A NEW DIVISION OF THE STATES

Hitherto the American people have been
content with the simple division of the
States into slave and free. Although we
have through our columns more than once
proclaimed the fact that the free Northern
States were fast becoming slave, with this
difference, that the slaves were white and
the slavery voluntary, and hence the more
degrading, little did we suppose that the
same fact would be so soon announced
from the American Senate. Senator Ma
son, of Virginia, an undoubted leader among
American statesmen from the Southern
side, rose in his seat in the Senate the 9TH
er day and deliberately-and we think
not inappropriately-applied to the free
States the appelation, "tEe sergi1e States
"If," said he, "the Southern States are to
be known by the name of slave States,
and we of the South, since we own our la
borers, do not object to it, know of no
reason why the North should object to the
appelation 'SerUale States to their section,
since they have servile white class there,
which | and gentlemen present well know.
Senator Mason significantly and boldly
pointed his finger at this class of white men
in the North-and we regret to say that it
seems to be increasing-who do all the
dirty work and wallow in the lowest filth
at the bidding of these same Southern Sen
ators. We think, however, the taunt is
ungrateful. But no matter; the superior
has no right to be grateful to the inferior,
and Senator Mason and his coadjutors had
nothing to lose by this bold announce
ment. These plant tools will pull on in
the harness of their degradation just the
same
We do not care how low the poor wretch
es bow their necks to their voluntary bur-
dens, nor how sharp such men as Senator
Mason crack the political whip over their
heads. What we object to is that they
shall ever obtain sufficient numerical
strength, or thfs State at least ever become
so morally enfeebled, as 10 be dragged
down to complete servility to the oppres-
sive and insolent South That is all
Meanwhile, let Senator Mason end his CO.
adjutors go on with their work of mapping
out the servile States, and let the work be
fairly done, that the world may know them
and become more thoroughly acquainted
with the political geography of our Republic.

THE FAIR IN HARTFORD.

The "Daily Courant" of the 9th inst.
says: The fair in aid of the Pearl street
Methodist Church closed last evening,
1t had been managed in an unexceptiona-
BILE manner, the hall trimmed with ever
green, and the tables covered with fancy
articles of service or fancy. Last evening,
an exhibition of dialogues, recitations, and
song, was interspersed among the CONNER
cial business of the fair During the short
visit we were enabled to make, Mr.. j. G.
Cooper recited soliloquy from Hamlet.
Psalm of Life, by Chas. Cross; The Fright

was given in good style by Misses Eliza

of the Indian Girl, by Adelaide Ross. The

DECLINE OF THE REPUBLIC.

We are not disposed to make merry
over either the trials and troubles, or the
weaknesses or even the ultimate fate of
cur slave-holding, man-oppressing, and al
most already Godforsaken Republic. We
would, were it in our power, rather help
her out of her difficulties, though knowing
full well that all of them center in and
grow out of her deep, continued injury and
wrong to us. Not a difficulty existing in
the bosom of this nation to-day, but has its
direct root in the injustice to the black
man; and not single one of these Difficult
ties can ever be thoroughly overcome by
any process that man can devise, until full
justice is done to the injured black man
the same justice and equity that is dealt out
to every other man in the Republic, be he
who he may.
This equity and this justice is the basis
of the Republic, to depart from which is
to wholly undermine it, and let it down to
worse than chaos Let the nation remem-
Der this. Let it look well to it. If there
be government now existing on earth
that is proving to the world its incapacity
for selfgovernment or for anything else
but great iniquity and failure, it is this,
our vain boasted Republic Turn whatso-
ever way you will, and you find but the
signs of failure and the seeds of disorgani-
zation and dissolution. In the councils OF
the State or the nation; in the judicial halls
or the sacred sanctuary; i'll the counting
room or at the workbench, the signs of dis
organization and dissolution, and final fail
ure, stare you in the face. On the factors
loom and in the merchants ledger is being
more and more palpably written the SEN
tence, The Republics failure And all
this has come to pass because of the iniquity
Of slavery and the increasing barbarity Of
the American people, consequent from
slavery.
Let the nation dispose itself to wade
deeper and deeper into this sink Of oppres
sion and wrong; let it bind tighter and
tighter its chains of wrong upon the black
man; let it rule him out OF all his rights
and title to citizenship, to manhood; let il
drag him down to condition below that
of the brute if it dare or can, and when il
it shall have succeeded, our word for it
the nation itself must 90 down with him
There is no power in heaven or among
men that can save it. That day, wher
the black man, tortured and ground down
is thus sunken, no matter when, then i:
the requiem of this Republic sung. Pusf
on gentlemen, oppressOrs, disorganizers
demagogues and cheats; as you do so, re
member that every step you force the
black man down, you and all that is deal
to you, must go down with him. You can
not destroy him and preserve yourselves
Impossible

