JOSHUA Il. GIDDNGs FULLY ENDORSES TEE
ROCHESTER, MANIFEsro.-We publish to-day the
material portions of the late letter of Joshua r.
Giddings, of Ohio, on the Oberlin fugitive slave
rescue cases, from which it will be seen that he
endorses the teachings and doctrines of Mr.. Sew
ards Rochester manifesto to the fullest extent
GiddiDgs says fatty that the parties who disre-
garded the law in that fugitive rescue case "did
right" that "their error consisted in sparing the
lives of the slave catchers;" that "those pirates
should have been delivered over to the colored
men and consigned to the doom of pirates, which
should have been speedily executed" and, to
cap the climax, this veteran abolition sinner sub
stantially declares that when fugitive slaves can
no longer be seized with impunity from the
hands OF their masters and spirited off to Cana.
da, it will be high time to abolish the federal
government and set up new one. All this
may be considered the raving of an insane abol-
ZIONIST of the crazy Garrisonian school; and yet
these bloody instructions of Giddings are per-
fectly consistent with those of the Rochester
manifesto and its "irrepressble conflict" with
slavery. Seward may return from the ''irre-
preside conflict" in Europe better and
wiser man; but having given his cue to Gid
dings, he must be content to be laid upon the
same shelf among our political fossils; and there
will be an "irrepressible conflict" against him
until this thing she'll be accomplished.

Music IN THE MErRoPoLIs.-The particular at
tention that has been paid during the last twen-
" years to the musical education of our youth,
especially those Of the beau seze, has had great
tendency towards making the taste for music
universal. What was considered LUXURY is
now almost a necessity, and the most modest
household is not completely furnished without a
pianoforte. Thetusiness of music printing and
publishing has increased 80 as to rival that of
the European capitals; the Opera audiences are
fastidiously critical and our resident musicians
are producing works which will compare favor
ably with those of the best masters abroad.
Composers, artists and professors find Themselves
more free here than in Europe, and, ether things
being equal, prefer to stay with us. Thus we
have in New York teachers who are in every
way capable to complete the education or M

fear, but everything to hope for, from the party
and the country.
May we not, then, all these things considered,
discover, with the advent Of the year 1860, that
the present divisions Of parties and sections upon
the remains of the Kansas niger agitation have
ceased to exist; that new order of things and
reconstruction of parties is at hand, and that the
democracy, reorganized upon the basis of the
satisfactory and popular administration of Mr.
Buchanan, have again the Presidency at their
command. Are we not in the midst of an epoch
of the most momentous and comprehensive
political changes and reconstructions, and can we
expect to escape?
