The Avolition Character of Black Re- pubdlicanism Proved—Its Import to the Central States, The black and bitter abolition character of the republican party stands out more and more clearly to view as the campsign advances, reading deep and portentous lessons to every conservative interest in this country. We have the public and authoritative avowal of Mr. Seward that “ the Massachusetts school’ is the true school of black republicanism, and of Lincoln, whose only claim to the Presiden- tial chair is that he is an avowed acldier in its ranks, enlisted for life or death to the bitter end. The character of “the Massachusetts school” has received a new exposition in the nomination of John A. Andrew as the black republican nominee for Governor of the old Bay State. Mr. Andrew ia a clear and unmitigated abolitionist of the Garrison and Wendell Phillips school, and hae been no- minated by his party on that explicit ground. It was he who not only gave money himself, but actively procured subscriptions from others for the purpose, and sent counsel of “the Massachusetts school” to Virginia to de- fend John Brown from the just punishment for his bloody raid into that State, and be has been for many years one of the most influential of the rabid abolitionists. His nomination is a practical ratification of Lincoln's declaration NEW through them to invade Virginia, for the re- pression of resistance to a policy that must de stroy ber! It is om their borders that the ti of brotherLood will be sundered and the auger of warrage, Governor Letcher’s recent asser- tion that, though he is no dizunionist, no sec tiona! President should march federal troops across Virginia while he was ite Governor to attack a Southern sister State in arms, is a fair expression of the sentiments of moderate Southern men. Will Pennsylvania aasist Vir- givia, or aid to subjugate her? What a:titude will manufacturing New Jersey take towards the abolition hosts of “the Massachusetts schoolt” Where will commercial New York stand? There is but one proper way for the conservative interests of these Central States to reply to these questions, and that is, takiog warning from the nomination of the radicul abo- litionist Andrew for Governor of Mussachu setts, to determine that they will defeat the election of the abolitionist Lincoln, so that such grave and terrible questions shall never be put to these States, A Pian For Serruise tHE Eastern Qves. TION.—That troublesome and indefinite issue, the Eastern question, promises to give busy oc- cupation to European diplomatists for some yearato come. The difficulty in bringing it to a settlement is occasioned, bowever, less by in- herent obstacles than by the interest which the leading European Powers have in continuing the present unsatisfactory condition of things in Turkey. They all feel, like the Emperor Nicho- las, that it will be better to let that empire fall | to pieces than to reconstruct it, for they may then come in for a share of the fragments. If they could only be prevailed on to make a sa- crifice of their selfish views the Eastern ques- tion would be susceptible of an easy and defi nite solution. Tue idea that bas been recently started, of erecting Syria into an independent Pashalik, and making Abd-el-Kader its sovereign, pre- senta the germ of this solution. When the Ma- homedan conquests were consolidated into one empire, with Constantinople as its seat of go- vernment, the sway of the Sultan extended from the pillars of Hercules to the Persian gulf, and from the Caucasus to the Lybian desert. The encroachments of Russia, the revolt of Mehemet Ali, the revolutionin Greece and the conquests of France in Algeria, have contracted this once vast dominion within com- paratively narrow limits. But even this the decrepit government of the Sultan is unable to keep under subjection, and it is to its weakness that we owe the atrocities that have recently The Maine Election—Its Importance, The election in Maine, to be beld on the 10th September, for Governor and members of Congress, may be regarded as of very great importance, from ite bearing on the Presidential election, It will be'the first since the elections in the South which will have any political signt- fieance. The election in Vermont ou the 4th September will not amount to much, for in that State the elections have always gone so deci- dedly one way that there is no probability of a change now. Even in 1852 it gave Scott 22,175, against 13,044 for Pierce; and in 1859 it gave 51,567 for the republican candidate for Governor, against 14,489 for the democratic. The case of the Maine election is different. It will test the strength of the republican senti- ment, and foreshadow the result of the sub- sequent Presidential atruggle in November. Mulne bas in late years gone republican; but recent events may have produced a reaction whose evidence will be revealed in the coming State election, In the olden time Maine went democratic ; as, for example, in 1848, when the returns of the Presidential election were as follows:— on the basis of the Compromise measures of 1550, and the Union sentiment prevailed. The for Scott was a far more popular man, nor yet 4 triumph of democracy, for there was no de- mocratic issue, but a victory over the disunion agitation which sought to disturb the settlement of 1850. agreed to by the leading statesmen of both the whig and democratic parties in Con- gress, including Clay, Webster and Calhoun. Maine, for its patriotic action at that time, in contradistinction to Vermont and Massachusetts, was greeted as “the star in the East.” But by the corruption and mismanagement of the re- publican leaders ever since 1854, the State has gone republican. In the election for Governor that year the numbers were:— Governor was as follows: Republican, Dewcorat ..

