A', a vt ot ornignsm in the Tabernacle some

lingußga to his countrymen:

'Applause.]”
' Tnis doc--, ine of Mr. Boeder, that the truv princi
ples of freedom require men to turn wolves and
prey upon whatever will gratify their appetites,
no mat’er et what c . -t to others, has V.een the
poisoned element in all the so called ”
movement-.’ oi Europe daring the lest half
cel. nry. It he.', of course, been the creed of
rob ers and mieves in a.i ages ; but it body in
recent limes that it has been advanced as a part of
politico-moral philosophy.
In principle, the declars‘ion of Boeder is no
new thing in American politics. The Abolition
ist.-, deciding that property in slaves was robbery,
havolong tc.el upon the suggestion that they had
the wolf’s right t. sciz-, rend and devour both
t-'avc and master. If they now find tho cry nearer
home; if they now hear that property in bouse*,
and funds, and all the comforts of life, is robbery,
they cannot urge that itis not a lair and legitimate
deduction from their teaching. They cannot but
admit th t their (laasanl devices have returned to
plague the inventor.
But there l as been at the North another fruitful
field tor the cultivation of this denial of the rights
of property. The score of projects for the confis
cation of tbo public domain to the uses of a few,
have been advocated on precisely tho same princi
ples as Mr. Ko.der adopts, in advising his audience
to turn wolves, and forage wherever they can find
prey. "When the New York Tribune t>ok up Its
captivating watch word, “Vote yourself a farm,”
it did but aruieiaate the more practical advice of
Mr. Boeder, —“Vote yourself a wolf, and takevour
dinner wherever you can find food 1” The North
it beginning to drain it i own cup; and if it proves
to be poisoned, and the dregs utiexpressibly bitter,
they ~ ay have the consolation of remembering,
th*t wo long ago warned them that such would be
the end of their agitations. —CUarieslon Mercury.
A destructive fire occurred in boa!ii Brooklyn
Tl' .'.r.-c’ay morning. Five stores iu Court street,
owned by Dr. 8. P. Townsend, were mostly con
sumed. Tho fire is supposed to have originated
from a defective stove pipe. Ono of tho fireman
was hurt by lading from a ladder. The name of
th; ui.fortunate man was David Kendall, and his
injury is of the knee. Dr. Townsend’s celebra ed
Panorama of tbo Hudson River which cost $86,000,
fortunately escaped the flames. A youth who was
prote ting tho goods on the sidewalk, received a
violent blow on the head from one or two Irish
men who were in company, and whose object was
plnnd. r. Tho poor boy was rendered almost in
sensible, hut the villains got no other booty than
a shi wl which the littie fellow wore on his shoul
do*s.
A Wise Law.—Tno city council of Montgomery
havo raised the price fir retelling liquors in that
city to five hundred dollars. It also appointed a
committee to procure nn amendment from tho next
Leg lature to the city charter, empowering the
corporation with authority to raise tho license to
three thousand dollars.

