The Strides of Slavery El I i The New York Daily Times, in a very able article says that the rights, interests and pub. Pie sentiments df the free States have been treacherously betraYedl* some of their own 11. epreeentat iy e And' it is so ; executive br)' berg and party discipline have accomplished their object. Wbether this gigantio stride' of the slave.holding interest towards that supreme domination over the destinies of this continent at which it aims, will arouse a spirit of active resistance among the people oldie free States, or whether it will be Winery submitted to, as have all previous aggressions from the same quarter, the , future only eau determine. ' The next feature in the programme is war with Spain, and, if necessary, with all Europe in order to present the gradual abolithin of slit in Cuba. Ae such a war would be felt '' , lttlxclusively by the commercial interest, n • as cotton would still be admitted into Eng lish ports, and as all other commerce belongs to the .North, the slaveholdiog interest would be comparatively but little affected by it. That ,irtterest, therefore, in eiew of the object to bo obtainvd, is comparatively indifferent to war; artdit counts on the West for sympathy in this continent... Su fay as the influence of Senator Douglass goes, it will undoubedtly have it.— It remains to bOsein whether even this pros pect will arouse the free States to any just sense of their rights. Cohesive Power of Demo °racy. The "cohesive power of publio plunder," John C. Calhoun. described as the cement of the Democratic' Party, was never more apparent than at the present juncture. lon, the Washing ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, a dem ocrat himself says, Congress will "never con. sent to make any appropriations for any pub lic works hereafter, without ►lt q uitin g civil in stead of military superintendency of the same. This is a question upon which much muy be said on both sides. Military superior superior tendency is considered preferable on the score of accountability. A military officer cannot combine witb contractors and even laborers to plunder the Government. He can be more readily reached than a civil superintendent in case of necessity. Under civil direction fraud and corruption nuisralways prevail, because the civil appointments are thought and are conferred irith a view to plunder. They are conferred on party men for party services, and with the un► derstanding that the legal salary is but a small part of their compensation. It is feared this must ever - be the case. It is not, however, necessa. illy .rto ; because it would be entirely practice . or the Government to obtain the services en of professional merit and high social standing, in whom might be placed the most entire confidence. But let any party President make such an appointment, without reference to the party clamor, and he would non find himself without a party." Shall we Have War ? Nearly all the accounts from Washington represent our affairs with Spain as critical.— We are told in Washington letters published in different quarters, that a war message is ex. nected from the President. We trust that this may not be sc—and yet h . is hardly possible that the rumors are entirely without foundation.— At this time, ell the great interests of the coun try point to peace, and humanity demands it, if war can.bo avoided on , honorable terms.— What grievances we have suffered from Spain calling upon us to declare war against her pi so great a sacrifice of life, civilization and pros- perity ae it must involvf,sre are at .e loss to conceive; certainly .the Black Warrior affair does not call for such a course on our part, and we 4rust that there is good sense, humanity and patriotism enough in Congress to put its veto,on any such movement. We do not be. lieve that the President will recommend any sock measures ; but should' he do so, without showing stronger cause than we believe to ex• ist, we trust that the recommendation will bn resisted by the Congress and the country. War•at any time, except in defence of nation. al honor or national independence, is a great evil; but at this time, and under existing cir cumstances it would be a curse too serious to .8 encountered; blasting our commercial pros .ts, filling ttre land with widows and orphans. et us hope that the evil may be averted, and that our triumphs, for centuries to come, may be those of peace.

