A New Southern Party.

1t will be news 10 a good many honest peo-
pie in the North to learn that a rew party is
in pr cess Of incubation in this city, the foun.
ders and instigators Of which expect it will vet
be the dominant power in the nation. Meet

Of this new organization at the Everett House

ported TO have been present at these meet
irca are Fernando Wood, Fred. A. Talmadge,
Gideon Tucker, james Brooks, Augustus
Schell, George w. Morton, james Greene,
Hon. James F.. Kerigan, Hon. Benz. Wood,
and other equally distinguished gentlemen.
The theory of this party is that as soon as
the southern armies are out OF the way, and
the worst feature Of military rule over the con.
quered States b'gin to appear. there will be a
revolution in feeling at tho North in favor of
"our southern brethren that the pressure Of
taxation, the prostraion Of trade, the swarm.
ing of idle negroes North, will all rebound to
the discredt Of the present administration,
and that then would be good time for the
new party to come before the country and car
ry everything before it.
Tie programme of this new organization
will therefore be-
l. Opposition TO the emancipa:io ion and an
Ii slavery policy of the administration.
2. Opposition to its financial policy.
8. Opposition to its confscstion policy. its
irregular aud uncoLstiL tional action, and is
alleged co'ruptions.
This party, it is supposed, will carry every
thing before 1t at The South, both in the cot.
ton and Bordc' States, and with good luck
and good management, a favorable resnl, is
also hoped in sufficient number Of the North
eru Safes 10 give it the Presidency and Con.

We make this matter public as it is entire
ly too good thing to keep quiet The gen.
temen interes' ed, who have been "doing good
by stealh," will "blush to find il fame."-

From the N. Y. Evening Post,J
AIden's TYpe-Setting Machine.

This invention, regarding which paragraphs
have been floating around in the newspapers
for several years, has at last reached compile
ton, and is now in practical operation. Al.
den was a native Of Massachusetts,, but lived
in this city, engaged as printer and devising
this machine, which cost him twenty years Of
labor and $40 900 iu money, while the inven.
tor died without reaping the benefit Of his in

By means of this mechanical type setter !,
type (both letters and punctuation marks) is
picked up, properly placed in the composing
stick, and distributed after use, the operator
producing these effects by manidulation of the
keys, one person thus doing the work Of six
or eight compositors.
The price of this remarkable machine is
$500, and already number have been order
ed for some of the leading printing and news
paper establishments in the city. Aspecimen
will be sent to the London exhibition. One
is now on exhibition at Mr.. Yeaton's office in

by radical abolitiopists We mean wretches
who are destroying tho system of slavery BY
sword and fire and devastation. The fiends
Of bell are moro humane and noble. They
are Fastening the overthrow Of slavery By
bringing on, not only the South, but on the
Republic, great tribulation. These devils in
human shape abound in this city, and call
themselves Secessionists, Southern Rights
men, Fire.Eaters, and Confederates. They
are striking deadly blows at slavery every
day. They are making the tenure of slavery
uncertain. They are running the crops raised
10y slaves. They are burning the tobacco, su
gar and cotton, which only make slave labor
desirable. They are running off slaves. They
are impressing slaves. They are forcing them
into the rebel army. They are driving them
to work in rebel Notifications, when they
know that all such saves must be confscaied.
They are running that quiet and security Of
slave communities without which il IL utterly
impossible to retain slaves. These are their
own acts. and they stand self convicted before
the country of being the most dangerously
and UNANIMOUSLY radical Aboitionsts that have
ever ours d the land with their folly. One

with slaves IS strictly enforced. then woe TO
these Southern Rights men! And yet. with
a towering, supreme, unparalleled, astounding,
unprecedented, unequaled, unhe~rd of impu-
dence, rebels charge us with attacking slave
~. You lie, you villains, and you know j.
You attack slavery with club. knife, poison,
halter, fire and water. You burn it, strange
it, steal il drown it, and vet you inquire,

BrownIow,. Plan Of Trying It ON.


Psrson Brownlow is known TO be q decided
pro-savery man, but be is not one Of the sort
who are thrown into spasms Of Indignation ev-
cry time the word freedom is mentioned. He
tells you merely, in reply, Of the practical dif-
hculties Of emancipation, and It would seem,
from conversation he had lately with the
editor Of the New York Evangelist, thai he
is not unwilling to see the experiment tried
The Evangelist says:
"As We bad the privilege Of meeting him
in private a few evenings since, we took occa.
sion TO sound him on this point, wishing to
see il he was as toucLy on the subject as some
loyal men at the South, who profess to love
the Union much, but seem to love slavery
more. Parson Brownlow, We are happy to
say, is not one Of that sort. Though, as
Southern man, he sees all the practical diff
culties in the way, and Is disposed to move
slowly and cautiously, he is not at all fright
ened by the 'mad dog cry of abolitionist. -
One OF bis >uggestions struck US as showing 80
much Of shrewdness and common sense that
we cannot keep it back. He said: AS eman-
cipation was an experiment, he thought it
would be well, before trying it on a large
scale, to begin with single State, and he
would suggest, just by way Of experiment, to
see how it would work. they should begin
with South Carolina. There he would like
to see the Government emancipate the slaves
ard confiscate the other property Of the rsbels
and turn item out to grass.
This is good suggestion, and il there is to
be any compromise when we shall come to
the settlement Of the quarrel between the
North and South, We trust that Brownlow's
notion will form part of it. Slavery is no.
where more inveterate and powerful than in
South Carolina, and if emancipation should
succeed there, it might be taken as proved
that ii would succeed we'll everywhere. Gen.
Hunter had the same thought in his head,
but be was perhaps little irregular AID pre-.
mature in carrying it into execution.
