Bemlug Election in New York?Prospect of | an Entire Revolution. , According to all appearances, from Tammany Hall to Buffalo, we arc on the eve of another extraordinary political revolution in this State?a i revolution, too, based on good sense, the preservation of the Union, and the triumph of those principles that have been tried and tested for half a century in this great and growing country. Let ?s survey the ground and the position of the contending parties. The two parties into which the democrats have been temporarily divided,~did not, it is true, unite I Rome. But they approached each other. They bad an interchange of views and sentiments, in the most approved style, and with all the amusing formalities in which political leaders amuse themselves and edify the people. Both sections have issued their " addresses." These documents are before the public, and have doubtless been spelled over or dozed over by half a score of indefatigable readers. One great fact, howtver, has been * limited by the proceedings at Rome, and the subse quint publication of those addresses; and it is j this on the subjeet of slavery, in the abstract, both parties are agreed. The only difference between them is, that the " hunkers," as they are ailed, plant themselves upon the old constitutional plutlorm on which the great democrat is party of the Union has maintained itself for fifty years -, while the barnburners take a position utterly hostile to the rights and interests of the Southern State a. The barnburners claim a monopoly of philanthropy and anti-sluvery feeliiig. But, in point of fact, the hunkers take still more nltra ground than their brethren of the opposite section. They reject the doctrine of the barnburners, that Congress hus the |>ower to exclude slavery from the t? rntones, because, for one reason, if Congress have the power to exclude that institution from tbe territories, it must, of necessity, possess tbe pow er of establishing it there. They hold that Congress cannot legislate on the subject at all, uod that the whole matter must be left, under the constitution, to the people of the trrntoties tlu meelves. But the discussion ot this question is now idle. It has ceased to possess any practical interest, it is quietly settling itself forover Indeed, the quarrel between the members of the democratic party, who huve for the last year or 1*0 arranged themselves tinder different banners, has bt en much more of a personal difficulty, than nf a controversy resulting from a difference of opinion on great political principles. It has been n dispute among the leaders, rather than a dis- I union of the masses. Offended by the defeat of i bis nomination in 1HH, while still smarting under his rejection by the people in the election of J.*4 ID, Van Huren eageily at ized upon the Wiltnot proviso agitation as a convenient means sf gratifying his spleen and feeding his mal.imity. A serious | misunderstanding among the prominent democratic leaders in this State, in relation to the management and distribution of the s|>oils, hapi?-n< d %> favor the designs of the Van Iittren family, and he dependents snd follow era. The result w as seen is the Presidential election. Casa was defeated, nd the Van Btiren r/tywe proudly und joyfully "liid As flattering unction to their souls" that they had done the deed. Now that these feelings of revenge have Mm gratuira, n i* probable uiat tne > an Daren influence will yield. We perceive that John Van Burrn, whope poplar epeechea, and Witticiema and tact, contribut< d no largely to the J aaeceaa of the barnburnera, in effecting the defeat 1 I their own political |>arty, now maintain? a aig ificant ailence. looking, then, at the present eign* of the timea, with an impartial eye, we are atrongly inclined to believe that the pronpect of a coalition of the democratic elemente, in the approaching election, la ore hopeful than it would have been even had there been a formal anion at Home. The maeera of the people are ready to come together. We aee thia d?aire for hurmonioua action clearly , lanifeated in the morementa throughout the teriorof the State. Nothing prevent* an abac- J te, actual union, eicept the pertontl feeling* of Ae leader*?Marry being the Magnita Apollo, or friuripal demon,on one aide, and Martin Van Hurra on the other But it ia aatoniahing how readily the angneat feelinga on the part of your great political loadera yield to appropriate treatment.

