vIpws oF TgE NEW YORK EMPRESS.


We deplored the morning after the Presidential Elec-
ton the triumph of the Northern sectional party oIgan-
izaton the greatest calamity that ever beie this no"
unhappy country-for what we see and hear irom
the South we foresaw to be It's inevitable sequence
SectiOHais North by epcy Ld0 Of nature, DiHsf pro-
daee sec,ioaalism SOk. We said, proved demonstra-
ted all this almost every day for three menhs before the
eecton-bu us "UnioE;ayers," we were sneered at
and denounced and warnings deemed 10 be merely
"poical talk" and hence were all in vain Il is beyond
the power Of conservative men in the Nerth now TO save
the Union" No public meetings no professions OF theirs
would do the least good. All do is to beg our
alarmed Southern countrmen to pause, and TO stand 0y
who have faithfully stood by them and their consi
tutional rights in the Unon Ony one Northern State
however has even this right to address the South and
that is the State of New Jersey the old battle ground Of
Washington where in Trenton aud Princeton he struck
blows that electrified the Colonial Unon-for all other
Northern States in joining the sectional organization APP
pear nimca the South and suspect in all the pc
tons they may have to send up or remonrlnces they
may have to offer.
Deplorable and alarming As is the news from the
Southern States the Republican Party at the North flush
ed with victory it is and greedy for and unexpe-
rienced n Federal power is yet in temper TO appre
cAte the crisis To say nothing Of such speeches, as We
have from Senator Sumner-the rumors we have fom
Springfield LncOn's home and such articles We have
from "the Evening Post" and New York Times, all
20 to show that the Republican Party is utterly ignorant
Of the South and of the deep revolutionary tn,
quence OF the twenty years threatening, remonstra
ing we have been haycg from the South have not the
least idea that crisis Is impending there or II Is they
deem il such crisis may be crushed With powder and
ball They ignore the fact that for The FIRST time in the
history of land Sectional Party has sez ID Federal
pOWer in avowed hostility TO the whole South, aud that
even the forewarnings of the Father of his Country in
his Farewell Address have not had the least effect upon
that Northern Party. They conound the "cry oi sal
walton" now raised in the whole South, With the neie
II. ~ IA,
can mind in the North in short has not the least idea
of what is going on South, or vhat The South meGns,-
and Is will begin TO comprehend it, TIL the cry oi
Bread Blood is raised in our own streets, when
thousands and tens of thousand of our hborers are
thrown out Of employ.
Fer our own conservative readeH-no. for our r.
publican and yet incredulous readers-we feel 1t our
duty ~ say that in opinion the very brink
Of Revolution and in he mids. Of Il crisis just exactly
Ike that which preceded the sheddog of blood at Con
cord and Lexington But life lost in this Conflict
nov arising beyond the flourish OF ieNds, now spread
ing into the dignity Of dro,and million Of biyonets
will be brstlng from the Su;quehauna TO the Rio
Grande with consequent aud inevitable cyi war in such
cities as 81. Louis, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
loTk-where parties wall divide, North and some
South ali ending in ''coi tcts' among themselves he
one against the Other
Parties of course IN such crisis this viii
to exist they are aud riorm in other shapes-but
our duty now everywhere North and South TO try to
stop this revolution Alas We OF the North, who are
not OF the Northern sectional party, pow5rless! =!
We have exhausted ourselves ia heroic elJris here iu
New York city, TO save our country from the Rsvolu
ton, aud our power is spent Whatever say new is
answered by the thousands aud tens Of thousands OF
majOrtes against US proclaming You have no power
We are not only without authority, but without iulu-
ence IL the State Our very efforts Ito save the
Union" would ouy bring down the old Republican ridi
culc upon our heads The Republicans now have all the
duties 70 discharge An organ Of heirs-thc Evening
Post-cils upon the Federal Government TO force.
First there is great doubt whether any law cxiss
in this country 10 bring Federal force against State
iorce if there does, whether il would amount TO any
thing thus brought against a Stale. But force be
any remedyy II So the South right when they soy,
We have rot been having an elsctiSn but snIjee-
gnesfH,reated" 1--WE are suJjeeis-ciGseHs, no more"
The Repub lean party in order to arrest the impend-
ing revolution must satisfy the South-that it as "a Gov
eminent that has created, not conques :" that the
people Of the South are yet Citizens sutiecis"-
The Union men Of the North are poweress to establish
such important facts We cannot say even, that this is
Government in which the States equal, and have
equal ights,-for, as We understand the Republican
creed this is denied We promise the South
the execution of Federal laws obedience to the Fed
raj Constitution as expOuudad by the Supreme Rdral
Tribunal. Only the Republican parry eau do oil this
What they will do remains to be seen,as the crisis in
creasc3 South aud upon the North, and thus dis
pel5 X spublican ncredulty.
