The New ABOLITION CRusADE-The new abo-
lition crusade which is to be maintained by the
proceeds Of the sale Of Old Browns photo
praphs, is growing apacc in Massachusetts and
other quarters. The nominal design Of raising
money in this way is to support the family Of
the condemned Brown, but it is really, as Mr.
Emerson says, to give aid to all his sympa-
thisers, or, in plain language, to get up another
raid upon the Southern States-to create SER
vile insurrection, and spread rapine and muir
der throughout the South. 1t is strange to be-
hold the quiet, peaceful villagers of New Eng
land, who would be struck with horror at the
shedding of drop Of blood in their own COM
munity, pouring in subscriptions in aid Of
scheme to commit wholesale murder elsewhere.
Just in the same manner they subscribed to
send rifles to Kansas to murder in cold blood
men whom they had never seen, and who had
done them no personal wrong. Yet the very
persons who contribute for these purposes of
bloodshed and murder would almost colIapse
with horror if homicide was committed, nav.
even if dog or chicken was ruthsessly killed,
in their quiet little neigbboihood. This is a
curious phase, certainly, in modern humani-
tarianisfu,

The SCRUB RACE FOR CORPORATION COUNSEL
There is ''much ado about nothing" in all
quarters concerning the candidates for Corpo-
ration Counsel, and we shall probably have as
many in the held between this and election day
as are now out for the May oralty. We have
before given our estimate OF the value of the
Corporation Counsel to the city, and an excel
lent illustration Of it is furnished by the report
Of General Superintendent Plsbury. by which
it appears that over five thousand violations Of
city ordinances were reported to the Corpora
ton Counsels Department within the last quar-
ter, and we have no account Of what became of
them 1t is the duty Of the Corporation Attor-
ney to enforce these ordinances relate
principally to throwing ashes and garbage in
the streets, and encumbering the sidewalks
with boxes and other distractions this
official is the head of bureau under the
Corporation Counsel, and is appointed by him.
The City Inspector complains that he cannot
keep the streets clean unless these ordinances
are enforced, and the public are continually
crying out for the relief Of Broadway, in conse-
quence of the sidewalks being blocked up, and
the side streets rendered impossible by filth,
garbage and ashes. These facts speak volumes
for the utility Of the Office Of Corporation Coun-
sci. 1t is only rich placer for political
leader.

The Condition OF Mexic0-What the Three
Great Powers Should Do.


The critical position Of affairs ia Mexico is
so apparent to the public mind, that quite
contest in the invention Of news announcing
some definite result is going on among the
smaller newspapers. A day or two ago on OBJ
scure journal Of this city invented Cabinet
Council in Washington, which determined to
occupy and hold the Northern Mexican States,
and the next day, with remarkable fecundity,
it invented another Cabinet consultation to re-
consider and countermand the news of the day
previous. In this course it is merely initiating
the provincial newspapers, one of which, in
Mobile, has just received the wonderful intelli-
gence that Miramon and Marquee have
pocketed half a million Of dollars stolen from
conducta, embarked themselves on a British
steamer some five hundred miles in the interior
OF Mexico, and that the insurgent army had
pronounced in favor of Santa Anna The only
point of truth in this news is the taking Of the
money by General MARQUEE, which was fully
given in our correspondence from the city Of
Mexico, published three days since
The robbery perpetrated by Marquee
proves to what low point the contest
now going on in Mexico has sunk, and that il
has become neither more nor less than a con-
test between public faith and constitutional
rule represented by President Juarez aud the
public robbery practised by Miramon, Mar
quez, Robes, Cobos and the thieves that
cluster round them. That the second ia com
mand OF the army under the nominal President
c:r
have so far violated the confidence reposed in
the government of which he is one of the
principal arms, as to steal the treasure entrusted
in good faith to his protection, on which the
duties laid by law had been duly paid, and for
the safety Of which the merchants had the
pledged faith Of his government would seem
Incredible to any one who for a moment re.
members that all governments must stand or
fall Is they respect or violate their pledge of
honor and the rights Of property. In this act
Marquee himself has struck a deadly blow of