In view of them, no man can doubt what is the true tenor of the teach- ings of “the Massachusetts school,” and every one who has present interests at stake, who has children to whom to leave the bright inheri- tance he received from his fathers, who has a patriotic hope for a future career of greatness and prosperity for his country, must tremble at the prospect of such fanatics obtaining pos- session of the federal power of the confedera- tion. Men calling themselves moderate ropub licans, who believe that their party is merely animated by a desire to prevent the extension of slavery in the Territories, and that it means no hostile aggression upon the sovereign rights and social safety of fifteen sister States, must now begin to see where they really stand. They must perceive that they are deceived into sup- porting the projects of the most intolerant and bloody minded set of bigots that it is possible | to conceive of. They must learn that they have no control of the party organization to which they are affiliated, but that its whole manage. ment and impulses are in the hands of fanatics whose aspirations they do not share, whose destructive schemes they detest, and whose plans they had vainly hoped to restrain and control. In a word, they must now be con- vinced that they are nothing more than tools in the hands of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and the rabid abolitionists of “the Massachusetts school,” which will scorn their counsels, and fling them aside when the triumph they aim at is attained, To the conservative, industrial, commercial and intellectual interests of the country this Massachusetts nomination comes with a thun- dertone of warning. If the cloud in our poli- tical horizon has seemed to them, hitherto, no bigger than a man’s band, this sudden clap musfforetell to them the black tempest that will soon overcast our political sky if they do not conjure the storm. It lies if their hands to do this. The key position of the Presidential contest lies in the Central States—New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey—the heart of our commercial, manufacturing and mining in- terests, and if they do not now roll back the fanatic tide of black republicanism of “the Massachusetts scRool,”’ they will soon have to roll back a stronger tide of hosts of aggressive fanatics, bent on the subjugation of the South- ern communities to their demoralizing and de- structive free negro teachings. flatter himself that when the hour of contest comes these Central States will be free from the bitter and bloody fruits of the fray. Who- ever rightly contemplates theie geographical | position must think otherwise. The unmistakeable indication of what “the Massachusetts «chool” mean to do, which is given in their nomination of the radical abolitionist Andrew for Governor, will go with new portent | through every county, town and hamlet in the South. Ten years of contemplation there of the necessity of resistance has produced a remark- able change of the views in which secesston sud disunion are held in the minds of all men, | snd what was esteemed as political heresy in 1850 is orthodox and accepted in 1860. The election of Lincoln on the abolitionist Platform must Carry the Sonth into armed resistance in self defence of its rights, its existing social or- ganization, which none but itself has the right to characterize as good or bad, and the in- terests of its citizens. When such o state of civil war comes, itis not alone Delaware, Mary- land, Virginia and Kentucky that will be bor- der States, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, too, will stand in that category, and the most im- Portant portion of the State of New York, and they, too, may be called upon to answer the important questions that apply te border States. What Will be their reply when « sectional Presideat cadertakee to marok abolltica forces Let no man | It being admitted that the present political system of Turkey is inadequate to the protec- tion of its Christian eubjects, who form more than half its population, and that owing to the jealousies of the three leading European Powers there is no possibility of its being so reconstructed ag to insure that object, what is the plan that recommends itself as being likely at once to effect it, and, at the same time, to place out of the reach of France, Russia and England the bone of contention over which they are ever ready to come to blows? Ob- viously that of so dividing up its provinces into small but independent States that the unruly population of each can be kept in perfect con- trol by its chief. The example of Egypt will euflice to demonstrate the feasibility of this scheme. Its Pasha is equal to all the requirements of bis post, while bis responsibility to the Earo- pean governments is full and complete, without occasioning him any anxiety as to their de- signs upon bis territory. Let the other pro- vinces of the empire be disposed of in the same manner. Syria, which is distinct from Turkey in its language, its customs and its prejudices, might be given to Abd-el-Kader, whose abili- ties as a ruler and friendly disposition towards the Christian population point him out as emi- nently fitted for its government. The two Armenian provinces could be