Tie Erpress sDnotatiDg upon our recent artl-
Gle on The Spirit Of the Southern Press hopes
that the South will not retsliate by publishing
the statement, Of crimes, suffering and p.uper-
ism In the northern cities. Such catastrophe
would indeed, be awful Genius Of tTsddle,
that northern editor can, in cold blood, perpe-
trate such stuff as implorng the southern press
not TO retaliate in such wise, because THE TRIB-
USE copies Advertisements and incidents touch
ing the rank despotism Of Slavery Va hope the
southern press will copy ali they can find against
the North including the stuff OF The EIPresS,
and the luscious or lewd advertisements which
find their way in the ,ink Of The Satanic. Why
should not the whole truth be known on the
subject Of our social miseres and cooceit BE- cor
rected and reforms aimed at Suppose all these
dreaded truths be inserted pictOrisy, or other
wise in the southern press, what does Il prove
Let US consider:
The worlds history presents no type no ante
cedeDt, no parallel to the social phenomena OF
New York. We have here the resources for the
erandest and most novel congratulations that could
occupy the attention or fire the rhetoric OF the
n
size has been e1temporized, which has suddenly
leaped tito the proportions Of population OF
nearly million, and will in few years be the
largest yet glowing on the worlds surface-into
this maelstrom of industrial and commercial
activity is drawn all nomadic Europe What
sight Each day it absorbs one thousand
human beings-baving crossed the WIDE
and ot
a haven Of rest, home OF promise.
-Four hundred thousand strong they come every
wear. No copqueror ever could, with despotc
power in the same space OF time collect aud
drag to a neighboring country even to battle,
such mighty mass as spontaneously travels sud
voyages htber over a distance Of four thousand
miles Drawn to this City, leaving their ma
tive homes, because they are under-paid and
Over-worked, and are, in word, generally poor
and hopeless, arrive the -Four Hundred Thousand
strong What wonder that among the myrisds
so arriving in new country, with strange insti'
tutoDs, customs and often language, there should
be many who cannot find employment. and must
depend on charity, or offer their services for
anything and everything, and that there should
be others who resort to crime for the bread which
they eat Let the Southern press make the most
of 1t. Let them twaddle if they can, as com
pletely as does The Express, and they will prove
WHAT That New.York City lives and thrives
even under such a siupendous load Of foreign
pau2erism and crime.
Adopting the suggestion of The Express, The
Richmond Eraminer copies somewhat at length
advertisements Of free men and free women III
New-York wanting places and employment, and
raps at TIE TRIBUNE for saying, as it did, that
every white person is worth $1,000 a piece.
That there are many persons without employment
in this City, we we're the first to show in detail
and extent, and that there should be an extra
quantity of Wants 10 the advertising columns
lie TOO true Evidently there is something
wrong in the hireliDg society," exclaim' The
Examiner after parade of such advertisements
ard accounts Of the workmen's meetings in the
Park Evidently there is something wrong, but
not so wrong that freemen cannot yet meet to
consider tlelr difficulties and distresses. The
wrong, however, il not Of our making in this
quarter. 1t is the Slavery nursing policy OF Wal
her n Co. insugurated anew in lSi6, of which
III, Examiner is an advocate, and against which
we have protested from the start
But the worst beegsry is preferable to Slavery,
for where is the beggar here so miserable that be
would accept Slavery as boon The ETamiHer
says:
Their workngmen are crying out for a mitigation
of that socs organization which enables the rich the
fortunate and cunning 10 rob them of their last ri
and moTsel and then turn them of to beg to sisrve
and die. They are oSllng out for socialism ana p1a-
apsteries where all may BE placed on level again

mon and free 10 all they are to the negroes on
Southern plantations. The working women snd
children are begging 10 be made slaves Of not merely