Tho ship Tinqua, owned by Messrs. Oliphant &
Bona, New York, and which was on her return
'r fr rn Shanghac, China, with a valuable cargo
ot . as, Ac., struck on 'he outor shoal of Cape
Hu ";ras, during a thick fog on Friday night, 12th
inst.; and after remaining on the shoal a short
time, drifted off. Tbo crew woro saved, by ves
sels that went to their assistance, bound to New
York and Philadelphia. Tho Tiuqua was full of
water when tho crow left-, and the sea was break
ing over her. Vessel and cargo were valued at
$850,000, and woro principally insured iu Wall
stroot, New York.
It appears that tho ltev. John Moore, the Know
Nothing candidate for Governor in New Hamp
sh ro, is inclligiblo, not having resided in that
S ato tho time required by the Constitution—seven
years. Mr. Mooro is a Vermonter.
Another attompt wai made on Friday morning,
in Lsu’eusville, (So. Ca.) to destroy by fire tho
stcro ot Mr. S. Anderson, in which ie tho Pest Of
fice a id tlio printing tllice of tho Laurcnsvill Her
id. This diabolical act cf supposed incendiaries
aga n failed iu the accomplishment of the whole
purp.se, hut succeeded in damaging tho property
to a considerable extent.
The l’etersourg (Va.) Express states that that
city has been startled by the discovery of an ox
teusi vo f rgery. Tho party implicated is Mr. John
W. lliee, formerly of Brunswick, a man who has
heretofore oi joyed the high confidence of the oom
m unity.
Cost cf Biots.—Tho city council of St. Louis
have appropriated $7,700 to pay such of the citizens
m sustained loss of property by tho election riots
in that city in August last. In addition, it will
have to pay about $2,000 to the special police, and
for refreshments, &c.
L'r. Thorudjko, of Bouton, has been on trial,
latoly, iu that city, for, it is alleged, unskillfully
mending a man’s toes which had been damaged
by a broad axo. The jury held him guiltless, how
over.
An important bill to prevent illegal voting in
the city of New York, was introduced by Mr.
Brooks, in tho State Senate, of New York, on
Tuesday.
Tho Explosion of a mountain, leeeutly, in Ar
k- nsus, having attracted muoh attention, a correa
p indent oftho ort Smith Herald says, that about
a year ago ho investigated a similar explosion in
Frank'!a county, Arkansan, and found that it had
not been produced by volcanic action, but by the
decomposition and spontaneous combustion of
-nil huret of iron which abounds in that region.
I>r. Jennings, of New Bedford, Massachusetts,
took a needle from a small bunch on the breast of
a child, which ho found there. Tho needle had
boon swallowed, and for some time had been work
ing its way through tbs fioah, causing great agony
to tho ittle sufferer.
The ore mentioned recently in our paper as be
irg discovered in the Maryland Coal Field, Pa.,

arc inexh .natiblo quantities of it, and it yielda
fifty per cent, of iron. By this disoovery, the

Ellen dvr Swindling.
The New York Times of Saturday, says: For
| some months past, merchants in different sections
of the country have been swindled out of various
small sums of money by s person representing
| h m-oil ss lclanging to a firm engaged in the f< r
wi-ding zi d commission business, both in New
York aud Sm Fraueisco. Tho plan adopted by
th ? expert, was to sand letters to different parties,
informing mem ot the receipt of a box or some
l- i g of the k nd tor them which would be forward