combined under the rule of one of their old princes, many fami- lies of which are still in existence. This would leave Turkey, on the Asiatic side, the whole of the peninsula, from Kizil Irmak to Marash, or thereabouts, as well as the command of the Black Sea. In Europe it would be good policy to make the Balkans her artificial, as it is her natural, boundary, which would still leave to ber a noble territory, comprising the Her- zogovina, Albania, Macedonia and Roumelia: with Constantinople as its capital. Bosnia and Servia might then be united under one prince, as are Wallachia and Mol- Gavia, whilst Bulgaria should have a sepa- rate government of its own. By this arrange- ment the misgoverned provinces of Turkey would be placed under better, or at least more stringent rule, and rendered separately respon- sible to Europe for their treatment of their Christian population. The sick man, thus re- lieved from the cares with which he is at pre- sent unable to cope, would be in a condition to do full justice to his people, and Europe would no longer be fretted by anxieties regarding the fate of Constantinople and the disposition of an inheritance which so many covet. A Preasast Stout To Wirvess.—One of the Pleasantest things to contemplate just now is the revival of business in every quarter, and the opening promise of a profitable trade which dawns upon the land. With abundant harvests and general activity in all branches of trade, the legitimate aim of this commercial nation appears te be rapidly reaching its accomplish- ment in the present season. The thousands of people who have been recreating at the water- ing places and other summer resorts, are pour- ing back into the cities to resume their com- mercial occupations, and with o prospect be- fore them such as they never had before. One of the most cheering features in this ple ture is the confidence which Southern mer- chants exhibit in the good feeling and conser- vative principles of New York and the J generally, as indicated by the Union elec tickets in Pennsylvania, New Jerecy and New York. They are buying large etocks in spite of the gloomy future which politicians Would prepare forthe country if they conld Work out their selfish purposes, But the South- era merchants rely with abiding hope upon the : jowever, was not regarded as a sectional candidate, but as @ conservative Southern man, in whom was embodied the op- position of the whole country against the de- mocracy. The republican party, which had not then developed itself, and was supported by thousands on probation, as an element of oppo- sition to the corrupt party in power, gave its nomination to Fremont, and he accepted it, republicanism then professing to be conserva- tive, and opposed to abolition. The result in Maine was, therefore, far more favorable to him than to the candidate for Governor, the diffe- rence being 12,789 votes. Owing to the con- tinued demoralization and corruption of the de- mocratic party, and the factious conduct of its leaders in Congress, the republican sentiment still prevailed in Maine last year, when the result of the election for Governor was as fol- lows:— Republican... Since that election the republican party has more fully developed its designs, and the John Brown raid has opened the eyes of thousands of conservative men at the North to the danger- ous and revolutionary nature of the organiza- tion, as avowed by its leaders in their speeches and in “Helpers Impending Crisis of the South,” which they have all endorsed, from the Senators and representatives in Congress down- ward. What effect this handbook of treason and John Brown’s overt act at Harper's Ferry may have produced on the conservative portion of the republican party in Maine remains to be seen. The ensuing election will tell the whole story. If the people of that State should reject the republican candidate for Governog—and it requires only a change of six thousand votes— the act will speak volumes, and the effect pro- duced over the whole North will be tremen- dous. It would be a declaration, not in favor of democracy, for that organization is shat- tered to pieces, but for the Union sentiment, whjch is the real sentiment of the country. And the republican journals and leaders are afraid of this result in Maine. While they are muking a great noise in this State over local mat- ters, and talking about Duer, and Brooks, and Hunt, they are sending money and agents to Maine to secure the election there, of whose significance they are fully aware, as an index to the existing sentiment of the North. The result of the contest, therefore, on the 10th of the next month, will be looked for to with the deepest interest by statesmen and poli- ticians of all parties, and by the people of every section of the country. Tue Weratrn or tax Covytry.--The coun- try at the present time affords a prospect of unexampled prosperity which may well excite the eavy of other nations, The first grand staple of our foreign commerce, the cotton orep of the season, is the largest we have ercr had except that of last year, which was an ime mense one; but owing to a slight drought this year the return falle o little short of the crop of 1559, but still will enable us to export over two bhandred millions of dollars worth.

