; N. Sanders on Red Republicanism tn Barope and Black Republicans in Ame~ riea—Pleree and Reeder, Cuba, Kossuth, Rollin and the Cincinnati Convention, all atonce. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Naw Yor«, August 25, 1855. The battle of the pught at Sebastopol, in which civilization, commercial dom anc republican liberty have but am adjourned terest. There could not have been selected a better ot toexpore to America the limit of the power of all monarchies engaged and to assure ua of the little we ve to fear from any or all of them combined. And ¢ Cxars and Emperors have it in their power to make -demons of their subject it is good for the world hat the ‘Hell of battle” should devour them--that he Russian hordes who threw themselves upon citizen soldiers of Hungary, and the fratri- dal fiends who murdered their owa compatriots, omen, children and old men in the streets of ‘aris and throughout all France, should be engaged in bos mighty massacre of each other. By the time the plood-hound million shall have been slaughtered, the d republican representatives throughout Europe will have matured action. The telegraphic lightning that ka on Europe the otherthrow of Louis Napoleon, wil rt the revolution at Vienna, Berlin, Naples, Rome and In view of the vibrations that already notify us bf the rousing of that great leviathan on which thrones re net——the people---it is well to look to the opinions of active managers of the now well organized Red Re- publican movement in Europe, in matters affecting our pwn interests. Of one great point we are happily cer- ny change will do us no harm—amost of the ex- ting governments of Europe being intensely hostile. ‘This country never had a more malignant foe than the Dutch Frenchman, Louis Napoleon, And the English overnment, civil only from prudence, never fails, on apprehension of revolutionary action in Europe, to use its machinery to foment sectional agi- Hation in this country. ‘To set the Yankees by the .” 80 a8 to keep their thoughts and sympathies away fromthe European people, is a favorite stratagem of the B Cabinet. ie uniform courtesy that has been shown by the Hu- HaatD, to such articles as I have from time to time desired to bring before the American and European public, leads Ime to the belief that you will not be unwilling to see the lgellant and long enduring representatives of “red” re- Ipublicaniam in the light in which I have it in my power to present them. The noble but too poetic mercy of the “reds” of 748, bas shown how little deserving they were of the eplthet ‘red’ in the sense in which it was intended by their enemies; though they have since deflantly retained it, wehaughtily called ourselves “rebels” in our ‘red’? struggle with the lion of Great Britain, “Our flag is red,” say they, ‘ with the blood of our patriot martyrs ! It is the handkerchief which has wiped the bloody sweat {frem their tortured brows.’ The rea republicans of Europe, although opposed to wery under their own jurisdiction, and not the advo- cates of it anywhere, are nevertheless not intervening \volitionists of the black republican American school. A red republican in America, desirous of American sympathy and national support of European republican- iam, must of necessity be wholly national, Neither the North, the South, the East nor the West, can fractional- iy advance those interests, mighty in their present and future bearing upon the world. The whole great Union must move forward in the harmonious action of all its members under our divinely balanced constitution. An Irish, German, French, Italian, Hungarian or Polish American, in becoming an abolitionist renounces every species of aid from the federal government towards the Mberty of his fatherland, For it is not possible that America can turn to the sympathetic and active consid- eration of iuropean interests, xo long as the agitation of the negro question wears an aspect go threatening to her own internal quiet. A red republican, to decide that ‘this count#y can do nothing towards the liberation of Eu- Tope until the abolition of slavery be consummated, gives ‘us exclusive home oecupation fora century tocome. Or, if Janything more sudden should, by some dread frenzy be preetpitated upon us, we shall find ourselves in the vor- tex of civil war, out of which wo can come only disor- ganized fragments, powerless for good to ourselves or others. Either way, America would be lost to Europe, griatly to the delight of all the enemies of republican Liberty. It is only neceasary to quote largely from the republi- cans to show them thoroughly Jeffersonian and State rights in their views on American questions. I select » few paragraphs from Kossuth’s speech at Harrisburg, de- Uvered soon after his arrival in America :— 1 hope to God that the people of this glorious land is, and wil er be fervently attached to this, their free, it happy home. I hope to God, that whatever Seague they apesk, they are, American and nothing but and ever be American, And 40 jaf must be if they will be free—if they desire ir adopted home's greatness and continued existence. Should once the citizens of the United States cease to be Americans, and, become again ‘on, Irish, Ger- Spanish, Italian, Danish, S mal ih, French, America pc) over p wpe itis oe — to the prow of a power on earth. t all the of the United States will ee Pee anything but Americans; and even its adopted sons, though frean with sweet home Reeallgetions, will know here no South, no North, no Kast, no West—no- thing but the whole country, the common nationality of jom—in a word, America. ‘This declaration of principles, met anit was entitled to, & generous response from the national men of the country. Now, not only sould every rod republican take this enlarged view of the working of our system, and regard the California, Kansas and Nebraska acts asa final settle- ment of the perplexing negro question—but so should every man of