EFFECT OF THE CRIsls UPON REAL EsTATE.-One
Of the results of the election of sectional admin
istraton and of the passage of a sectional tariff
bill has been the rapid and immense depreciation
in the value of real estate throughout the North.
In the city of New York, for instance, mansion
on Fifth avenue, valued at S45,0 600, was sold day
two since for S20000 and one of the magnificent
stores recently erected upon Broadway, with the
expectation that it would be rented for thirty-fve
or forty thousand dollars per annum, cannot now
be let at fifteen thousand dOars.-N. Y Herald

Messrs. Reid, Barringer, and Davis differed with
Judge Ruffin and Gov. Morehead on several sections
Of the Franklin substitute and the vote of the State
was cast accordingly. When the vote was thus cast
against the first section which relates to slavery in
the Territories, Judge Ru6n rose to enter his dis
sent and that of Gov Morehead to the vote of the
majority He said, among other things, that he had
taken his seat in that bedy with sincere desire to
establish Justice and restore harmony between the
States; that he not only hoped that this would be
done. but he would labor to accomplish it; that he
was older than the federal Constitution and Union,
and did not wish to survive them; and that, as ne
had lived under them for more than seventy years,
and had enjoyed their protection and benefits, ne
desired to die and be buried under them, and to
transmit them as precious inheritance to coming
generations These remarks were greeted with en-
thusiastic applause by the Northern commissioners,
and indeed by all who were anxious to settle exist
ing difficulties.


We do not propose to-day to discuss the Franklin
substitute. We may do SO hereafter. But we will
say this that for one we will accept it. 1t gives to
the South quite as much as was claimed by the last
Democratic State Convention of North Carolina, and

calls attention to and endorses an account of the late
Union celebration in this place by correspondent
who speaks of those who were in the procession as
"a horde of tanatical howlers" The correspon-
dent also calls on "gentlemen" of the Union party
to check these "fanatical howlers." This is just
like the oligarchy. They have no respect for the
people. The great mass of the procession referred
to was composed of honest and intelligent aboring
men, and the oligarchs appeal to the "gGetlemen"
against these laboring men, When the oligarchs
find alaborng man who will them they use him
and pet him, but as soon as they done with him
they cast him adr and no longer think of or care foc
him. When such men differ with them they call
them "fanatcal howlers." and appeal to "geqtle-
men to make these "howlers know their places.
This is a specimen of the rule which would be
established if these oligarchs and enemies of the
people could have their own way. We now tell
these exclusives, who are offended whenever an
honest working man happens to "come between the
wind and their nobility" that the People have the
power in this State, and that it would be well for
them to understand and act accordingly. We are
not in South Carolina but in North Carolina, where
an honest working man is as much entitled to his
opinions, and just as good as the owner of Bank
stock or Of hundreds Of negroes-aye, better by
far than the giddy-brained upstairs who would de-
prive them of freedom Of action and Of Speech and
many of whom, by the way, have never earned a
dime for their own support. We repeat the oil
garchs who are at the head of the disunioh party,
do not care for the people any longer than they can
Use them. They are very coed people as long as
they can lead or drive them through the agency Of
ciques, caucuses and conventions; out they become

ReSOtced, That the enactment of State Leg
slatures to defeat the faithful execution of the
fugitive slave law are hostile in character, sub
versive of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.


Resolred, That in accordance with the in
depreciation of the Cincinnati platform, that,
during the existence of the Territorial Govern

may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution
on the power of the Territorial Legislature
