New York.

All eyes are turned to this great Commonwealth
which has deep stake in the preservation Of the
Union 1t abounds in wealth beyond all its conied-
eratcs-ior it is the grand commercial emporium
and in measure the depository of the treasures Of
all Of them. This state of things which has made
1t so rich and powerful depends for its continu
ancs upon the preservation of the Union. That
Union destroyed, the thousand streams Of weatl
now pouring in upon 1t would dwindle away and
cease altogether But the very profusion of richc-.
which the Union has bestowed upon this great cit,
has tended to create the lax and dssoute morality
which threatens its premature destruction. Fertile
soils are proyerbinlly prolific OF noxious weeds-and
the most poisonous Of every species greatly abound
and grow luxuriantly in the hotbeds Of Gotham.
But notwithstanding the wild and crude notions the
demoralizing systems, the vicious and extrav.rar,
theories which the influx Of great and sudden wealth
operating upon rude and vulgar natures. may have
engendered, the whole body OF the community is no,
yet infected. There is still a great and solid mass u
sober-mnded people, both in city and country. who
are capable Of apprecatn, their interests. and the
interests Of the pubic-so intimately blended with
their own. We are assured that this body Of men
arc eKertng themselves, and may be confidently r..
lied on to exert themselves successfully in maintain
ing the conservative principles of the Republic
But they ask rs they have the right to do the SYM
pathy and active cooperation Of congenal spirits IN
the South. Both sections have permitted the wors,
portion Of their population to gain the asccndancy
and that ascendancy can only be recovered by the
vigorous and concerted action Of all conseryatiy,
men in both divisions OF the Union
