Fruits Of the Triumph of Sec
tiOnalisln.

hAOAahISAAs
Before the election the leaders of the
Black Republican party were ineOssant in
ridieuling the fears Of the conservative men,
that the success Of Lincoln, the sectional
and irrepressible conflict candidate, would
Lead to a dissolution of the Uuion. And
they even imposed so far upon the creduli-
ty Of their followers as to assure them that
if Lincoln were only elected the whole
country would enjoy universal prosperity
But the Union is already dissolved. Our
country is no longer the United States, and
the promised prosperity of our Black Re
publican leaders, is only to be realized in
the depreciation of our currency, the disap-
pearance Of gold and silver from amongst
US, the ruinously low prices of every kind
of produce, which the farmers have TO sell.
aud the general stagnation Of business.
Leaving civil war out of the question
altogether--which certainly we fear is in
evitabe-the triumph of sectionalism is
already undoiug US, and will eventually
involve the whole country in commercial
ruin Owing to the bountful harvest with
which kind Providence has blessed the
Northwest this season, our people have not
yet tasted the fruits in all their bitterness.
But in every other section all classes ure
being overwhelmed by the calamity -
Merchants and manufacturers are becom-
ing bankrupt every day, and starvation and
want already s,ares tens Of thousands of
the working classes 10 the face.
From the following extracts, which we
clip from some of our exchanges, our read.
ers may see how the success of the Black
Republican party already affects trade and
commerce in the Eastern States:
sTOPPAGE OF BUSINESS IN NEW YORK.
One clothing establishment which we
might name, has discharged | 900 hands
a hat establishment has discharged nearly
LOGO; asaddlery firm has reduced its force
about 500; and curtailment is very gener-
al. AT Newark especially, the crisis is
very severely felt, or account of their ex
tensive connections with the Southern
trade. Should there be no imuroyemeut.
much suffering must ensue among the Ia
boring classes. 1t appears singular at first
sight, that thus far, houses in the Western
business are the largest sufferers; but it is
inevitable that all classes of trades suffer
from the pIeVailing an c, unless we accent
the manufacturers vi fire arms. 1t would
probably be no exaggeratiOn to estimate
the number of persons thrown out of ems
picyment since election day, at % ,OOO a
large proportion of whom are young women.

EFFECTS OF LINCoLN's ELECTION on THE BI-s>
mss OF NEWARK, Nj.
The Newark Journal saws that in conse-
quence of the panic and suspension of
Southern trade caused by the election of
Lincoln. IN that city alone between 5000
aud 10000 mechanics and laborers have
been thrown out of employment. The fac
tories have all either partially or wholly
suspended operations.
THE IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT IN coNNEcrI-
CUT.
The Hartford Times hears of large estan
llshments reducing work which 1t NAV not
be proper now to name. Iu Bridgeport
l,OOO employers are out of work; and in
New Haven 1000. Duncar's Hoop Skirt
factory at Bristol has stopped work. The
Plantation Hoe Co , and the Southern Car
rage Co, both Of Wlnsted, have had large
Southern orders countermanded. The
sloppage of the Birmingham Iron and Steel
Works, is the worst blow to that village
which Birmingham has ever experienced.
HARD TINES IN MASSACHUSETTS.
A prominent manufacture estimates that
within thirty days, unless things take n
change for the better, Massachusetts will
have luO,OOO operatives out of employment.
The Boston Trareler Of the Sd inst. saws.
Since the revival of the manufacturing Inns.
mess upon the close of the panic of 1857
there has been a very large increase of
spindleS IN several of our cotton factories
while number Of new establishments
have been commenced, and in some cases
are about completed. The present crisis
however, will tend to check this undue ok
panslOD. We hear of one extensive man
uta ctureT of this city who CONTEMPLATED
extensive additions to one of his eastern
mills, but who has within few weeks. un.
der the present aspect of affairs. counter
manded all orders looking to an extension
OF business.
EFFECTS on THE WORKING CLASS.
The cotton and wooden manufacturers of
Philadelphia have resolved to work only
three-quarters time, and one mill will close
entirely.
The Schenectady NelCs says that one of
the largest fouEdries IN the city has par
tally suspended for lack of orders, in con.
sequence of LiDcoln's election.
The Paterson IN j. Register of the lst
inst, says one or two republicans who are
proprietors of factories in that place, have
been going around endeavOring to get the
majority of the mill owners to work half |
time. They say this is the only expedient
that can defer a speedy and entire stop
page.
Two of the shoe manufacturers in Natick |
massachusetts, have recently failed with |
liabilities estimated at Sl25, GOO Between
two and three hundred shoemakers are out |
OF employment, with little prospect of i'm
provement in the business The shoe bus |
mess at Haverhill, is about ut a stand still I
a large number of mechanics are out of I
employment, and those who are at work .
receive but small compensation.
And so the " irrepressible conflict" pro-
crosses, and will progress until it will have
brought ruin and disaster upon every com.
munity In the country.
