Southern scarecrow, and has tecome term
full of Southern advantages
And how stand we at the North in view of
this programme of disunion? The solid North,
excepting the imperial and conservative city
Of New York. stands arrayed against the South
and threatening Der subjagstion. Everywhere
We find the democratic party called upon to
ratiiy degrading submission to the black re-
publican balance of power, In recognition of
the abolition heretics of the Buffalo platform.
This may be regarded as but straw upon the
great stream of our national affairs; hut it is
straw which marks the drift of the tide. In
revolutionary times straw or q feather may
turn the scale; and, in view Of the critical
movements we have detailed, we arc now on
the very verge Of terrible revolution.

METROPOLITAN ART ExHiBrTIoNs.-N is only
a little while ago that 1t was with the greatest
difficulty sufficient number Of persons capable
Of approaching and supporting q fine collection
Of paintings could be found in this city. With
the exception of the yearly exhibitions Of the
Academy Of Design and the Dusseldorf Gallery,
the metropolis had no art exhibitions. Lat
terly, however, we have been doing better, and
the steady increase of good works in public
and private galleries, together with the marked
attention paid by the public to them, promises
q fine future for our good artists. Palmer's sta
tuary has had the most remarkable triumph.
When the Palmer marbles were first exhibited
at the Dusseldorf Gallery they attracted but
little public attention. Being much admired
and talked about by connoisseurs, they were
visited by large numbers of people, though not
by such audiences as they deserved. Statuary
is more ideal than painting, and people must
be educated to its appreciation. Palmer's
greatest work--"The White Captive"-has
now been exhibited about a fortnight in which
time it has been visited by some three thou
sand people. The number of daily visitors to
this superb work Of art has steadily increased
day by day, from one hundred up to four hun
dred, and the prospect is that this latter figure
will be doubled before the exhibition is closed.
The same success attended the exhibition of
Pages Venus and Churchs Andes, and similar
interest is manifested in the Central Park, the
growing beauties of which are now enjoyed
every fine day by many hundreds Of people,
who promenade in the Ramble or drive over
the splendid roads. At the Opera we have a
new prima donna, Of home culture, Patti, who
has made reputation in week, and has sung
to audiences which increase in numbers and
enthusiasm with every succeeding performance.
Looking at all these things, tits idle to say that
the American people are too practical to ap-
preciate and encourage art in its highest FORMS

from the Comptroller, which will then be ready.
The annual meeting Of the American Geographi-
cal and statistical Society was held last night a,
the rooms of the historical Society, in Second
avenue. The audience was small, might have
been expected, on account of the political meeting
held close by, at the Cooper Institute. From the
minutes and ports presented by various officers,
il appears that the society is in prosperous
condition. The Treasurers report showed that
over 5000 have been raised during the past
year, and over 81 500 expended leaving over 5000
balance in the treasury. very interesting paper
was read by Mr.. Kennedy, of Washington, on the
value Of statistics, and especially on the progress
which the United States have made since the last
census. Officers for the coming year were chosen,
and the society adjourned.

efIecton trade in the metropolis should the
plan Of their candidates and their pnrn>ans go
adopted We will answer for them. Their
goods would find no buyers, their ships would
rot in the docks, grass would grow in the busi-
ness streets Of New York, and the now proud
Empire City would sink below the level OF
provincial town. The conduct of the merchants
who support either of the abolition candidates,
and lend their names to the calls for their
meetings, is sheer folly, utter insanity. and is
equivalent to an attempt at suicide. II they
do not succeed II will not be because they have
not tried.

The Exec ut,on OF Brown TO. day.

