The politics of the State of New York, by way of distinction called the "Empire State" are the constituents of his political stock. A native of this State, the largest in the Union, by series of intrigues, by shift ing from party to party as each became strongest, he has gained uncontrolled power over it's counseIs, and making the State the falcrum of his lever, he would hoist himself into power.
 Let Us for a moment, pay some attention to the politics of the State, and her power.
 The facts here given, are taken from the most authentic sources.
 The amount of real property in the state ot N. York, by assessment, for 1884, was four hundred and 6tty-three millions, three thousand two hundred and one dollars. It's population is enormous; in five years, t is said, 1t will amount to three millions of souls, as many as the United States eoE- tained at the Revolution and in that time, she will have one million of men capable of bearing arms; she has arsenals and arma- ments, and her annual income Is three mil
 lions of dollars. The power here present. led, constitutes an Empire, indeed and how dangerous is fl when 1t is all used to oppress ihe South, and 10 manage the ope- ratlons of the Federal Government
 Ii is easy to prove that while MT. Van Buren is holding out the idea that he is friendly to the South, he Is welded 10 the interests of this mammoth State-and that he Is using her as one of his most powerful instruments
 Ineed not repeat inc fact that the inter- ests of Virginia and New fork. and the po- ltties of the two States. are directly opDo- site. y CIV York Is an Internal improve ment and Tariff State Virginia iust the re- verse. The one Is Manufacturing, the other Planting State. No man, then, can serve both. lie might just as well attempt to serve ssGod and Mammon,'' religious lmpossibility. New York has at all lines been found arrayed against Virginia and tho South as she always viii be found.
 Bat letus dwell a little on particulars. In previous number 1 remarked, that when l came to speak of New York pali- tics would dwell little more on the se- cret motives of that State in originating the Missouri Restrictions. It IS evident that selfshness and jealousy, and not humanity were at the bottom of that move. The at tempt to keep Missouri out of the Union, while 1t appeared to rise from a weeping h,l- manity, sprung from yellow eyed jealousy. and the real motive was hId under spacious hypocrisy. beg attention to the following. which atm able to present to my readers through the industry of Major Noah. Itis extracted from the Albany Argus, Mir. Van Bufen.s print, and was written about the time the Missouri Restrictions were agita- ted.
 Read the following:
 sit IS fact, which is singular from it's not having attracted more general obserya- ton, that our ablest statesmen, not only from the North, but in the South, have re- centiy spoken on inc floor of Congress- with the greatest apPrehensioas of the alarming increase of the Confederacy. This is all to the South and West; there is nothing in the North to balance t, and the equilibrium is of course destroyed.
 'sWhen our ablest statesmen are oues- toned on the subject, some will express ar dent hopes, but always mingled with strong fears; others will directly say that there Is q point beyond which THE CHORD OF THE ARCH CANNOT BE STRETCHED"
 In speaking of the diversity of interests between the slaveholding and non-slave- holding States, the writer proceeds to glve the power of New York, and 10 prove that she may exist as separate Republic.
 Alter admitting the right of State Soyef- eighty, which the State of New York now denies, the writer says
 ''New York, for instance, which makes so brilliant display on the map of the Un- ion, extending from the great lakes to the Atlantic, reclining on the St. Lawrence, and reposIng on the bosom of the ocean, enabra- cing an extent of territory equal to England, a more fertile soil, and abounding with all the means of agriculture, commerce ard this State has all the attri- bules of sovereignty. A numerous, well trained militia, arsenals, &c.; in fact, she IS an IMPERIUM IN IBrPERIo, clothed with every species of civil and military author- ty.n
