Havcmeyer On tho Uto~l q Repentance
What f. the Prioe or sugars
Like some Of the republican members of
Congress who endorsed Helpers book. Mr.
Havemeyer hastens, after his defeat in the re-
cent election, to define his position. It seems
to have had most salutary effect In bringing
him to his knees, and drawing from his eyes
the tears of penitence and godly sorrow for his
political transgressions. Believing that can
open confession is good for the soul" he makes
clean breast by writing a card for publica-
ton In the newspapers, which will be found in
another column.
Mr. Havemcyer is very penitent now, and
weeps over the sectional agitation, the
fanaticism and folly which prevail and en-
danger the very existence Of our government
He ought to be in deep anguish, for he was tho
first to debauch the democracy of this State. II
has been q political prostitute on the town
ever since, and he has been its pander. He
denies something about Texas, in 1874, which
we never charged him with; but he does not
deny that he stood on the Buffalo Platform in
ls4S; that his lawyer and late colleague in the
election, Mr.. Tilden, helped to draw up that
instrument, the grand source of sectional agi-
tation, fanaticism and folly" in this State, from
that day to this. He says he was a member of
the Convention which adopted it, and he does
not deny that his name was the sixth clector on
the Presidential ticket put forth by said Anti
Slavery Convention. 1t is well, therefore, that
he should weep over the ruin he and his apos-
tate associates have made. "a decent respect
for the opinions Of mankind" demands it, even
if his tears are such as crocodles shed. 1t is
election; for his card is rather hard on the re-
publicans who voted for him, and whose sup
port he claimed and obtained because he was
known to be free soiler, who stood on tho
Buffalo Platform in lS4S
Whence springs Mr.. Havemeyers sudden
and Tammany free soil candidate is large
dealer in Southern sugar What influence that
fact has had in fastening his repentance we
leave our readers to infer. He allowed himself
to be forced into false position in order to
save the sinking old hulk of Tammany Hall,

saving the rotten ship Tammany, all went to
the bottom together He now energies from
the waves and like a half drowned rat, SILVER
ing and dripping, he crawls on the terra yfyma
of the Union. There are many anti-slavery
merchants like him who are rapidly retracing
their steps. They are beginning to sec that
this kind Of politics will not pay, and they
want to get rid of the connection ss soon as
possible. They are now frightened We hope
their repentance and reformation will be last
ing, and that it will not be with them and with
Havemeyer as it is with scared sinners who be-
lieve they are going to die.

THE New YORK HERALD IN THE SoUTH-Our
dainty philosophers Of the Tribune call the at
tention Of Postmaster General Holt and his
Southern postmasters to the incendiary matter
from time to time published in the New York
HERALD, and specify, with considerable JUNCTION,
oa1 vcruaum report VI the proceedings OF the
late John Brown abolition orgies at the Cooper
Institute. We fear that the good Offices thus
volunteered to the South by the Tribune are
like those of the fox who had lost his tail in a
trap. He advised all the foxes to have their
tails taken of-they would find it so very con-
venient to be without them.
But, seriously, so far as regards the support
which this journal receives from the Southern
States, we care nothing about it. It amounts
to less than that which we receive from almost
any street in New York of over half mile in
length. Take away, tomorrow, all our South
ern subscriptions and advertisements, and
there would hardly be an appreciate dimi-
mutton of our cash receipts. We are perfectly
bulk and body of our cash resources are drawn
from this imperial city of New York. And
yet, for quarter Of a century, or more,
in season and out Of season. through good and
evil report, the New York HERALD has been
the consistent and earnest advocate of the con-
stitutional rights of the South and the consti-
tutional obligations Of the North And what
have we received from the South in return?
In former days the respect and thankful recog-
milton Of such Southern statesmen as Clay, Cal
houA, Rives, and others of that great school;
but, in latter times, from Southern politicians,
ranting orators, Governors and foulmouthed
party organs the NEW YORK HERALD and its
editor have received more scurrilous, scanda-
lous, filthy and libellous abuse than from all
other quarters combined. We have thus OBJ
tanned pretty clear conviction Of the Southern
chivalry of Southern politicians, from the
stumping candidate for Governor down to the
Southern party newspaper scavenger at Wash
ington.
But for all this, we are bound by the consti-
tuition of the United States. We recognise its
authority as the supreme law Of the land; and
thus it has been and is our duty and our plea
sure to maintain the constitutional rights Of the
South, regardless of Southern patronage or
Southern abuse
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-12-18

they are the only courses left-would inevita-
bly, lead to civil war. The latter course--the
course Of coercion-is undoubtedly that which
would prevail. Now, this is In fact civil war
itself, and would turn out TO be not only war
between North and South, but war between the
people of the North themselves, for those who
would not agree to the bloody crusade against
the Southern States would be compelled to
defend their sentiments with their swords
Such is the irresistible logic Of facts and events
How, then, are these dire calamities to be
prevented Assuredly not by mere Union
meetings. Nothing will do but great practi-
cal movement, which will break down the
rotten democratic party and the revolutionary
republican party together and establish on
their ruins reign of law and order and loyalty
to the constitution.
If the meeting tomorrow evening can rise to
the height of this great argument, and appre-
ciate the momentous crisis, then there is hope
for the safety of the country. But II it cannot
rise above the trammels and tricks Of the poll
teal swindlers of Tammany Hall andthe Albany
Regency, and if it cannot see the danger and
the mode of removing it, and If it separate
without doing anything more than making
speeches and passing resolutions, then, indeed,
is the worst to be feared, and we should not be
surprised to see the Union severed in the
course of few months. The South will not
wait for the onslaught from the North. As soon
as it arrives at the foregone conclusion that its
domestic institutions and constitutional rights
are no longer safe, it will take the initiative
before the North has time to muster its legions,
and it will secede as unit, and put itself in .
state of defence, which, indeed, it is already
beginning to do. And what is more, it will
probably enter into an alliance, offensive and
defensive, with one or more of the great Powers
of Europe, which, Notwithstanding their pre-
tended hostility to slavery, would be glad
to acknowledge the independence of the
South for the national, political and CONNER
cial advantages which they would reap from
it. Thus the South, though in a minority in
point of numbers, might set the North at de-
fance; and to this complexion it will soon come
unless the friends of the Union at the North
take practical measures at once to apply the
only remedy that can meet the case. The peril
is imminent, and there is not moment to be
lost. The eye of the South is upon us, and it
waits to see whether, on tomorrow, the mer-
chants of New York will do their duty.