for W. R. Mmot & Co., aud five were delivered to

j va! ey of tho >ii.**i ppi, especially from hrr mid
! die region, Georgia is still capable of great things
if she car. secure the united energies ol her people.
| i had supposed the organization alluded to was
I Jeaigned to accomplish that object in relation to
her agricultural interests; but, after many years
j trial, I am pained to be obliged to say, 1 have seen
no single good that has resnlted from its labors.
Ir I am mistaken in this, I would be most happy
to be eet right by any one of its friends and co
adjutors. If any body, except the hotel keepers
and merobaa’s in those cities—which have been
the best bidders for its annua. Fairs—end pick
pockets at large, have been profited, piesse tell
me who they are, and in what they nave been
profited. 1 have never attended ono of these an
nual gathering*, nor do I expect to do so under
the present state of thing*. If they will call it
“Vanity Fair,” or give it some ether suitable
oognoman, I have no objection to fall into the
throng ani “see the show bat 1 will never, in
the name of my native State, minister to such
mockery. How can the Association expect any
good results, when they hold out inducements to
produce a contrary effect I What right have they
to expect the farm at large will be in a state of
progressive improvement, when they encourage
the owner to piddle all the year with one acre !
Or by what coarse of reasoning do they sa isfy
themselves they will improve the stock pud nouitry
of the State, by inviting the same booted-legged
chickens, and the same fat pig, and Durham bull,
and Devon heifer to take the prize, though they be
the only survivors of their several families, the
rest having fallen martyrs in the scramble to get
them ready I What encouragement do they give
for taming over old land and making manure,
when they employ the available force of each farm
all the fall, in picking off the motes and atoms of
tiashfrom the lint of five or ten bags of cotton?
I only give these as samples cf the whole affair ;
and I ask every candid man in G orgia, whether
iu all this there has been added the first dollar of
permanent wealth to the State; and whether it
should be with pride we point to those and say,
“See the trophies of the combined strength of the
agriculturalists of the EMPIBE STATE OF THE
SOUTH?” Now, Ido not know how much money
is annually expended in the conduct of the “Asso
ciation.” I know that plated cup 3 are getting (to
use a Georgia phrase,) as common as “pigs tracks.”
If the thing goes on they will soon be the most
convenient thing to tie to Trip’s tail to make him
cut up ruatiea to keep the baby quiet. By the
way ; speaking of babies, reminds me that I may
huve done some injustice to the august body whose
acts I have under review. I believe the newspa
pers report that the last gathering was a little va
negated and enriched with a slight dash of the
sweet creatures; and that babies got cupped as
welles Shanghai and Durham. Well, I aru wil
ling to admit that a reasonable crop of the little
darlings are essential to the well-keing of a com
monwealth, but it took the concentrated wisdom
ot a whole State, and she the “Empire,” to dis
oovor it took premiums to bring about that happy
result.
Let no one suppose I am opposed to such an
organization as the ono we have before us—so fur
from it, I am well persuaded that, if Georgia is
ever brought up to the full standard of her agricul
tural greatness, it must bo largely owing to the
associated energies of her people. I do not pre
tend to have fully digested a plan for such an asso
ciation—l would not be so presumptuous as to
claim the ability—but I will present in my next
and last number, some outlines of a plan, in the
hope that it may excite others to tho task, capable
to, full and perfect development.

IL if jin Nxw Yoke.—The Now York correspou
d'cir, of tho Baltimore American, writing under
date 17th inst., says:
Yesterday afternoon, a merchant, doing business
to a largo extent, was waited upon by a young
man, nt his store, who handed him a letter and
immediately left. Not suspecting it contained in
formation oi any considerable importance, he con
tinued filling an order which he bad commenced
when the letter was put into his bands. As soon
as he got through with his business, he went into
bis office and opened the letter, and found it was
from his wife, conveying the intelligence that she
had that afternoon concluded to loavo his house
forever, and that it would be of no uso for him to
attempt to searoh for her, as she could not be
found. It was not long before he ascertained that
his wife had eloped, having left the bonse about 1
o’olook in a carriage with a Mr. William Thorn
toD, of Charleston, S. C. Thornton had been
visiting the house for some time during the ab
sence of the hufbind, who having always lived
pleasantly with his wife, keenly feels the wrong
she has done him. He is one of the oldest provi
sion dealers in the city, as well as one of the wealthi
est, and is determined to make an example of the
parties if it is possible.
Yesterday forenoon, a young man engaged ns
clerk in a provision house in South street, ab

Louisiana. —The Legislature of Louisiana con
vened on Monday. Tho Governor’s message was

