8 THE CR2SI8 IN NOVEMBER. ‘What will the South Do if Lincoln be Elected LSTTIN FROM MR. SPEAKER ORR ON THE ELECTION OF ABE LINCOLN. "ANDERSON C. HL, Jaly 23, 1860. Guxrummen—] have read and carefully considered your to me to become a candidate for the Legislature in district. The steadfast and cordial support you gave me throughout my public career of sixteen years, renders % paicful for me to decline any position which you desire me W occupy, and yet private considerat ious, of too gre: ‘weight to be disregarded, impel me reluctantly to de your call. z 1am, like yourself, deeply impressed with the crit! al aspect of our federal affairs, and believe we are drifting rapidly upon revolution. My hope, as you know, for years past, for the preservation of the righis of the Soat Ww the Union, has been upon the democratic party. 50 long ag it was united, harmonious aod triumphant, our righte and institutions were safe. That great party that bas, in times gone by, won 80 many brilliant victories over federaliem, abolivionism and consolidation, and es- tablished #0 maby sound and. core vative principles, is pow disunited, divided and broken up. ‘extingaishes my ardently cherished Tte disruption extingutr ly our rights, bat the Unioa ne ‘ent of an idle tov debate or review the causes that led t0 tte disruption. Let iteuttice here for me to say, that tn my opiaico the secession of the Southern delegates from the Charleston Convention was unwise and impolitic. ‘\ was manifest, there, to the moet casual observer, that Jodge Douglas, who was 80 justly obnoxious to the South, coud not receive the nomination ina full couvention, and it was equally certain that Mr. Breckinridge would bave been the nominee if the Southern delegations had not abandoned their posts. If Mr. Breckinric bad been the nominee at Charleston his election would have been a certainty. He is now the nominee of only one wing of the party, the other wing haviag nominated Douglas, and whiie I shall give to Breckinridge and Lane, abe nominees of the Baltimore Convention—gentlemea of tried patriotiem and sound principles, a hearty and cor- dia) support—I eee no pr sepect of their election, either by the or otherwise. thine Hamlin, the black republican nominees, ‘will be elected in November next, and the South will then decide the great question whether they will submit to ‘the domination of black republican rule—the fundamental principle of their organization being an opea, undisguised ‘and declared war upon our gocial institutions. I believe ‘that the honor and safety of the South, \n that contiagea cy, Will require the prompt secession of the slaveholding States from the Union, and failing then to obtain from the free States additional and higuer guarantees for the P rwacp of our rights and property, that the seceding should proceed to establish a new government. But while I think such would be the imperative duty of the South, J should emphatically reprobate and repudiate any wcbeme having for its object the separate secession of South Carolina. If Georgia, Alabama and Missiseipp: alone—giving us a portion of the Atlantic and Gulf coaste—would unite with this State in a common secession upon the election of a black republican, I would give my event to the policy. T would indulge in no language of crimination or de- puociation of our brethren in the South who are im- pelled by a sense of patriotic duty to support Douglas nd Johngon. I believe they are misjudging the most efficient means of preserving the rights and iuterests of the South in sustaining these gentlemen; but I coacede to ‘them a patriotism as catholic as I claim tor myself, and 1 feel well assured that when the it sectional issue between the North and South is to decided—an issue which words alone will not gettle—that the South will ave need for the services of all her sons, and that Breck- furidge men and Douglas men will only emulate each ether in their gallant devotion to her honor and interests. ‘Thanking you, gentlemen, for your kind consideration, and reiterating By regret that I cannot respont aflirma- tively ore call, I subscribe myself most truly your friend and fellow citizen, JAME? L. ORR. To Jouy MARTIN and others. THE POSITION OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE SOUTH. (From the Charleston Mercury, Augast 2 ) Boutb Carolina stands alone in her attitude ia th Presi dential election. Not a press ia the State advocates the election of either Mr. Douglas or Mr. Bol! to the Presiden- Squatter sovereignty, and ‘the Union and constitu have not a single representative in the press of the State. The people of South Carolina are united in supporting but one ticket for the Presidency, ‘end that is Messrs. Breckinridge and Lane. ‘What bas produced this unanimity in South Carolina? It is becaure the press and the public men of South Caro- tina have beea more true and faithful to the rights of the South than they have been in other Southern States. The troth hag been more boldly declared—the right has been more fearlessly maintained in South Carolina— and, consequently, her people have been better informed, and are better prepared for the great issues which are involved in the Presidential election. If, dur ing the last ten or twenty years, abolition and the Union bad been dodged in South Caroling as it has been in other Southern States, we would have been now torn as they are, by the distracting and conflicting pretensions of a half dozen candidates 10 the Presidency. Tue spirit of part centring at Washington in nationaliem, bas carsed Southern people with its blinding and corrupting in- fivences. Elections have not turned upon the maiutea ance of the constitution and the right it guarantees to ths South—but upon party—the democratic or whig or Ame- rican parties.

