In 1827 he was elec ted to the 'United States Senate, and served a terra of six years. In this distinguished body he was cotemporary with -Webster, Calhoun, Van Buren, Benton, Berrien, Hsyne and others of the great men of that day, and it is a singular coincidence that he died at about the same hour, and at nearly the same age, as Col. Banton, with whom ho served for six years on the commit tee of military affairs, and between whom, although differing politically, there always existed the closest per sonal friendship. The Slave Trade. Important Correspondence.—lt is stat ed that important diplomatic corres pondence, lately carried on between the British Minister Lord Napier, and Gen. Cass, relative to the slave trade, has reached the climacteric in a long, able and convineing.note from the venera ble Secretary, addressed to Lord Na pier, reviewing the whole subject, and furnishing a complete answer to the demands and pretensions of the British government. A correspondent of the New York Times says : Several notes had previously passed —Lord Napier complaining, on the part of his government, that the Amer ican flag is used on the African coast as a cover to slavers of all nations, and maintaining that the United States is bound to increase the African sqnadron from three, the present number of ves sels, to four, &c. Gen. Cass communicates to Lord Na pier the views of .oar government at length, and in a manner which must silence, if not satisfy, Lord Napier and his government. lien. Cass, however, stndibnsly avoids giving offence to Eng land, though ho comments with great and deserved severity upon the Coolie trade, and the laws of England relating theroto, and animadverts with equal justice upon the African apprentice sys tem of Louis Napoleon. Gen. Cass regrets the abuse of the American flag by vessels not entitled to claim that protection, bat cannot ad mit that our government is responsible for this abuse to a greater extent than it has employed its efforts to prevent it. Ho further refuses to acknowledge that we are bound to add another vessel to oar African squadron, and after re viewing the treaty stipulations, con tends that we have fully complied with them, in letter and in spirit. The document is written in strong but temperate language, and though se t vane and occasionally sarcastic, contains nothing at which the British govern ment can possibly take serious um brage. It is an able State paper, and will ineroaso the reputation of Gen. Casa. Democratic Truth& The ebarter election took place at Trenton, New Jersey, and at Beverly, in the same State, on Monday laat.— At both plaoes the Democratic ticket was elected by large majorities.— Though some men have apostatised from the party, still the majority are true to its principles, and will sustain them in the face of all opposition.

The Black Repubhenna feel keenly i tho incoasistent position, in which the Montgomery—Crittendon sineadment has placed them. Notwithstai.ding the grim smile of satisfaction at the defeat of the Senate bill, their chagrin and mortification cannot be coaceile I. From the passage of the Kansas Ter ritorial Laws, down to the vote on the Montgomery Substitute,these layrs have been the object of their bitterest ani madversion and objurgation. But to defeat a Democratic Administration, these laws are not so bad after all, and we find the entire Republican deleg,a tion in Congress recognising them, not as " bogus," but binding and suitable for holding elections under. The defeat of the Senate bill is a barren victory to them, for by their own act they havb been compelled to swallow their own words, and acknowledge the imputa tions they have cast upon them as false and unfounded. A few weeks ago Black Republicans would cling to your skirts like mud, taint the atmosphere as a noisome pestilence, with their mal idilltions, groans and yells upon the " Lecompton infamy ;" but now when they aro asked if they recognise the " bogus laws," they slink off with a fallen countenance, conscious of the ut ter inconsistency they have been for years practicing, and which has at last culminated in their snpport of Mont gomery's substitute. It if a matter of some importance, and nevertheless true, that every position assumed by the Black Republican party, since the passage of the Kansas• Nebraska bill to the present on that embrogtio, has been abandoned by it, and to-day it stands endorsing w ha t yes terday i t oppcsed,and recognizing as legal what it vehement ly termed bogus. Such is the Black Republican party, and its history forms a melancholy page of inconsistencies and incongruities.

