TROUBLES OF BROAD BRnnAD LUNAMO-Over
In tho populous and fourishing town Of Phila-
delphia they have, among ether peculiar insttu-
lions, crazy editer, who might be fairly
matched with the drunken editor whom our
ootemPoraries keep for their quadrilAteral arti-
oiss. Tho crazy editor Il not dangerous
On tho contrary, he Is very entertaining and
We transfer some OF his latest lucuhratious in
another column. His peculiar phase of lunasy
just now has been excited by the newspsper
express trains. which will shortly be rum upon
oil the principal railways diverging from Now
York. The Quaker City maniac, like some
others Of tho rural press, seems to talne It for
granted that the metropolitan journals have
gotten up this express system for tho purpose
Of smsshing the provincial press. Tho fact Ia
that the system grow out Of necessity. The
increased railway facilities, and the gradual
Capitalization of all the news worth having in
New York, tend naturally to augment
the demand for the metropolitan journals,
and proper measures arc taken to supply
that demand. An matter Of course,
the country papers, which are chiefly made up
from tho New York journals, howl over tho
present state of things. The rural editor
knows very we'll that people will not pay for
q rehash from the HERALD when they can have
the broad sheet fresh from the press. In Phi
ladelphia there is no newspaper worthy tho
name, and the people rely for their information,
even as to what is going on in their own city,
upon the New York papers. In 1856 the Fill
more and Fremont Conventions were reported
fully in the New York papers only. On one
occasion the Fillmore Convention held long
night session, extending, If We remember right
ly. into the Sabbath. 1t was very important
and exciting, but not a word of its pro-
ceedfngs was read by any one in Philadelphia
until the arrival of the New YORK HERALD at
ten O'Clock Sunday night, with verbatim re-
port of the debate, transmitted by telegraph,
and making altogether about four columns OF
small type. This was transferred to the Phi
ladelphia papers of Monday.
If they have not Newspaper in the Quaker
City, however, they have a splendid specimen
of the crazy editor in the Bulletin man. Phila-
delphia is celebrated for her benevolent insti-
tutions. Is there not among them nice, safe,
comfortable, airy lunatic asylum. If there Is,
the crazy editor ought, in the name of humani-
New York journals will attend to the aewspa-
per business, which, as the country evidently
thinks, they understand moderately we'll.
New PHASE OF ABOLITION AND BLACK REpUB-
LrCAN FANATIcIsM.-The abolitionists of Mas
sachusetts are decidedly to be classed amongst
the most rabid Of the fanatics that the history
Of popular delusions records. There are no
lengths to which they will not go to carry out
their insane and mischievous theories. From
the encouragement Of treason and rebellion
they pass naturally to midnight outrages and
incendiarism. Here Is an example of one of
their last exploits In this way, copied from q
Boston Journal
Mr. Davis, the Postmaster At Concord, Mass has been
subjected 70 the loss OF his barn. with hay, machinery
tools and wagons, by the act Of incendary. The Con-
that Mr. Davis suspected Of informing the United
States officers where Sanborn to be found So that in
Of Ss OF disposition e obey the
up . mans property-why not for hanging himf
Between the wholesale corruption brought to
bear on the machinery of legislation by the
black republicans, and the lawless proceedings
of the Massachusetts abolitionists, the country
is coming to q pretty pass. The principle of
con6scation which they seek to apply to
Southern property, and which is literally the
proprikts c'est k uol Of M. Proudhon, is being
carried out here at the North in the spoliation
of our cities of their most valuable franchises
and the plumber of the public by all the con-
trivances known to practiced thieves and land
pirates. Very soon it will aim at stripping
our Northern capitalists of the fruits of their
hard industry; for, according to the new creed,
they have no more legitimate title to their
wealth than the planters of the South. The
first step towards this consummation Is the
system of agrarian terrorism which has
been initiated in Concord. As In Ireland
during the Whiteboy period, it is, it ap-
pears, sufficient for q man to be merely sus-
pected of fidelity to the laws and constitution
of his country to bring his property, or per-
haps his life, under the ban of their midnight
tribunals.
We cannot go on after this fashion, sinking
deeper and deeper into the disorder resulting
from the plottings of INSCRIPTIONS political
schemers and insane Missionaries, without ar
irving at cataclysm which will swallow up all
the precious endowments that have been be-
queathed to us by the fathers of the republic.
We are advancing rapidly towards that result;
and unless measures be taken to arrest orr
