GREAT ANTrSOUrHERh AND ANTtSLAvERY
MovENESr,-We understand that vast prepare
tons have been going on in this city, for several
weeks, in behalf of q grand coalition anti
Southern, anti-slavery, anti-sdministration an
ti-Lecompton mass meeting. To this end oil
the deserters from the democratic party, all the
anti-Lecompton Know Nothings, the rank and
file of the black republicans, and all our sym
pathising red republicans, French and German,
are to be raked and scraped Together for a
grand combined demonstration against the LIE
compton constitution.
Limited to this subject. this meeting would
be comparatively trifing affair; but as the
first distinct combination and fusion of all the
odds and ends of our administration par
signifcancy in reference to the Presidential
campaign of 1860. The leaders in the expert
ment comprehend The old Central Fremont
Committee Of 1856, the Fillmore Managing
Committees, and the boiling democratic follow
ers Of Douglas, Wise, Walker, Stanton and
Forney. Letters will be addressed to all these
gentlemen, and to others of the leaders Of the
anti-Lecompton forces, democratic, republican
and Know Nothing, at Washington and else
where and possibly Walker himself may be
the special orator of the day.
The arrangements arc all going on
with great activity; but we presume
the meeting will be held back until after the
passage of Lecompton through the Senate, so
that the demonstration may he made to tell
with the greater effect upon the House. We
are informed, however, that notwithstanding the
liberal sums Of money in behalf of this meeting
very politicians, our merchants and business
men betray remarkable indifference in the
matter. And why not? Our business classes
understand very well that while this niger ex-
citement is kept open, all sorts of business ope-
rations, North and South, must be embarrassed;
settled, it may perplex aud cramp all our COM
mercial and financial operations for years to
come.
II Il also manifest on all sides that our reii-
gious people have become sick ard Disguised
with political parsons and Kansas shriekers,
and are now absorbed in the more important
business Of the salvation Of their own immortal
souls. and in the conversion Of sinners. IL
therefore appears that, after all, neither our
mercantile nor religious classes will have much
to do with this proposed anti-hecompton turn
out, but that it will be limited pretty much to
disappointed Office beggars and plotting aad
agitating politicians.

~sCrEr PoluCAL ASSOCIATE, Some OF our
Newspaper ooteuporarics are raising 9 great
ou.cry al the existence Of lalf % dozen secret
democratic organization, outside cf tbe csclu-
fiyc secret society Of Tammany Hall 30.
what Il those scCrg societies d. exits Has
there ever been a political party without such
sectet clubs IN every hole aDd corrcr2 Have
not .he republicans and Me Know Notb,aes their
secret organizations, al this moment, in every
ward Of this city? And why this outcry, there
fore, against similar committees among the dc
mocracyY The fact is that all these secret clubs
and committees, Of all parties, are made up of
spoils jobbers and Office beggars. But while there
are political parties these accessories will exist
and they who do not like them will have to
lump them-that is all.

il will lot DO for the importers TO send out or
ders based upon the sales OF 1866 or 1857. Aud
for The present, We see very slender signs OF an
abandonment of the frugal policy dictated by
the reyulsiob.
This falling off in the public consumption is
one Of the most surprising phenomena of social
life in the United States. No such phenomenon
can lake place abroad. In England, the poor
classes live habitually Oh such very short allow
anoe that sny retrenchment would cause abso
lutte starvation, while the highest classes do not
need to retrcuch for hard times. 1t is so
in other countries. This is the only country
where couple of hundred millions can be saved
in a twelvemo nth ne combined reduction of
social expenditures, almost without any one
which the phenomenon is very curious. For in
stance, this retrenchment of which we boast,
will place the government in the greatest
straits for want of money. The sub-treasury is
already empty, and the government has been
obliged to borrow; but this is only the begin
ly from import duties retrenchment, which cuts
down importations, Will cut down the govern
ment income from this source. Our imports-
tions at this port for the months Of January and
February fell short of the corresponding months
of 1857 by over thirty millions Of dollars; and
we should not be surprised if the deficit in the
national budget this year amounted to an equal
sum. The specific which cures the country
kills the treasury.
1t is to be supposed that Uncle Sam will
somehow get out of the scrape; his credit is
good and money is easy. For the country at
large there could not be finer prospect than
the one which now meets the attentive and far
seeing eye-moderatc importations, reduced
consumption, especially of luxuries, abundance
of money at the great centres Of trade, gradu-
al and careful commercial revival, copious
foreign demand both for our great staples and
our best securities, excellent agricultural pro
mises, and thorough deyelopement of caution
among the merchants

How BANK RoGUEs ARE TREATED IN ENGLAND.
We see that six Of the directors of that oolos-
sal swindling concern, the Royal British Bank,
have been found guilty Of The charges preferred
against them, and sentenced to various terms of
imprisonment according TO the different degrees
of their completely. This is all very right
and proper. We should like to know when our
own bank rogues and defaulters are to undergo
the same process of correction. Here men &C.
cupying positions Of financial trust are daily in
the hsDt Of violating the confidence reposed in
them. Bank directors, cashiers and tellers are
all equally ready TO avail themselves Of the i'm
punity with which the lax administration Of the
law covers their misdeeds. Moral disgrace IL

NORTH FAIRFIELD, Feb. 9th. 1853.
DEAR NJ: On Saturday the Goth. we went to
Fitchville, Huron CO., where Mr.. Rowland had
preceded US, and made arrangements for q meet
ing on the evening of that day.
FIRST MEETING AT rIrcHvILLE.
A congregational clergyman of the name of
johnson, and who is in theory a Gerrit Smith man,
has been preaching in Fitchville for about two
years, but within that time has uniformly refus
ed to administer the acrament to the people he
breaches to, or to partake Of it himself in COM
pany with those who recognize Shareholders as
christians.
The Methodist meeting house was opened to us
on Saturday evening on the authority Of one
member, and the Baptist house was promised for
our meeting on Sunday forenoon. The person
who had granted the Baptist house, ate, wards
became n little uneasy, and came to Mr.. johnson,
who was at our meeting, and asked him, What
do you think of these persons! 81 have not a
very favorable opinion of their christianity" was
his reply. Tile Baptist house was closed against
US. Those who are wise enough to discover the
cause of such an effect, may do it. l state the
facts in the order in which they occurred.
Mr.. johnson knew nothing Of Mrs. Jones or
myself, and almost nothing of Mr.. Rowland. lie
had, however. learned from a private conversation
with Mr.. II. that the latter believed that q man
might be q christian and yet not believe in the
Observation-Disclosures his unjust, uncharitable, and
unchristian assertion respecting our company.
Mr.. johnson having thrown out an intimation
that Disunionists would not discuss the Constitu.
tional question with Gerrit Smith men, on Satur.
day plight We publicly invited him to meet us in
debate on Monday evening. He did not accep,
this invitation, but said, that IF he felt disposed to
controvert any of our positions, he would do SC
under the general invitation we extended to those
who differed from us.
SUNDAY MEETINGS.
Not being able to obtain any church in which
to hold our meetings on Sunday, We occupied a
room in the Academy, forenoon, afternoon and
evening. During the day our audiences were very
small, for the endorsement given our christianity
by Rev. Mr.. johnson, the leading abolitiunist o.
the place, was, I doubt not, operating against US
And then beside. the Rev. gentleman proclaim'
in season and out Of season, that it is a sin and a
shame for a woman to speak in public. Our audi
ences, however. gradually increased in size, and
in the evening the house was 6lled. As Mrs. J.
did not attend the meetings on Souday, and a. the
