Danger OF the County, Position OF Things
ut Washington.
Wall street, through all ITS business ramllica-
tions, is beginning to feel uneasy at the prospect OF
things at Washington. and at the repeated declara-
irons coming from various quarters, that the Will
mot proviso, which The North has been endeavor-
ing, tor years, TO force down the threats OF the
South may lead to consequences Of fearful and ter
rible import Even the journals of Wall street, the
organs of usurers and spectators, in that region OF
piety, refinement, and roguery, mutphers to in
hnity-even these organs are beginning to feel
fdeetty and restless, and TO look the question,
It's causes and its origin, and TO depore the con-
sequences that may likely ensue. All OF a sudden,
II has been discovered by the Wall street journals
by the Wall street stock jobbers-by the Wall
sire, I saints and millionames-that Garrison, and
certain other crazy men New England, have
been engaged, for the last fifteen twenty years,
In deliberate plan for the dissolution of the Unlon
on the slavery questionable cause Of 80 much ill
feeling between the North and the South.
This great and mighty fact has been discovered
by those wise men and editors, and saints and
swndlers but they forget that the immediate
crisis which now paralyzes public AFFAIRS in the
Congress of the United States sitting at Washing

humbugs set on foot by their own associates
The politicians of the Northern and Eastern
States They need net go farther back than
the last two OF three years, and read the
sp,t chts of Seward, the messages OF Fish, or the
eauons If many Of the other politicians IN New
York, New England and Ohio, To find the seeds Of
the difficulties which now parayse affairs at
Washington, and tie up the government Of the
United States, making 1t unfit for any purpose or
any use IN life. For years and years, our columns
have resounded, day after day, month after month,
with warnings Of the approach Of that crisis which
was gradually maturing, under the shocking, de-
morsliZng and miserable denunciations OF Sew
ard, Corwin, aud such like politicians of the whig
party, not forgetting their associates among the
locoioces. Both parties at the North have been
pursuing the same course OF policy. producing that
state of publc opinion, creating that alienation be-
tween the North aud the South, which is now be-
ginning TO tell in Washington, and which may lead,
before two years have expired, TO the division and
dissolution Of this glorious Union.
II il not Garrison, nor Douglass, nor any other
Of the black, white CT spscSled, crazy philosophers
Of Boston. Syracuse or New York. that could have
produced such a crisis as now exists IN the public
affairs Of this great and glorious Unlon aud which
prevents any action, or rather paralysis the pro-
Greetings OF Congress. They could have accom-
plshed no purposes of their own, il the whg asp,-
rants and politicians, including many OF the loco
foco school, had not entered the arena, and en-
d,avoIed To turn the dirty abolition weapons To
their own advantage for local purposes. Seward
ard his associates AT Washington are the great,
and mighty and terrible criminals, who will have

ton Of this Union, II 1t shoud take place.
The wing journals here, well some OF the
miserable locoioco prints, are equally as deep in
guilt, and folly, and in crime. Look even at the
course Of the wings during the present session Of
the Legislature at Albany Look al the resolu-
tons brought INTO both branches Of that body, by
the little wing leaders II this State Look at the
speeches and movements of Raymond, from Wall