ary 1, 1854, of $1,164,791.11, mado a total to meet

950.89. The expenditures for the year were sl,-
849,552.66, leaving a balance at the opening of the
present year of $748,893.74. .
Gov. Herbert feelingly alludes to the death of
Lieut. Gov. Farmer by yellow fever, and favors
quarantine regulations for New Uileans. He re
counts the difficulties which the railroad interests,
in which the State is interested, have met during
the past year; and considering them as cautions
against embarking for the present in any now
schemes, encourages perseverance in those which
havo boon commenced.
The Governor treats at some length upon tho
defects of the public school system, and refers to
the report of the Superintendent, which has not
yot been published, agreeing with all its recom
mendations except that for the establishment of
Normal schools, which is thought inexpedient, in
the present confused state of the schools, and
while the high schools of New Orleans aro nurse
riosfor teachers sufficient to supply tho Slate.
Brazil. —Advices from Bio Janeiro to tho 9th
nit., say that a Brazillian Squadron was under or
ders to sail for Paraguay, to demand immediate
satisfaction for some insult offered to Brazil by
Paraguay. A rumor prevailed that the English
and French representatives at Bio objected to this
movement. Do Longa, Ex-Minister of Foreign
Belations, one of the most distinguished men in
Brazil, was to leave Bio immediately for France,
tho object of his mission not being known, but
rumored to be to demand explanations as to the
into ferenco of Franca iu the quarrel with Para

already under way and piogressing, even under the
discouragements of the present hard times.
The Lake Cmee. — T.-e prodigious growth of
these commercial towns is shown in all the statis
tics relating to them. Chicago, especially, eeetns
like’y to distanos all rivals. Its trade is remarka
bly prosperous. During the year 1854 the receipts
a*, the custom house in that city were $577,160 98,
bsing an increase of $815,876 27, or within a free
tion of one hundred and twenty per cent, over the
receipts of 1858.

Peussian Oveetuees.—Private correspondence,
asys that the Prussian note of December 18 b!
seut to London and Parle, states that Prnssia bos
examined the treaty mado by the envoys in the
three separate coulerenccs on the lG.h. Prussia
sees with satisfaction that the protocols cf Vienna,
and Inc four pom s, are rc-poetod therein, and
Prussia, although sto did not take pari in the ex
change of notes on the Bth of August, gave it her
moral support. Consequently, Prussia is stiff ir:
diplomatic concert wiiti tno Allied Power.-, and
ha? even engaged under certain eventualities, to
military co operation. Pruß'iiii is therefore dis
posed to j Din in now stipulations a 01 pacific
tendency. Prussia adneres to the general scope of
the treaty of Doc. and is wiliii g to conclude
an analogous arrangement, but an c?act and p o
ciso intorpretat on of Lho meaning of the guaran
ties will bo the pivot on which all of Prussia’®
diplomatic measures will turn.
Toe Italian Treaty.—l. is generally stated that
the treaty is actually siguod bet ween Franco and ,
Austria, and it is stated that France guaranties to
Austria the possession of her Italian Provinces.

Money Matters in St. Louis. —The St. Lou s
Republican cf Tuesday says :
We are glad to announce that the panic which
seemed to reigu in our monetary circles at the close
of lost week, has entirely subsided. The prompt
payment of all deposits that were called for at tho
private banking houses auAat the Boatmen’s Sav
ings Institution, and tho generous manner in which
a number of our wealthiest citizeus pledged their
private property to secure tho depositors of these
ir:Biitut ons against all lofcs, restored confidence
entirely; confidence was all that wus wanting
to enable money matters to resume their wonted
co-ise. Although there wore some indications i
ot a “run” yesterday morning, yet they soon
disappeared; and after 12 o’clock we presumo that |
there was more money deposited io the Banking j
Houses than withdrawn from them.
A feeling of rouewed security seems to prevail «
in our community. The crisis of Saturday, t h ough \
it seemed lor a time about to resolvo itselt into a ’
fearful public caiainity, has in ioal-.ty been produc- j
tive of much good. It has developed resources in
Sr. Louis which were before latent.
Tho two houses which suspended on Saturday
will, wo are informed, icsume operations at an early I
dav. Messrs. Loker, Uenwick <ft Co. will probably
resume, iu part, at least, on Mon-lay next. We <
hepe that Messrs. Puge & Bacon, of St. Louis, will i
be able to open their uoorssoon.
Lucas & Simonds. —The ordeal which this house
has just passed through hus only increases public
confidence in their strength and solvency. On
Saturday last so great was the rush to their coun
ters, that they paid out to deposited the large
amount of $260,000. On Monday, however, so
completely was confidence restored that the amount
of money deposited with them exceeded the
amount withdrawn by more than $56,000.
City Panxer3 —As tho card of yesterday, issued
by many ot our responsible citizene, guaranteeing
tho banking houses of the city, omitied several
firms (E. W. Clark & Bros, and Haskell & Co., for
instanoe,) wo deem it proper to slate that the omis
sion was not intended to imply any want of con- ,
fidcnco in the ability of those firms to moot their
liabilities. The course tukeu by the subscribers,
as wo loam, was adopted on the spur of the mo
ment, aud tho omission was accidental. liad eny
evils resulted in consequence of the neglect, the
proper remedy would immediately have been ap
plied. E. W. Clark & Bros, aud Haskell & Co.,
hold enviable positions in this community as
bonkers, and their standing aud credit aro abovo
suspicion.
KnctrroN of Mb. Soule.—Tho New York cor