The vary appr mtm? nie, ?t?t? *pd federal, made hp the | IWWBM?M??i Whigs in this city, have tended to demoralize and break down the party. Thus, the truth of the Chakepearinn adage hoe been again illustrated;? Tha fodi Are Jnst. and of oar pleaaant rtoea oft Make inairumeata to aeevge as." Here have been these whigs in power, using the power and patronage of their position to their own destruction! The moat obnoxious appointments have been made under the government of the city, the State, and the general government. Unpopular inen, and the descendants of unpopular men, have been chosen as the recipients of whig favor w hile the rank and hie have been contumeliously thrust aside. The result has been a degree of indignatiou and dissatisfaction in the whig ranks, which we have not seen displayed in the history of that purty for many years past. All things, then, concur in enforcing tha conviction upon the mind, that the hunker democracy, at it ia called, will unite in this State at the coming election, with all the other elements of discontent, and produce a complete and entire revolution from New York to Buffalo. In tills city itself, there can be no doubt as to the result. The faction called the barnburners received all their force and impetus from the brilliant speeches and sparkling witticisms of Johu Van Buren. But he is now disposed, at all reasonable hazards, tc re-unite with Tammany Hull, and take his chance in the game of the future. In the metropolis, the i barnburners never numbered more than a few I miserable hundreds; and in the coming election | the democrucy of Tammany Hall will take theii j measures, muke their Dominations, and go into the I field without regard to any particular clique o; i mi i aL. .1 i i i l_a iiijvct. mey nave iuc Fame oiu, uroau, Miusian tiul platform, on which they have achieved a thou sand victories heretofore ; and, although there wa no general comprehensive and tormul union u Rome, ttiere will be a union more effective am more positive in detail, in the several counties am senatorial districts, springing from the good sens of the people and the general position of affairs than could have been effected in any other mode j Every intelligent mind must, itideed, perceiv ' that the only method of putting an end to the heart j burnings among the two sections of the country | that might ultimately leud to a dissolution of lh< Union, is to be found in the position, principles 1 and character of the old democratic party, gene j rally called the " hunker " party. They presen j the only tangible basis on which the South cat unite with the North in national atiiiirs. We look therefore, upon the approaching election in the State of New York, as one of the mo->t important in regard to the continued union of the States, and the preservation of the great principles of the federal compact, that has ever taken place. It does not yield in importance to the Presidential election it i self. We await the issue with great anxiety 1 strongly impressed by the belief that the old hunke democracy, on their constitutional platform, wil successfully ellcct a sweeping, if not a salutarj revolution. Thk Secret Expedition to Ccha or SoMK'.viinni Ei.se.?When we first gave intimation of the ex istence of the secret expedition, it was ruliculee by the boobies of journalism, from the head boobj in this city to the lowest and smallest in a conn try village. The fact is now admitted in all quur ters, North and South. In this city it seems the ad venturers, in great numbers, meet every night at cer tain public places,discuss the project to a certain ex tent, enlist recruits, and make preparations for sail 'ng in a few days. Soms of the most courageoui and adventurous characters that were engaged in the Mexican war, are at the heud of this secret enterprise. Money seems to be quite abundant, both in New Orleans and New York. Another curious feature in the mutter is the fact that the arrang' ments are mnde with so much discretion in regard to the laws of the country, as to prevent the government at Washington from legally interfering with the movement or the preparations. In fact, w r uuum wikiijvi iiic ^inriiiiuriii wuuiu ii'?i uc ! complete ly paralyzed wers it to make any attempt, i either at the Bouth or in thiacr.y, to throw obstruc'ions in the way of this curious secret expedittor 1 Umtniurhnt. In a few days all will be ready?the requisite number ot men engaged? the ahtps and steamers have their nail* and their steam up, fot thia curious and interesting adventure. Who will pronounce the Tt Drum over the sailing of the expedition 1 Familv At eointmznts ami Family IVvtrowue ?We are credibly iaturmed that eonie twelve ot fotirternof the family connections of Mr. Mere dith. Secretary of the Treaaury, living in thia re' gi?n, have been appointed to fat |iiacea in the custom house, by Mr. Maxwell, under