These inspectors arc to hold their office for three years, and are required to be "learned in the science of chemistry " ; their duties shall be to inspect, examine and analyse all liquors, and upon detecting adulte rations, provision is made for the de struction of the liquor. Each inspector is to receive a salary, of $l5OO per an num, and every person obtaining a li cense is required to pay three dollars towards this sum. The bill went back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendments. If the House insists and the Senate re fuses to recede, the whole subject will be referred ton committee of conference.

It em powers the Governor to appoint a Sec retary of Railroad Statistics. The duty of the officer thus created, shall bo to classify, tabulate and preserve all such statistics as properly belongto railroad companies in the State. He is not only to collect such as refer to the general and leading roads, but to collect such as refer to the mining roads. He is-to report annually to the Legislature. His salary is to be $3,p00 a year. He is to have one clerk at a salary of $l,OOO. The salaries are to be levied upon the Companies in proportion to their gross earnings. The roads aro not only to pay these salaries, but all the expenses of the office at Harrisburg, and all the official expenses of the Sec retary whilst tra'eling upon business pertaining to his office.

WAsruncron, April 15, 1858 Dear Cbsipiter:—ln the Senate, on Tuesday, Mr. Green moved, that as the House had disagreed to the bill admit ting Kansas under the Locompton Con stitution, a Committee of Conference be appointed in lien of resolving to ad here to tho bill as originally adopted.— This motion, after some little squirming on. the part of the Opposition, prevail edi (yeas 30, nays 24,) and Hessre.Green, Hunter and Seward were appointed on the Committee. The Senate thus of fered tho olive branch to the agitators of the House. Yesterday morning, the anti-s of the House were in caucus, several hours, certainly one-half of them favoring the, appointment of a Committee of Confer ence to act with that of the Senate.— The more rabid opposed any movement hating in view the settlement of the qttestion, and endeavored to force those whose faith in anti-Lecomptonism (Re publicanism) was growing weaker, into their view of the case. When the House met, however, four Democrats heretofore anti, showed their willingness to 'meet tho Senate on terms of equal courtesy, if nothing else. Mr. Mont gomery moved that the House insist on its disagreement, which motion was lost by the casting vote of the Speaker. Mr. English then moved for a Commit tee of Conference, and called the pre vious question. The call was sustained —yeas 108, nays 107--and the motion for a Committee then prevailed—yeas 108, nays 108, and the Speaker voting in the affirmative. The anti-Lecomp ton Democrats who voted for it wore Messrs. English, of Indiana, Owen lopes, of Pennsylvania, Hall and Pen dleton, of Ohio. Two more would have voted the same way if found ne ceisary. `The members of the Committee on the part of the House will be announced to-marrow. IL is to be hoped that this move will retinit in a speedy settlement of tho question. No one can predict what the action 'of the Committee will be, but the Bll}ch Republicans aro uneasy about it.

From the ac cession of the combined floods accruing from the upper risers, the Mississippi is rising from St. Paul down to this point. The Missouri and Illinois rivers are both high and rising, and all their trib utaries are at flood height. These high waters are occasioned by heavy rains extending through the whole western and north western country, and are not the usual Spring mountain rise.