They say that, however the politicians may conspira to deatroy them, there is a tower of strength in the conservative principles of the Northermcom- mercial cities, which will mairtaic union and peace against all the assnulta cf their enemies when the crisis comes; and, thus asanred, they are purchasing liberally and without fear.

Itis now settled that there will be a review of the First division New York State Militia, a grand ball givea by the com- mittee of citizens, and a torchlight procession of the Fire Department. In reference to the last named demonstration, we have received a note, of which the subjoined is a copy:— New Yorx, August £0, 1350 Jame: Gonon Baverr, = Dsax Sm—Wby don't the committee, of which you are one, and who represeat $2t0,000,000, pay the expenses of the firemen’s parade, and not ask the working men of the city todo it, as they would bave to If the city paid it’ [ suppose, from the names of the committee, t t the rich intend to monopolize the Prince, and they e! pay for 't. A FIREMAN ANU WORKING BL “A Fireman and Working Man” is, it seems to us,a little hasty. The committee to which he refers represent all classes of citizens. Many of them have raised themselves, by hard work, from indigence and obscurity to affluence and position. They purpose simply not to “mono- ize” the Prince, but to give hima grand ball, in which all respectable citizens will be re- quested to participate, This committee, it seems to us, have nothing to do with processions or reviews contemplated by others; but if the firemen—in whose ranks there are many rich men—or the milltary—who are equally able— should object to appearing on account of the expense, we have no doubt that the city will be ready to foot the bills, which will be only a bagatelle after sll. It is to be sincerely hoped that all classes will join in the endeavor which is to be made to show the Prince and the representatives of the British government who accompany him that the power and the greatness and the glory of the United States have not been overrated, and that they may have the evidence of their own eyes to confirm what they have heard with their ears. As to the ball, there will be no difficulty; but the more important mat- ters are the military and firemen’s parades, the like of which cannot be seen in Europe. Just now the volunteer militia system is at- tracting particular attention abroad, and the perfection which our citizen soldiery have at- tained isa sufficient proof of the efficiency of this arm of military service. Then the firemen present to the European view a most formida- ble brigade. Nearly allof them are trained to bear arms, and ‘o them danger is asa pas- time. They may be appropriately termed the Zouaves of civil life. From. these two inde- pendent bodies the Prince and his retinue will obtain a bétter idea ofour peculiar institutions and theory of self-government than any other. And we put it to our correspondent, and all who may think with him, that whatever mea- sure of importance the Prince's risit may have for one class in the community it possesses for every other. Whatever tends to attract the at- tention of the European governments to the city of New York, as a great commercial metropotis, having within itself the foundations of its own prosperity, is as important to the working maa, the mechanic or laborer, as tof the capital- ist, the merchant or the professional man. All Of us, Whether we build slips or houses, or im- port goods, or engage in any profession or trade, are equally interested in promoting the prosperity and increasing the fame of our me- tropolitan city, of which we are so justly proud. Tur Conservatives or tar Covyrrer.— As Exawrete Wortay or Iseratioy.—The South has given to the rest of the Union an example well worthy of imitation. One of the Southern candidates for the Presi- dency was--we can hardly say is—Mr. Breck- inridge. This gentleman is young, able, gallant, of winning manners and address, and extremely popular. The South could not have had a candidate more completely to its taste. But, unfortunately for his chances of po- litical elevation, he had accepted his nomina- tion from men who allowed themselves to be headed and controlled by secessionists. That fact ruined Mr. Breckinridge’s Presidential as- Pirations. Deservedly esteemed as he was in his own section, and indeed everywhere, the popular verdict in almost every Southern State that has since spoken has been adverse to him. This isa warrant and assurance to the world that so far as the South is concerned, that sec- tion is devoted to the maintenance of the Union and the perpetuity of our institutions, and will continue in that position if the North will give them a chance to do so. It is for the North now to give them that chance. It is for the North to prove its dero- tion also to the Union. Mr. Lincoln, however eligible he might be in other respecte, is the nominee of men as avowedly hostile to the South as Yancey aad Co, weye hostile to the North, Ghd that fact ought te ruin his Presi- Gential aspirations just aa Mr Brecktaridze saw his destroyed by « parallel state of things. Let the people of the North prove that they are as generous sad as conservative ss the peopie of the Sonth by refusing to give thelr suffrages to one whe is sc en. tirely objectionable as is Abraham Lincoln This will ineure the peace of the country and canse both sections tc entertain for each othe: sentiments of kindness, respect and admira- tlen.

