labor and expent.,,i.,ra must both be incurred.
Public meetings must So called every
where, and addressed BY clear headed,
eloquent and competent orators. The
great evils that must infallibly accrue to every
Northern interest, through the destruction of
the brotherly sentiment between the various
sections Of the Union, by the triumph of politi-
cal abolitionism, should be set forth in practi-
cal and familiar instances to every audience.
The inviolability Of the right Of selfgovern-
ment in the South should be exemplifed by the
exposition of its practical relations at home;
the guarantees of the constitution should be
called to mind; and in every voter there should
be planted the knowledge that, in defending
the rights Of the South, he is defending the i'm
mutable principles that secure his own.
We repeat that, to do this, much labor and
expenditure are required. Caleb Cushing has
buckled on his armor and CALAMITY volun-
teered for the work, and Mayor Wood has con-
sented to leave his other duties and interests
for time, to do his share in it; but private and
individual exertion alone Is not equal to the
task, nor can few persons be expected to
bear entirely the labor and the cost of that
which equally interests all This great fact
should be at once taken into consideration by
the merchants, the bankers and the shipowners
of New York, who are 30 Immediately and 90

tcut election. II Connecticut shows, In her
April election, majority for the conservative
interests Of the country, and for the preserva-
ton of its harmony and Union, the backbone
of the political abolition party will have been
broken, even in New England-its cradle and its
hotbed. The recent contest in New Hampshire
cannot be looked upon as any indication of the
probable coming result in New England. That
State has too little connection with the COM
merce and manufactures Of the country to feel
the dangers now looming in the future; and,
moreover, the party leaders on the democratic
side there very unwisely preferred what they
called "a silent contest" We must not have q
silent contest in Connecticut The people
must be awakened to their true interests, and
the dangers that menace them. Let the mer-
chants of New York raise at once a fund to do
this work. 1t is their fight that is being
fought, and few thousand dollars raised and
expended now may save the day in Connect

lost; they must act now-to-day; and we call

Importance of the Connecticut Election

Importance Of the Connecticut Election
to the New York Merchants-Vhat
Should he Done to Save IL.
We have received number of curious inte-
resting and important communications from
the State of Connecticut, showing the different
phases Of the moral and political revolution
now going on there, and springing from the
material injury to the interests of the indus
trial classes produced by the political agita-
ton Of the abolition theories, and their adep-
ton as platform by the black republican
party.
The first public movement was the conven-
ton of manufacturers called at Meriden: aukf
when they came together two enduring and
opposing forces were found to be operating in
the bosom Of every man. A great falling off
in the demand of the South for Connecticut
made goods led to the conviction that If the
black republican party should triumph, the re-
suit would be an inevitable and total loss of
the Southern markets, and the first impulse was
that the convention should set the facts
truly before the people. Then came up
in each mind the fear that if the fall
ing of in trade was acknowledged, it would
operate individually to the injury Of the COM
mercial standing and credit. at the banks aud
in the community Of every manufacturer who
acknowledged decline in his business. Be
tween these two conflicting emotions the con-
vention Of manufacturers came to naught, the
members fearing to take really practical
position.
Subsequent events. however. have shown
that the people Of Connecticut have really be-
come awakened to the great dangers to their
manufacturing industry, their commercial rela-
tons, and through these to their agricultural
and domestic interests, evoked by the hostility
between the South and the North, which must
flow from q strong Northern support to the
abolition theories Of the black republican par
ty This feeling underlies the struggle that is
now agitating that State, preparatory to the
elections in April, and 1t only requires to be
brought out and made strong by develope-
ment, combination and organization, IN order
to enable the conservative elements to carry
the elections triumphansly. For this purpose

The motto of the Albany Regency is "rule
or ruin" Like the Boston Post clique who
sway the New England States, in which they
have no majorities, they do their utmost to de-
moralize and break down the democratic party
in New York city, in order that it may be re-
duced to the same level as their own anti sla
very districts, and its majorities turned into
minorities, that thus no leading democrat of
the Empire City may have chance Of gaining
an ascendency in the State. The instrument
tality they use is division. Their maxim is,
divide and rule" Next, therefore, to nomi-
mating the right man for the Presidency, the
most essential service the Charleston Conven-
ton can render the democracy Of this i'm
portant State, on which may hang as by a
single hair the fate Of the whole democracy,
and of the Union itself, is to put down these in
solent dictators, and quell the spirit Of faction
by sternly refusing to admit single man Of
the delegates from the State of New York till
they settle their quarrels among themselves,
and come for admission in one harmonious
band, ready to take counseltcgether as friends,
and to present a united unbroken front to the
common enemy.
