T. The most yenOmons of the Abolition journals Of
ahe North are beginning to perceive and appreciate
tli4e frightfu dilemma in which they have placed
theAnselyes by their own folly. fanatcisn and dis
honesty. The New York Times, Of late date-a
strohg Black Republican journal-speaking Of ex-
istingf and prospective effects Of the Morrill, Tariff,
observes:
We have unduestionable authority for stating that
orders to the amauntof atleast Il 600 600 sent ont
from this city hafara it was deemed possible that
the Morrill, tariff could become q law, have been
conntfrmanded, and the manufacturers have been
directed to send the goods Immediately to New
Orleans. fare, those destined for sale in the Gnlf
States will enter into cnnsunntnn exempt from the
prohibitory imposa of the Northern tariff; while
the remainder will pass into the Western md
Northwestern States wholly free from duty The
result OF this policy cannot he doubtfnl. Not only
will the Federal Government suffer ruinnus loss
Of revenue hut the direst prophecies Of those who
deprecated the election of Mr.. Lincoln will be veri-
fed by the destructive policy transmitted to his
Administration by its. predecessor. We shall not

way. hut reduced from national to merely pro-
Vineiai metropolis our shipping will rot at the
WharVes 5aad grass grow innnr streets. No earthly
influence sshortsof areversal Of the policy referred
to, can save notonlv New York but every North
ern port from thisEfrightful destiny.
Wig, what a terfble.Io0king picture is here
drawn. NobodY'a hurt,n said Mr.. lincoln, on
his way to Washington. "Nobody's hprt,'' said
the Black Republican presses, first and foremost
among which is the New York Times. "Nobodys
hurt,' was shouted and shouted again from Black
Republican throats over the North-and yet here
we have the deliberately enHncated statement of
one Of the leading organs of Black Repnblcanism,
that not only New York, but epery Northern
port will be subjected to the " r;ghtful destiny''
OF ruin, unless the Morrill, tariff is repealed and
different revenue policy adopted! .
ti8 toolate,n gentlemen Of the Times. The
sentence, which peaed 10 clear, trumpet tones
through the halt5of the French Chamber Of Depu-
ties" tia too late '-shaed the " frightful des-
ffnyh of the dynasty of Louis Philippe and drove
them forth exilas and wanderers from their native
land g II is too ate,n so far as the commercial
supremacy Of New York is concerned. She can
never recover from the shock she has received and
the shocks she ID bound to receive except in one
way, and even in that event but partially. She
must seceie from the United States, assert aud
maintain her independence and declare herself a
free port to the trade Of the world. If she does
ghis, she will remain great city, although the
crown of absolute commercial sovereignty will
never again press upon her brnWs.. But unless she
does this, her shipRing ,gW ROT at the wharves y
and grass 7 2eW grow in her streets''
We have "unauestionable authority for stating
thatthe figures given at the commhncementof the
extract Of the Times' article may be greatly multi
piled. Indeed, we expect here in New Orleans to
import to the extent Of our exports. This will
simply be legitimate trade. The Times may con
suit the statistics, if it chooses, but, roughly in
round numbers. as We shall export at least $780,
900 next season, we calculate upon importing
very near that amount Seventy-fve percent. of
this importation, assuming the lowest margin, will
be taken from New York. This may be very disa-
greeable to the Times, but /" facts are stubborn
things.''
"Nobody's hurt down South UpNorth they
appear TO Be A hurt Y most confouadedly.