Never was there a Presidential election before in which so many of the candidates took the stump aa in the present contest. Seldom, in- deed, have candidates eome before the people at all, General Scott was induced to do it ia 1652, Now nearly all the candidates for Preai- dent and Vice President have entered the lists in person with their armor on. It seems that in proportion to the absence of excitement among the people is the zeal of the aspirants for the chief magistracy. There is an evident waat of Confidence on the part of one and all. Lincoln was the first to take the field, but only succeeded in making one speech. In that speech, however, he said enough to last for the rest of the campaign, if not for the rest of his life. He declared his determination not only to carry out the irrepressible conflict to the bitter end, but that he and all other republi- cans would by degrees go greater and greater lengths, thus showing that revolutionary re- publicanizm is not only aggressive but pro- gressive. Where it will stop, if not stopped at once none can tell, i Mr. Douglas takes the stump at the North and South. Instead of meeting the issue as laid down by the republican candidate, he goes of into side issues dead and gone, and talks about equatter sovereigaty, which is nothing to the purpose. Breckinridge is to follow him im- mediately, having been announced to address mase meeting next week in Kentucky. If he should take the same course as some of his sup- porters, the fire-eating leaders at the South, who threaten a dissolution of the Union ia certain contingency, he will find his words aa wide of the mark as those of the Douglas. We hope he will repudiate the disunionists at the South, and fairly and squarely meet the isaue raised by the republicans and their candidate, Johnson, on the same ticket with Douglas, has stumped the South, and, what is curious, his principles are opposite to those of the “Little Giant.” Mr. Lane, on the same ticket with Breckinridge, has made a speech, of which a re. port will be found in another column. It speaks for itself. Thus three candidates for the Presidency, and two for the Vice Presidency, are either out or coming out stumping for themselves, Sam Houston has retired, else he would have been on the stump, and itonly remains for Hamlia and Bell and Everett to comie forward to have the whole of the candidates in propria persona before the people, who would thus be the bet- ter able to judge of the respective merits and principles of each, and render a more intelli- gent decision. Tur Fart Trape—Isricx or Strangers Lyre tar Metroro.is.— Judging from present indica- tions, the trade of New York this full bids fair to exceed bya large figure that of any former season. The Custom House returns, the weellly earnings of the railroads and canals, and the unprecedentedly crowded condition of the hotels, all denote a degree of commercial ac- tivity which has not till now been witnessed since 1857. The rapid rise which has taken place in rail road shares of all kinds is another evidence of the confidence which is felt in our business prospects. This feeling is, to a certain extent, justified by the extraordinarily favorable reports that are being received of the results of the present harvest. In seven of the Northwestern States alone the Chicago papers estimate the produce of the wheat crop at 118,000,000 bush- els. It is no wonder that, with these facta, coupled with gloomy accounts of the Europesa harvests to work upon, speculators in railway ehares should have recovered some of the fool- hardiness which had been damped by the panic of 1857, However they may err on the sanguine side, there is no doubt that the earnings of the rail- roads will this year be larger than usual. The returns of the canals since their opening show already an excess in the receipts of $604,356 over those of 1859, and before the close of navigation it will probably amount to more than a milion, The same influences that affect the revenue of the canals, of course, aleo con- tribute to swell that of the railyoads, whilst the latter have, in addition, an amount of passenger traffic over their lines exceeiing that of any former period. The stimulus imparted by abundant harvests, combined with the rush of visiters attracted bere by the visit of the Prince of Wales, cannot fail to confer a vas} amount of benefit on the local trade of our city. Our merchants are preparing to take advantage of it by laying in large stocks of new goods; and if they can only avoid orer speculation, there is but little doubt that the result of the season's business will ea- able most of them to puta fair amount to the prefit side of the account when they come te strike the year’s balance.
