? ity arise, it cannot be doubted that it would be de? cided in favor of tho South, and that the slave-trade would be formally established under tho principlea of the Dred Scott decision. I he personal frienda of the President attppoae that he may remain at Bedford much lunger than has been stated. Mr. Buchanan has been greatly by the of office-seekers.

Ho wishes to bo rid of their importunities during th a hot weather. He also wishes to retain iu his hands the greatest possible number of valuable until the meeting of Cungiosj. iu order to meet tho Bon then malcontents with arguments addressed to their interests.

The St. Paul Pior.cer of July has the following account of tbe election in Pemhina Connty, on the strength of which the Slave Democracy claim aia Delegates iu the Convention about to form a Consti? tution fcr Minnesota.

We ask The Journal of Com merer to let its readers see both sides, as ours do: All Aiioc Pjuiuina the arrival of Mr. if. L. Baldwin froan Pembnib on Saturday, wo are placed in possession of tbe actual returns of the Delegate ElteHoa there, which we hasten to lay before oar radon. Mr.

Baldwin is ono of tho pioneers of the West, and an old resident of this city, so that hia tati may be implicitly relied on as correct. Mr. Baldwin rays tbat the voters of Pombina City the irfst tide of the rirer got together on the 1st Monday in June and drew up a ticket Ut be voted for on the east side of the river, and knowing by the pro? visions of the Knabling Act that the west side had no part in the election, tho pol's there were not opened. On the east side of tho Bed Kiver he says them wc re two places of voting, and the tickut? Damocratio of course and tbe only one in the composed of four candidates, and ran as follows: Joe, Rolotte, Jerome St. Martre, J.

P. Wilson, Joseph Versere. Of these, Joseph Bolette and Jeron St. Martre were hoth Jrirm the trrtt tide of i i "the boundaries of the proposed State," and of the remain? ing two, J. P.

Wilson, a resident of Minneapolis, waa then OH a flying trip to Sheyenne GtOO miles from the tion prec bot), und had never teen near Pemhina in his Ufa. Joseph Versere was a half-breed living on the east only one on the ticket eligible to election. Mr. Baldwin Democrat himself) was present, but pereehrirg that a game of high-handed fraud being played, rofused to participate, and threatened to every, man who became an accomplice ia the crime. Well, the farce went on, and Mr.

Bildwin ascer? tained at night from the of Kh etion" that then bod been only eleven (111 votes cast, ail told! and that five ol these came from Pembina City, on the side. This, would leave six Simon-pure vo? to elect four but now Gorman and Becker, She.rburne, Flandrau, Sibley, Browa Jk. insolently claim tii one del? egate to i rejy ro'er! The two eabra men whom they have fraudulently sun mored to the rescue of collapsing Democracy are James Mol'etridge, who is Officer at Penil ban, ard who was clerk at the bogna ele-ctiea, Ike rkflonJoon details of which we give above, aud a half-breed cousin of Rolette's. All these six are bow sittirg in the Democratic Convention," to frame CeastltatrVB for the people of Minnesota. To tha truth of the above facts Mr.

B. is willing to make affidavit, There, the particulars of this stupendous fraud, tbe Gorman reltcls hoped would be bidden ia ti -hec'ow of its own unexplored obscurity, are before the world. On six is the whole farce of the Revolutionists leaniog for an apology, as without the 'hey wi uld admitting the other half a dozen nt their began "members to be Simon-para a lese ii.inority of eleven. A fair and candid elate mi nt of I'm ts is now before the people, and, with? out eon menf, we leave all honest men to deduct) oar. inferences.
