The present is a moment vhen we stand almost, as it were, on the brink of a distolution of the Union—a separation of these Stater—and, perhaps, a long and bloody civil war. What has bronght about this awful state of things? Whet has excited the South almost toa pitch of mednees 1 We answer, in the main, the action of these very societies. They gather in New York the first ond second weeks in May, to compare | notes, hold meetings, and raiee money. They are all of one side of thinking in regard to slavery. There is no opposition, When they meet, they have their own way, end no cheek. They come from all seetions, very much excited about the institution of slavery in the Sovth, and the wrongs of their colored brethren and sisters, They mix with them, eat, drink, pray, preach, sing, and, by the time the week is over, they are ready to go home to their various sections, raving, stark, staring mad on the topic, end disseminate their outrageous and false sentiments all through the length and breadth of the free States. The South hear of there ravings, and funey the whole North are en- gaged in them, instead of these few miserable fanatics. ‘This slavery question will not only shake the polities! elements of our Union to its fall, but if so, the Protestant Chureh of Christ, in this coun- try, will be engulphed in its ruins. The church of St. Paul and St. Peter—the holy Catholic Churech— is governed by furseeing men, and this church re- .fuses to mix or meddle with the institution, and, in consequence, is spreading in the South, and all over the land. The Methodist Church in the South will net have anything to do with their brethren in the North; and the detestation of the Preebyterian is becoming as universal in the South hatred to an abolitionist, for the name is but the me thing. The Presbyterian, as a church, is the fountain head of abolitionism, and the day is not far distant when a Presbyterian minister in communion with the North, will have to run for ‘The merchants, men of business, and men of ‘What business have all the religious luna- ties of the free States to gather in this commercial city for purposes, which, if carried into effect,would ruin and destroy its prosperity? Will the men of sense allow meetings to be held in this city, which are calculated to make our country the arena of bloed and murder, and render our city an object of horror to the whole South?

New Orleans, is awaking from her supine- ness. and having conceived the idea of a steam marine ersentially her own, has sent to this city for two splendid steam ships, such as our builders know #0 well how to build. To particulariae, we would observe that Mesers. Harris & Morgan, citizens of New Orleans, have made contracts for two steam shi each. to be finished up in the most approved style, with diagonal iron braces, and wheel guards on upper deck ; to be employed between New Orleans and some port in the Gulf. It isthe intention of the butlders, Merers, Westervelt & Mackay and Wm. Colyer, that these ships shall be unsurpassed by any steamers now afloat. The engines will be constructed at the Mor- gan Works. Dry Dock; and it is only necessary to say, that under the able superintendence of Mr. Arch’d.
