EFFECTS or THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION on
THE TRADE or Nav YoRk-We beg to refer our
readers to the detailed statement, which we
publish 70 day, Of the falling of In various
branches Of m anufacture and trade in this city
since the election OF Lincoln. 50 much has
been said upon this subject, and so many have
been, or have affected to be, skeptisal about
1t, that we despatched o reporter to visit the
different factories and firms and obtain the
facts. The result Of his Investigation will be
found in another column. 1t Will be seen that
since the G,h Of November there has been an
alarming falling of in the sale and mauui icture
of articles dependent TO any great extent
upon Southern trace. and that not less than az
teen thousand operatives have already been dis
charged, and ore out OF employment at tut
critical time, just when winter Is setting In with
all Its severity.
Not only have orders ceased TO come from the
South, but many orders on the books Of our
manufacturers, varying 10 amount from $1,000
to s25, 900, have been recently countermanded.
The branches Of trade which have suffered
most are the carriage and harness businesses
clothing, boots and shoes, hats aud cape, gro
ceries, and wines and brandies. In all these
the sales have declined TO such an extent a. to
render 1t necessary TO discharge the workmen
In various proportions, some houses throwing
out tbree-feurtbs of their hands and some dis
missing the whole. Any comment upon such
state Of affairs lie wholly unnecessary; the
facts speak stronger than words. II is precisely
the result Of the election which we predicted,
and warned our merchants, manufacturers and
operatives Of msnths ago, when u might havs
been averted BIZ casting their votes another
way. But it "a too late to remedy i wholly

the Pixies Peak region Utah and New Mexico,

combines q description Of that vast country.
the routes and modes Of travel thereto, the
productions Of the different regions, the nature
of the traffic, as well as the amount of travel
and the value Of the import and export trade

contemplating the vastnees OF the resources,
mineral and agricultural, which this new dis
trict of the continent commands even at this
early period Of its develope ment, while the in.

one is led to reflect upon the m sgnifcent pros

employed hold forth.
Ii would be impossible and unnecessary, in

in our columns, to elaborate here the various
sources Of wealth which future interchange Of

fertile region, the greater portion OF which a
little more than year ago was terra ineog-
rita; but In the face Of the political turn affairs
have taken, and the troublous position 10 which
the country stands at the present m oment, 1t
becomes a subject Of serious thought to surmise
what the future Of this immense tract may be.
IL we should be unfortunate enough 10 see the
Union broken up, the probability Is that 1t will
be ultimately divided into three separate re.
publics-the Northern, the Southern and the
Western for the interests Of the far Western

The CAPrrM. on THE ITALIAN KINGDOM -
The second act Of the Italian drama Is closed.
The first ended with the peace of Villafrancs
and the annexation of Lombardy to Sardinia.
The second ends with the fall of Capua, the
annexation Of Naples and the retirement OF the
brave Garibaldi to his island home of Caprera.
All that Is now wanted to make Italy unit Is
the conquest OF Venetia from Austria and the
formal termination OF the Pope's temporal
sovereignty In Rome and the Marches. In the
meantime where Is to be the political capital of
the kingdom Of Italy! Victor Emanuel an

INCREASED DEMAND FOR FIREARMs.-While
most branches of trade are declining under
the depressing condition Of political affairs,
it is curious and significant to observe that
the sale and manufacture of all kinds Of
weapons and munitions of war have increased
immensely in every part Of the country for the
past few months. Since the Presidential cam
paign commenced there has been an advance
of two hundred per cent Ia the number OF
arms manufactured and sold-the largest In
crease being observable since the election.
The demand for arms In Europe-which may
be said to be on war footing from north to
south--has drained the stock Of these articles,
and completely tested the activity of the mann
facturers to keep up with 1t. The arming Of
volunteers in England produced like result In
that country. Then the condition of Italy,
where the people are now free to carry arms,
has produced a large demand. The troubled
petition of our own country, too, has kept our
manufacturers go busy that they are not at tho
present time able to Gil the orders on hand
from the Southern State governm snts, and the
different associations and Individuals from
whom they come pouring in every day. These
orders vary from single gun or pistol up 10
scores and hundreds, and come in 80 fast that
they can with difficulty be met Many of the
disafected Southern States, 1t is known, sent
agents to Europe to purchase arms; but they
found IL impossible to procure them there, and
had to fall back upon our own manufactures.
Gov Brown, Of Georgia, In q recent message,
declared that the contracts for arms with the
North had not been fuldlled, and urged the i'm
mediate establishment Of factories for the
manufacture Of firearms at home
All these facts show that the whole world at
the present time is engaged in furnishing itself
with weapons Of destruction, to be used be-
tween man and man 10 direful confict--sl-
though with the exception Of Italy alone there
Is profound peace every where-a sleep, 1t may
be, that fore bodies a terrible awakening.

suspend the cotton culture; when not only will
we find the North, but Eoeland and France,
too deeply interested In their supplies of the
raw material Of cotton to permit, if they can
prevent It, any suspension of its cultivation.
Standing, then, as we are, upon the verge Of
disunion, with the South, on the one hand,
driven forward to secession by the great and
still increasing abolition power aud spirit of
the North, and invited, on the other hand, to
Southern homogeneous confederscy as the only
refuge against foreshadowed servile insurrec-
tions and general slaughter, insigated by abo
liuon emissaries under federal protection, Is
not the Union in danger and what will Con-
eress do to save the Union The crisis WILL
perhaps, demand a Reconstruction Of the very
ground work of the federal constitution, and
some satisfactory initiative steps on the part OF
Congress in this direction. In this way the
initiative act of secession on the part of the
State Convention Of South Carolina may be
arrested, for that Convention will not meet
until two weeks after the meeting Of Congress.
Otherwise, we fear that South Carolina will
give the signal which will rally ell the Southern
States to that grand idea Of an independent
confederacy, comprehendiDg the early annexa-
ton of Mexico and the island Of Cuba, With
the full consent Of the great Western cotton
consuming Powers Of Europe.
What, then, will Congress do to prevent the
disruption Of this Union. 1t is folly to talk
Of coercion The right Of people, when tired
of an existing government, ito alter or abolish
H." is proclaimed in our Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Every one of these United States is
sovereignty in itself, excepting only is
limited concessions to the general government.
Nor can we discover anything in the consitu-
ton authorizing coercion against State in re-
Stunning to itself these federal concessions. An
attempt was made in the Convention tramiog
the constitution to incorporate this federal
power OF coercion against contumacCus
State; but it failed, and this Union was left to
the chances of harmony and Cancellation among
the several copartners.
At all events, nothing but Cancellation can
save it; and 1t is to be hoped that, fully I'm
pressed with this idea. all parties and all sec
tiops In this Congress will meet on Monday

calculated to maintain the Union, even to the
extent, If required, of q new Constitutional
Convention.