sense. For it is by its continued agitation that three-fourths of the fools in office, North and South, keep their places. ‘The text with the democracy is only to be “sound,'? and with the black ublicans not to be a ‘dor face,’ ond not whether a man has brains ani in- ity. Some big blockhead gets on the Southern dele- gation, and because he is true to the South on the negro uestion, he is fastened 7 tr — her Tepeopeans eee is entire stock in trade being, that the South will be ruined unless she sustains her faithful representatives. And thus he is sustained, although his rival may be of the seme party, equally hs sound, and have five times the ability. Andon the other hand, ‘it was only necessary for the muddiest dolt in the last Congress to vote against Kansas, to ensure, if not a re-election, at least the sup- port ofa powerful Northern party. So, also, this wable administration expects the South to for- e its otandonment of Cuba, and generously ite lease for four years, because it aduniniaters the Pugi- tive Slave law, If anything were required to show the madness and folly of federal government interference in the iocal affairs of a Territory, we have had it well nigh tragically exhibited in Kansa*. Governor Reeder, encouraged ani sustained by all the power and patronags of the federal government, with the additional aid of the Northern Fini gration Societies, succeeded under the guise of friendship and impartiality towards the South in obtaining very moderate results for free sofliss. Open defiant partizan: ship on the part of the federal authorities under Chase, a8 President, and Black Douglass, as Governor of Kansas, would have obtained much less. The Northern Aid So- cleties could not have asked better assistance than the masked co-operation of Pierce and Reeder, Yet, the ox- trich-like discretion, which marks the dip administration, betrayed the scheme. New tation and federal intermeddling caused Picrce Reeder to be absolutely kicked out of the Territory, If we bad hod » Southern President and a Southern Go- vernor, and no antagonistic collision to rouse a bitter acctional spirit of deflance among the settlers, it is doubt- ful if Kansas would not have been a free State. Men of cool observation know that popular sovereignty will as- sert itseit agninst all official or foreign intermeddling. ‘The natural inclination of the proud Western pioneer i+ to resint every attempt to force him, even to the extent of going exactly opposite to his first intention.

I give here some extracts from a correspondence on the peculiar aspect of African bondage in our country, which took place in London, June, 1861, and which was shown to all the leading ‘‘reds’’ in the metropolis at that time, meeting their warm approval.

But the whole history of the United States, as a govern- ment audas a people, shows that they have practically done more than any other nation for the advancement of the African race. And that in taking the lead of every go- vernment in the abolition of the slave trade, which waa continued many years after by the British government; “In the condition of the negroes in the Southern states, who are not. as in Italy, Hungary, France and Poland—a refined and civilized le—abased snd crushed by the tyranny of their rulers, bpt a benighted race, adi , under the care of their American masters, from the bar- — noma - Sait sell each other into ee for a few trinkets, toa respectable grade of civ! tion and Christianity; the Tible proof of which shown in the prosperity and government of the American negro Republic of Liberia, whose respectable President is @ manumitted American slave, from the Southern State of Virginia; “In the establishment of this Americo-African colony, by the purchase of several hundred miles of slave coast, and the appropriation, by State legislation and individual donation, of hundreds of thousands of doliars for the comfortable ps and prosperous establishment of the American blacks, the most generous, the most disinter- ested act of benevolence ever shown by one people, great and powerful, to another inferior ood oek— hrough which gleams, for all known ages, the first light which has beamed upon Ethiopia—a benevolence in which the Southern State governments and Southern masters have been the leaders and munificent patrons; ‘In that the United States is the only country on earth where white men women are really free, and where even the soldier and sailor in service are not under the degradation of the lash; “Lastly, in the herole, republican act of the chivalrous Ingraham) a citizen of ‘a Southern State, who struck a blow for free citizenship, which resounded under every throne in + “In all these instances they must recognise n national character, to which can safely be trusted all questions of its own internal policy, with the certainty of a solution honorable to America, to Christianity and to mankind. “They know that strife and ill blood between the North- ern and Southern people of the United States are music and luxury to the enemies of democracy, now enthroned on the necks of the people of the European continent, and must fecl that at this moment, critical of the fate of millions on millions of the finest races on earth, struggling for the sway of mind over force, of free thought over brute obedience, it is most urgently im- portant that their only unskackled friends on earth—the ple of the United States—should harmonize all differ- ences, 80 that they may present to Europe an_ unbroken front, and give vigor to the movement having for its aim that the virtue and intellect of Europe sgall guide its destinies, “Zatistied as Lam that the republicans of Europe, cause of thelr appreciation of the constitution of the United States, and of their joy in the onward and expan- sive career of our country and people, offer the only element of power that would be faithful to America, in the event of the United States becoming involved in a war with any