New York, Saturday, December 1, 18 Arrival of the Canada at this Port, "The steamship Canada arrived at her wharf, m Jersey City, between one and two o'clock, this morning. Her news will be found on our first page. biti Important from ment on the Si: The public journals, for some weeks past, have been daily edified by the Washington letter writers, upon the various plans and expedients ef the politicians of the South, to resist the designs ot the free-soilers. Of al! these expedients, the most prominent one, and the most generally discussed, is secession. It has been stated, that the members from seven States are all ready, on the enactment of the Wilmot pro- viso, tor California or New Mexico, or on the pass- age of a bill abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia, to withdraw from Congress, declare their States to be out of the copartnership, and the Union dissolved. It is absurd to disguise the fact, that disunion has taken hold upon the public miad of the South. Asa measure of policy, to a great extent, it 1s look- ed upon as a good to be desired, and not as an evil to be avoided. The introduction and rapid in- erease of manufactures in the South, will soon render them completely independent of the North. Until very recently, they have been almogt entirely supplied by the Northern States with their coarse woolle worsteds, cottons, household furniture, farming implements, iren manufactures, and al- most everything else, the planters scarcely manu- facturing the simplest fabrics, machinery, or im- plements of any kind. But within the last two Yeare, @ great revolution has been eflected. Manu- factures of all kinds have sprung up all over the South, and Georgia is probably at this moment se- cond only to Massachusetts in her cotton mills. In avery short time the Southern markets of New England manufactures will be supplied at home, and the South will be completely independent of the North for a cotton market. This is a revolu- tion; and the immense capital which has annually eome to the North, in the way of trade, in being kept at the South, will reverse to a great extent the relative prosperity of the two sections. But the basis of the prosperity ot the South is in her cotton culture. It is the staple article at once for ber manufactures aod her fereign trade. Break up her system of domestic slavery, and the cotton eulture of the South is prostrated—her credit, her enterprise, and everything else. Such is the prac- tical view of the case; and in this light, at is hardly a matter of wonder that the South should regard disunion as decidedly preferable to the Union and the schemes of the abolitionists. Besides, it has been a standing com- plaint of the South, that they, under the tariff laws, have had to pay the weight of the taxes forthe support of the governmeat. They believe that a Separate government would relieve them of the burden of this taxation. The cry of dissolution, therefore, does not rest upon the mere ebstraction of the Wilmet proviso. lt has become a question ef profit and loss; and when dollars and cente enter mito the national dispute, there is reason to suppose that it is not a humbug. ‘The South are, then, in earnest. This question is something more than a bag of wind. The South are dependent upon their system of domestic slave- ry. They see itis in danger. To save it, they may probably, as a last resort, cut loose from the Union ; bat we do not apprehend that that will be the firet step. The letter from our Washington correapond- ent, which we publish to-day, foreshadows another expedient—the resignation and withdrawal Southern Senators and members from the capitol, on the passage of the proviso ; the breaking up Congress, and an appeal cirectly back to the people Bpon this exciting questien. Such a course would doubiless create an immense panic all over the country ; but it might have the effect of working | out come compromise, which would for ever settle | this vexed and perplexing dispute, and restore the harmony of the Union. With regard to the porition of Gen. Cass, it 19 peculiar and yet strictly consistent. The action of the people of California upon the slavery question, tallies with the Nicholson letter. He must, there- fore, vote for the admission of California as she stande. Southern members have indicated a mere extreme policy. The boundary goes below 36 deg. 30 min., down to 82 deg. They may consider it as @ violation of the Missouri compromise, and resign if the bill is passed. Bat in the event of a ternto- rial government for New Mexico, including the proviso, Gen. Case will be compelled to take the | same course, as well as Mr. Dickinson, and every other Senator holding to the doctrine of the Nichol- son letter, which declares that Congress has no power over the question of slavery in the territo- rier. The ramor of this movement is more plausible than that of secession. The latter expedient could only result in civil war; the other would hardly fail of eflecting some satisfactory arrangement, by a direct appeal to the people. From the present complexion of things, one or the other would seem to be us inevitable as the meeting of Congress. Let ‘us hope for the best Tar Prainriztp Fixaxcimns on Gamnuina.