The last instance of the "irrepressible
conflict" which we shall relate occurred in
marble palace in Broadway-no less a
place than S--t's immense dry-goods
establishment. The Herald" announced
the other day that the principal of that es-
tablishment had recently been obliged to
diccharge fifty clerks in consequence of the
great falling off in his Southern trade. The
Tribune" suggested that these clerks were
probably in the city retail department,
which had fallen off in consequence of the
active part which MIR. St had taken
in the recent Union meetil 3. The "Post"
announced that so far from the Southern
trade falling off in that house it had been
obliged to add some forty clerks doubtless
all sound on the goose) to the Southern
department, in consequence Of increased
orders from that section. Here is just such
dust and contradiction as would spring
up from an 'irrepressible conflict" We,
being, anxious to get at the exact truth on
the subject, sent our reporter, who brought
back the following statement, which may
be relied on:
Mr.. St, the principal of the house,
is, like Charles O'Conor, John Mitchell,
and Thomas f. Meagher, a Celt-and read
headed at that. Their real affinity with
the shareholders lies not in their greed for
gold, but in the servile blood which courses
through their veins Unlike the nobler
men of their race, the Burkes, OConnells,
and Currans, they cannot rise to the atmos-
phere of universal emancipation. So Mr..
S-t's establishment has been for
years plantationon Broadway. He car
ries his drivers whip on the end of his
tongue, singing with his coarse vitupera-
ton as deeply into the souls, as the negro
driver would into the bodies of his SER
wants. In the upholsterlng department
was worthy, upright, and excellent clerk
who had hold his situation some six years
He had borne Mr.. st as he might un-
til a week or two ago, when, probably, he
had been reading the Gospel according to
John Brown; and when, in one of his
driver moods, Mr.. St lighted OF
him with language SO abusive and insult
ing that the clerk, in a moment of frenzy
clenched bis fist, drew it suddenly away
from the side of Mr.. S---t's head, and
the merchant millionaire lay sprawling OIL
his own marble floor. The forty odd clerks
of the department who witnessed this scene
did not seize hold of their audacious broth
er and lynch him. Far from it-somt
even went the length of an "irrepressible
sn;cker" Next payday they were all dis
missed Their treason" was promptly
punished.
Fearing that Mr.. S--t's modesty
will prevent him from publishing this glo
rious Union meeting in the South, we hope
it will "go the rounds" that his distinguish
ed merits may be duly appreciated and re
warded Who knows but that he may yet
have the honor of monument at Harpers
Ferry, with an inscription written by Gov
Wise. Virginia, the dear old nanny, the
nursing mother, who recently welcomed tc
her withered paps the darling babies who
screamed SO at their "teething" in Pbiladel
phia, can surely afford to adopt Mr.. A. L
st as worthy son.

fifteen miles from Newtown, Nd, and who

charge. 1t is said he forged Gov. Wise's

The INsURRECTIoN IN BOLIVAR, Mo-
The Bolivar ''Pilot" of the 31st ult. con-
tains a short paragraph giving the particu-
lars of the brickbat insurrectiOn at that
place, which was announced with so much
flourish by the telegraph from Warsaw.
The affair was extremely trivial, hardly
amounting to a respectable Christmas frol-
ic. The negroes, being rather too much
inspired by their Christmas potations, be-
came little obstroperous, and came IN
conflict with party of whites. The col
hsion resulted in an exchange of several
shots. No one was harmed, and the affair
was easily settled.

