SIGNIFICANT.

+.
Tho following, from the New York Day Book,
possibly possesses deeper significance than many
people imagine:
There il powerful and numerous revolutionary
organization, the object of which is to separate
the city and port Of New York from the Union and
from the State, and make it free and independent
port. ehave heard that q printed programme
is in private circulation, to which some four thous-
and names are attached, proposing this scheme
If our information Is correct, rs we are forced
TO believe it is the rnmor merits much ventilation.
1t may turn ont that the success of the reVolu-
tionsts at the South has wrought wider and
deeper dlsorganization than we had supposed.
Reports, similar to the above, are becoming rife,
and are gathering strength and significance every
day. or course, we cannot be supposed to be in
possession Of accurate knowledge in the premises,
yet we frankly express the belief that the organi
zation alluded to is ten times stronger than it is re-
ported to be in the above extract and that, within
any given six hours after suitable signals are
made it can concentrate an overwhelming force
at any point the leaders may designate and carry
out the purposes they may have in view.
If we know anything about this matter, some of
the ablest and shrewdest men in the free States
are at the head of it--men who have been op-
pressed, robbed and outraged, in every conceiv-
able manner by the SAbolonists-men, who see
utter pecuniary ruin and absolute personal degra-
dation ahead, If their city is to continue under
Black Republican rue--and whose only hope only
chance Of redemption, lies in revolution, and in
declaring New York free port to all the nations
and peoples Of the earth.
Therefore, we think these rumors reasonable, for
the facts are, undoubtedly, as stated. Unless New
York becomes a free port, she is bound to sink to
the level Of fifth-rate commercial metropolis.
Consequently, every man interested in the city is
also interested in forwarding any movement that
will tend to release it from the blighting thradom
of Black Republican tyranny.
When the "signaln will be given depends, to a
great extent, upon the authorities at Washington,
providing they do not dilly-dally too long. When
the heavy cannon thunders in the vicinity of Forts
Sumter and PickeDs, or elsewhere upon the coasts
of the Confederate States and the telegraph car
ries the news to the North we shall not be unut-
terably astonished if a revolution breaks out in
New York--if absolute free trade is declared-and
il some twenty or fifty of vrulent Abolition
lists are hung without ceremony to twenty or fifty
score Of lamp-posts, within twentyfour hours after
wards! We must acknowledge, and do so freely,
! that we have heard the names Of distinguished
members Of the editorial fraternity mentioned in
Immediate connection with tile first ropes it is pro-
proposed shall be used
Senator Chandler, Of Michigan, suggested in the
United States Senate the other day, thata "little
blood letting down South might do good. He
spoke Of shedding the blood of Southerners as
coolly as skillul surgeon performs an operation.
How just the "doctrine of compensation" will be
its workings, if some of the vile blood of these
traitorous and Infamous Abolitonists should be
tlet,' by their own free State brethren whom they
have so long nsulted and plundered!
Matters are rapidly arriving at that pitch Well
fNobody's hurt''-in thissection of country.
