We said the other day, that from the chaos of the
present Lew organizations would be evolved. That
parry would emerge from the confusion of the break

State and the Union, with power that nothing could
reset. Albany State Register.
Yes, The Register "said" this, and No one
dissenttd; but when The TRIBUNE said substal-
italy the same thing The Register and its cronies
pOunced upon US as if we had been guilty of high
treason against the peace, power and permanence
of the National Wing party. Nou they admit
that all their affected concern for the well being
of that party was 3 sham-that they had in fact
scutted the old hulk and set it on fire, even while
they were necessarily vOcifersting "Stick to her
$50 long as ,he has a rag above water" Have
they not played a most deceptive, dishOnorable
game
The new party which The TRIBUNE heralded
was the REPUBLICAN party-OPposed to all prisi-
leges of caste, or creed or color, and IN favor of
All Rights for All. The Registers new party Is
based on the radically hostile idea of inequality

honest diversities of religious conviction. In

bic attempt, in 1871, to expel JOHN QUINCY
ADAMS from the House of Representatives, for
having presented petition for peaceful disco
luton of the Union. Mr.. Giddingss tribute to
the intellectual as well moral qualities eyirced
by Mr. Adams in that struggle to his intrepidity
as well as his elOquence, was unbOunded in its
htartness and thrilling in its delinestiOns. Mr..
Giddirgs is often betrayed BY his haste into speak
ing whole sentences indistinctly, so that his more
distant hearers cannot catch even their import;
but his lecture, as whole, was effective and

thus wiz paralysis 60 on, until it viii have EN-
braced every pursuit in the country. Of primers
alone there are now, il is stated. no. less than
five hundred in this City out of employment,
with fair prospect o. seeing the number largely
incressed-as men who Cannot sell their lsbor
cannot buy either books or newspapers.
The cause Of all this stOPpage OF circulation i'
10 be found in the steady outflow Of gold, to pay
foreign laborers for the cloth the shoes the iron
and other thingstbst should be produced by Ameri-
can labor but which cannot be so produced IN
der our present revenue system. If we could
stop the import of the foreign articles, the gold
would cease to flow out to pay for them, aud mo-
ney ould then again become more abundant
labor would then again be indemsnd-shoes, cloth
ing. and other commodities would then again
be in demsnd-and men would then cease to
starve in the streets of oar towns and cities. II
it be not stopped, the gold must continue TO go
abroad, and employment mast become from day
to dsy more scarce, until we shall again see the
tine when, as was the case in 1872, Men shall
be everywhere crying: "Give me work Ooly
"give me work Make your own terms my wife
"and children have nothing 10 eat
II is time for laborers and mechanics Of all
kinds to look into these matters for themselves
II the gold shall continue to flow out at the rate
of million week, the result must be, every
where through the country, ruin to the employ
ers, and poverty and distress, even if not starva
ton, to those who heretofore have been employ
ed. We are now but at the commencement Ct a
paralysis TIT threatens to equal, if not even to
exceed, that of the last period OF British free
trade, and whose threatenings must be real'zet
unless those who have labor to sell Will exert
themselves in the effort to produce suca change
of policy az will keep the gold at homo for the
pay ment of American labOrers, instead Of send
ing il abroad for the payment of German, French,
and English labor.

THE CRISIS.

The cry of Hard Times reaches US from every
part of the country. The making of roads Is
stopped, and the road. makers, deprived of wages,
cannot buy cloth OF shoes. The building OF
houses is rapidly coming to close, and will be
absolutely closed so soon as those now in course
Of construction are completed-for of them,
there are few that could this day be sold excep.
at loss of twenty or thirty per cent, or perhaps
much more. TheRceforward, the carpenters,
brick layers, and laborers will be in the same
condition as the road makers. The building of
ships must stop, for ships can only now be sold
at enormous loss, and thenceforward the ship
builders will find it as difficult to purchase
clothes as the road. makers and the carpenters.
The stoppsge of the power to purchase On the
pant Of all these men will stop the factories, and