G. .—Don't ery, little boy. Did idt reran purpose r No sir, he bit me ea the howl: The New Coalition and the Demberatio Party. There can no longer be any doubt that certain leading politicians have on foot a scheme for the organization of a , new political party preparatory to the presidential contest of 1850. Several I of the - opposition journals have from , time to time let fall vague hints that such was the case; a Republican mem ber of Congress indicated it pretty clearly in a speech in the House a few weeks since ; and the Times and Tri-1 bune, emboldened, no doubt, by what they profess to believe is an irreparable breach in the Democratic party, have i openly advocated it in their columns. In alluding briefly to some of these evi dences of fusion a few days since, we stated that the new organization would be composed of the entire Black Kerb , heart party, a few Southern Know Noth , ings, and the disaffected Democrats. Its leading spirits and managers-in chief will be Messrs. Seward, Douglas and Crittenden ; and though the plat form, upon which the different elements that are to compose the- fusion will unite and go before the country, is not yet definitely agreed upon, a pretty , correct idea may be formed of what its complexion will be from the political characters of those who are to have most to do in framing it. Mr. Seward considers the Presidency and Congress as already secured by reason of the preponderence of the free States; and regarding the Supreme Court, as ho no doubt does, as the only obstacle to the full accomplishment of his purposes, he will insist upon the remodelling of that institution as his strong plank in the new platform. Judge Douglas will be satisfied with a recognition of the doe tripej of popular sovereignty, as ho now j interprets it; and Mr. Crittenden will 'content himself with some slight modi fication of the naturalization laws. Upon this, or a somewhat similar plat form, the new organization will be framed, and go into the canvass of 1860. i To defeat the Democratic party and get possession of the government, it will make a fierce and desperate strug- i gle. That its success would result in a breaking down of the constitution and an early disruption of the confeder- I trey there can scarcely be a doubt. The leading idea upon which it would administer the government, and the sectional character of those whom it would place in power, would override the political rights of the minority sec- ' ton, and leave it without the power to I enforce its equality or independence within the Union. But is itpossible for this coalition to succeed? Can a political organization composed of so many discordant ele ments ever secure in its ranks that, uni ty of sentiment and harmony of action which give to a party power and strength, and in the absence of which even the best of enterprises must fail ? All experience teaches us to answer in the negative, and the history of all the fusions that have heretofore been at tempted in the country justifies us, as we think we have demonstrated, in coming to the conclusion that thitone must share the fate of its predecessors. They have all failed in their purpose— s!! gone down before the light of truth and justice, The Democratic partytas always triumphed over them. The people understand its principles and are fhmiliar with its history. They know that its triumphs have been those of truth over error, of correct principles over wild dogmas, of national souti ments over sectional prejudices. For near three-quarters of a century it•has bad control of the government. It found the nation weak at home and con temptible abroad. It has given power and strength to its domestic institu tions, and 'wide it the envy and ad mira • tion of its sisl.er nations. These things it has been enabled to accomplish be cause the correctness of its principles and its policy secured to it. the confi dence and the support of the people. In all the great crises of the country's history, when attacked by foreign Toes, or theratened with domestic dissen sions, the people have looked to the Democratic party as the protector of their -constitution, the vindicator of their national honor, and the guardian of their domestic peace. It has been assailed by its enemies, betrayed by its pretended friends, and opposed by all sorts of fusions, combinations, and coal itions. Now and then it has tailed of success, but placing its trust in the in telligence, patriotism, and discrimina ting justice of the American people, and relying upon the success of rte gov ernmental policy as the- best indication of the correctness of its motives and its principles, it has not only recovered from those temporary defeats, but has lived to see the downfall and destruction of every party that has opposed it. Of its triumph in the coming struggle we are perfectly confident. The combined elements of Abolitionism, Know Noth ingism, and Anti-Lecomptonism will be crushed beneath its simple truths and honest purposes. To the people it will appeal, and through them its victory will be achieved.— Washington Union. lirWhen the Wilmot Proviso move ment was started some ten or eleven years ago, the Democratic party every where in the Northern States, through the treachery and desertion of profess.. ed friends, was for a while shorn of its strength And borne down by the ova sit!on—so also when the Kansas-Ne braska bill was passed, the same disaf fection took place, and similar defeats overtook us; but the storm was of short duration, and who of all the deserters then were benefited? Not one. Some few returned to the fold from which they had strayed, but a large majority of them are at this day in the closest affinity with Black Republicans, and amongst the most foul-mouthed of the opposition—whilst the Democracyqui ck ly recovered its lost ground, and was in a short time stronger than ever.— So it will be again. This Kansas hum bug will soon be exploded, and the De mocracy will rise from its temporary depression with renewed energy and strength--prepared to crush all its ene mies, of every hue and shade, and re assert its power and supremacy. • Caution.--Conghs, Cc Ids and stew dons of the Lungs prevail amongst our =Win extent wholly unknown in nod, If negleetsi, often adaupunsur *mt.
