But it is not te the rebellion of tho eerdwainers eione that this result, so confidently aatict pated, is attributed. Boside that, the causes of this rev ston ta popular eontiment are fourfold, viz: 1, To the nat ral abhorrence of the tog masses of the State to the epiré of abdolitionism ss symbolized and ombodied in the career of Joba Brown. 2. To the monetary int the capitaliste, which are jeopardized by the bare prospec’ of the cleotion of such & man as Seward to the Presidency ef the United States. 3. To a deep, a fathomless, a brow and boundless gentim:nt of patr: ‘Usion among the people, inbereted from paat gener And, 4, To an almost untversal desire of the active moa to be on the wioning side im politice, with a tolersbly lear prospective view of the official loaves aud fehes, Anu slavery, ag a political qaestion in New Hampshire, te theoretical. The masses of the peop'e hardly know what a negro is. The theory that a human being is in Dongsge strikes thom as forcibly and as deeply as somo of the cordwainors’ strikes have struck the bosses; and a desire to shake off tho bondman’s shackles is as natural to thom 2s is a sentiment to strike off the burthens that have so long borne down the poor sheemaker. Even whhin a few weeks, thanks to tbe enterpriee of the Rew York Herarp, which has given a more enlightened sg jabor question now agitading the New England mind than avy paper, even wituia the and States. a vast change hae been wrovght in the opinions on this subjectof the farmers and men of New Hampshire. Unfamiliar with the fight of a negro in bondage, their eyes bave beon sud- éenly opened to the spectacle of white mon in shackles in their own Stato, mayhap within artone’s throw of their ewn homesteads. ‘They are beginning to rub their eyes and stare at this eturtiing fact. Jt ts as frightful to them fas the worst of the fabulous pictures of the suiterings of the slave presented in ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin.” They be- gin to say, © Wo baye bad nigger enovgh—give us a Kittie white man.

He boasted of being able to furnish ‘fe jarge ancunt of goods on demand—ai! he wanted was custom. Ho -applied to a Tennessce dealer, aud the Bennessccan told bim, thet althoagh he (the manufac turer) did bis “pegging” by machinery, and ought, there- fore, to fill orders at x choaper rate than others, he was Be friend to the Southerner aud Swvathern iustitutions, and he could not, and should sot, for thas reason, deal with him. The manufacturer scott it the idea of bis trade failing of in the Sovth on ant of politics, and ed be .bad just re large order from vile, which he should promptly Gu, a3 he would orders to the amount of $16,000 or $20,000 more if offered. In Bbort, he gave out the impression that bis business wae never more prosperous, aud the Southern shoo trate ever wore lively ‘than’at this time. Atthat very mo- me! this boastful republican manufacturer was upon. the very “brink of bankruptcy. Attachments had already Deca issued upon his property, aai would have been served but for.one thing—a conilayration. His establish- mest was unfortonately burned down one day abozt neon, and there was but $5,000 insurance upon t! whole concern. Imagine the prospect of a $10,000 order for shoes from a Southern State preventing a conflagra: on in a small bat well known and venerated town to- ward the northern part of New Hampebire. Proaigious cllorts are beiog made on both sides to carry we © yon on Tuotday uext. The con test ie mainly for the members of the Iogisla- ture, ana the way colonizing bas been carried on would even ainave the famous Gleatworth, of pipclaying memory. Cartloads of honest citizens have been carried from suretowns to doubviful ones, aud their board paid for three months—the period necessary to secure the ‘voting qualification among the transmigratory or peripa- teuc young population of the Granite State. Both demo- erata and republicans enter largely into tiis species of humen trafic. The trade is not at all disguised. It is as Public and iogal as the coolie trade or the slave trade among the Pertuguese. The whole political spetam of New Hamyshire, ir cootests like these—when a United States Senator is to be electod—resolves itself into a system of domestic privaccering; aud letters of marque are placed 4n the bands ofmen of mark to be served oa all who aro ‘po! able to mako their mark or ebow their colors upen the ‘ooean (Qr.:—Ob, shun?) of politics. Some of these con- Bicts are using.

There is doubtless much truth in these assertions, but it is evident to every one that if the nenly bold out ontil the present stock is ox , the “bosses”? will be compelied to comply with their terms or abandon the business altogether. Under the old rates a thorovgh and eilicient workman could average about one collar a day, while poorer work- men received from seventy tive to eighty cents. Ovea- tionally an extra workman could earn two dollars a day, but trey werefrare exceptions. Is it any wonder, then , | that intelligent and industrious men, many of them he: of families, should revolt against tuch crushing oppres- sion? One of the arguments used against tho strike is, that the shoemakers managed to live on the old prices, they were to receive two or four shillings more . they would cnly spend it fooliably. In other words, epoble them to indulge in some luxuries or con- ces Which have bitherto been monopolized by the ged class. This is the matter ina nutshell. The & close at the North must be kept down or they will encrouch upon the privileges of the mauufacturing of Now Evgland. And such is the philanthropy it} of black republicanism—a philanthropy that weuld e white working classes of this country upon a level with the white elaves of Engiand, and make tne boasted “tree labor’? of America fice only in name. In fact, it is that already. The operatives and mechanics of the New England States are beginning to teo through the hollow pretensions ‘and mock humanity of their rulers, and they are growing reetions under the hoad. Every exertion ia now being mace by the republicans to divert the attention of the ehocrsakers from political questions, upon the grounds the present depression je not owing to any political ence, but arises from causes altogether foreign to siitics. They know the origin of the present trouble, und fear the consequences if that knowledge once breaks upon their slaves.

I have been in Now Hampshire but ono week, but I am eurfoited with nigger- iem. I breakfast on slavery propagandism, dine off a slave code for the Ferritories, and sup full of horrors on the Fugitive Stave law. If I ride, the nigger is at my side; do 1 walk, the ‘black phantom dogs my footsteps; and when I sleep, mydreams are disturbed by the presence of a hideous Ethiopian monster, who hangs to me as did the Old Man of the Sea to Sinbad.

I.now go in for hang. ing, shooting, drowcing, burning or smothering every rigger on the continent—anything, to abolish the eternal and infernal din about slavery.

He commenced his addreseby saying that.he desired to be beard, not for himee!f, but for his cause; that be al. ways delighted to efeak to laboripg men, and that if he did not honor the working clazees he should cact reproach upon the father and mother whore memory. ke was proud to perpetuate.

New Haven, March 8, 1869 Agrand ratly of the democrats of New Haven took Place this evening to bear Caieb Cushing. Caarlea R. Ingereoll presiced. After an appropriate introduction, ir. Cush‘ng took the platform, grected by three hearty cheers for the New England statesman and goldier, Mr, Crainx commenced by eayingthathe bad had only a day's notice te pre- paro, snd that this was not the only speech he intended to make in Connecticut. After depicting the pros, 7 and glory of the country, he eaid that the questions of the day were:—Shall this Union stand?’ “Saall wecontinie to bave a common country ?”” ‘Wag it to fall by its own weight?” “Have we been born with some congen! fect, that predooms us to premature cadacity f”” fruit to be rotten ere it is ripe?’ “Aro the people of the North to persevere in angry, vicious, mischievous, ill tempered intermeddling with the socia) institutions of the South?’ Reverend ministers and high reaching statesmen exhorted us to do a0, and the press echoad thatexhortation, These weapons of carnal warfare had recoiled upon the clergy and cone great harm to religion. Mr. Curbing then ayerted to Seward’s irrepressible coa- flict doctrine. The announcement of Sswari’s name was greeted by a round of applause followed by hissses. Sew ard woult perhaps be the standard bearer of the repubii caus in the approaching contest. (Applause and hisses.) S» beit. Gladly and provdly he would accept him asa N Joog ago Seward announced the doctrine of a high : fowhich mcn were to appeal. There was eome excuse for a man who chose to disregard law, who@ever yolun- tarily xssumed obedience; but for a man who took an cath to support the constitution, to profess to bo perjory. (Applaure.) The speaker could appreciate the famplcs of & Quaker, but the man who voluntarily enlist- ed apd then set up conscience as an excuse for disove- dience, derer ved to be shot as a traitor. But the higher law doctrine was now obrolete. The pretence now was of an inevitable necessity for discord and disunion. It was fail that only some half a milion people owned slaver, and they therefore conutituted an oli garchy. That was a fallacy of fact. Master reprevented his whole ffamily aod dependan's. Jt would be ag just to call the landholders of the North 4m Olignreby. There was no part of the world where wealth wos 60 unequally distributed ag here. Nor was it troe that the South excited undue influence jn the nation With 1ew exceptions the North bad always had its share; tg weakpert bad been in the jesiousies and rivalries of its statesmen. The unity of the South was a defensive unity, and in the recent contest for Speaker it had almost digappeared. The irrepressible conilict was said to be tetween tho free labor and slave iabor States, What conflict could there be where there war diversity of productiongand not identity.

THE NEW JERSEY OPPOSITION STATE CON VENTION. DELEGATES APPOINTED 10 THE REPUBLICAN CON VERTLON AT CRICAGO—CONPUSION IN THE RANKS.

If they had conficence in theif candidate, let them go to Ghicago, untrammelled by any resolutions, and act in ac be eer 34 with the circumstances which might there ranspire. Mr. Chsrles Dudley, of Camden, said that in his opinion it would be an anomaly in a Convention called for such a purpose, not to pass.resolutions expreasive of the,sense of the delegates atsembled.

This framework of popular sovereignty is what we desire to acknowledge; but itis that which the democratic party, who profess popular eovereigaty, utterly refuse to regard. Did we not have an issue last year whether the goverament or the Senate sbould be the pomipating power, and did we uot go into the canvaes and fight it out hand to hand? And what id the people say?

It was but the duty of the working men of this State to stand by and aseist their fellow working men in their just demands.