Watching with interest, az we have, the
course Of aTars in Mexico we have not been
surprised at this robbery by self-created 90
vernment, for we have pointed ont the pre-.
cedents which have led to il, step by step, and
set forth long since our conviction that this
result would and must ensue. When Mi

Browns COMMENTARIES on BEEoHGRS SER
MONA Crmors AND INTERESTING DOCUMENT
We present to our readers to-day one Of the
most curious and interesting documents that
have yet been printed In connection with the
Hnrper's Ferry ARRAY. 1t is detailed crti-
cisn paragraph by paragraph. by Old Brown,
on the Ha,per's Ferry sermon Of Henry Ward
Beecter, preached at Plymouth Church on the
3Otb of October A copy Of the Spiritual Isle-
qrdph, which contained verbatim report of
this discourse, was sent by a gentleman of this
city to u friend in Char!estown with request
that he would seek an opportunity Of giving it
to Brown in prison, for the purpose Of eliciting
bis views in regard to it. The plan was entire
ly successful. Old Brown took the paper,
went over the report, paragraph by paragraph,
aud wrote marginal commentaries upon them
The paper, thus annotated, has been furnished
10 Ut, and we publish the commentaries and
the passages commented upon, entirely and
literally. We have no doubt as To Its anthem
ticity, for We baye had other opportunities Of
becoming acquainted with Browns handwrit-
ing
This statement WAS necessary to account for
our possessio, Of this remarkable documents
treasure which. we doubt not, would realize
higher price in New England to-day than would

Mr.. Collier processes to have discovered in such

They are curt. frank, candid, and to the point.
His first criticism on Beecher consists Of but
three words, but they are immensely express

third Is an application of the first, "Does not

er having ascribed the act to craziness from
brooding over bis wrongs and nursing his hate
The excuse or paliiation is thus frankly dis
posed Of, " Is mistaken in The man."
And so commentary upon commentary is
given by Brown to Beecher's sermon The
last portion, however. is peculiarly sarcastic,
and shows that if Brown is mad there is 'sme-
'hod in his madness" Beecher is descanting
on some of the repulsive features of slavery,
and Boosting that if be lived in the South he
should preach these things to slaves. Brown
marks some Of the paragraphs on that point
with these very pertinent observations
"Why don't Beecher come South to preach?'
"Let the champion come here to preach;"
"Good, if spoken here;" "How can he stay
away" "Come on, Beecher."
The closing paragraph Of the sermon is an
encouragement to pray ''that the bond may
become free, that the ignorant may become
wise, that the master and slave may respect
each other, and that Mt length, we may be an
evangelical and Christian people," To this
The old Puritan replies:-"So says old Brown.
Amen"
Thus end Browns commentaries upon
Beecher.

TIE NASSAU STREET JOB REVIVED AGAIN.
The Adermanic Committee on Streets (Boole,
Stephens and Lynes) held meeting yesterday
to hear from persons interested in the proposed
widening of Laurens street, not even mention.
ing Nassau street in their advertisement, the
real business on hand. The SPECTATORS con-
cerned are evidently DESTROYS of conducting
their operations as quietly as possible; but it
appears that the parties (the property holders
on the streeD really interested have token the
alarm. Our Aldermanic Committee may not
be aware Of this and so we would respectfully
call their attention to the remonstrance, which
may be seen at Mr.. Fanshaw's Office, corner
of Nassau and Ann streets, against this lob.
signed by the owners Of more than three
fourths Of the number Of feet fronting on Mas
sau, between Wall and Spruce streets. This
widening job is prosecuted upon the plea of ne
cessity, on account of the pressure of business
and travel on Nassau street; but this plea will
not justify the work of destruction contem-
plated. Business is rapidly extending up
town, and within a year or two, with the re-
moval of the Post Office to a more central
business locality, the existing pressure of We
hicles and foot passengers upon Nassau street
will have ceased The property holders
concerned, we hope, will be vigilant and
active in the protection Of their interests. Let
them watch the present Board of Aldermen
and the Assistant Board; but let them not for
getto weed out, as far possible, all the street
lobbiDg candidates for the new Boards to he
elected in December.