orders fron: Washington. We also learn that live or six of the family connections of Mr. Brady, the Postmastei in this city, have aleo received fat nppointmentsscme m the custom house, and some in the post office. Many other appointments of n aiinilat character huvr been nuide in tlio.c publia ollicea, and some one acquainted with the aubiect is preparing a curious ?r.d interesting list of those new appointments, which will rather startle some ol (he old politicians, wbrait makes its appearance. We have already noticed that one of the new appoin'nr ents has been urrrsted for being a thief, and we understand that aorne half dozen offices in the custom house have been given to that highly resj?? etable class of society who spend their time in ntt? riding the stews and gambling bells nbout town. Now, in making those blunders, wc do not much blame Mr. Maxwell, whose moral character i- be)< nd reproaeh, but whose sagacity is at leaat twenty years behind the age. He has been impose d upon by bad advice, and we would ask the Collector if it would not be preferable for him to Kortoniee bis list ot s|ipointin? nts before the next Semite does it for him. Aw rt t. CaiMtHAt rrv or tuk Cit> Aothositibs aid tmi IVoaro <>r Hkai.tm.? We have obtained an elaborate statement of facts, fully subatantiated, in reference to the conduct of the city authorities and the Board of Health, in relation to the cholera, which will ahaolutely astound liir public, prepared ss this community is for almost any rrpnti of the incoinpeloney, stupidity and recklessness of these e.fTii lals. The other day, we took occision to exp?-?e and denounce the horriola neglect of the poor, of winch the authorities have been guilty during ihe prevalence of the pretilence. Wa are now prepared to show, by the actual testimony of some of our most respectable physicians, and by the most rnlnutr details of tune, place and circumstance, that to ths tgnoraro e, folly and inhumanity of the corporation and the Hoard of Health, is to he aecrtbrd, probably, twiethirde of lie mortality which ban marked the visitation of the cholera.? Tomorrow* we rlia.ll enter into the detitil*. It is nough to elate, at present, that the upi?*r ward* of the city, w here the poor reside, were shamefully neglected, nnd that in several instances in whi< h the medical vieitrrs had otdered the remorai of nuisances, the Uayor countermanded the ivder, nd the pln^iie.< ['< ! remained ' Heaven help the poor!

We are only in the (.ommmreuieiit of a great and afcartling r? mmercial |d in tba history of tine mighty meira|?li? \ Ckmetkky Rwom.-We have recently exposed 'be abominations that have been practised in Putter** Field, Hundull's Island, and nearer the heart of the city, too, in burying men like dogs, and pol. luting the pure air of heaven with the noisome tench of the putriiying remain* of poor humanity. We perceive that a partial reform has been coerced by the force of opinion. A new Potter's Field is to supersede the old ; and the outruges upon law, decency, and the moral sense of the community, are to cease?at least, at Randall's Island. That the malpractices perpetr^ml in the cemetery on that island wers contrary to 1m, there cannot be a doubt. An act ot the State Legislature provides, under a heavy penalty, that no dead body shall be interred less than six feet below the surfuce of the ground surrounding the cemetery. Now, in the Potter's Field?which in iy well be i called " the weltering field of the toothless dead"? the coffins are not only not below the surface at all, , but piled more than six feet above it?in fact, not i buned at all, unless, indeed, we can apply the term . burial to the lower tiers, which are three or four i feet below tbe level of the sand ; for, in theBe pits, , There are dead above, and tbe dead below Lie cold in many a coltln'd row. The Uugiant violation, then, of the sanitary provision of burying the dead six feet below the sur. ' face of the earth, has been connived at by the municipal authorities, and particularly by the " Sani ' tary Committee" of the body called the Board of Health. The Board of Health consists of the ' members of the Common Council, with associated r medical advisers. The Sanitary Committee is a part of that body, deputed by the rest to r attend to the health of the city, and make such saninry regulations as the necessities of the inhabitants demand. Now, this Board of Health, H and this Sanitary Committee have not only tolera1 ! ted nuisances of all kinds, poisoning the atmos^ pherr with tllluvia, but in the case of cemeteries, l they have themselves set the worst of examples. e | The Potter's Fit Id, on Randall's Island, is their ' pjoperty; it was purchased by the funds of the corporation, and it is idle to be shifting the responsie bihty upon the Alms House Governors, who have only legal control of the nurseries, and