Among the Letters from the People which we this
morning publish, which merits particular atten-
ton well from its sub from the character of the
author whose name is signed to IT, We refer TO the
communication of Mr. FOOTE of New-IIayen under the
significant title of Freedom and DisunOn. The
writer is a retired and wealthy man of business, of
ripe years and moderate and conservative tendencies
No person could be unlikely to take extreme
fsnatical views of any great public question, and yet
we find him coOly advocating Dsunion as the means
Of extrcatDg the free States not only from all part
cpation in the crimes and evils of slayehOldng, but
from the degraded position of tools and abetors in the
extension of the accursed system. At the same time
be boldly proclams what is doubt true that separa
ton would be great pecunary benefit 70 the Northern
stues We publish bis communication as an evidence
Of the conclusions at which sensible and quiet
arriving under the conviction that no agreement or
compromise which the South may make this subject
can be relied on and that southern faith to-day is as
worthless as Punic faith Ofold IT, they ssy-and there
are thousands of such men-this Union is to be con-
yerted into great instrument for the propagation aud
perIetuation Of Slavery Let it Perish Such is yhe
effect of the Nebraka perfdy at the North and such is
tie spirit to which these conspirators have given birth
among the most calm and rejecting classes OF our Peo

The consprators at Washington are not easy in view
of the response their great is provoking from
all casses of the Northern people They cannot bear
have fhe policy scrutinzed and passed upon from the
religious and Moral point of vew,-and this ia not
prsipg. The memorial Of three thousand clergymen
of New-EDgland against the Nebraska bill yesterday
elected decided manifestation of the state of mind
With which Douglas & Co contemplate the Judgment
that conscientious and religious men of all parties and
denominations at the North necessarily entertain with
regard to them. In the Senate, Mr.. Douglas, Mr
Mason, Mr. Butler and others of the Slavery prOpa-
gandists greatly disturbed by this memorial but
rome of them so much as Douglas He was sardonic
and bitter at the idea that the clergy of New England
should memoriaize Congress and should declare
measure before that body to be wicked measure Mr.
Houston and Mr. Seward defended the memoriaists
mabfully and Mr.. Everett moderately. In the House
the memorial was not even received or allowed to be
read and had to be carried out of the Chamber. How
far this treatment of proper memorial from most
worthy body of men will tend to reconcile the Northwn
people to the final passage of the bill will probably be
seen hereafter.

We call the attention of the Legislature TO the
cessity of further aud more stringent enactments
against lotteries. This Kind Of gambling is now eI-
ten,vey practiced in this City under the form OF wha,
are called Gift Enterprises, and spectators are be
coming rich out Of them at the expense Of the morals
and the money Of the community. They give a certsin
consideration for the paid admission to an eI.
bibition subscription to newspaper, or something
of that sort, and in addition distribute limited mum
berOf valuable prizes among the ticket holders These
few prizes are the lures to entrsp the foolish, and
crafty the passion for gambling. In the of the
only one of thse lotteries yet carried through the law
has been eyaded by keeping the property offered as
prizes out of the State where it cond not be reached
by our authorities, and holding the drawing in place
where il is not Illegal Several other affairs of the

The Missouri Compromise Of itself bad enough
and too bad The traditional policy and the practice
Of the Government, from the time of the Conedera-
ton, exclusion of Slavery from the Territories.
And it was great surrender on the part Of the free
States to allow Slavery to GO west Of the Mississippi at
all But they yielded the great trust of freedom when
Louisiana was acquired and allowed Slavery 10 enter,
or rather recognized its existence therein. When q
resoue effort made in 1S2O TO prevent its spread,
the North succumbed and Missouri given over to
Slavery but by common consent on the part Of the
South what Territory beside that lay north Of 36o 3d.
was sOlemnly secured to freedom. And now, st the
first suggestion of surrender this too is to follow the
rest and be yielded to Slavery 1t to 20 gatutousy
too. 1t is voluntary sacrifice OF which the only
dtOn is good chance at the Presidency by those who
sell il out.
Are we not close upon the demonstration that human
liberty is no safer in the hands of northern doughfaces
than il the hands of a despot
is it asked what the North can do Destroy the
breed of doughfaces. Break every man of them upon
the wheel and SOW salt upon the ground that grows
them. There is no other remedy If we are sold
this time, Kansas becomes slave territory at once
Nebraska viii probably follow suit though e1xAorii-
nary exerticn may it. But il is too much TO ex-
pect. Organize the North for reclamation and defense
Reestabsh the Missouri Compromise line Resist
the admission of either hereafter as slave State
Make these two condIiOns qua in the election

northern Presidents who not doughiaces In this
way only be regained what now to be lost if the
Nebraska swindle is consummated. The country
bushes when it thinks Of HuIs surrender What was

nation burns with indignation sthe name Of Benedict
Arnold But ArnOlds was but attempted and baffled
treachery On the accomplished treason Of the Kansas
and Nebraska conspiracy, how much more intense
should be the condemnation Of the people who are be-
trsyed, how much more blasting the judgment of man
kind These men who would thus rafle Of freedom
for the Presidency, would not hesitate to offer the
Kingdom Of Heaven at auction they could make any
thing by it.

Mr. LYNCH of Tie Irish american addresses some
earnest and excellent advice to the readers of hst pa
per, which we trust may not pass unheeied. Ii is
briefly that in the approaching festival of St Patrick
Day they should avoid intox ,atng drinks AMI above
all, that all provoking expressions used with view 10
produce disturbance by parties hos lie to the Irish and
to Catholicism, should be received with gOOlhumored
forbearspce, and made the occasion for retaliation
and riot This course, lie justly observes. will secure
to them the respect and sympathy of all classes of
citizens which any other line Of conduct must forfeit
And TO Americans be says that St. Patrcks Day is not
religious but national festival, one of the few
oIa memories left to poor Ireland and thar is cee
brated by Protestants there as we'd as by Catholics.
We trust these suggestions may have their due weight
in the minds Of all parties and that the fear Of disturb
srce on that Jay may prove to have been altogether
pICuuCless
