| hglduone In the southern States which VIII
operate disastrously to all the financial, com
mercial and manufacturing interests of the
North, and through all their ramif atoms, even
without any overt act of secession. The whole
South, with Lincolns election, will be thrown
into state Of confusion, excitement aud aliena-
ton, which cannot otherwise result than in a
widespread financial depression and Revision
throughout the principal cities and States of
the North.
The radical abolition policy in the admins
tration Of the federal government contemplated
by the republican party is too revolutionary in
its aims and tendencies to justify the opinion
that no sectional troubles and no financial dis
orders will follow the election of Lincoln.
There is no safety before us, except through his
defeat There is no hope of his defeat, except
through the decisive vote of New York. And
upon New York. more interested in and more
dependent upon the Union and the peace Of
the Union than any other State, it is proper
fearful contest should be thrown.
The paltry housing spoils politicians of the
democracy Of Massachusetts, and the adjoining
States have turned over all New England into
the hands of the enemy; the contemplate per
sonal feuds and factious quarrels among the
Douglas managers and Breckenridge managers
at Washington and in Philadelphia, and out
West, have operated to give the republicans a
clean sweep from the Delaware river to the
Mississippi. The same difficulties to fusion
have been operating here, through the
miserable intrigues of such old factious politi
cal hacks as Dean Richmond, John A. Green
and others of the same pattern. But these
Marplots have been overruled by our Union
volunteers, with their Union ticket. The basis
of union is thus arranged-the city is sound
but from its ample munitions Of war the State
demands assistance.
The republicans have pretty well exhausted
/ their resources upon Pennsylvania and Indiana
They take New York for granted, counting
confidently upon the failure of our fusion
movement. But they can be disappointed
in this estimate. There is heavy
majority in this State against them but the Sc
veral factions concerned in the interior want
good advice, general system of organization
upon the idea of Lncolns defeat, leaving
Douglas Breckenridge, Bell, squatter sovereign
ty, Intervention, and everything else except
Lincoln's defeat out of sight. To bring all the
Union elements Of the State to a solid coalition
upon this one idea, another Union meeting, we
repeat it, is needed in this cty-a meeting for
the mastering of capable men, and for the col
lection of the sinews of war for an earnest 6s1A
in the rural districts; and the sooner we have
this meeting the better.
Within the interval Of grace of three weeks
to the election the State Of New York may be
saved. and Lincoln may thus be defeated (; but
not day should be lost in the call for this sug.
gested metropolitan Union meeting, as from
committee OF public safety.
The PRINCE OF WALES SUITE IN THE HERALD
| OrrIcE.-On Saturday afternoon, while the
| Prince was making the round Of the sights on
Broadway, portion Of his suite paid q visit to
| the HERALD office. They were taken over the
| establishment, and inquired infinitely into the
details OF its daily operations The machinery
of the press room especially excited their Gu
riosity. Hoes ten cylinder presses eliciting from
them warm expressions of admiration. When
shown the heaps of blank paper which stood
piled up ready for the presswork Of the night,
they were astonished to learn that they would
be all worked of in single mornings iseue.
This led to an inquiry as to the amount of our
circulation, and when informed that 1t had ave-
ragged daily for the past week from ninety to
ninety three thousand, they at once compre-
hended the influence which journal appealing
TO such vast number OF readers must exercise
over the mind of the country.
From this il may be anticipated that, as re-
! CARDS the journalism US we'll as the other nsti-
tutions OF the United States, the royal party
will take back with them to England very dit
iereut impressions from those with which they
/ lett it, They came here expecting TO find US
behindhand In all the elements of civilization
and refinement They have learned to their
great surprise that, whilst but In few instances
Is that opinion well founded, in most things we
are far in advance OF the boasted intelligence
mechanical skill and refined tastes of the Euro
pean nations. In nothing has that fact been
more clearly demonstrated to them than in the
immense circulation aud influence of our Jour
nails. In the astonishing fidelity and rapidity
with which the Princes movements have been
reported for our columns since he FIRST set foot
on our shores they have an example of news
paper energy and enterprise which the London
journals have never been able to initiate. The
tact IL that the English press as little under
stands the uses OF the telegraph as 1t compre-
hends the true character of les own mission "a
an agent Of progress.
