THE . SOFT" SUICIDE.

The differences between the rival Democratic
parties of this State, though they had other in-
citements and an earlier origin came to a head on
the subject Of Slavery in the Territories. For
six or eight years after the division among the
leaders was marked, the disciples of Van Buren,,
Sam. Yourg, Silss Wright, A. c. Flagg, &c, had
kept quietly along under the same organization
and apparently on the same platform with the
followers Of Croswell, Bronson. B0uck, Boards
ley, &c. 1t was not till after tle introduction
of the Proyiso OF Freedom BY David Wilmot, and
the vote Of the House thereon, that the quarrel
descended from the lesders to the masses, and
this upon the following resolve, submitted to the
Democratic State Convention assembled at Syra.
cuse Oct. 2, lci1;
"Rfsolred. That while the Democracy of New
York represented in this onvention. will f.it fully
e0here 10 all the compromises of the Constitution,

they declsre since the crisis has arrived wheu that
question must be met their rneompromlsiug hostility
TO the extension Of Slavery into territory nov free by
any action OF the Government Of the United States.
What was 1.-The crisis" which this resolve
declared "hss arrived" Not an attempt by
tie slayeboldp. interest to appropriate 10 itself
territory already consecrated to Freedom by CON-
psct between the North and the SIuth. No such
outrage was even contemplated BY any Interest
OF party. But We had gone to war with Mexico,
had beaten her, and we're about to despoil her of
territory; and il was well understood that the
Sou,bern States would claim the right to plant
Slavery on part if not all of that territory. Tas
the Radical or B1rnburner Democracy of our
s,ste were determined to resist; this was the
cause of their moving and supporting the sbose-
cited resolutions aud when the Hanker majodty
laid it on the table, the Barnburner minority

DrsrprcrIos or ANOTHER DIsTuLERY-L Los,
,pour s5o,OOO.-About 9 o clook last night hre
broke out in the extensive distillery Of Wllisn
Johpson's sons, located in the center of the block
bounded by Fifteenth and Sxteen'h-sts. and Ninth
and Tenth-avs.
The fire originated from the /" doubler, large
vessel through which tho liquor passes from the still
TO the worm tub. II is supposed that there was
defect ia one of the pipes through which the
loror escaped and communicated with Lighted
candle in the hands Of one of the employees
in the establishment Tho fire spread rapidly
through the two large buildings known as the
"Whisky Distiery," and for short time the streets
for some distance in the vicinity of the establish
ment were enveloped in dense cloud OF smoke. The
alarm was promptly given, but before the fremen Of
the district arrived the ground, the flames burst
forth from the roof Illuminating the whole City The
bright light caused by the burning building drew
thousands Of people to the ground, among whom, We
opine, were very few who lamened the destruction
of such an establishment. The 6remen labored with
considerable energy but their efo,ts proved OF but
little avail as this portion of the establishment, with
its contents, consisting of machinery, stock, &C.,
was entirely destroyed. Through the exertions OF
the iremen, however, the large five story brick
building contiguous to the distllery used as toro-
house for liquors. grain, &c, was saved from injury.
The greatest alarm prevailed among tho residents in
the vicinity, and many families hastily packed up
their furniture and removed it into the street.
The loss is roughly estimated at about $50 900 on
buildings machinery, stock, &c. The propretor'
are insured as follows: Continental Insurance Co.
$1,000, New.Amsterdam Insurance Co. o., 500, Home
Insurance Co. $1,000, Harmony Insurance Co Park
o., 50O Commonwealth Insurance Co. O., ,O0O Lori.
lard Insurance Co. $780, and Clinton Insurance Co
s2,5OO. The other buildings which escaped injury
arg injured in about seven other City offices. Tho
buildings destroyed were of brick with slate roofs

Pure Orange County Milk cut off tomorrow.
FIRE IN PLATr-sT.-This msroing about n
o'clock, a fire broke out in the four-story brick
building, No. Platt-sreet, occupied by Mr.. Thomas
Douglass, hardware manufacturer. The FIRE origina-
ted in the fourth-story. but how or in what manner
we could not ascertain. The fremen were early on
the ground aud soon succeeded in extnguishing the
flames; not however, before the building aud st)ck
we're damaged to the amount Of severa thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Douglass is partially Insured but in what com
panies could not learn, owing TO the lateness of
the hour. The lower portion Of the building ws*
flooded with water.