FRED. DOUGLASS AND THE HARPER's FER
RY INsURRECrIoN.-T Rev Il. L. Car
penter, of Halifax, at which town Freder-
ck Douglass is at present staying, states
that the latter was concerned in the recent
insurrection in the following way only:
He is charged by Capt. Cook with hay-
ing abetted the Harper's Ferry insurrec-
ton, and then deserting it. AS he has in
formed the American public by letter,
which has appeared in many of their pa
pers, Capt. Cook is wholly unknown to
him, and his accusation is untrue. Unless
Capt. Cook was person who once called
on him with Capt. Brown, he does not even
know who he is.
With Capt. Brown Mr. Douglass has
long been very intimate, and he entirely
approved of his plan of helping the slaves
to escape to the mountains, and secure
their freedom. He was cognizant with the
Harpers Ferry plan, but did his utmost to
dissuade him from it. In his anxiety to
avert what he deemed an impracticable
scheme, he went, about month before the
event, to visit Capt. Brown at Chambers
burg, about twenty-eight miles from Har-
per's Ferry. His arguments were, how
ever, unavailing; and his visits would no
doubt be taken as an evidence that he was
a party to the plan. He is in no way,
therefore, mixed up with the insurrection,
except in so far that he did not betray his
knowledge of it, and he is not in any way
chargeable of deserting Capt. Brown, since
Capt. Brown well knew that he was OPP
posed to it.

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. o, 1856

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9, 1860.
MR.. EDIToR:-Mr. Redman Faucet was
to have lectured before the Banneker In
stitute on Tuesday evening last, but was
prevented from doing so by the freezing of
the water in the gas-meter of the hall The
gas would not burn, and the persons who
assembled to hear the lecture went avav
disappointed.
On the same evening, Rev. j. B. Smith,
N. d., of New Bedford, Mass, lectured to
packed audience in the basement Of Bethel
Church, on african Civilization" touch
ing upon several kindred subjects, for the
lecturer attempted to discuss the whole
question of slavery before he reached the
main topic. The regular exercises were
commenced by singing the hymn, "From
Greenland's icy mountains" which was
followed by a lengthy prayer by the lee
turer, in which much ardor was manifest
ed. He prayed for ''those who differ from
us in opinion, that they may be changed,
and that our little chickering's may cease"
Sc. The lecture was deliveredi in pleas
ing style, though not very graceful man.

same as those used by colonizatonists, on
ly they were rather sparsely distributed
meted out in small portions to suit the Oc-
casion. will not give the points in the
argument, for none of them were new to
me- I will say, however, that the lectur-
er laid much stress upon the growing OF
cotton in Africa, and exhibited a specimen
of the raw material, which he said was
raised there, and also piece of cotton fab
ric, manufactured Che said) in Massachu-
sets, from the same cotton. He also stat
ed that "we (the A. G. S. have met their
objections" is, the outsiders /
have not yet heard an argument strong
enough to convince me that the raising OF
cotton in Africa will ever materially effect
slavery in the United States. Be it re-
membered, however, that no considerable
argument was attempted on this occasion
to prove that point. When the lecturer
had concluded, he gave notice that he was
prepared to receive any questions that
might be put to him. Mr.. George w.
GoineS requested him to read letter which
he Mr.. G. had received from Robt. Camp
bell, now in Africa. Mr.. Smith read the
letter amid much merriment, for it did not
run parallel with the lecture. The letter
was dated at Abeokuta, Nov. 3, 1859, and
reads as follows:
