Evenine—Neigasor Jacewoon, Recent events tn this city and State give rive to Lie as @ertion that we are ving ina condition of anarchy. The ‘Srate authorities are engaged in a struggle with the Mayor end: Commounlty of the city for supreme power over the same; the police force ie without au universally recognized head; the dookets of the criminal courts aro crowded with Andictments against murderers, gamblers, burg!ars, and rogues of all kinds, none of whom are brought to trial, the public prosecutor is unanimously declared unit for his post; life, iberty and property are vo longer secure; and if the object of law is to protect the weak against the trong, and of government to scoure happiness, persons! @afety and equal rights to all, thon we bave no govern- ment, and we may a2 well abolish our criminal courts. In view of this state of Uhings It ecems apparent that ome extraordinary moans ebould be adopted, not only to discover tho authors of certain horrible and mysterious orimes which have disgraced our city aad State in the yes Of the civilized work’, but to bring them to a speedy account at the bar of justice. The cave of Doctor Burdoll, which is the ‘- newest grief,”’ has excited the larg: r share Of the public attention, and we are aut surprised tat cor tain public spirited citizens, deepairing of any action on the part of the State authorities, and being aware that the Mayor bas no power in the premises, have como forwant ‘and offred their private purses to aesist in unveiling the myoatery which hangs over this awful crime. A day or two since Mr. Brandreth, the celebrated pill vender, offered to make one of twenty or thirty persons whe should each gubsecribe ope thousand dollars to be paiias & reward for the dicovery of the murderor of Doctor Burdoll, aud, ou yeoterday, Mcsers. Woek’y & Co., the stockjobbors in Wal, @reet, made an offer of five thousand dollars for the game purpose.

The Quarantine excitement at Staten Island is re. ported to be on the increase. A requisition from Dr. Thompson, the Health Officer of the Port, was made Buchanan or Fremont is President ;” and then, strangely enough, it felis back upon the democratic party; but the South must “endeavor to sift and purify it, and strengthen it on the new Board of Police Commissionars for @ de | ypon the precise point of Soathern righta.”” The tachment ot police to guard the old Quarantine build- ings, which it is feared may meet the fate of those at Seguine'’s Point.

They belleve in Géd, and that negro slavery to be a sin against God; they be- lieve in black rebellion, incendlariam and mor- der, and the underground rallroad, &.; bat they stand by the federal constitation, as an anti-dlavery document ; and they are in for the war against the Dred Scott decision. Frei Douglass, (black man,) who can’t ewallow tho ebocking atrocities, blasphemies and insane rav- ings of Lloyd Garrison, (white man,) belongs to this Gerrit Smith cociety, Fred eticks to the constitution, but goes in for negro insurrections with peculiar unction, and his white brethren seem to like it. In a word, abolitioniam is ram- pant among us in these terrible orgies of knaves, fanatica, lunatics and traitors, of all sexes and colors, and bedlam is broke Joose. If they were to go on another day at this rate it would be im- posible to hold Captain Rynders. Thus fur, we dare say, in watching the slave traders he has forgotten these abominable abolition interlopers, and hence their escape. ‘The Conflict: with the Legtslature—import- ance of the Issues involved. ‘Tho mass meeting which assembled in the Park on Tuesday to resist the recent usurpations of the State Legislature has, in one sense, disappointed public expectation. In numbers, in feeling, and innnanimity of action, it waa all that could be wished; in the poaltion and influence of the par- tice who took the lend in its proceedings, it fell short of what we had a right to anticipate from the importance of tho interests at stake. Doour leading citizens and politicians understand the resl character and extent of the constitutional issucs which this meeting was called upon to consider, or do they feel satisfied to leave the protection of their rights to men who, whatever may be their ardor and sincerity in tho cause, lack the capacity and influence necessary to en- force attention to them? The United States Mar- shal is no doubt a very efficient and useful man in party demonstrations; but on this occasion he had better bave attended to the daties of his office or remained at homa His mind is not ex- actly of tho calibre to take the lead in a great constitutions! question like this. It is evident from hia speech, and indeed from those of most of the other persons whe addressed the meeting, that thcy do not comprehend ita full scope and gravity, nor the comprehensive and decisive naiare of the measures which it will necessitate. It is not exaggerating the character of the preecnt contest with the Legislatare to say that it is one of the most important political conflicts thst bas arisen in this country alnce the Revolu- tiop. It puts to issue for the first time the ques- tiou whether the epirit of centralization aml the love of arbitrary power are to be allowed to sap the fouadations of our insiltationa, and, per- hape, to lay the basis of an entire altcration in our form of government. Sach are the issues which the meeting of Tuesday waa called upon to consider, and which the people of New York will have to decide before the influence of this treasonable precedent is allowed to extend to other States of the Unioa.

