REPUBLICAN TENDERNESS OF CONSCIENCE
The radical republicans in Congress say it is
their consciences which impel them to wage
war against the seeding States, inasmuch as
they have sworn to sustain the constitution,
and they intend to make Mr.. Lincoln do the
came. The consoienccs Of these gentlemen do
not appear ever to have troubled them much
when they assisted in multiplying, by Personal
Liberty bills the section of the constitution
which provides for the surrender of fugitive
slaves, when they stood upon the Chicago plat
form, which proposes to subvert the constitu-
ton, and when they endorsed Helpers book,
which aims at its overthrow by fire and sword
and the destruction of the domestic Institutions
of the South. Again, Greeley says, if the re-
publicans now succumb "the judicial functions
Of the Supreme court of the United States will
be superseded Has not the Chicago plat
form already done that, and when has the 7ri-
bune, ever since the decision in the case Of
bred Scott, ceased to denounce the Supreme
Court as Of no authority? The President elect
himself has said he would not regard its deoi-
sions when in favor of the right of slave owners
to settle with their negroes in the common ter
ritory. Verify, the republican conscience is
tender.

GREELEY REruTED Our OF Hrs OwN MOUTH
The Tribune says Gan overwhelming majority
Of the people have just instructed the federal
administration to insist on the very principles
and measures" which the proposed conces-
sions require it to resign; and 1t asks, is the
republican party to succumb to the will Of the
minority? by no means, Massa Greeley. The
figures in your own almanac refute you, show
ing that the republican party who elected Lin
coin are in minority instead of an over
whelming majority Of the people. These
figures are -
For Lincoln. ,SS!,6lO
For the ether candidates. ............. 2 80i $50
If to this vote we add $4,000 for South
Carolina, whoec vote is not counted, because
she elects the President by her Legislature,
the majority against Lincoln is one million Of
votes. But these figures do not tell the whole
truth, for the official returns which we pub
lished show that the majority is over a
million. Lincoln was elected by q plurality
and not majority of the popular VOTE With
what audacity, therefore, does the Tribune
dare to say that the President of the rcpubli-
can party is elected by an overwhelming ma
jority Of the people, and that therefore, the
minority are bound to succumbl The argu-
ment cuts the other way, for if there be any
virtue in the opinion of majorities then IL Is
the republican party and their platform which

WHAT DOES SENATOR SEWARD MEAN ?-Ths
conduct Of Mr.. Seward, within the last few
days, begins to inspire the belief that he
is not the wise, peace loving statesman, who
was destined to restore the country To fts
pristine greatness, but monstrous political
chariatan What has he meant by the CANNON
contained in Lis speeches to the United States
Senator His promised "magnanimity,u and
the declaration that "posterity would wonder'
vt the Sacrifices which he would make To pre-
Herve the Union, what have become OF thems
Where is his pledge to throw overheard party
and platform, if the country's welfare required
1T His organs now tell us that he has never
had the remotest idea Of conceding anything;
that he is in fact cheat; and that his honeyed
utterances have been intended as gull, with
which to get heavy loans to supply the means
of coercing the South, and realize the idea he
once held out Of "battle," to bring the 'irre-
rressible conflict" to Its Last stage of existence
1t has been thought, too, within month Of
two, that Stewards adviser, Thurlow Weed,
was endeavering to be patriot. This is also
declared, now, to have been q sham-a Frauds
lent trick, to aid his master in bamboozling the
border States, with the short-sighted object Of
getting money out of the present Congress, and
retaining their allegiance to the Union, on false
pretences. Such swindles never succeed, and
they seem unworthy of the sagacity of such
men as Weed and Seward; but what then do
they want? Is it civil war? Servile insurreo-
ton? The utter ruin and desolation Of the
land? They are bringing these things upon us,
and if the retrograde action Of MIR. Lincoln's
Premier is persisted in; if he continues to give
the cold shoulder to the programme Of the
Peace Congress; if he imagines, fatuously.
that the border States will remain in the con-
federation, unless their claims are granted; he
will be responsible for such an epoch Of hor-
rors as will have had no parallel in the history
of any country. Future generations will cou-
pie his name with malediction, and the admi-
nistration to which he belongs will be classed
as among the direst scourges Of the human
race.
We must wait All is not quite over yet,
although the prospect before the country is
black in the extreme, and the course pursued
by the future Premier, tends to awaken the
worst fears, and TO extinglish the hopes Of
peace which he had himself kindled in the
hearts Of the people.