OF THE TANNERS, ETC, The regular eemiannual meeting of the Sole Leather Tanners’ Association was beld at the Astor House yester- day, for the purpose of conferring on matters connected with the trade, At their meeting in March last reeolu- tions were adopted recommending @ curtailment of thirty- | Bye per cent in the manufacture of sole leather, in view 4 | of the surplus in the market, and this meeting was for the purpose of ascertaining bow far that course bad been be- neficial, The association only includes those tanners that reride in this State and Pennsylvania who do business in New York, and it is said that the Western tanmers, immedi- ately after the adjournment of the March meeting of the association, instead of curtailing their business, increased the manufacture of thet class of leather, thus Foc pe yoy J the over stock which the association in- to reduce. efforts of the asseciation were, however, only partially paralyzed by the action of the outgide tanners. Only about eighteen members were it. The meet- ing was called to order by Mr. Lewis Northup, President of the agsociation, The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The Executive Committee thereupon reported that they had received reports from fift; veer ve represent- ing a tanning “Bans sides, stating that they have worked since September 1, 1859, up to July 15, 1860, 948,629 sides, ‘The Paxsvent said that there was an impression that some of ths members of the association had not acted honestly in regard to the curtailment recommended. Mr. Konzwson replied that the association might direct measures for the protection of the trade, but they were only the tithe of the tanners of the country, and could not control the action of all. The outside tanners would con- tinue to send their stock to the New York market; but the aesociation should take as they were, and act for the the association. He felt that if he had fort tanners that he could mention in this city acting with them, he would not care for the ‘ts which other tanners might make against the interest of the associa- tion. ii the members of the association continue to cur- tail their manufacture, their efforts would be finally s cessful, notwithstanding the course of outside tanners. He had taken great pains to inquire of his friends in the ‘Western cities as to the condition of the boot and shoe trade, and he found that although the dealers there did not purchase shoes in this market last fall, there was no scarcity in those cities. Mr. R. concluded by recom- mending partial curtailment for come time to come. The Freupmnt said that they must look at the facts as they really existed; the attempt to stop the demand for sole leather would be ag vain as an effurt to cueck the course of Niagara. The demand for the article was wide. spread and it would continu A GentieMAN asked him if he did not think tha’, ia con- sequence of the failure of the tanvers in England, the American market would receive three to one of the hides that it had exported. The Presipest replied that he entertained no fears of such an event bap; . It cost one third leas to manu- facture leather in thie country than it did in England; the materials used in the operation were a a. He did pot believe that leather would return from land, and he thought that the consumption there would pre- vent it, Mr. emo offered nr moe following resolutions, which were unanit — Resolved, That the members of this association who have conformed to the policy of curtailment in manufac- turing, which was recommended and inaugurated at the {ast meeting, have great reason for Lge ge ingen that the experience of the five months, and present condition of the hide and leather markets, fully demon- strate the wisdom of such policy, and show that a more general conformity to such policy would have resulted Still more to the advantage of the trade. Resolved, also, That we arin MO ney) with those tanners who, thinking themselves than their genera- tion, decline to pursue the icy of curtailmeat, and trust that the entire trade will soon acknow! the ex- pedieacy of a concert of action where there is guch a com- munity of interest. Mr. Kierstep, Vice President of the association, pre- sented a lengthy rT, was read by the Secre- tary. The is an extract:—Wo find, on referring to our banking associations, our mercbants and manufac- our turing companies, that they have an established system of at least once a year to make a complete statement of the exact cost of conducting their business, the value and cost of its productions, and the profits or losses resu'ting therefrom. Is such a course pursued by tavners? If not, should we not at once mend our ways? Mr. Jackson also read another document from Mr. Kiersted, which stated that, in consequence of the rapid advance in the price of hidee—from twelve cents per pound in 1852 to thirty-eight cents in 1857—with a cor- rerponding advance in ', creating a peridd of large profits, which stimulated capital to seek tanning as a de- firadle business, which was fayored by new railroads being built, making a large district of country accessible to market, which, combined, bas multiplied tanneries to the extent that, when all operate fully, the produ stion of sole leather far exceeds the amount needed for consump tion, ‘That expansion was not confined to this couatry alone, but extended to Eagland and other portions of Furope, and fully explodes the idea that went forth a few years since among the tanners, that the production of hides is not ta to the supply of leather needed; but ghows the fact that the morease in manufacturing faci ties has created the great demand for bides, and that it | was not caused by the actua! demand for cousmp. ‘NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDA Proper regulations on board.