On Saturday, Judge Wood: roll made a decision on a motion to vacate ar. rest In the case. The circumstances in this case are well known : Mr. Perham, profes sed to be owner of the seven mile mirror a farm, a trotting horse, jewelry and other prop erty which he proposed to distribute by lot among 100,000 purchasers of $1 tickets. The property was turned over to a committee who proceeded to Georgetown, D. G., and there disiri, bated' the "gifts" by lot. - The judge recapilty lated these facts, and decided as follows "The court is called upon, under this state of facts to' ay, that the statute prohibiting any game of chance or lotteries has not been violated by defendant, and that the arrest - should be vacated. The court cannot so view the matter.' It consid. ets that the intention was to evade the law. The common and idle endeavor of those who have attempted to evade other laws, such as those re. straining the sale of intoxicating drinks without license, by selling a glass of water and giving the purchaser liquor, is of a similar character, and is not more frivolous or less deserving of countenance. Apart from the mere use of the word, the present transaction was in no just sense a "gift." Whateves it was intended the purchas. er of tickets should receive, it was all bestowed in consideration of the $1 paid, and was held out as inducement by him 40 purchase the ticket.— The consideration was in all respect mutual, and no gratuity was either r ffered or expected, and none was in fact bestowed. 'His counsel seeks to avoid the inference of the handbill, 'if you want the swiftest trotting horse in New York for a dollar, buy one of Per ham's gift tickets, &c., by saying it was simply an untruth—as he had executed a transfer of the property to the committee, and.could not control it. 'lf, upon the trial of die cause,' the Judge re, marked. 'it shall be deemed material th satisfy the jury that the defendant, when using this means to induce persons to buy tickets, was stating to them an untruth to insure his sales, or was en• deavoring to obtain money by faleshood, fraud, or false pretences, the argument will receive. proper consideration. Such au argument (if the facts shall ultimately warrant its use at all) will I think, belong to them, rather than to the Court to answer. oin allusion to the defendant not being able to transfer the far - m to the committee on account of existing laws, the Court considers the pretext not well founded, and the reserve appeared to have been- to transfer it to some particular ascer tained indixidual! "The question as to whether the 'acts of the defendant amount to a setting up or proposing of the property to be raffled for, or distributed by lot or chance, is a question for the jury, and un, less the Court could see that the plaintiff clearly failed to make • out their case, order of arrest should stand until trial." The opinion eoncludes as follows t • "If schemes like the present are_ succeessful , we may expect. to see offices upon every corner. and allurements held out to attract our citizens to engage in an old vice under a new name, till this species of gambling is as common as it is pernicious . Neither courts nor juries can, for this reason, make laws, but they may and ought to be vigilant to see that the laws we have are not violated with impunity. o The motion to dis charge the order of arrest must be denied with , costs to either party, to abide the event of the court."— Wash. Sentinel. United States Mint Robbery. Within the last fel days evidence has come to light that extensive abstractions from the funds on deposit at the Philadelphia United States Mint have taken place, and of such a character as to involve the reputation of an heretofore up" right and irreproachable citizen. Upon the chief weigh clerk of the Mint, Mr. J. Eagle Negus,de• volves the responsible duly of receiving, weigh. tog, and describing the bullion deposited and of giving a receipt for the same before it is melted. Of course its value cannot be ascertained until it has undergone the melting process and all i m purities and foreign substances have been re moved. Between the times of depositing and of melting, therefore, an opportunity was afforded to an evil.disposed person, unless he was prop. erly guarded, to abstract from the bullion com mitted to his care. The chief weigh clerk was no. ticed by one aids assistants to be frequently in the vault, (which he entered by means of a (Mph,. catc key ) for which there was no occasion, but his ostensible object might have been to secure specimens for preservation. At length suspicion became smconfirmed, that another clerk in the office, and finally a superior officer, was containi ideated with on the subject. The evidence of wrong afforded seemed incredible ; tut the next step taken to elicit the truth was conclusive in its results. Upon the arrival of the last ealifor• nia steamer, at. which time, as is invariably the case, great quantities of bullion are forwarded (or New York to Philadelphia by the various ex• press companies, 4.c., the treasurer arranged, af. ter*the chief weigh clerk had made his deposites for the day and weighed the same, to repeat the process of weighing, and a deficit amounting to $1,400 was disclosed. .The guilty person, after being informed of the facts, immediately confess.. cd his crime, acknowledging that his depreda• Lions had been continued for six months past, and that he had taken altogether $14,000; but offer. ed to make immediate restitution, which ha was ' able to do, as he possessed of considerable pro.' perty. This fact, in connextion with his previ• ous character, makes the present offence the more inexplicable.

One of the most extraordinary spectacles ever presented in the political world is now exhibited in the United States on the Nebraska bill. The great originator of the doctrine and policy of squatter sovereignty—that is, that the settlers of a Territory shall have the power in their Tet ri twist legislation of determining its institution— hails the passage of the bill in -the Senate as the triumph-of squatter sovereignty. The author of the bill, in his speech introducing it to the Sen, ate, affirms that it contains this power. The o President of the United Slates (according to the testimony of ex• Senator Clemens) took the same view of its purport, not doubting that it gives the whole territory to thetree States and is astont ished at their opposition. And, last of all we see public meetings held in the New England States in which en emigrant organization is de termined on by which-the first settlers in the Ter ritory, in accordance with the powers empower• ed by this bill, shall exclude slavery forever at th'e first meeting of the Territorial Legislature.— On the other hand, we see Southern politicians, and such presses as the Richmond Enquirer, stoutly denouncing squatter sovereignty, while t hey support the bill. On the one side or the other there must be gross deception.