There iz evidence that the resolutions were the frait of « , and some paseages in them betray a malevolent spirit toward the South; bat on the whole, they are better than was expeoted, and feir; a mison to the Papists is an insane idemg bat a mission for the purpose of Christionining the bigoted clergy of the Protestaat churehes would be an institation worthy of general emi liberal support. Increase tn the Price of Newspapers. Several journals are discussing the prospesis of a general rise in the price of daily newspapems in this city. It is assumed that, in consequenes of the general rise in the prices of everything, newspapers mast rise too, and that the time is bot far distant when the HeraLp and some other daily papers will be old at three, instead of tee centa, Many excellent reasons are given for the proposed alteration. We have to say, upon this, that there ap truth In any rumor that, under eoy olrcum- stances, the Hxrsip will be sold by us at any higher price than it is now. It is and will me main a two cent paper. Séveral years ago, for good and eufficlent rea- sona at the time, we might have been willing te Increase the price of the Hunan to three conta, Tho subject was then actively canvamed, and wa are not gure that it would have been, at thes time, an inexpedient change. Bat circumstances have altered cince. The last two or three yeas have proved that we need no addition to ear subscription price to make the paper the public require. Business is pursuing its natara’ course in aggregating round « focus, and adver tisements are coming in-upon us with euch a roma that we are compelled by them to increms the size of our paper by one-half. This enables us to do what it would te ruinous for any other paper to attempt—to pale lich a triple sheet at the old price of two costs Wo axe now prepared to publish a triple cheat daily, at that price; and in course of tine, we will save the Tract Socicty from rain. Let us congratulate the public oa the event. With all its faults, the Tract Society is a really usefal body which we could ill spare, and the joy at its rescue should be proportionate to the pain that the prospect of its dissolation caused. Surely the Anti Slavery Society ehould satisfy the cravings of the abolitionssts for that order of literature and oratory. If any one, after reading the report of the doings of Mr. Pillsbury, Mr. Garrivon and their confr-ree, desires to propagate still further the stuff they deal in, he must have a singular stomach. > A more important society, by far, is the American and Foreign Christian Union, which mot to celebrate its eighth anniversary day before yesterday, This is an important body, with a revenue of some $75,000, which it expends in the maintenance of mission- aries among communities differing in faith from the chief Protestant sects of this country. ‘The proceedings day before ycsterday consisted in the reading of the annual report, and # couple of speeches from two Brooklyn divines, The Rev. Rufus Clark, one of the speakers, after the usual onslaught on the slaveholders, discoursed upon the “Romaniste,” and gave them a pretty , Severe handling; having the misfortune to deviate from the beaten track of rhetoric into the do- main of fact, the reverend gentleman told a few falsehoods about the Pope, among others that he ‘was opposed to railways, when every one knows that he is the largest subscriber to the new road through his dominions; and wound up with some neers at Roman Catholice generally. Dr. Ken- nedy, who followed, began by demonstrating, | from the well known story of Charles the Fifth and his clocks, that proselytism was absurd, and | wound up, like his con/rére, by pitching Into the | Roman Catholics, and calling upon his friends to | pay up for the purpose of proselyting among | ‘hem. The snoual report is in the same strain. Tr commences Uy stating Mat “L’opery robs our Lord of his exclusive claims as the Saviour of the loet einner;” whence “it follows that all who | love the gospel shoulddo their utmost to destroy Popery,” and missions should bo established “among the Papistaas well as among the heathens.”’ Indeed about facts: we glean from it that seventy people areesupported out of the $75,000 a your; and we read that “among the French near ths iow- er Canada line many have been couyiticad of the errors of Romanism and have abandoned it,” whlle the general “rosults are in advaace of way former year.” We desire to deal gently with a body comprls- ing many men of unquestionable virtue and uin- cerity; but we cannot refrain trom exprewing very Great dissatiefuction with this epitome of the re- port. It isnot generally believed—to come to the point at once—that any converts at all, el- | ther near the Canada line or in aay other part of the world, have been made by the Anorican and Foreign Obristian Union or ite agents. The whole story about conversions is bellewd to bo non. senee; part delusion and part imposiure; of a Piege with poor Dr, Gutzlai's report on Siam, which he eaid was “all to be Emanuct’s in a few months;” though tweuty-throe yoors westdu- ous labor have not male» dozen converts We repeat, the publie do not credit any of the stories which aro told about cogversions of tho heathoe. History contains no instango of a body of men oF | & race being converted from one religion to another by mere argument; and it is contraty to natural reason to believe that any considerable number of Persons ever can be socoaverted. Sweeping rell- gious changes have followed periods of great moral depravity, ar in the oeso of tho Reformation; and the utter explosion of one «ystem of religion has paved the way for the establishment of another, 06 in the case of the early epreed of Caristianity, But argument and prosely an, without some col- lateral aid of this kind, have ever boen fruitless. The Jesuits gave the Indiana tangible reasoas for becoming Christians, in the shape of arts and ci- vilization; the and Portagucss gave their Indians a c! between the fire and the font, Batit may be safely said, that asither Christianity nor any other religion has ovor been grafted apon any foreign stock by tho mere aid of clerical teaching. If wo dispute that portion of tho Socicty’s re- port which alleges p-ogress in the work of erun- gclizing the heathen, we take still moro positive exeeption to the allusions to the Roman Catho- lies. Wo are positively asbained that a body of rerpeotable clergymen in New York, ia the yoar 1857, should rieo up and talk suck wicked, bigot- ed novsenge aé the passages we have quoted in re- ference tow large amd respectable bady of roli- gionista Tho Roman Catholio*have their faults, no doabt, and it is not our business to defend them; bat we doubt whether any Roman Catho- Ne clergyman ever evinged so much narrow: iniuded spite, and petty meannons, and ignorant malice sa is coutained in tho report wader re. view. These men talk of seuding missionaries to tho Papistel They bad better keep them at home; they had better chain them to their own fireeides, to see If they cannot by perseverance ond energy drive into the heads and hearts of Protestant clergy men some spark of tolerance and Christian charity. A mission to the heathen isa poor af- shall be ready to give our subscribers a quadra- ple or even a quintuple sheet without adding a mill to the sum they pay for the paper, For we bave passed the point at which the clam end actual cost to us of the newspaper we malae la of any consequence. It ia now eo generalig known that we circulate more newspapers than all the other New York business dailies together that no prudent man of business will venture te advertise in another paper. Some persons, owt of kindly feeling toward the proprietors of other papers, may from time to time, give them on ad- vertisement or two; but this must not be regard- ed as @ business operation. Business mon, ed- vertising their businees, will go to the psper which is seen by most people; and it is now com ceded on all hands that that paper is the Huzarm Every dey tends moro and more to eecure us & monopoly of the general business advertising of theecity. The Hsrarp now circulates an average of aevew- ty thousand copies per day—more than all tac other bucinces papers of the clty combined. At timas it rises above eighty-five thousand copies per day. We bave now got our two ten cylinder Presses at work, and wo aro printing twenty thourard copies per hour; Ht appears that there ts a physical incapacity is tho way of printing any faster thaa this; « period of time being ab- solutely necessary for the types to leave au im- pression on the paper, But thero is vo reason why a new system of stereotyping or clectro- typing should not be invented by which we cam duplicate our forme in the course of half an hour. Should this bo done, we do not despair of yat serving the citizens of Philadelphia end Boston: with their regular daily paper. In any event, the price of tho Hxrawp wih | not be raised. Wo shall publish all tho news, in- | clading that Important portion of it com prieed in advertisements, which we shall coom have exclusively, in a satisfactory maunee, and should we be obliged to publish quadruple or quintaple sheets, we sbald still let the public hare the paper for the old two cente.
