Whe Recent Elec in Oh and New Bampshire—Prevalence of Antl.Siavery Bentiment. The abolition whig papers of the North are re- joieing over the electron of Judge Wade, a free soil whig, as United States Senator from Ohio, for six years, and over the whig gain in Congress and in the Legislature by the recent election in New Hampehire, with the indication that a majority of the people of that State are opposed to the Fugitive Slave law. The abolition organ in this city, the Tribune, appears to be excessively delighted at these resul's, and looks upon them as indicatiogs of healthy vigor in the body politic. We take a diflerent view of the results of these elections, and of the indications of the public mind im the North and West, which they exhibit. We can eee nothing in them but the germs of disaster and ruin tothe American republic, the seeds of eivil war, anarchy, and insurrection, among the peo, ple, in the distance. If the whig party of the North identify ixelf with antislavery sentiments, and with opposition to the Fugitive Slave law, a mea- sure which w: t only called for under the cir- cumstances in which the country was placed, but in direct obedience to the constitution, it is easy to perceive that they will go further, end not rest ua- til they will desire to bear down and trample the constitution under feot, in order to reach slavery in the Southern States. Fanaticism is never satisfied uatil it annihilates everything, or is annihilated it- welf. Whenthe New Eoglani abolitionists em- barked in the anti-elavery agitation, they did not dare goto the lengths which now characterize their proceedings; nor diithey aseail the church | and the State, nor tear the Bible and the constitution © pieces beforetheir audiences, as they have done for the last few years. Free soilism is nothing but a shade of the sbolitioniam of the present Garrison school of fenstics, end unless it be checked in sea- | gon, will end in the same way. As long as aboli- tioniem was confined to the New England fanatics, it was perfectiy harmless, end hardly worthy of a thought. The pranks which they commited be- fcre the world were omly matters of amusement to the public, and the ectors were heartily laughed Withia a few years pest, designing and cunning politicians have been laboring to engraft abolitioniem on the at. But the case is far difierent now. whig perty, to make 1t one of the principles of that political organization wuch an extent es to throw the whole country into confusion, to engender hostility between different sections of the republic, end at one time the demon spirit which they aroused paralyzed the goverament ef the country, and was nigh destroying this noble fabric, end with it the hopes of the advo- | cates of free government, throughout the laod Seward, Weed, Greeley and their co-workers, are still laboring in the seme ficld of fanaticism, and under the cloak of humanity and philasthropy, are endeavoring to make wider and deeper the breach new existing between the North and the South, and to pree'pitate on both sections the evils of civil war and bloodshed. They do not now go co far as ‘he Garrisons & do., but almost as far es they did when they firet commenced. Who can tell where they will stop? According to the experience of their predecessors, ond the rules which gaided them, they will, before mony yeare, meet at the same point, and one party will be as Joud as the other in advocating the destruction of the constita- tiep. When they will have gone so far, the ulti mate reeult will not be far off Emtertaiaing theee views, therefore, the spread ef anti-slavery sentiment in certain sections of the United States, as developed by im Obio end New Hampshire, presents a topic of melancholy reflection. |: is neediers to argae that the propegation of thie feeling—the conversion of the whigs into an abolition purty —the success of the unconstitutional and atrocious doctrines enter. Vained and promulgated ea every occasion by Se- e recent elections ward, Weed, and others, of the abolition-whig cliqne m the North, will eventually prodace a Giseolvtion of the Vaion, and entail upon the country all the horrors of ineurrection, servile war, anarchy, and bloodshed. Such a calamity may not occur in fi ten, fi ea, or perhaps twenty teadency of abolitionism, end the slavery sentiment in the North, will, aaeurely asthe wun rives in the east, end in woch a lamentable state of things as we have at- tempted to deectibe, unless it iv checked. The history of every age aad of every country, shows that when the demon of fanaticiern i once let loose, it knows no bounds. ts appetite cannot be eppeaeed; and what it would at first shudder at doing, it will greep at, and will in the end stop at nothing that etande in ite way. [+ligion, covern ment, morslity—every thing will ia turn be attacked and destroyed. Under the name of eocialiom, it is now valermining, in the United States, all that men hold dear. The rise and prog of that destroe- tive iem & a+ curious as it ie alarming.