not of the ' cemetery. The latter has been in existence for e years, whereas the governors are only in office for ' a few months. Besides, front the limited and defined nature of their duties, it would be strange, 1 indeed, if the public health, the ubating of uui1 eunces in general, or of those connected with ceme' teries in particular, came under their cognisance. This bandying about, therefore, of responsibility, 1 from one to another, like a shuttle-cock or a football, aiises from a want of moral courage to meet difficulties, or an honc6t desire to advance the pub1 lie interests committed to the trust of officials. If a gross nuisance is pointed out by the press, or ' complained of by individuals, there is nobody in i fault, from the Mayor dewn to the policeman. His honor has no power; the charter has taken it from ' j liini; the officer cannot act without orders, or he cannot find out (he names of the delinquents, havj inp probably, got a bint to that eflect, from the Aldeiman of the ward. A Board of Health has been 1 appointed to look alter such matters and things. r But this body, when appesled to, refer to the Alms IIoufc Governors, or to the City Inspector, who refers back to the Board of Health, and thus the round of references And shuflling goes on, while nothing is done, and the people who "pay so dearly . for their whistle," are victimized. The Board of Health (and this shows that, noti withstanding all their disclaimers, they do feel i ronrrious of their responsibility) have been treatt ing about Berrian's Island for the new cemetery, , ^pd have had it surveyed for the pur|>ose. The . residents, however, in the vicinity of the island . ! kicked up such a muss about it that they battled i | the job. Nothing can more decidedly prove the ' incompetence of the Board of Health for the task they have undertaken than the selrction of such a site for a cemetery. In the first place, there are i only sixteen acres in this island, though the cost , Mould l>c, we are informed, $30,000. Hut six teen acrra of ground will only suffice lo bury i annually 2,17t> |>er average. The dead oi thia I city, luat year, were 15,919, of which only | were removed from the city?the remainder, I therefore, namely, II,03??, were interred in the i cemeteries of the city, including 2, *97 in Potter's field. Now, the number buried in the latter, even last year, with a entailer population, and no cholera, would exceed tb- capacity of the aixtern acre i bland. W hut then would be done with the remainng 8,159 interred in the other cemeteries of the city, which have been either cloaed, or ought to be cloaed I Tliia year our dead will lie found 1 to ba 20,000, and thia number it would t.ike 150 acrra to bury decently, without making any provision for the future increase of population. Nothing leas, therefore, tlun 200 or IKK) acre* I aught to be thought ot. Secondly, in the winter, (he obstructions from the ice would aoinctimea ' 1 render that ialand inaccessible. The la?t place that hai been apoken of ia Hempstead riame, on Long Island, rituate about aixtern miles from New York. If not too distant, thismight answer very well, us there is ample ground winch could be purchased cheap, and the railroad nins right through it. Certainly, it is infinitely preferable to the small islands in the lbist ltivei. There are many reason* which might be urged sgainst them. The same difficulty that apphea to Itandall'a Island with regard to depth ol sod, probably applies to every other island in the Sound. Then again, instead of bring further removed trnm the people, it ought to be brought nearer to them. It is a na; tural w ish, common to all men, to see their dead properly and decently buried. What in the prac' lice at I'otter'n Field! The dead are brought to , the dead house at Bellevue, and that is the last i their relatives see of them When the bodies accumulate in sufhsient number, they are conveyed by a steamer to Toiler's Field How they are dis|o??.d of there, the readers of the IhruU have seen. The feelings of the survivors are revolted j si a barbuiity never practised even by heathens or ; savages. We say the people have a right to see their dead interred} and the new rrraetery ought, there fore, to be somewhere* near, in New Jersey, Long Island, or in the upper part ol this island, say L _L ?- ? . f?c lU s..L..i. BK ni^il V|l ilf mur answer is, let them practice economy in other matters, nod be genereus to the people of what ia their own, Let them abobeh the inecn practice of dinners and suppers and brandy und argaraat the public exjcnsf, and let lb* in do aw uy w nh jobbing, and the p:i> tng lor contracts twice the lair amount, und they can well alh.rd the necessary etjienst of this great pub ic work. At all events, the people have a right to sin h a c metery, and it will be their own fault it they do not succeed in obtaining it.

