Who can estimate the conse- | quences that must follow the annihilation of the cotton | crop of the slave-holding states ?- I-.do not undervalue the importance of other articles of commerce, but no ca- lamity could befal the world at all comparable to the snd- | den loss of two millions ot -bales of cotton annually.— | From the desexts of Africa to the Sijerian wilds—from Greenland to the Chinese wall—the «is nota spot of earth bat would feet the'sensation. ‘ihe factortes of Europe would: fall. with « concussion that would shake ‘down castles, palaces, and even thrones; while the | “purse-proud elbowing Insolence” of our northern me | nopolists would disappear forever, under the smo: | speech of the pedlar, scouring our frontiers for a liv | hood, or the bluff vulgarity of the South Sea ‘whaler, following the: harpoon: amiql- storms and shoals. Doubi- less the abolitionists think we could grow cotton with- | ont slaves, or that ‘at worst the redtiction of the crop | would be tnoderate-‘and temporary. ‘Such gross delusions | show how profoyndly, ignorant they are of ourcondition ere. » * ‘ * * ¥ | But perhaps. the most extraordinary part of your let- fer is your bold denunciation of * the shameful compro- mises* of our'Constitution, and your earnest recommen- dation to those you address to overthrow or revolution- | ize it. In so many words you say to them, “ you must | either separate yoursélve: Rom all political connection | with-the south, and make your own laws; or if youdo not choose such a separation, you must break up the po- litical as¢endancy which the southern have had fora | long'time over the northern States.” It is well for thave who circulate your letter here, that the Constitution you | denounce requifes an overt act to constitute treason. it nmy be tolerated for an American. by birth to use on his own soil the freedom of speaking and writing which | is guaranteed to him, aid abuse our Constitution, our | Union, and our people. ‘But that a foreigner should use such seditious language, in acircular letter addressed toaportion of the American people, is a presumption well caictlated to excite the indignation-of all.. The patty known. in this country as the Aboiition party, has | ong since avowed the sentiments you express, and adopted the yolicy you enjoin. At the recent Presiden- | tial election they ‘gave over 62,000 votes for their own | candidate, and held the balance of power in two of the largest States—wanting but little of deing it in several | others. In the last four years their vote has qua- drupled. Should the infatuation continue, and their vote increase inthe same ratio in the next four yeers, | it will be “as large as the vote of the actual slaveholders of the Union. Such a prospect is doubtless extremely | gratifying to you. it gives a hope ofa contest on such | terms ay may ensure the downfall of slavery or our Con- | stitution, The South venerates the Constitution, and prepared to stand by it forever, such as it came from the jands of our fathers; to risk every thing to defend end | maintain it in its integrity.. But the South is under no such delusion as to believe that it derives any peculiar protection from the Union. On the contrary, it is well known. we incur peculiar danger, and that we bear far more than our proportion of the burdens, The appre. hension is also fast fading away, that any of the dreadful | consequences commonly predicted, will necessarily re- sult from a separation of the States. And come what may, We are firmly resolved that our system of domestic slavery shall stand. e fate of the Union, then—but | thank God, not of Republican Government—rests mainly |i the hands of the people to whom your letter is ud { } dressed, ‘the * professing Christians of the Northern States having no concern with slave-holding,” and whom with incendiary zeal you are endeavoring to stir up }'to strife—withont which fanaticism can neither live, | move, nor-have any being, {Destructive Fre i Rocnesrer.—While other | cities ofthe Union were being visited with disas- | trous fires, we were congratulating ourselves that we had escaped, but the destroyer has also visited us. Be. | tween nine and ten o'clock Jast evening, a fire broke out inthe cabinet shop of Robert Bell, on the east side ot | Front street, which has proved more disastrous in its ra | vages than any we have had forseveral years. By 1 most unfortunate calculation of the officers of the Fire Department, 4 or 5 of our fire companies were at Carthage awaiting the artival of a fire company from nto.— |The wind was blowing from the northwest, | flames exte: ‘ed to about the centre of Charles H. € { rol’s block on the east sideof Front ftreet.

Frou: street seven brick stores and a wood block j belonging to William Simpson were destroyed : on Works street two wood dwelling houses and a black- smith shop belonging to William Simpson were also con- sumed. Having preceeded thus far the flames were checked almost as it were by miracle. At one time it | was thought that the. entire square to Buffalo and State streets would be consumed, and also that the fire would extend to buildings onthe River bridge. But a change in the wind tothe south, the arrival of some ot the fire- , men from Carthage, and the hydraulions of Messrs. Graves, Jennings and Keeler; prevented it.