TnE Lemmon Slave Case.— A dispatch dated Al
buuy, N. Y., Jan 16, says :
In tho Senate to-day, tho resolution from the
Houso authorizing the Governor to employ counsel
to assist the Attorney General in the argument of
the Lcmnaoa case before the Uoited States Court,
came up for consideration. Mr. Brooks preferred
that the Attorney General be authorizrd to-employ
assistant counsel if he dosired, and that the selec
tion should be left with him. Two or three upeeo'u
es were made; and all the Senators contended that
tho jaduro who liberated tho Lammon per
formed no moro than his duty to the laws ot the
Stale. A majority, however, preferred tho reso
lution as it stood, giving tho Governor inst;ivi cf
the Attorney Genoral tho selection of such ofcdoci

llon. John Y. Mason.—Tho rumor that this gen
tleman, our present Minister at Paris had died
from paralysis previous to the departure of the lust
Liverpool steamer is premature, though there is
much grouud to four such a result. The Washing
ton Union of Sunday says:
“Letters havo beon received in this city by the
lastste: mer from Europe which justify serious ap
prehensions in regard to the health of Hod. John
Y. Mason, our Minister to France. Mr. M. was
struck with paralysis on the 28th ult., and, accord
ing to the last accounts from Paris—two day- after
tho attack—his situation was such as to excite the
deepest Eolicitudo on the part of his friends. As
he is attended by sovoral of the most eminent phy
sicians in Paris, his situation, although highly
critical, is not such rs to preclude all hope.”
Tho Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune
gives some particulars cf Mr. Mason’s illness:
“I regret to stato that Judge Mason, our Minis
ter to Paris, wus seized with apoplexy on Monday
last, at 12 o’clock at night, and that he is at this
moment, although slightly improved, pronounced
to bo in a critical position by his physicians. Mr.
Mason attended with the Diplomatic corps on Mon
day a; the opening of the Senate and Corps L-gis
latif, at the Tuilleries, and was at tho n ornent of
jetiring to rest in his usual state cf health. Ho
has recently bad a good deal of labor to perform,
and it is to tho fatigue consequent upon these la
bors that the attack is attributed by his family.—
Ho has remained completely insensible since the
moment of tho attack, with tho exception of a sow
lucid intervals during the afternoon of to-day.”
Extln ivie Emigration Scheme. —We have in
formatr n from a quarter whence the truth may be
expected to proceed, that it is in contemplation to
establish emigration societ'es on a very extended
scale, iu the large cities aud towns of this common
wealth, among the foreign population, for the pur
pose of mutually aiding each other to emigrate to
Canada or tho great West, as the parties may
themselves dcoide. Iu this manner it is contem
plated to reduco the number of the Roman Catho
lic residents at least one half, within a brief space
of lime ; and the design of course, will first move
the most useful among that portion of our popula
tion. Y/e have no direct information of aiy pub
lic steps having been taken to consummate the
scheme; but tho principles on which it is to bo
carried out are being discussed, and the project
wiil probably bo perfected. —Boston Journal .

