New YoRK, Oct. 81, 1850.
Your Southern readers will not have failed to
notice the accounts Of the stampede yesterday
among the Abolition merchants OF this city. Il
was natural enough movement had been made
among the other merchants, dealing largely with
the South, to get grand demonstration in sup
port Of the fugitive slave bill, as proper and lust
measure of compromise towards the South.
paper was sent round among the merchants to be
signed, and on an intimation that such merchants
as refused, would be exposed for the information
OF Southern dealers, great was the tribulation of
the Epe,ring Post and the .Ntw York Tribune. They
have become perfectly infuriated at the idea that
the compromise merchants should attempt or as
sumo TO punish them for their abolition sentiments
There are already four thousand signatures to the
paper calling compromise meeting next Wednes-
day. "'
II is certainly the duty Of Southern men of busi-
ness, coming to New York to purchase goods, 10
be sure that they give not their patronage to those
houses whose owners appropriate Southern pro-
hts to the dissemination of Abolition doctrines |;
and the Nsp York Herald and the Journal Of Com
merce, for the course which they have pursued in
the matter, are entitled to thankful remembrance.
II is evident, also, that in this city there is be-
ginning to be lively apprehension that the South
are in earnest, and that there is of alarm lest
the organizations for non-intercourse, and the final
adjustment OF divorce, conclusive and perpetual,
should come upon them, carrying with it thirty
millions Of revenues, and $500 200 900 of business
capital from the North to the South. The dollar
and cent calculation being the great bond Of union
with the North, they can understand 1t when ap-
pied by the South, and can appreciate it; but we
fear it Is too late. .. 49,.
The great fair at Castle Garden has been closed
II had two great objects in view--to make money
and to make capital for the protection Of Northern
manufactures. DIR. Arnold delivered very dis
tressing speech in support of protection and the
Union, as il the one were necessarily blended with
| the Othpr---as if the condition ,uhich the
Union is to last, is, that the South shall be taxed
to support Northern factories and foundries. The
idea is getting to be obsolete, as DIR. Arnold will
learn before another session Of Congress expires.
The admission OF California, ifnot the last feather,
is the last feather but one which breaks the cam
els back and the addition Of another, will bring
the overladen animal down upon his launches.
You will have read in the papers Of this city
the reports Of the late New England fanatica
gathering at Worcester, Massachusetts,, Of men
and women, blacks and whites, preachers Of in
fidelity and preachers of divinity-preachers Of
treason to church, State, and society, and preach
ers of such universal love to God and man, that
nothing short of a general and miscellaneous
equality of malgamation of both sexes and Of all
coiors, will answer their purpose. 49,"
Abolition ofslavery, however, at this Woman IS
Rights Convention, was the leading topic. Lu-
cretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Abby Kelly, Lloyd
Garrison, Fred. Douglass, the fugitive slave, and
SoJourner Truth, lady of color, were the ruling
spirits of this most detestable gathering Of crazy
fanatics, at Worcester, Massachusetts,; and their
speeches, full of the odor of the rankest abolition
ism and amalgamation, and their resolutions, re-
duced to one word, contemplate nothing less than
the reduction of society to the basest and most Ii
centous socialism. And yet these are the crea-
lures, whose especial organ is the .Nep York 7ri-
b1tne, one Of the leading champions Of the Wing
party in this State, and foremost in defence Of
Seward and the Syracuse resolutions. With such
materials involved in the coming election, it be-
comes something decisive to the South if the
Seward interest is successful Our present impress
sions are that there is powerful under current
operating in this city in the hig ranks, against
the Wing ticket, chiefly among men of large bust
ness operations with the South, whose influence is
powerful enough, if exerted, to decide tie day.
But as the Democratic ticket has the full endorse
ment of the Van Burens, the result TO the South is
almost as much a matter of Indifference the
fight between her husband and the bear was to
Sally Jones.
Jenny Lind continues the loness and the idol of
Gotham. Go where you will in the remotest and
obscurest corner of the city, you will see her por'
traits In the shop windows, and you will hear that
she is the theme Of conversation. Rain or shine,
high prices or low, she fills the vast capacity OF
She has brought into this city, perhaps not less
than million Of dollars in the way of trade
| Country merchants, otherwise dealing in Pha.
deIphia, or Baltimore, or Boston, have come Oh
| here TO purchase their goods, because of the op
portunity offered them of hearing Jenny Lind
And they who have heard her once, would trave
just as far to hear her again, according to circunl
stances. ~. SH @#" ......
We are gratifed IN state to you that Admiral
Reside, Of Washington, is now here, with very
fair prospect Of driving an arrangement with Jenny
for concert or two in Washington. IF she does
come, and you want to hear " music as is music, !"
whole flock of nightengales of robin red breasts
warbling IN her throat at the time, do go and
hear the immortal Jenny Lind.
The arrival Of the steamer Pacific from Europe,
brings us abruptly to the end of this chapter.
