must be a rather humiliating
thought for the publico-abalitionists of the
North to think how small has been the ef
fect which has really followed all their up
roarious hammering upon the institutions
ot slavery, for these many years past. Af
ter the labor and money expended, the bit
ter feeling and discord generated in the
crusade which has so long and so zealously
been urged forward by the -organized and
unorganized abolitionists at the North,
against the South, the institution stands to
day on as firm a footing, exercises as con
trolling an influence in the governmental
policy of the country, and shows as little
indication of yielding to the assaults which
have been against it, as it did before this
noisy crusade began. The enthusiasts are
beginning to sec this fact themselves and to
acknowledge its force. In a speech at the
Tabernacle, in New York, a few days since,
by Wendall Phillips, one of the craziest of
the New England horde of abolitionists, the
speaker thus acknowledges the meagre har
vest which has awarded all their labors in
the great cause:
“ But the question was, what had been
the result of the great grapple with the
Slave Power? Twenty-five years had now
elapsed since this struggle began, and what
were now our prospects ? He came here
to-night to answer this question. Slavery
was a grave question to him. In his youth,
the lecturer thought Slavery was bur to
stand for a few years, but look at it now.—
There it stood: not a battlement gained;
not a stone overturned : hardly a man kill
ed. And we were now placed before it as
vre were twenty-five years ago—if changed
at all it was rather strengthened. Men
claimed that Garrisonians were ranters,
personal and abusive, stirring up public
questions too deeply, hunting individual
reputations, and nut given to acknowledge
success. Some men blamed them for criti
cising the Church, the clergy, the Constitu
tion, and the sacred institutions of the
country. But the wrong was there; the
strength of the enemy was so honestly con
fessed and our weakness admitted.”

territory, publishes in his paper a long ac

topic, which just now absorbs so much at

“The vexed question of slavery will cause

Yesterday morning more than a thousand Genua u
and Irish collected at tho City Hall in d demanded
that the government should begin the work upon
the new building- iu order that they might have
something to do. The fact is that the city is not
ready to build yet and it would be much better to
give a sum of money directly to these needy per
sons than to squander away the amount in cotLirue- I
tion at an unseasonable period of the year, and
that, too, before tile plaits of the buildings have
been determined upon. The suffering among the
newly arrived foreigners in this city will probably,
have the effect to cheek the immigration ot the
poorer classes from the millions of Europe. Here, •

Mr. John L. Dawson’s homestead bill