“Mr. Sickles, it is said, resigns the London Se
cretaryship of Legation on compulsion.”

Sickles dees Dot resign his Secretaryship on com
pulsion. Ho is on the very best terms with Mr.
Buchanan and tho Administration. Will the
American make tho correction I— Washington St>ir.
We give place to the Star’s paragraph, but as to
making any correction that is another matter. The
original statement was mado on the authority ot
the Washington correspondent of the Now York
Times, who is quite as correct, and generally far
more knowing as to Washington affairs, thou th#
Bar itself. It certainly will ho to the credit of the
Administration if the fact is os stated.—Baltimore

Weather, River, Cottcn, &o.—The weather tte
past week has been very pleasant; nights coc! and
days comfortably warm. We have had no rain vet
n :r is there any appearanoe of having any for some
time. This cause of course keeps the river very
low, rendering it impossible to ship Cotton, except
in very small lots. The stock of Cotton in our
Warehouses is large. Could it begot ofl to market
it W3u!d materially assist in easing the “tightness”
which :s fti: in Lhtjbuslness of lie place. We hope .
ere long the “good time coming” will get here. I

The Nitssau Guardian of t ho 57th ult. Bays:
The schooner “Albatros,” of Kingston, Jamaica,
Cupt. Viguers, from Kingston, sailed on the 29 h
Oct., for New York, with pimento, c ffco, rum,
hides, copper and specie. She had aho nine pas*
eager?, gontlem n and ladies. Astra tempawtu

Highlands, she experienced n sovero hurricane
from W. N. W., loi.t all hor soil?, and tho vessel
was driven on her beams eud2, in which state she
lay four hours. Tbo captain, mate and crow find
ing it impoFsiblo to save therosolve*, wore lishod
to the rails, whero they remained for three days,
tho boh g fastened down below. The
vessel was then got boforo the wind, when tho
weather m deruted down to a heavy galo, which
lasted seven days. Tho prssengers a'l this time

The fourth night tho vessel was going down by

was found necessary to remove her by force. She

The barque supplied tho Albatros with provi- -

They then repaired their sails, aud tried inrffactu- |

miles of that city, tho vessel encountered a severe (
galo from the westward, which struck her abaft, j
tore tho sails, broke tho bowsprit and fore-boom, ‘
and blew her so far out of her course, that, as a y
lost resort, Captain Figuers resolved upon coming
to Nassau. She received assistance from a wreck
ing vessel, and arrived here on Suuday last.
“Tho same captain was wrecked on theso shores (
about four years ago in tho brig Erie, wfceu ho was (

but were not allowed to go on board. After the
gale abated, jury masts were riggod, and the Elias a

