meter and down went the barometer. The
snow began TO melt, the streets were ankle
deep with slosh and salt and dirt all mixed In
one nasty mes, and the tribulations of pedes.
TRANS, especially the fairer section of them,
were awful to see and disgusting to share In
the evening came heavy rain, which washed
of portion Of the streets and made others
entirely impossible. Yesterday was a bright
warm, clear, lovely day; but thousands were
prevented from enjoying outdoor exercise by
the filthy coalition OF the streets. Something
should be done in the way Of cleaning them
without delay.
The Reaction Among Merchants and
ManulaCt1rcrs-The Pcr4astaAco I'm
Running Sherman Doing Its Work.
A deep and pervading conviction is taking
possession Of the public mind that the doc
trines and policy inculcated by the leaders Of
the abolitionized republican party are causing
a real and business estrangement between the
North and the South which must be prejudicial
to both parties, but most 80 to the North, and
which, if persisted in, must lead to revolution
and the reign of terror and blood.
For the South, the question is one Of self
preservation, Of safety to the homes and lives
of their loved ones, Of the value Of all proper
ty, and of the security of the hard sought earn
ings of years Of toll. Mr.. Seward proclaims an
"irrepressible conflict" which shall destroy the
entire existing order of things at the South, and
ends his brutal and bloody harangue with the
rhodomontade exclamation, "Where liberty il,
there my home shall be-" Helper follows soon
after, counselling the most violent courses, and
sixty.eight republican members of Congress,
including John Sherman, the present republi-
can candidate for Speaker, sign q circular
recommending the book, and urging their par
tsans to contribute money for its wide circula-
ton. John Brown follows the practice endors-
ed by John Sherman, and makes a practical
demonstration of Stewards theories When
Justice overtakes him, the fanatics who have
fed on Stewards theories and Helpers teach
Several of the abolitionized republican leaders
have become alarmed at the evident shock these
facts have given to the public mind, and one of
them, Senator Doolittle, Of Wisconsin, denied on
the floor of the Senate that there was any SYM
pathy for John Brown among his constituents.
reliable correspondent in Milwaukee writes us
as follows about the manifestations at John
Browns execution
In countless those that roll up large repub

,hurch and public bells were rung the day OF his
tuition in hts honor. Meetings in dne, ent localities have
quite numerous, and the John Brown sermons have
preached from dozen pulpts Of them
declaring the gaows upon which he was hung "a sacred
"a the Cross Of our Saviour.
This extract truthfully describes the fanau-
cism into which the abolitionized republican
leaders have led their deluded followers and
which has so shocked the common sense and
patriotism of the country. The first results
are seen and felt in the awakened sense of
selfrespect and selfdefence in the South,
leading them to decline to purchase and
use articles manufactured by people who
declare such bloody war against them.
Southern Senators come into the halls Of Con-
gress clothed all in homespun, or in the pro-
duct of foreign looms; Southern railroad COM
those of local manufacture; Southern planters
decline to purchase the woven fabrics, ma
chinery, harness and implements produced in
the abolitionized North and Southern legisla-
tors cogitate how o diferential license tax may
BIO imposed on Northern traders. To such an
extent does this feeling operate at the present
time, that our hotels and merchants already
feel sensibly the absence of the usual Southern
purchasers who come to buy goods for the
spring trade, and there is well founded con-
viction that the sale Of goods usual in the now
opening season for the Southern markets will
be much smaller than it has been for many
years. This conviction is so pressing, that
many of our merchants have got up circulars
and sent them through the South, showing
their soundness on the question Of the day, and
rejecting all afiliation with the black republi-
can theories of Seward, the counsels Of Helper,
the endorsement of Sherman, and the practice
of John Brown. The local manufacturers in
this region are also feeling the pressure, and
beginning to move, as is evident from the con-
vention which those of Connecticut have called
to meet at Meriden, in that State, on the 18th
instant
These facts, which are now coming home to
the pockets of the leading merchants and ma
nufacturers inothe North, will soon be felt in
the pockets of the thousands in their employ
ment The pressure is increased by the per-
sistance Of the black republicans to elect as
Speaker Sherman, the endorser Of Helper and
recommended of the treason shops In New
York. The longer they insist upon that revo-
lutionary movement, the greater will be the
excitement and the more intense the feeling OF
the popular mind against them. Men are be-
coming convinced of the danger Of permitting
this abolition fanaticism to 60 on ruling their
political action. Merchants and manufacturers
already feel the evil Of government deviating
from the path Of its duty, to enforce moral