We laugh at the ghosts sometimes, but they are
nothing 20 the inventors Of perpetual motoh' One Of
,h.so wrote US a letter the other day asking Tor
eaptsl to build model and get his machine
introduced into public use, In exchange tf
which le munifcenily offered us oHe.teHh OF the

say that as you have not yet acceded to
"my proposition, from the simple fact that has not
"yet reached you, feel at liberty to retraet and
therefore do react from the offer of one-tenth OF The
"profts; still, ii you feel inclined to assist me- WI
"render you ample remuneration" The reason i0'
this sudden retraction is that the inventor intends
devote bis immense profits to the coed OF MANKIND
and cant think of diminishing the SUN by letting any
individual in for share. But be need not have ad'
dressed his retraction to even onetenth was no
temptation.

The Africa brings nothing decisive 10 respect
Of the negotiations for peace about to be resumed
by the Vierpa Conference. There ia, however,
very little chance that Russia will accede to the
terms proposed. The Austrian troops have entered
Wallachia while the Turks and allies are about
to move for the expulsion of the Russians re-
naming in Moldavia; after which they propose
to march Upon Odessa by land. The expedition
to the Crimea was to sail on August %. We have
the details of the capture of Bomarrund, by
which it appears that there was nothing like a
regular siege and that the Russians surrendered
long before there was any military necessity for
their so doing 1t is expected that the fortress
will be blown up since the allies cannot persuade
Sweden to join them and occupy it. The French
troops will embark, whether to return to France
or to operate against some other point on the
Baltic is doubtful In SPAN the Revolutionary
party continue TO control the Government, aud
the Conservatives are quitting the country.
From other ports Of Europe there is nothing of

Tile RIOT AT NEWARK.

Whether any Catholic or Cathohes dia of uiU
not throw stones at the late Protestant procession
in Newark, we leave to be determined 0! TUG
searching judicial inquiries which will OF course
be promptly instituted. That there are nom'nai
Catholics stupid enough, foolish enough oisoted
enough, rtfisnly enough, to commit such sn OUT
r,ee. il doubtless true; and not less true
is il that there are self-styled Protestants de-
based enough to throw those stones themselves In
order TO fasten the blame OF their CRIME oh tne
Catholics and excite the mustered thousands 70
riot and outrage. ON whonsoever the blame OF
having melted the recent outrage shall res'' 'ne
truth should be demonstrated beyond csyil.
But. whoever may have thrown those stones
we hold it already settled that they were MOI
thrown from the Catholic church which fell
victim to the fury they engeudered, and that no
,reparations for assault upon the procession had
been made therein. That church stands fairly
e,culpated from all ofense, and Its devastation Is
an unprovoked and shameful outrage, which re-
fleets great discredit on exark and on oeiugerent
Professionalism. And it ia worthy oil note th"
while this is the fifth or sixth Catholic edince
which has been destroyed or devastated by MOP
violence in our country, there is no instance Oh
record wherein Protestant house ot worship
has been ravsged by Catholics
We appeal to peaceful, intelligent citizens oi
whatever faith to unite in putting stop to these
deplorable outrsges. They are imported from
wretched Ireland, and are most repugnant to the
spirit of cur institutions. They tend to give in
portance to the most deprsved and dangerous
ysgsbonds in our country, who, but for theologi-
cal feuds and bitterness, must shrink into their
proper insgnfcsnce. They endauger the lives
and property not of Catholics oaly but OF all as
in the London "No Popery" riots of l7oO, gen.
erally attributed to Lord George Gordon, though
the rage of the populace was ostensibly directed
against the Catholics, it is certain that very
large proportion of the loss fell on Protestants'
They tend to Gil the land with hatred, maligulty
and broils: to launch the bolt of devastation,
give impunity to lust, justify arson and sanctity
murder.
Let the Police of all our cities be inexorabe In
srrestpg and prosecuting to cOndgn punishment
every one-no matter whether Catholic or Prot
estant-who makes Religion an excuse for vio-
ltnce and outrage. And, if the regular Police Is
not strong enough, let volunteer companies be or
ganzed to rally at momeut's warning to the de-
fense ef the public pea,e, and to ply their clubs
impartally and vigorously over the head and
shoulders Of every scoundrel who makes OF Re
liRion en- excuse for crime. A few months of this
practice would settle matters into their regular
channels and dismiss the streetranters aud brawi-
ers of all shapes and sorts to stone'breaking or
some other ft and audable business. This work
cannot be commenced too soon.