However, the public will wish to see what Barnum has to say for him- ides p Nh Onteans, March 4, 1861, Gonvow Bexxerr, Mx. Jiditor and Proprietor of the New York Herald. Bin:—I will pay sreward of five thousand dollars to any person who shall prove, by zm, repnontalee witmesses, that I was ever, directly or in \y, in the remotest degree, interested with any person in bidding for. or urchasing tickets at auction for the concerts of Mile. Jenny Lind, as stated by your New Orleans cerres- pondent, in your paper of the 2ist February. I assert positively, this was never the case, but that in the disposition of tickets, om all occasions, either at public or private eale,I have invariably given direc- tions that the strictest impartiality should be main- i ; has always been done. tained with the public, and this has almays been do Now, whoever supposed that Barnum could be found engaged, directly or indirectly, in such busi- negs as he seems to think has been charged upon him? Has he not a character for shrewdness and business tact, and is it to be supposed that he is to be caught in any trick to raise an excitement? By no means. entertainments the least attended; but is that Bar- num’s ault? No! The speculators are the cause, and what have they to do with charity? It freezes their very blood. Besides, even if Barnum had worked up the sales at auction, is it to be supposed that any witnesses could be found to prove it! Are intellgent men go green as to imagine that respec- table witnesees could be obtained in such a case? By no means. All the evidence would be but stool pigeon testimony—not worth a straw, and pocket. For one, et least, we would not accept any such testimony; and therefore we thnk that those who wish to have a chance in this five thou sind dollar lottery, will have hard odds against them. Sul, it may be worth trying for. We shall eee. Meanwhile, we think Barnum is safe; and as he is about to return to us, and in all musical affairs we are fond of harmony, we have thought of a way ot dissolving all discords. The whole busine: rests on a single note. Let Barnum go into Castle Garden, adjure all auctions, which are the nests gates at one dollar; play a generous part towards the public, by admitting visiters at one dollar each; and we will do all that we can to aid him, in every legitimate end proper way. One dollar and no difficulties—Ddllars and difficulties.

The Wabash and Erie canal is now completed be tween Toledo, Obio, and Point Commerce, Indiana, giving a continuous line of canal of 352 miles—aee miles in Indiana and 84 miles in Ohio. Theoontinua- tion ot the line from Point Commerce to Evansville, om. the Obio river, a dietance of 1114 miles, fe all under contract; an effective force of two thousand men has been employed upon it the past season, and its final completion in the fall of 1852 placed beyond a doubt. Thies great work, so soon to be completed, will be 46334. miles in length—the largest work of the kind ever un- dertaken by any State of the American Union; the largest continuous artificial channel of communica. tion on the European or American continents, A Georgia paper accounts for the fact of the increase of the receipts ot the crop of 1850 over that of 1849—the increare being more apparent than real—from the ex- tended use of gunny cloth instead of bagging. In the table ef receipts published, the number and not the weight of the bales is given. The high prices this season re induced many planters to reduce the weight of the bales, to realize ® profit on the bagging ‘She increase nominally, according to the latest re- turns, was equal to one hundred and thirty-two thou sand bales upon the recei of the same period las. year, and, allowing ten per cent to be the average: falling off in the weight of the bales, it will require au increase of reeeipte of 209,600 bales, or 2,309,600 in all, t® make the crop of 1850 equal to that of 1849. ‘ A new colnage law has been adopted by the govern - ment of Chili. Wecopy from the Mercantile Ri porte: the provisions relative to gold and silver: — Article 1. Three classes of gold are to be coined, 0° the standard of nine-tenths fine, to be denominated re spectively:—Condor, doubloon (doblon) and escudo. The condor to weigh three and five 500-1000 grains, and to correspond in value with ten silver dollars. The doubloon to weigh one dred and fitt 770-1000 grains, and to correspond in value wit silver dollars. The ercudo to weigh sixty-one 108 1000 grains, aad. to be of the value of two eliver dollars.

By the new currency bill, the proportion be | tween gold and silver will be as ene to 16-59; conse~ quently the dellar will be exactly equivalent to the five franc piece of France, both in weight, 25 grammes, | and in quality , 0,900. | The annexed table exhibits the aggregate value of Ligu’ ly White, ete, | merchandise exported from thie port duriug the month of February; also the amount of shipments to each country:— Commence or THe Pont or New York—Vatur or Ex ‘The stock market opencd heavy, but improved a lit- | om will open.