Extraordinary Scenes in New Vork.— Kevor
was such a slate ot thing; vsitneesfd in tbo city
of New York as r.t this time. A gontleman of
It chmond who has just returned from tiio great
metropolis of tho Empire St r .te, says that tho vast
multitndo of unemployed workmen and laborers
of that city, stimulated by tho agrarian doctrines
which their orators propound, aro holding the
whole population of New York, who povaoss any
thing, in absolute fear and road of them. Many
of the wealthy people aro in such terror of an at
tack, that they employ guards in thoir hoanos to
protect them and their property in cose of an
outbreak. Mury of the largo stores (we suppose
the provision store?) are guarded in like manner.
Other and extraordinary means are adopted to
cone Hate the excited and ombitteied multitude.
Several gent omen of wealth, among them Stuart
of tho Marble Palace, und a German gentleman,
Mr. Lindenmulier, havo each established private
soup houses, to s op tee fierce aud hungry months
which are clamoring on every side. It is said
that Stuart supplies food to a3 many ns a hundred
persons a day. Tbo rich of New York are con
tributing freely, and money, they say, flows like
water. Go into close and hard-hearted Wall
street, and esk lor money for the poor, and the
strongbox opens as if by m:gie, ard outcomes
the gold with a perfect rush. But tho dispensa
tion of bounty in New York, as in Franco in tho
reign of Louis XVL, ouly increases the number
of applicants. There, as in Paris, tlio famished
crowd ot tho city is increased by additions from
the province?, and tho poor and indolent of other
C'ties aro hurrying tc Now York to join tho mul
titude which i 3 fed there without labor.
It is said that such opportunities of employment
aa aro presented are not cmbruced by tho, o men.
An instance is mentioned where five I undrod men
were offered work at u distance of sixty miles
from Now York, at a dolhir and a half a day, and
no one accepted the effer. Tho determination
seem? ob) that they will make the rich men sup
port them.
Our informant witnessed some demonstrations
of this Red Republican spirit. Frequently little
crowds of tho unemployed gather at some point
in tho streets and aie addressed by one of their
orators. Our friend was l inking at one of these
crowds when a gontlcm n drove by in a splendid
equippago, who had formerly been a hatter and
had retired from busine r. The orator immediate
ly called attention to this person : “Look at that
hatter,” ho said: “lie lies grown rich, not on his
own labor, but on tho d&ily labor of you, journey
men hatters; and, whilst you havo made his for
tune, yon are poor ann in want of bread, and he is
living in case, riding along in hisr plendid carriage
and don’t care a d—a for yen.” Then lio p Anted
tho crowd to a splendid brown free stone hou£e,
“Look at that brown stone house,” ho exclaimed;
“tho man who lives in it never worked a day in his
life. Yon built it for him, and ho is rolling in
luxury in it, whilst y ou, who built it for him, aro
in poverty and waul.” Such are the doctrines
which are daily sounded in a hundred thousand
oars ia tho oity of New York.
One orator boldly proclaimed that the properly
of tho community ought to bo taken end equally
divided among tho pcop'o. The next day an Irish
triond of tho orator mot him and congratulated
him upon his spa.ch. “Ah,”saysPa, “andthat
was tho true doctrine yo gave ns last nisrht.”
“Bui, Pat,” raid the orator, ‘‘since I have reflected
more on the subject, I think perhaps I went too
far. For if the property was equally distributed,
there aro lf-zy people, who would not work, and
who would spend thoir money f oUshiy, an bo
tweon tho indolence of some, the folly of others,
and tho overreaching of rascals, things would soon
get back to their present situation. And what
would we do then I” “Make another distribu
tion,” shouted Pat with an oath.
What makes the rnauter worse in New York is,
that the largi charities which are now given to
propitiate tho multitude , will soon come to bo
considered as a right, i o that if they should be
withheld cr even diminished, there wiil be danger
of a riot.
The people ot New York may thunk the Red
Republicans and some native demagogues, and
fanatics, among them the N. Y. Tribune, tor the
present state of things. We trust it will open
their ejes to tho fact that their boasted free sys
tem is r.ot without its evils, nor slave institutions
Without their advantages.— liich rend Dispatch.
“We Want Work.” —There Is an anomalous
slate of affairs in this city as concerns a Urge body
of the working clashes, i’hey organize themselves
into public meetings, and m&ko Lffocting displays
of their poverty in long processions, representing
that neither work nor money can ho had, and
intimating that nothing -hort of the contents of the
provision stores and a division among them
of the public property, can effectually rel eva their
distresses. At the same lime, tho piers surround
ing the ei f y are without laborers, and merchants
: d ein their 6tores, vainly offering one dollar and
a half a day for the service- of tbo most ordinary
workmen. Yesterday, a la:go merchant, aware
that a meeting of laborers was obe held, instructed
a person to at‘.end the same, and announce that 509
men were wanted, a*. $1.50 cents per day. As none
afterwards preset ted themselves lor ernpl yment,
it is presumed they were too bu-y holding meetings,
and inakingsrecches, to attend toany ac-ul work.