M. ‘We can report no change in money. On call it is abundant at 5 a 54 per cent; paper is pretty ac- tive at 5 a 5} for short, and 6 a6} forlong. Many of the Wall street authorities look for a severe hank contraction in September and October, and a money market stringent enough to affect borrow- ers. tis certain that the banks cannot go on for- ever increasing their discounts as they are now doing. But,on the other hand, there is a great deal of money in New York seeking employment, and if the rate of interest rose one per cent there would be a great deal more. If the imports con- tinue throughout this month to be as moderate as they were in July, there can hardly be any such demand for money in the fall as can inconvenience prudent traders. Asa general rule, trade thrives best in New York when money is worth seven per cent at the minimum; we see no present prospect of its rising higher than this. The Sub-Treasury dida large business to-da: $447,874, of which $223,000 from customs; the payments, $292,243; the balance this evening, $5,687,729. There was nothing done in foreign exchange to- day; the appearance is that the market for Satur- day’s steamer will be rather dull. There is no change in the domestic exchanges. There was a very heavy business done in stocks this morning, as may be seen by a glance at the printed list of transactions; but the movement of prices was irregular, and, on the whole, down- ward. After the board the market was steady at the morning's decline; in the afternoon a rally took place, and stocks closed at a considerable advance over the morning’s prices. New York Central was supplied at the opening of business in excess of the demand, and fell off from 87} last evening to 86} at noon to-day, then rallied and closed 87} bid at the close of business. There was no cause for the decline this morning; it was due to the realizing of profits by parties who had been buyers at lower figares. It is understood that the New York Central will do this fall the largest business it ever did, and at rates about thirty per cent above those which ruled last year. Correspondents from Albany talk of par for the stock by next January. Erie, Hudson and Harlem were all from 3 to 1 per cent lower; Hudson rallied at the close of the first ses- sion, and closed in the afternoon 59 bid, against 59] at the close yesterday. The demand for the Western shares was very active, though several of them were freely supplied by parties who were buyers a few days ago. Michigan Central sold down. to 64] and then rallied, closing 673 bid, against 664 at the close yesterday. Guaranteed was firm throughout the day, closing at 49, against 484 yesterday; the common stock of the Southern was better. Mlinois Central opened as it closed yesterday, advanced } per cent, and closed 82 bid. Galena and Rock Island were steady at the first board; in the afternoon they were higher, clo- sing 7%} and 83 bid respectively, against 76] anc 82} yesterday. Toledo was better; it sold up to 48, an advance of 2} per cent, closing at 47} bid. Pa- cific Mail and Panama were neglected without change of price; the bears are selling both on the rumors of a new route to California. Mr. Moses Taylor's name is mentioned in connection with Mr. Roberts’ enterprise. The business in railway bonds continues to be large. Michigan Southern seconds advanced 2 per cent. We understand that Mr. Dun- ham, the President of the Corn Exchange Bank, is absent from the city; when he returns, the singular | tion, which wag also made evident by tho fact that | the bides for a time were worth nearly as m yer made from them.