Jvsticb at Last.?The announcement that the trial of the Astor Flacc rioters mould be commenced at the earliest possible period at the next term of the Court of Sessions, has been received with interne satisfaction by the great masses of this community. Our confidence in the integrity of eur criminal judiciary, shaken by the extraordinary delay in this important case, begins to revive. We do not believe, indeed, that the public, in general, have any idea of the pertinacious, ingenious, and desperate e Hints made by the authorities themselves?we mean the corporate authorities?to stave o(T this investigation. Nor do we wonder at this uneasiness or these efTorts. During the recent investigation which was prosecuted by Judge Edmonds, some very curious fucts were elicited, and a portion of them found their way to the public eye, through the instrumentality of this journal. It was in this way that the community was startled by the revelation of the important'part taken in the riot by certain of the individuals who signed the card to Macready which paved the way for the final catastrophe. Nobody had till that moment suspected that gentlemen of the highest respectability had actually distiibuted tickets gratuitously to individuals who pledged themselves to go to the theatre, and sustain Macready, if necessary, by brute force. But such was the extraordinary fact revealed on that investigation. A flood of light was thus cast, by the unfolding of this single circumstance, upon the mode and manner In which the magnates of the ton were accustomed to coerce opinion, and maintain their own supremacy as dictators in matters of taste and theatrical movements. It was shrewdly suspected by many, that a great deal more curious matter might be exhumed and dragged to the light of day, it we could only get a public trial of the persons arrested on the night of that memorable tenth ofMay. Hence the intensity of the feeling of indignation that the dispensation of justice whs delayed; and hence, too, the extraordinary degree of satisfaction which the movements of Mr. District Attorney M'Keon, have now awnkened. It is not at all strange, that the present civic authorities should feel nervous with regard to these singular trials. An election is approaching. The people, often apathetic in regard to the capacities, the crimes or the virtues oi the local authorities, have been rudely and thoroughly aroused in this instance. Those futal volleys still ring in their ?ars. The sight of the bleeding bodies of their fellow-citizens, shot down without a moment's warning, has not ceased to present itself again to thousands oi our hard-working people, as at night they seek the repose which attends on the pillow of honorable toil. It was, Indeed, a temble example of the weakness and incompetence of the present rulers of the city, that was presented on that fatal night; and it is only human nature that the authorities should seek to bury all in everlasting oblivion. But justice must be done. Tbe whole I tiuth must be revealed. We await these trials I with unaffected anxiety. Whosoever stands, or I whosoever falls, let us have truth made manifest, ' and justice measured out to all. Tiik Cholkra anii Business prospe.rrs.?By ! reference to the report of the Sanitary Committee of this city, published in another column, it will ' be perceived that the cholera is decreasing very rapidly, and the proppect is good that it will disappear entirely in a few days. Only eleven deaths are reported for the twenty-four hours ending yesterdhy at noon, which is hardly anything, compared to our population of half a million or more. t It is full time, we think, thut the Sanitary Committee ct asrd rej>orting. The city never was more healthy than it is at present, but those reports de ter persons at n distance from visiting the metropolis, although they may do bo with |*rfect safety, 'lite < holera is confined to certain localities, which are klwayR unhealthy. The general health is as i good an it ever was. I The protect before our business men ia very flattering. As it is, our first hotels?the Aator | House, the Irving House, the New York Hotel, and others, are crowded to overflowing with company ; and when the season ends at the fashionable watering places, which will be the case in a few days, New York will wear a more bustling aspect than it ever did. After the fancy bull at Newport, the city will be as guy as ever, ; and more so. Tiik Posts?! lirrstios. ?Some of the cheap and dirty newspapers are clamorous for a law of Congress, permitting all new*pa|?rs to pass free through the mails, for any di'tauoe and in any quantity. Such a proposition is perfectly preposterous, and can meet with little favor even among those classes of society who are aoi particularly well Informed. As the law stands at present, all exchange newspapers are conveyed free by the Post Office department; that is, the publishers of over twothousand newspapers tn the Vnitrd States receive each their journals and transmit their ow n, to all their contemporaries, free of postage. This I is certainly a liberal arrangement, and shows that there is no tax imposed upon the diffusion of intelligence. iiut the demand, that all nrwspnjiers should be free, is rather too impudent. With just as much justice or decency, these dirty newspaper publishers might call upon the people of the (nitcd States to pay their compositors' wages and their ps|etween the two conninea.

