The Feeling in New York.


The New York Day Book, an Administration
compromise paper, thus frankly confesses the
unsoundness of public sentiment in the Empire
| State. It's admissions are the more to be relied
upon because it is testifying against the interest
of its party and its immediate friends.
Its issue of March 3lst, contains a leading
editorial, from which we Gull the passages sub
joined. They bear the impress of truth and
conviction, and any amount of glozing speeches
professions, and promises from politicians impo-
tent to influence even the people Of the little
villages in which their residence is placed, yet
who presume TO speak anthortativey for masses
must fail to answer them. The Day Book
says;
cit is useless to deny that the majority of the
people of the State OF New York--leaving out
this city--are deadly opposed to slavery, and
have fully made up their minds that it is their
religious duty to do all in their power to de-
stroy il in the United States. To use the words
of an old merchant, the State is rotten with abo-
litionisml Take out the cities Of New York
and Brooklyn and we can scarcely name n town
where the out-and out Aboli,ousts would not
have n majority of the votes in a contest with
the Silver Grays or Old Hunker Democrats. SO
determined are the people in the western part of
this State to destroy slavery some way or some
how, that they look upon what are termed Union
lists in this city as their natural enemies, and
they insult and taunt members of the Union
committee with cowardce, knaveiy, treachery,
&c, &c.
Country merchants now in town, 90 boldly
| into the stores and counting-rooms of our citi-
zens, and begin to iaunt them with having sold
themselves to the South. They call them dough
faces men who have no souls no patriotism
no minds nor principles above dollars and cents
| They tell us that the Southern people are
knaves, tyrants, and thieves; and that they have
no respect or regard for them whatever And
rs for dissolution or secession, their language is
Z" Let them dhe Soutb) go! they have always
been a curse and burden, and The sooner they
90 ont of the Union, and use themselves up, the
better. Their negroes then will all run away
and they will have to go to work themselves, ms
we do and get their living honestly Any one
Mt all acquainted with the course of the Albany
Evening Journal and the N. Y. Tribune, readily
sees that this language is Of their teaching, and
comes from their school. The patronage given
to the Tribune in this city, by our merchants
4 and brokers, and to the Evening Journal by the
Wing party, has enabled them TO circulate
through this State and Ohio, thousands and
thousands of copies Of their cheap weeklies,
filed with these sentiments, and slurs against
New Yorkers, until they have poisoned the pub
lie mind, and turned the current of feeling dead
against us.

THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1851.

"The Southern Press of this city, with its cha
racteristic modesty and its accustomed want OF
conceited arrogance, denounces the State OF
Virginia for the answer it has recently given to
the invitation some time since extended to her
to take the lead in Southern Congress. We
rather think that the Old Dominion can afford to
look with becoming silence, engendered by be-
coming contempt, on any denunciatons coming
fiom such quarter. Weare sure, at least, that
when her character or honor is Mt stake, and she
entertains any doubt as to her course, she will
not even in the last extremity look for advice
and guidance to vapid disunion print, impotent-
ly conducted by an ex-abolitionist, who now
believes that it is wrong to prevent marriages
between white women and black men, and O
South Carolina Wing, who believes-God knows

10 sum up all, the stern majesty of his ercc,
and immovcabie attitude-the severe, yet high
ly expressive conference.-the fash of his
brilliant eye-the compressed lp--the quick
trumpet-like tones of his voice-the suppressed
passion, and energy of his whole being, mind
and bOdy--the lofty and elevated sentiments
which weled up from his breast or from a
perennial fount-the deep conviction of the
truth Of every word he uttered-all combining
to set before the hearer, in style of deepest in-
pressiveness, the most brilliant thoughts and the
profoundesi wisdom, rendered Mr.. Calhoun the
most effective orator that ever addressed the
Senate. ] say the most effective; aud, in using
90 strong term Of eulogy, speak with refer
ence to the fact that during the last fifteen years
Of which he was member of the Senate, owing
to his peculiar position in that body--as the
guardian of the Constitution against party
views, he was necessarily much oftcner on the
door than any other senator; and never failed to
command the most profound attention OF that
august body. The same remark cannot justly
be made as to any other American orator simi-
larly situated"
with Mr.. Calhoun there was no distinction
between public and private virtue. The great
rules Of right and wrong, which all acknowledge
should govern the intercourse Of individuals
with each other--but which appear, as by general
consent to have been discarded from the code
Of political ethics, governed his conduct, both AZ
an individual and MS a statesman. II IL u sad
commentary on public life, that this should have
made him marked man, in the midst Of his
compeers. He was, indeed, singularly pure.
Though passing through the fierce ordeal of a
strife of forty years with the relentless spirit OF
party--in which political exigency demanded the
destruction of his influence, calumny and detrac-
ton stood back in awe Of the majesty Of that
character, which, whether considered as that OF
a statesman--of citizen--or of the head of a
family, was a model of truth--candor--and
justice.
Though ever engrossed in thought and re-
flection on matters of the highest consideration,
who ever approached Mr.. Calhoun's presence,
Instead of finding him, as might well have been
expected, fenced in with that formal dignity
usual with men whose names are associated
with important events, were at once charmed
by a manner-unafiected, frank and easy--and
with conversation in which the artessness and
simplicity of childhood were beautifully blended
with tho experience and wisdom OF age.
However high lowered the grandeur of his
character as statesman, it but harmonlzed with
the elevated purity--the truthfulness and JUS
tice which marked his intercourse with society.
It has been no less truthfully, than beautifully
and impressively said, His was the soul OF

QUEEN Cry HAMs-At the establ 'shment of
Schooley a. Hough in Cincinnati, one day last
week, nine men, in nine hours, canvassed 3,i0S
hams. The Gazette gives the following account
of the process:
The ham after being smoked, is inspected by
one individual, and passed TO the paperer; it is
then folded into sheet Of strong hard paper,
and in such manner as to exactly fit the ham.
This papering is extremely difficult TO do, as we
noticed that the hands Of the individual doing
this work W ere worn through the skin in places,
producing now and then drops of blood on the
paper. The ham is now passed TO the cutter of
the canvass, who fits it with cotton sheetng; it
is then carried off by boy, who places il on the
floor in front of the sewers. The sewers are
arranged in two lines, running parallel from the
rear of the stand where the papering and cutting
is done. The speed and perfect system with
which this canvassng is carried on, is truly re-
markabe. Each sewer is compelled to take the
ham from The floor, thread his needles, knot the
thread make fine stitches, sew in a strap for
the ham to hang by, &c. This is done with
each ham.
