Tho New York Board of Health is
breaking up the slaughter houses in
that city, and the butchers threaten to
retaliate by cutting short the supply of
beef. But what If butchers who don't
slaughter in New York choose to bring
beef 10 the city and sell it ? We APP
prehend, also, that the citizens of New
York can do without their beef as long
as the butchers can do without their
shops in New York, and they will be
pretty apt to secure meat from some
direction.

INTERESTING LETTER.

Below we give letter copied from late
authentic historical publication, issued from
a New York publishing house. II occurs
among the correspondence which passed be-
tween Abraham Lincoln and A. FL. Stephensf
and is unquestionably genuine. Readers
will observe that the letter was written after
Mr.. Lincoln knew of bis election to the Pres
;dencv and when he stood as the actual head
of the Republican party. His pledges SO
sviemuly. given at THAT time, ought to have
been founded on truth, and he should have
SPONTANEOUSLY adhered to them. His admirers
can believe eitherth that he was too weak of
purpose to cling to his pledges and princi7
pies. or that he deliberately set to work to
deceive and blind Stephens and other great
Southern leaders as to the real intentions
and purposes of bis party, to effect the ruin
OF. the South. h But, argue as they may, his
followers and apologies will be forced to adj
nit his total disregard for the faithful per-
Torrance of his own solemn pledges, given
without solicitation, to Stephens. Here is
the letter !: sd I
SPRINGFIELD, H., Dec. p, 1860.
Hon. II. III. Stephens h ii
| My DEARSIR :Your obliging answer to my short
ln0te Is lust received and for which please accept
my thanks. fullytappreeate the present peril
the country is in and the weight of responsibility
on me. Do the people Of the South really enter
tain fears that "a Republican Administl alton would
directly or indirectly, interfere with their slaves
orwith them about their slaves If they do.
wish to assure you, as once FRIEND and still, |
hope not an enemy that there is no cause for such
fears The South would be in no more danger in
this respect, than it would be in the days of
| Washington. Il suppose, however, this does not
meet the case. You think that slavery is right,
and ought to be extended while we think it is
wrong and ought to be restricted. That sup
fpose is the rub. 1t certainlyis the only substan'
tial difference between us.
| Yours very truly, A. LINCOLN.

The FENIAN STRUGGLE IN IRELAND.-The
London dispatches during the week give in
telligence of the fresh outbreak of the Fe-
Man brave spirits in the old Mother land,
but after careful reading of all the tele-
graph communicates, we are of the opinion
that the most important news is withheld.
The dispatches bear evidence Of Govern
mental manipulation on their face, and are
clearly framed for the purpose of lettering
sympathisers with Ireland's cause in the
United States from enlisting or in any way
aiding the gallant, dauntless men, who have
taken the field in Ireland. 1t is a shameful
admission of her own weakness, if the re-
ports be true, that the British Government is
so much exercised over the rebellion of only
500 Fenians that she has to hurriedly dis
patch great ships of war, and send over her
greatest military commanders and statesmen
to quell the "insurrection." Why, her con-
stabulary and ordinary military force in
either Cork or Kerry ought at any time to be
able to put down 500 armed men in rebellion
Those who know anything of the geography
and topography of Ireland will not be de-
ceived by the kilograms so far sent. If the
instruction ragged only in the counties of
Cork or Kerry, what was the need of sending
war ships to Mahalide, on the. eastern coast
below Dublin? We are told Stephens IS
suspected of being there. Ifhe is, then we
may be sure Dublin is a warm place for her
.Majesty's officers. But we have not space
now to present, as we easily could, the many
absurdites and incongruities contained in
the dispatches. Perhaps the ''insurrection"
is queled for the present, but we are conf
rdent and hopeful that the Fenian cause will
yet achieve complete victory, and that many
Of as will survive to see Ireland an indepen-
eentnation. God speed that blessed day.

LABOR RIoT.-The San Francisco dispatch
es of Feb. 18th tell of riot which took
place in that city the day before, growing
out of the employment Of Chinese as labor
ers to fill the places of white men. The diff
iculty arose from the discharge of two or
three hundred white laborers by contractor
named Grant, because the men refused to
stand reduction Of wages from $Sto 81 70
per day. Cinnamon were employed in their
stead. helaborers soon after formed a pro-
cession, demolished the Chinese shanties,
and drove the Coolies from work. They then
marched 10 the Portrero, their ranks swelling
as they went, until about 600 were assembled.
Tubbs' rope walk, in which large number
of Coolies were employed, was the point they
marched for. Alarmed at their approach,
the Cinnamon fed. The laborers fred and
destroyed long row Of Chinese shanties,
and then proceeded to another place were
Chinese ware emplnye0. The frightened
Coolies had hurriedly left. By this time
Chief of Police Crowley and,a small police
force rode up, and after brief and sensible
speech to the crowd by Crowley, they prom
ised to cease violence and quietly dispersed
without further trouble. :" d so..Ail ''t

Drawbacks and dead-weight Of the Democrats.
A revolution which annihilates slavery, the
only obstacle which ever stood in the way of
Democratic success, slavery, the only principle
OF cohesion which ever bound the Republican
arty together, is less formidable to the Demo
cratic party than to these Republican trimmers
who are looking about for a safe place of re-
treat when their party shall have disintegrated
nto conflicting personal factions. The wedges

ill'split II into rival and bitterly hostile seq