It hktltf kMi announced yesterday, through the medium of the newspapers, that this intrepid aeromut would, nt Vauxball Oardens, give an extraordinary eibibltton with hla balloon, some persons collected to witness the novel and dahgerous feat. During the prretis of Inflation, there was a good deal of koon pun wit in circulation, and more than once the Are bed nearly disappointed the hopes of the spectators, by the redoctioif of the whole affair to ashes. Once it actually caught Are. which, however, was extinguished before much damage wan done. Shortly before six o'clock tbe inflation was completed, when toe m waa attschid. and on the siguul to let go the ropes being given, the excitement became very great. This part of the business having been managed very unskilfully, tbe balloou struck against a tree, and then went a abort distance in a slanting direetlon, tearing up a polo which had been several feet in the ground, and tc which waa alill fastened one of tha ropes. By the effort of the aeronant himself and the exertlona of one or two in the gardens, thia difficjlty waa surmounted, and tbe hallo.u ascended amidst the elicers of those on krta Jit ma; but it bad nut proceeded far when it came in "violent contact with Doctor tiray's hooae, in Lafayette place, the oar lodgiffft on the front, and the main part of the balloon hanging from the ohimney top, Yardalle die played great eourage and self, poesersion while iu hia perilous situation He tried to open tbe bliuda of tbe window, which he was unable to do. hut he held on till he was relieved by those Inside. At first it waa thought that he could not, by any possibility, escape with bit life. Thousands surrounded Dr. (iray's house, to see the uiau who in* short time made his appearance, and seemed quite unoonoerned at what had oceurred, and only regrettlDg tbe serious injury which his stock in trade bad suffered. Tbe balloon having been disengaged from tbe chimney top, which has become of late a lavorite stopping place fur such vehiolea, it waa aonvejed to the garden, it is a bad wind which blowa nabody good; the failure of tbe ascent, and the elroumstances attending it. drew some thousands of men, women and boys together, very many of whom, after thw excitement had cooled down a bit, repaired to the bar of tbe bouse and there recruited their exhausted spirit* j by pouring spirits down The landlord made a good : thing of the business, but we think that thefewi(tiarI ters which Victor Vaidalle received will uot by any _ ! means cover tbe expense of the iuflation and the loaalie bus sustained by tbo uutoward event. On a former occasion, a similar accident happened to the same person in New Orleans; and if he went up by the heels ho came d swn head foremost, and bad well nigh beeu dash ed to pieces But nothing daunted, be tried his luck again, and made a beautiful ascent. The remarks wislrli were made during the preparation for the visit to Lh? ' clouds were exceedingly laughable One person said, " This speculation won't pay." " Ob ' said anoth-u-, | "there's no speculation iu it?it's life insurance that's concerned." A third exclaimed, at tho top of his voice, to the musicians who were perched up upon the roof ot the house, "liive us a tune?give as one of ths latest Polkas In your beat style. You are sitting there, like Kerrubs and tburribs, doing nothing; the people outside will think you are asleep.'' Here there was a retreat from the scene of the inflation?the stuff being turned over, caused a klazo ?when a chap roared out. "tbey will burn it up before they are done with it!" Tbe crowd theu dispersed. Police intelligence. *hmt 011 SiHfiu-ton. - A genteel looking young man, by the name of Horatio Deforest, was arrested early yesterday morning, on board the steamboat C.