Old John Brown, the leader of the Harpers
Ferry insurreciion, dies upon the gallows to-
day, the victim of mad fanaticism which
would plunge the country into bloodshed for
its own qualification, and which is unhsppily
too largely shared by many who, like John
Brown, esteem all measures right and holy
whereby their own peculiar ideas can be made
dominant The event which takes place in
Charlestown to-day is the gravest which has
ever occurred since the organization Of this
government, being, as II is, the sacrifice Of
victim to the practical Inauguration of that
widespread abolition sentiment which per.
vades large extent Of the country.
1t is important in all Its bearings upon the pre-.
sent and the future; for it is not improbable
that the South, in view of the late treason
against its peace, may demand at the coming
session of Congress the enactment of laws qua
ranteeiDg security to their property and pro-
lection against sedition on the part of the
Northern abolitionists. The anti-slavery senti.
ment has prevailed now for over twenty FIVE
years as q moral movement; but it is only
since 1874 that it has assumed political
phase. Since then both parties contending for
supremacy have succumbed to fanaticsm, aud
abolitionism in an organized form at this day
pervades nearly the whole North, even to
this great once national and conservative
metropolis. 1t is idle, then, to disguise
the fact that the time is most critical
to the safety of the Union. The South,
finding this anti-slavery sentiment thus strongly
arrayed against it, and alarmed at its practical
Development at Harper's Ferry, will very pro-
baby, from the way things look there now, APP
peal to Congress for protection; and if it fails
to procure such laws as will guarantee its in
terests stability and security, all the Southern
delegations of both houses may withdraw from
Washington, and hold their session somewhere
further South
We are in the midst Of crisis which NAV
not be inaptly compared to that of the Roman
republic in the time of the wars of the patri-
clans and plebeians, when the people with
drew to the Aventine Mount to take measures
for the protection of their rights, and the whole
republic stood on the verge of ruin and

SETTLEMENT OF ITALY-THE APPROACHING
CoNaREss.-The invitations to the Congress
have at last been formally issued by France,
and it now remains to be seen whether England
will adhere to her expressed determination not
to enter IL unless . u1sJinvt uuucrssa..,aiuk
that the independence of Central Italy is to be
guaranteed. 1t seems to US that Louis Ma
poleon cares but little for her presence. His
course in regard to Italy is settled in his own
mind; and notwithstanding the suspicious en-
tertained of his reserve, we have an idea that
it will in the end prove satisfactory to the
great body of the Italian people. 1t is obvious
that the French Emperor cannot, consistently
with his obligations to Austria, recede from his
engagements with her up to the point at which
the Congress may relieve him from them. To
say OF do anything openly to encourage the
hopes Of the people of Central Italy, 30 far as
their annexation to Sardinia is concerned, is
too much to expect from him. We believe that
he seeks to throw upon the Congress the entire
responsibility of the changes that are desirable
and that he will be but too well pleased thus
to get rid of the difficulties and embarrassments
Of the Italian question.
That he is mystifying the English govern
ment as to the course that he intends to pursue
at the Congress, there are good grounds for be-
lieving. 1t has been his policy ever since the
abrupt termination Of the Crimean war to keep
the English people in uncertainty as to his next
move, and even to induce the apprehension Of
invasion. By thus stimulating their fears and
keeping up continual suspicion and irritation
Of feeling on the part of the two nations, he has
gained his object of diverting the attention of
his own people from their political grievances,
and in this way consolidating his own power.
1t is only another phase of the old Napoleonic
policy Of provoking external to prevent inter-
nal conflicts. There is this difference, however,
that the second Napoleon has no real intention
Of committing so suicidal an act as engaging in
hostilities with England. 1t suits his purpose
better to keep her on the tenterhooks Of sus-
pense, = put her to enormous cost in terrifying
her hoes against an imaginary danger, and
make her play second fiddle on all great Eu-
ropean questions. With this view he has, no
doubt, left her entirely in the dark as to his
resolves in regard to Italy, hoping that she will
be thereby deferred from entering the Con-
gress, and thus remain isolated when she ought
to lead. Such course would be consistent
with the subtle and mastery policy of this ex-
traordinary man, who seems to be far prouder
Of his diplomatic successes than of all the tri-
umphs that he has gained on the battle field.

PoLTTIcAL AND COMMERCIAL SurcrDE.-One Of
the most remarkable evidences Of utter insanity
that we have ever seen or heard of on the part of
men supposed to possess ordinary intelligence
is found in the conduct of certain merchants in
this city. w find their names attached to the
calls Of meetings in favor of two candidates
for the Mayoralty both of whom are known to
be sympathizers with movement, the intention
of which is clearly and Enthusiastically the aboli-
ton Of slavery or the dissolution of the Union.
suchis the platform of the party with which these
candidates are more or less attached. And yet
we md them endorsed by large number of
the merchants Of New York-men who know
po'h'ng beyond the prices of corn, or cotton,
OF tooacco, or pork, or beef, or dry goods
men whose sole interest is In trade. They
should ask themselves, then, what will be the