NEw York CRY LOBBY SCHEMES AT ALBANY
A short time ago a number of very lachrymose
letters appeared in one Of the city journals,
bitterly bewailing over the state Of the country
and the corruptions of the wicked politicians
These pathetic lucubrations bore the signature
of distinguished individual, Mr.. John L.
O'Sullivan, who lately represented this govern
mcnt at the Court Of Lisbon. No one could
understand the cause Of this sudden solicitude

A RAID UpoN WASHINGTON General Scott,
Mr.. Fouche Kennedy and several other well
meaning persons have been much exercised in
their minds Of late by tho runiors that overnor
Wise and band Of marauders from Maryland
and Virginia contemplated a raid upon the
Capitol, with view of Selling upon the public
property, and killing off the personnel of the
incoming administration. We believe that no
one except Mr.. Fouche Kennedy is now afraid
Of Wise 4 Co., but there has been descent Of
Cloths and Yandals upon Washington, and they
came in the She pc Of Western politicians, more
numerous and troublesome than the locr SITS that
devoured the substance Of the Egyptians. They
all have designs on the public treasury, and it
is not improbable that they will kill off the
President elect, as they did Harrison in Is4I
Every man of them has known Old Abe since
he was born; more than five hundred have
been on board the same fatboat, and taken
whiskey out of the same tin cup with him. As
for the rail spltters who have worked side by
side with the second Washington, they are as
numerous as the sands on the sea shore. As
Lincoln is fond Of story telling, he can repeat to
them the yarn about the boy who said all his
little brothers and sisters had the measles, and

cause there were mot measles enough to 90

bors, by blockading force. He Is rallying the
strength Of the Withdrawing States, to
resist any such aggressive and impoli-
tic movements. If they are really in
tended by the incoming administration,
it will add fresh and unappeasable cause Of
discomfort to the anti Union feeling, already
existing in the border members of the confed-
eracy. They will neither consent to taking up
arms against their brethren; nor will they re-
main neutral while their own territory is made
battle ground by abolitionists against
slavery. Hosiilities will not have commenced,
before they will have taken decided stand
against the North, and serry ranks with Geor-
gia, Louisiana and South Carolina, 10 resist q
common foe.
The prospect before the country is cherries
in the extreme. There is still time, perhaps, for
reconsideration; but the indications are, that
the expectations watch had been formed from
Mr.. Stewards Premiership are doomed to be
disappointed, and that he will fail to realize
the hopes which had been based upon his saga
city and ambition, as well as upon his patriot
ism.

The REVOLUTION AND THE COURSE OF TRADE.-
There has been great deal of furry In busl-
ness circles in this city for few days past,
sending or goods to the South purchased before
the Ist of March, on which day the new tariff
takes effect The Congress of the Confederated
States have adopted tariff similar to that of
the United States, imposing the same duties on
goods coming from the Northern States as we
now pay on those imported from Europe.
South Carolina wanted to establish free
trade, but che corld not have her way in that
respect; SO that in future the products and
manufactures of the North will have to enter
the Southern market subject to the same impost
as foreign goods The new tariff adopted by
the Congress at Washington, If it should become
law-which it will unless Mr.. Buchanan keeps
it in his breeches pocket-will surround our
tons and difficulties that, in conjunction with
the disadvantages Of the Southern tariff New
York will receive blow more severe than any
it has experienced within fifty years.
The trade of the Southern States, and of the
cotton States especially, is Of more Importance
to New York, and indirectly to Boston and
Philadelphia also, than the whole trade Of the
West put together. And for the reason that it
is more safe and reliable; because the Southern
planter has a fixed locality and certain pro-
perry; he has his plantations and his negroes;
he is always to be found, and he has on the
spot security for his indebtedness. Hence his
pay is always prompt. But in the Northwest,
on the other hand, society Is like quicksand;
it Is continually shifting and changing, rising
and falling. There is nothing stable or perma-
nent about it. It's ability to pay is dependent
upon uncertain crops; there is very little
money there, and it is extremely difficult to
collect accounts in that section, as many Of our
merchants know.
The fleet Of there two tariffs, then, upon our
trade with the best and most reliable portion
Of the country viii be most disastrously felt Ia
all the Northern cites. We learn that even
now some OF the largest houses in the Southern
trade in this city, who have not already failed,
are preparing to wind up their affairs and aban-
don business entirely. The result of this, as
regards the value of property, rents and real
estate, can be readily seen. Within two months
from this time it will probably be deprecated
from twenty to forty per cent.
