lot is far below that Of the happy negro Of the
sunny South, whom they wish to reduce to the
same level Of poverty, excessive toll and pre-
mature 'death. Meantime the revolution is
making rapid progress at the South, and
nothing. can arrest it but the speedy rendition
of all.the rights and immunities guaranteed to
the slave States by the deed Of Union. Other
wise the partnership will be dissolved by the
withdrawal of the Southern members from the
firm; and that will be the saddest day the
! Northern States have ever seen-a day of sor-
row and gloom for human liberty all over the
world.
| Tho Corrupt Party CIiques OF New York
and the Great Issues Before the Coun-
try.
The utter 6epravity and Jotteuness Of the
| rowdy, houlderhitting, pothouse brawlers
| who compose Il Q different democratic cliques
| of this.city have never been NOR wildly mani
tested than in the attitude they preserve at the
present moment in face of the solemn and mo-
meutous crisis which agitates the Union. A
ray of patriotism or scintillation of honest ma
,ional sentiment could more easily be galva
| nized out of earthworms than from the hearts of
TIE mercenary jugglers and wirepulling spoils-
men of the rival Tammany and Mozart demo-
| cratic factions At time when rightmnded
citizens are contemplating with species of
awe the progress of q storm which may yet
rend the very basis Of our national prosperity,
| ,ese ruffian eggars continue to snarl, bark
! and fight over the smallest bones of plumber,
with no other concern or care for the future
beyond perpetuating the atrocious tyranny
with which they have hitherto monopolized
power, place and patronage, to the exclusion Of
| every decent ember of society. None of
| them are to be looked to for any assistance
| whatever in averting the calamities with which
the Union is threatened.
| The period has long since passed away for
doubling that the preservation Of the republic,
in its integrity, will dependupon the election to
its chief magistracy next November of sound
national man, and upon the reputation by the
North Of the atrocious disunion doctrines of
William e. Seward and his followers. The
most prudent and intelligent statesmen in all
parts of the land recognise that there never
will have been o period upon which more of
! evil or of good to the country will depend than
during the months preparatory and initiatory of
| the Presidential election. The flag Of sectional
discord which has been unfurled by the repub-
lican party will, if triumphant carry desolation
| to every hearthstone in the land. Yet it Is the
bitter truth, that If the salvation Of the country
depended upon any of the democratic cliques
| of this city, or upon the miscreant Regency at
| Albany, the darkest and most frightful future
might be anticipated. The leprous, brutal
| politicians of Tammany and Mozart Halls are
| not only needless of the welfare Of the Union,
but will always refuse to contribute to it, I'm
less the aid they can render is bargained for.
The same is the case with the free soil conf
dence men at Albany, who are already prepar
| ing to sell themselves to, Seward, just as they
bargained away the Wise letter.
It is evident, then, that if there were no
| other hope for the cause of nationality in
| New York than the depraved demagogues
| who now control its democratic organizations,
the 'irrepressible conflict" theory, illustrated
| by John Brown practice, and with Helpers
pamphlet for its paraphrase, would be cram
med down the public throat next fall. Were
there no "higher power" in the city and State
than the dirty hirelings, Iscariots, bullies row.
dies, gougers, jail BIRDS rum hole proprietors,
keepers and owners of the vilest dens of dis
ease and prostitution, shoulderhitters, strikers,
and scoundrels generally-the history Of whose
exploits is to be found in police chronicles Of
every execrable brutality-whose names are
| to be found upon the lists of Democratic Gene
| raj Committees, regular and irregular; who
have been prominent at ward, city, county,
| State, and, for all we know, national conven-
| tons, the triumph Of Sewardite treason would
be certain, the very lowest depths of political
degradation would have been sounded, and
| New York would be compelled to descend to
scale as low as that of Vermont, or even
Massachusetts,. Fortunately, there is great
| corps de reserve of over three-quarters Of
| million in the North, overwhelming in its
strength in this State, whose voice will be
heard in the coming emergency.
| Under the vile system Of misrule, terrorism
and drunken, blasphemous infamy which char
acterizes both the faction at Tammany and
| that at Mozart Hall, citizens of unstained
and irreproachable reputation have shrunk
back from such association, as the very
worst concentration of depravity and wicked
ness. They might we'll do SO. They will al
ways continue to do SO. But, constituting as
they do, the worth, thought, probity, intelli-
gence and numerical strength of the communi-
ty, they know how at the proper time to thun-
der into the ears of the belly politicians, in
Office and out of Office, around them, "Thus far,
and no further That time has nearly come
now. A keen and convincing perception is
overwhelming, like spring tide, the minds of
the honorable, patriotic, Union loving masses
