Mucu Apo ABOUT NoTHING.-The politicians
at Washington are making tremendous pother
over the question of slavery in the Territories,
and the radical republicans declare that they
will never give up that portion Of the Chicago
platform which positively prohibits the extern
sion Of the peculiar institution into any Terri
tory which may hereafter apply for admission
into the Union as State. On the other hand,
the conservative republicans, knowing that the
question is purely an abstract one, desire to
waive IL altogether. The matter was first agi-
tated with regard 10 Kansas. where there were
never more than hundred slaves at any one
time since the settlement of the State. There
was but one slave in Nebraska when the Terri
fosial act went through Congress. Now there
are less than fifty in New Mexico, and
still smaller number In Arizona. In the other
Territories, Idaho, Columa and Jefferson, In
cluded in the bill reported last year, there are
no slaves, nor will there ever be any, on &C.
count OF certain natural prohibitions of soil and
climate, quite well known TO every school boy.
The question: then, is purely abstract and senti-
mental, kept alive by small politicians to serve
their own ends. IL Mr.. Seward and the con-
scrvatlvc republicans have sufficient pluck to
remove this whole question of slavery in the
Territories from the political warfare now
being wsced, the settlement Of oil pending
questions will follow in due time. Otherwise.
We shall live 10 see the most prosperous nation
hat the world has ever seen ruined by sec
lonal war, upon purely abstract question.

the Garrisons, the Giddingse, the Phillipses, the
Summers, the Hales. and the rest Of the aboli-
non faction, have been working for thirty
years 70 bring about civil war, and IL will. go
hard with them If they fail. The sanguinary
manual OF revolution and servile iasurrecuon'
published by Hinton Rowan Helper, was Issued
from the treason shop OF the Tribune, IN spruce
reot, during the whole Of the Presioenual
campaign of The last year. and the atroclous
sentiments of that book, which inculcates the
destruction of slavery by means of insurrection
in the Southern States, were endorsed by the
signatures of sixty eight republican members
Of Congress. 1t is not to be wondered at if
many Of them still adhere to their former
action, now that aey have been successful in
electing their man. Their whole present course
Indicates that they are thirsting for blood and
that they are resolved it shall flow in torrents.
In the Senate on Wednesday they voted
to = man against the printing and re-
ferring to a committee the adjustment of
the Peace Conference, and yesterday they
did their utmost to get rid of it. The
deluded fanatics imagine that if they get the
Wide Awake regiments at the South the whole
fabric Of slavery will fall as if by magic.
Hence they will make no compromises, and
they are highly indignant at the "trick" by
which the vote of New York against compro-
mise in the Peace Conference was neutralized;
and the Tribune boasts that it is victory with
out moral weight, and that it will not be en-
dorsed either by Congress or the President.
Their hopes are in ga baptism of blood" as
one of the fanatical journals describes the con-
templated massacres. But if they should succeed
in bringing on a civil war, and should be able
to maintain their position, the day will come
when the republican leaders will eat each other
ap, az did the factions of the French revolu-
tion-tbe extremes of the Mountain squelching
the party of the Gironde, the Commune making
minced meat Of the Mountain, and the Deem
virs, with Robespierre at their head, booming
to the guillotine the leaders of the Commane,
till at last Robespierre himself in turn, fell by
the decree of his own Decemvirs, and thus the
revolution, like Saturn, devoured its own chill
dren.

"'iOvE LIES IN DANGER."-Scvcral years
ago Burton used to play in piece which had
for its title this startling caption, "Your Life's
in Danger" The plot of the play rests upon
question of mistaken identity-a footman being
pursued as crown prince who has escaped
from his dominions in order to avoid the
scafold. After tremendous scare the unfor-
tunate servant is released, and the play comes
to an end. 1t has seemed TO us that there is a
good deal Of this fegcical element in the alleged
plots against the life of the President elect.
All the stories of mysterious individuals, with
hand grenadcs, bombs and air guns; all the
rumors of secret associations bound together
by solemn oaths to take away Mr.. Lincoln's
life, sound more like the incidents Of Bowery
melodrama than the sober recital of the events
Of this utilitarian age. Still, although every
body laughs, some Of the republicans keep up
the cry, and one declares that there is still
another plot to assassinate Lincoln, and that
the attempt is to be made on Inauguration
bay. Some of our very sharp detective officers
have discovered that the Capitol is to be blown
up, and that all of our newly elected rulers are
to be cut of at the same moment We presume
that the same merchants bankers and states
meu" who endorsed the Baltimore plot are
deep in this latter conspiracy. Will our enter
prising contemporary furnish us with the names
of the merchants, bankers and statesmen"
aforesaid Although unsuccessful, they should
stilI have their proper place in history. Mean
time, how comes on the Inauguration plot
THE NV TARIFF OF THE SOUTHERN COME
ptRAcY-lrs OPERATION on BUSINESS N NEw
YoEx-The sudden rush Of business in New
York, in consequence Of the new Southern
tariff coming into operation on the 18th Of
March, presents quite a contrast to the dulness
and suspension Of business which have pre-
vailed ever since the Presidential election An
account of the operations may lie seen in
another column.
Any goods shipped and at sea before the 18th
of March will 60 free Of duty to the Confe-
derate States. Hence the excitement and
the hustle at our docks. AS a considerable
portion of the goods ordered have already paid
duty, second duty would bring these articles
to 80 high price as to render them unsaleable,
or cause great loss to the Southern shop
keepers. There are some of our merchants
who. foreseeing the revolutionary times, did
not order any new stock, who now regret
it, as during the present week they could have
made immense sales. Most of the transactions
are either for cash or on new credit, in conse-
quence of present payment of portion of
former Indebtedness. The greater part Of the
business done with the South for the last four
months is merely negotiating extensions Of
hills as they become due, and putting off the
evil day. But the business this week l. of o
different character, and has created quite
stir in the city,