European monarchy, I am anxious that no misrepresentations, designed or accidental, ahould place their chosem representatives in a false position be- fore any portion of the American people. “With these views, I respectfully ask you to say whether or not I aun justified in assuring friends in the United Staten that the republican reproventattves of Eu- rope do in no way desire to interfere with any domestic question in the United States, and especially with one Wherein, berides the subject of slavery, so many other considerations of a political character are involved. GEO, N. SANDERS,” EXTRACT FROM KOBSUTH’S REPLY. “Loxox, June 3, 1854. “Upon carefully reading your letter, I reply, that while deploring the existence of slavery anywhere, all my principles are against foreign interference with the domestic affairs of another nation. Besides, though be it trom natural necessity, be it from the impassivity of its leading statesmen, the United States do not yet ap- ar conscious of their competent position; still T const jer the strength and prosperity of the only republican power on earth 60 important to the future destinies of he world, that I certainly would never contribute any- thing to its internal divisions. Nay, true to my prinel- plex, I cannot recognize any division in America ; I look the brotherhood of the great republic as a whole, and have too high a respect for the American people, ax one undivided body of sincere republicans, not to believe they will of themselves, with all the light before them, make their nation a model for every other, L. ‘KOSSUTH.” The grand intellectual organization of the red republi cans of Europe, embracing a body of men unequalled for their virtue, their magnanimity, their self-denial. their fidelity to principle—except by the men of ’76—ent fained towards this whole country, at the beginning of the Pierce administration, the highest regard. But Mr. Pierce and his cabinet treated thelr friendly manifesta- tions with a contempt of which Persigny and Morny would not have been culpable, For Louis Napol made every effort to win back the great spirita of which his perfidy has robbed France. Indeed the whole drift of this administration has been to alienate from us everything liberal and democratic, in Europe, im Cuba, where not? ‘Treachery and dark hostility to the masses have marked its course. The fraudulent inaugural, and the lying Készta letter, were hardly cold from the press, before they were practical} renounced. Orders were secretly seni to every Ameri- can Minister in Europe, of a character to full any anxiety that might have been created in royal aud imperial circles, by the open declaration of such demo- cratic and American intentions on the part of the new administration, The conrequence was that ministers mere compelled to refuse the protection s0 clearly pledged Jn, thowe | magniloguent elaborate documents to adopted citizens in their minority. Cares of peculiar hardship came under my own notice as Consul, of worthy men, in nowise politically ob- noxious, who, trusting to ibe promises of Pierce and Marcy, had come long journeys, at great and embarrass- ing expense, only to grind their teeth in useless indigna- tion ut finding, too late, the odious fraud that had been practised upon them. The revolutionary movements in, Europe, and particu. larly the continued republican agitation in Spain—now nearly two years in motion, and still progressing—must make it important to the South to have under its notice the views of the European democrats on the acquisition of Cuba. 1, therefore, present a portion of a letter from the great statesman of France, Ledru Rollin, to myself, upon this subject, dated Londo ee 1854. “After various modes already ¢ Aays:— “« it not be greater and raore logithmate to assist democracy in the mother country herself? “ Believe me, it is in that noble and official assistance that resides the solution of the problem—a legitimate, honest, incontestable solution—the only one worthy of mighty America. ‘; - 7 * * “ By thus serving the general cause of liberty, America will have secured her own cause, For, in the very name of the proclaimed in the mother country, Cuba, if really in affinity with America, will «pontaneously, without ‘ible reclamation, unite to that America to which it is so contiguous, and towards which itis at- tracted by her youth, her force, and the course of thi by following that large and fertile method, the question is elevated and dignified. . * ® able to restrain America while she is faithful to voth continents:—she who possesses an and force, who alone in the world holds y exuberance of treasures ve which permit her to rush into the chances of a generous struggle without overtaxing her citizenst—she, in a word, who must feel that were demo eracy once vonquished and enchained, in Europe, ahe herself would become th 8 im. of despot tm who would attack her sail floating under all winds, her immense coumercial relations, her ever new and in- creasing extension’ “Let hee understand that by helping democratic Spain, she will assist at the #a ime all democracies, for they are Wrotherty united, she will defend herself, Be- in the midst of her illimited prosperitios, is mot her ence ever troubled at the idea that the patriots who righ under oppression beyond the Atlantic, are the yous of Diane whe sontelouted 40. conquer ber own inde- pendence “Bh the heart of the nation less faithful t the frail eanvas« ’ for a picture is still « wails of the Capitol, commemorative of the batt Yorktown, in which the fate of the rising matic decided, and where the American army, comm aded by Lafayetic, avd the French army commanded by Viome nil, mingled theic blood under the fire of the English batteries, for the holy cause of liberty. “einee nearly 80 years this picture is waiting for its counterpart in history, Willi at length be given by the good genius of America® “DP wish it sincerely for be. own glor: .