— | sone of Moses Y. Beach have been | ‘The promiex tegelmg their readers with a lecture on gambling, upon the following text: — Wt shall be. ‘Those things, mmaeinae = hewn Thee the Plainfield financiers, when they had got outa kerge amount ef their shinplasters into the hende of the widows and orphans, were at loss whet todo. They said, therefore, let us shut tp thop, and pockes the funds; and these things, therefore, they did; aod now they are engaged in a lend epeculation, on Leng Island, for the benefit ofthe poor, Oh, Moses! of | Tus Invictwent at Morristowx—Busp_e Bawxs, urc.—We give additional information, elsewhere in our columns, relative to the late Stete Bank of New Jersey, located at Morristown, contained in a letter from E. T. Thompson, the late acting Cashier of that concern; also an ex- tract from the Morristown Banner, confirming the indictment and arrest of L. Norton, the President, and stating that his trial, for perjury, will take place on the 17th of this month. A singular coin- cidence is, that the trial of his son, Wm. Norton, a lawyer of this city, indicted for libel, is set down, much about the same time, in our criminal courts. Thus, while the elder Norton has been contributing his talents towards the currency of the country, the younger Norton, his sop, has been a contributor to its literature. ‘We much fear that the Susquehanneh Bank at Montrose, and the State Bank at Merristowa, are not the only concerns that have play ed pranks apon thecommunity. We hear of mavy other banksiaa similar condition, and manage@ by similar finan- ciers. There are, also, whole batches of insurance companies, among whose lists uf directors we find the same L. Norton, end some of his associates. In looking over the prospectuses and cards of the following companies, whose agencies are at 72 Wall street, the same Lambert Norton, indicted and imprisoned in New Jersey, is recorded at full length, as one of the wise men of the directors. ‘The tollowing is a list of such companies :— New Exoranp Live Stock Insunaxce Company, New Havex.—Agency 72 Wall street. Protection Insuance Company ov Somenviite, N. J. — Agency 72 Wall street Stare Banx at Monnis,N.J.—Agency 72 Wall etreet, Of theee insurance companies little is known, except that they are ready to receive premiums from all whe will pay, but by no means so ready to pay up their losses with promptitude and de- spatch. The fact that L. Norton has been a direce tor there is not positively wrong—but it may rea- sonably excite suspicion, when we see how some of the same men are connected with the recent banks in Morristown and Montrose. Nor- ton has been indicted swearing to the existence of veritable assets in the State Bank, when no such assets existed. We should hke to know what is the character of the assets of these insurance companies, and shall give directions to our agent, at Albany, to procure an attested copy from the Comptroller’s office at Al- bany. The public ought to know. When the trial of Norton, at Morristown, comes up, on the 17th inst., we shall send a reporter there. | Some farther curious disclosures of the system by which the community is cheated may then be ex- pected—disclosures throwing light on other con- | cerns, that yet possess some confidence with the public, that they do not merit. Thus far, the crimi- nal authorities of New Jersey deserve much credit for their promptitude to protect the public interests, and to punish some of these unprincipled financiers. In the flagrant swindle of the Plainfield Bank, they were out-witted and out-generalled; but they seem resolved, of late, to make up for lost time, and particularly so in their proceedings on the State Bank explosion. Let justice be done, though the blue sky should cave in. Our Forsign Poricy—Massa Greeiey Comine Rounp.—The principal matter in dispute between the New York Herald and the cabinet, has been, and continues to be, Mr. Clayton’s weak and equi” vocating policy of neutrality. We firat detected this temporizing with monarchy, in the case of the German war steamer, in which an old musty law was trumped up and put in requisition, to the scan- dal of our republican institutions. The Caba but siness—the pretended sympathy with Hungary, fol- lowed up by the outrage of a complimentary mis- sion to Austria—the course of Mr. Clayton in the Cuba business, and in the Poussin flare-up—are all so many pieces of his miserable policy of truck- ling to the despois, as if friendship with them was to be secured, if necessary, even by our own degra- dation. The organs of Mr. Clayton have been very active in denouncing the invasion and mili- tary occupation of Rome by the French; but has Mr. Clayton protested against it, or against the beastly barbanties of Haynaut or said a word in favor of the Ilungarian refugees? Not a protest— not one word. Massa Greeley, however, begins to understand the true policy. Let him drive it home to the cabinet. The policy of fifty years ago—of | neutrality on any terms—will not apply to the pre- sent day. We have waked up one sleepy subject to the fact, and we shall try to wake up the cabinet, before we have done. The position of our govera- ment and country requires a bold, manly, aad ea. ergetic foreign policy. We were weak fifty years ago; now we are strong. Our example has raised up republican sentiments and revolutions all over the world; and consistency demands that, if we take any side, we ehould fling the weight of our influ- ence in support of republican principles. We must go forward, and not backward. The weak, timid, and old womanish policy of the cabinet must be abandoned. We must have achange. That’s all. Massa Greeley is coming over to our side, and be- fore the winter is over, if he only sticks to us, we shall show him still more wonderful things.
