A CosrRAsr. While the people In the Gulf
States are busi..y engaged in furnishing up
their muskets and preparing for bloodshed, the
politicians in New Yovk and Pennsylvania are
busily engaged in getting ready their paper
batteries, petitions, applications for Office and
certificates of services rendered, and are bring
ing them to bear upon Lincoln with as much
sang .froid as if the country was not threatened
with civil war. This wild hunting for Office
has been the curse of this country, and it seems
that nothing can arrest it. If the Union should
be violently torn asunder, the country ruined
and laid deserted waste, the last man left
will be an Office seeker

BrsyBoDIEs IN OTHER MENs MArrERs.-The
Puritans of Massachusetts, are very pious in
their zeal against the sin of slavery, as they call
it; but they seem to forget that, while servitude
is nowhere mentioned as sin in the Bible, st.
Paul dcnounces backbiters, slanderers and
busy bodies in other mems matters which last
is the besetting peculiar sin Of the Puritans
If the anti-slavery crusade of New England
should result in the final breaking up of the
Confederacy, in the desolaton of happy homes
by civil war; and in the utter prostraton of
every interest in the country, North and South.
"all this" as has been well observed by ex-
President Tyler, in his letter published recently
in the HERALD, "will have had its origin in a
busybodiness, an interference with other peo-
pies affairs, which in private or public life
never fails to produce disturbance and ill-will.

late and control the domestic affairs of Massa-

CONDITION or THE BORDER SLAVE STATES
II is not to be disguised that the warlike prepa-
lions which are now being made in the North
have produced very bad feeling in the border
Slave States. In Maryland there is sharp
contest going on between the Union party and
the seocssonsts--thc latter desiring that a State
Convention shall be called as preliminary to
the seizure Of Washington by a corp d'etoi.
The same feeling Is manifested in Virginia,
where the party in favor of Governor Wisc's
plan TO prevent the Inauguration Of Lincoln Is
Tally increasing in strength. The Governors
Of Kentucky and Virginia, both Union men,
have declared solemnly that the passage OF
troops, intended to coerce the seeding States,
across the border will not be permitted. And
yet, in spite Of all this, the republi.
can leaders are arming their followers. This
ia worse than folly. II is absolute suicide.

alta ned it is the intention OF these consprac0rs
to declare the city and surrounding counties Of
New York an Independent State; to make it a
free port and unite its interests with those Of
the South politically and commercially.

extravagant enough, and to us no doubt they
will prove to be, if our people and our city GO
vernment are on the alert to meet the first

similar events in our own city is not to
be denied by any who understand the
materials of which our population is
formed. sympathy with the wrongs, real or
imaginary Of South Carolina, if restrained
within due bounds may be productive of good
instead of evil; but if allowed to gather material
strength and to be perverted to bad purposes
by unprincipled men, may be productive of
results most disastrous to the peace and COM
fort, and perhaps the lives Of our citizens. The
times are pregnant with extraordinary events
We are living in an age of revolution, and it is
neither the part Of wisdom nor Of patriotism to
remain unwatchful while even vague rumors
are in circulation of organizations such as we
have referred to, which, undetected aud unpro-
vided against, may bring upon us scenes more
fearful than we wish to describe. A due pre-
paration to meet any apprehended dangers Of
the kind may avert their occurrence.

ACTIVITY AND CAUSE OF PURITAN ANTI
SLAVERY PRorAGANpIsM.--By their activity and
their union among themselves, while through
party corruption and generalization the con-
servatives have been divided into factions war
ring upon each other, the Puritans have OBJ
tanned the temporary control Of the govern
ment in several of the Northern States in which
they are only minority, and yet propose to
drag the majority with them in a bloody war
of propagandism. While the other clergy
have been sleeping at their post, the Puritan
parsons have been actively sowing tares among
the wheat, and the very Sunday school even in
this city has been turned into an ant-slavery
conventicle to poison the youthful mind. With
fanatical zeal the sect has propagated its prin-
ciples through the Northwest, till that section
of the country is leavened with its perverse in
doctrination. Its avowed object and its conf
dent hope is "the ultimate extinction Of
slavery" in every Southern State. And why?
Is it because negro servitude, as they teach, is
a sin, crime, "the sum Of all villany?' Not
at all; but because the institution does not suit
them any longer, and they are intolerant of the
prosperity which it gives the South, and jealous
of the Independent position of the planters
whom they are in the habit of calling the slave
aristocracy. But in their blind fanaticsm they
overlook the many benefits they too derive
from the Southern institution which they once
cherished themselves.

therefore-in a way which may be Sc
cured by mere majority vote of each
House-Mr. Bigler submits his plan "for
taking the sense Of the people" on the
above propositions Of compromise on the 18th
of February. His object is to get a vote from
the people which will enable the two houses
before the 4th Of March, when this Congress
expires, to act intellgently regarding the pub
lie opinion of the country. He thinks that the
people, North and South, would vote for the
compromise proposed and we think SO too.
Nay more, we believe that while the election
would turn back the attention of the people of
the South from a revolutionary Southern con
fedcracy to the Union, the general result in
favor of a compromise would be 50 decisive as
to leave the republican party in Congress no
alternative except that of aiding in the two
thirds vote of each house necessary to carry
constitutional amendments out Of Congress for
the direct ratification of the several States
Let the sense of the people" az proposed
by Mr. Senator Bigler, be tried Let the ques-
ton be brought to the vote Of the Senate, at
all events, and the result one way or the other,
will relieve us Of our suspense. If the bill
shall be passed with the aid of the republi-
cans, the whole country will be alive with
hope and ready for action to make peace and
save the Union; and if the bill be rejected we
shall know that our choice is reduced to the
recognition of Southern confedcracy, or to
the calamties of general civil war. The re-
publican party in Congress hold the power in
their hands. Let them be put to the test, and
let us see whether they are ready or afraid to

THE SIN OF COVENANT BREAKING.-The Puri-
tan clergy are very animated in their denun-
Citations of the sin of negro slavery. which is
really no sin at all, but the very contrary.
The reason of their holy fervor is that negro
servtude is at a distance, and those for whom
their sermons and lectures are intended never
hear them, and if they did would not be much
edited thereby so long as their own clergy
Gust as good authority as the Puritans) preach
to them doctrines the very opposite. This at
lacking of Southern men in Northern pulpits is
laying the fattering JUNCTION to the souls of the
Puritan congregations that they are not like
other men, for which they piously thank God
in the pride of their hearts. But never do
these congregations hear one word about the
sin of covenant breaking, just because they
need some wholesome instruction on that point.
Their fathers made covenant with the fathers
of the inhabitants of the Southern States, bind
ing on the posterity of both. The descendants
of the Puritans break this covenant and trample
it under foot, and the secessionists of the South
adopting the maxim of Webster that IA bar
gain broken on one side is broken on all
Sides" declare their own obligations at an end
all which is likely to lead to civil war; Now,
if the Puritan clergy, instead of talking non
sense about the sin of negro servitudc, had
cried aloud and spared not, even "lifting up
their voice like trumpet" against the sin of
covenant breaking which gods and men abhor,
there would be no secession to-day, no peril of
the glorious Union and no danger of civil war.
The Puritan clergy are to blame. Let them
repent and do justice, and tell their focks their
sins against their brethren of the South