Well, to make the revolution repulican in isue, nothing’ in the world wae wanted Lt the certainty of such “auxiliary means’ 94 would have enabled the republi- can party to prevent the other parties in making the initiative their own.

MONEY MARKET. Sunpay, September 2—P. M. During the past week there has been considerable fluctuation in the stock m#M@&et. In the early part the decline was rapid and steady, but a reaction was realized at the close which brought about a partial recovery. The improvement is by no means of a healthy character. It was produced entirely by artificial causes, and as soon a8 they have had their operation a still lower depth will be reached. The bears are decidedly in the ascendant. All the indi- cations point to much lower prices in the stock market. There is already a more active demand for money for business Rurposes, but it is nothing to what it will be a8 soon as obligations begin to ma- ture. Atthe commencement of this season's busi- ness there were no outatanding obligations of con- sequence. During the long period of inaction, lia- bilities of all kinds had matured and there was a great scarcity of first class business paper. For some weeks past there has been a steady increase in business, and commercial paper has been man, ufactured rapidly and to a large amount. The banks have discounted this paper liberally, and run up their line of loans to an amount greater than ever be- fore known. As soon as this paper matures in large amounts there will be a more active demand for money than we have known formany months. Then the banks will require the payment of the bulk ot their stock loans, and then we shall find a tightening of the screws upon the money market. Throughout the fall and winter months there will be compara” tively a stringency in th€money market. We have abandoned all hope of any decrease in our shipments of specie. It is our belief that a larger amount of American securities are sent back from the other side by every steamer than goes out on new orders, and that more than one-half of the amount of specie ex- ported is the proceeds of the sales of the United States securities on foreign account. The high prices which have ruled in our markets for American stocks, has been inducement enough for foreigners to sell inde- pendent of the necessity existing on the other side for remittances of gold from this. We must prepare ourselves for a more contracted money market. The revival of business, the production of a crop of breadstufis and cotton, unprecedented in the history of the country, will give great activity to capital, and draw it from stock investments for more legiti- mate employment in the channels of commerce. Albert H. Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly sale of bonds and stocks will take place on Monday, at half past 12 o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. ‘The exportation of specie from this port last week amounted to only $127,489. The only shipment was by the steamship North Star yesterday, for Havre. We have remarked that one of the most extraordi- nary features of the railroad mauia was the stupidi- dity and utter blindness with which some people allow themselves to be gniled into the purchase of such stocks as the Cleveland and Toledo, the Erie and others, while there are an abundance of good, substantial, safe dividend paying and dividend earn- ing stocks always to be had. We have mentioned among the latter class the Galena and Chicago, Chicago and Rock Island, Michigan Southern, Read- ing, Michigan Central, &c. We might add others to the list, the slightest examination of either of which, or comparison of figures, with the Cleveland and To- ledo, ong) t, it seems to us,to be sufficient to pre vent any one not absolutely insane from the coum- misvion of such folly, For the purpose of showing how great a difference exists between two companies, the stocks of which in market value are not very wide apart, we give the returns of earnings of the Galena and Chicago, and the Cleveland and Toledo, for the year ending August 1, 1856:— Gass AND CiicaGo RareRoAD, for the year—official 4 re Operating expenser—46 percent... 680 Inte «ton bonds—#1,900,000,.,... 133,000 10,525 Interest on *urplus income 10,000 990,526 Paiance for dividends,..... $865,077 Which on $4,500,000 of stock is equal to nine- tect per cent and a fraction.

No one would suppose from these figures that Cl.veland and Toledo stock was selling at 87987) per cent, and Galena and Chicago at only 111 4 112 per cent. ‘There figures are more favorable for the Cleveland and Toledo than the most experienced railroad men in the coantry will admit. On account of the pecu- liar disadvantages of working thia road (two tracks of different guages), it requires at least sixty per cent, instead of fifty-five of gross earnings to pay current operating expenses. Add to this a proper eum for general depreciation, and the result shows nothing whatever left for dividends. The Galena and Chicago Railroad Company on the ist of May last, as per the annual report of that date, bod on band surplus earnings amounting to $315,754 43. On the 13th of Jaly the company esti- mated its probable enrplus for August Iwt, after pay ing o)\ expenses, interest on bonds and five per ceat cash dividend, at $392,919.

A meeting of the citizens of Lockport was held in that town, on the 23d inst., to devise measures the construction of a-railroad to-connect with theMuffalo, Corning and New York City Railroad. A resolution was passed appointing a committee of three on the part of the citizens of Lockport to con? fer with the directors of the road named, to agree upon terms of connecting with that road and report at a future meeting the result of such consultation, ‘The anthracite coal trade is again tery heavy, the tonnage for the week reaching 134,062 tons, by the three lines connecting the mines with this city.
