Conhict-Ths Duty or New York.
We have three weeks more to the Presiden
tal election, and the result of that contest must
depend upon whether the conservative men Of
New York will exert themselves and carry this
State against the abolitionized black republican
party, and avert the dangers which its triumph
involves.
The result of the recent elections in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana has awakened an in
tense feeling North and South and we give to-
day, in another column series of extracts
showing the hopes and fears Of the extremists
in each section. In the South submission to
the rule Of Lincoln and black republican ad-
ministration is already looked upon with terror
No one can deny that under such auspices,
even under the most hopeful results, a
period of agitation against the institution Of
slavery in the Southern States must commence,
and OF a character open and defiant, such as
try. The Charleston Mercury, in an article
given elsewhere to-day, portrays the immediate
effect of such a movement upon the interests of
the South, in a singularly mild and logical arti-
Gle for its columns. 1t assumes that the result
of submission in the South will be the creation
Of an abolition party there, that the value OF
slave property will be at once affected to the
extent of hundreds of millions of dollars, that
their migration to the cotton States will at once
commence, that the border slave States will at
once commence an agitation within themselves
to become free States, and that eventually the
whole institution will be destroyed by the rapid
progress of distrust in the public mind. As
the value Of all property in the South depends
on the permanence of its slave population, it
deduces that lands, public improvements, banks,
stocks Of all kinds, and every representative Of
wealth, will crumble into nothingness.
On the other hand, it will be seen, by letter
which We copy from the Boston Liberator-Gar-
rison's paper-that the radical abolitionists are
willing to accept Lincoln and the progress he
will bring towards their revolutionary aims.

ton and the use of the army and navy. And, in
deed, If we look facts in the face, we cannot
feel certain that Garrison and Phillips would
encounter any greater danger In Richmond after
Lincoln's Inauguration than they did in pro
claiming their theories twenty years ago ia
many Northern cities. 1t is plain, from the let
ter of Mr.. Somes to Gerrit Smith, which we
give today from the Boston Liberotor, that the
radical abolitionists are determined /" to beard
the lion in his den" as they call it, and to es.
tablish abolition papers and lecturers in the
very midst Of the slave States, and they will
call upon the federal power to protect them
there
The natural result of these movements will
be to consolidate the South upon one of the
Presidential candidates acceptable to them.
Whether this will be Breckenridge or Douglas
there are as yet no signs by which to determine;
but one or the other must become the represen.
tative candidate OF the consolidated Southern
States. That there is danger In division they
are already beginning to perceive, and safety
can be obtained only by their presenting an
undivided and cold front. Had they done SO
from the moment the break up Of the old de-
mocratic party occurred, the result Of the re-
cent elections in the central States might have
been very different. Itwas their own divisions,
their want OF unity Of purpose, their wavering
between breckenridge and Bell their slowness
to comprehend the true import of the move
ments Of Mr.. Douglas and the folly and imbe-
cility Of many of their leaders. that disgusted
their Northern allies and led to division aud
defeat in the North.
1t is not yet too late to redeem the fght; but
in order TO do So there must be decision Of
action in the South, and energy among the con-
strvadve men Of the North. The extracts we
give today from the Southern papers show the
dangerous abyss TO which we are tending, and
should awaken In every bosom desire to avert
the pending calamity. New York can do 80 II
che will, and Il Is only necessary that the great
mass Of the conservative majority In this State
unite on the one electoral ticket opposed to
Lincoln TO save the country II Lincoln is not
defeated there will be an agitation North and
South that will affect the value Of every species
Of property, curtail the emolumens OF COM
merce and the reward Of labor. and produce
financial revulsion from which the present
generation will not recuperste.
