We give elsewhere to-day an article from the Independent, which contains the absurd com- mercial views of the black republican party in regard to the South, Nothing could be more destructive than the revolutionary theories promulgated by the | black republican leaders of the relations of Southera commerce to Northern industry. It is the old story of the membera of the body quarreling with the stomach, and determining tostarve it into submission, Trade that pays | its bills but once a year, says the Independent is ruinous; therefore the Southern trade “is not worth the risks taken to secure it; “our soundest merchants are declining any but the | very beat, extra gilt Southern names;” “if the blight of slavery could with one breath. be swept away, the whole business interests of the South would be revolutionized,” and “the rush of emigranta to that fair and bewatiful country would astonish both Eu- rope and America.” This is only a reitera- tion of Seward’s assertion in his bratal and bloody Rochester apeech, that Charleston and New Orleans must become free labor marts, ecd bis more recent assertion that if Eu: pe | wants cotton and sugar ft must send its white laborers to the fever stricken flelds of the South to produce them. They amount to the siudied declaration thst existing society at the South must be swept away to make room for crowds of red republican emigrants from Eu- rope who will vote the black republican ticket. In order to show the immensity of existing interests which these fanatics would “sweep away with a breath,” we append to the article from the /ndependent a statement of the total exports of the country in 1859, with a specifi- cation of the products which Southern in- dustry contributed thereto. By this statement t will be seen that of an aggregate of 8 000,000 the slave States contributed 200,000,000, or seventy-two per cent of the whole. Sweep this away with a breath, as the block republicans wish to do, or even inaugurate at Washington a policy which looks to its prospective destraction, and the very heart and soul will be destroyed in Northern commerce and Northern iudastry. Our banks, deprived of the resources and business which come to them from the slave States, will have to euspend, our shipping will be tied up in | idleness at our wharves, our workshops will find themselves without orders, and a panic aod ruin worse than that of 1857 willrun through the whole community. Then there will be no South to look to, as in that eventful year, for commercial resuscitation, and the revolution with which it is now proposed to sweep away the existing society of the South, | and make rom for 4 new migration from the North, woud extend its devastating effects to | every Northern © ate. There is a set of shallow pated demagogues among us who will not look the future they are striving to create full in the face, and who cry out that a war upon the domestic institutions of the South will not harm us. See, they ex- claim, the United States stocks rate higher ia every market iu the world than British consols; behold the new United States loan taken at a small premium; contemplate Baltimore, | and Richmond, and Charleston, how stag- nant they are These are but the self-delusions of ignorance, | or the misstatements of wilful falsehood. in population end trade. British consola paying three per cent interest, command, within a emall figure, as high a rate in every market in the world as United States stocks paying five per cent, and any schoolboy can do the sum ia the Rule of Three which shows that if a three per cent stock is worth 95, a fire per eent stock should be worth 155. As for the bids for the new loan, every banker knows that if they were to be made to day, with the devel- opements in the South that are now momen'ly occurring, the Secretory of the Treasury would not receive offers for one half of the ten mil- | lions wanted, notwithstanding the many millions | of capital now unemployed. Richmond, Balti- more and Charleston are stagnant in trade and population, because New York aud our North- ern ports absorb the commerce of their regions; but erect custom houses along Mason and Dixon's line, and place a tariff between them and the Northern ports, and their trade would soon acquire an immense developement, to the loss of the North, if peace could be preserved there; and if this could not be preserved the North would be equally a lover. The truth is just beginning 'o dagn upon the financial and industrial commanity, that if a party whose very existence is based upon the idea that ‘slavery is an evil and a crime” is triumphant at the coming election, the whole system of our labor and trade wil be revolu tlonized, and the fabric of our commercial credit will be destroyed, to give place to a new system and a new fabric, in which the products of stave labor sball not constitute an element, The de magogues and politicians are crying out,‘ Oh, there is no danger; there is no reason to be alarmed; it is only the selfieh merchants who are frightened.” But who, we ark, will be the first to meet the impending ruin’ It is the mer- chants, And when they are ruined, what be- comes of the manufacturer, the farmer, the arti- ean and the laborer? Their immediate and in- evitable rain attends the fall of the merchants. ‘There selfish impulses, as they are falsely called, of the merchants are the throbbings of the tide of onr national and social extstence in its very heart, Every politician, office holder avd demagegue in the country could be swept away, and we should still be « bappy and prosperous community; total receipts for the week were 5,103 beeves, 160 } buat sweep away the merchants, and every inte- cows, 703 veals, 12,115 sheep and lambs and 9,075 swine. ‘The favorable DEWS received yeaterday by the steam rest and pursuit in life would be involved in | irremedisb)e ruin. The panic of 1857 carried down only one twentieth of the merchants in ship Washington imparted tmore firmacat to the cotton | the land, and yet how great was the destrac- market.

Here are centred all the nerves of the body politic which we compnae, The fa- | naticiem of the North is already alarming the Sonth and inflicting serious injury there. The Empire State and this metropolitan city are the first to feed the danger that attends the whole community, and on us depends the defeat of that ineane party whose policy would bring revolution and ruin, Oar State has come back | to its old position in our Presidential contests, | and as we go so goes the Unlon. The material interests of thirty mijlions of men are about to | be confided to our wisdom and oyr judgment. Let every man in the State, therefore, awake to | the importance of the occasion and remember | theta deadly blow cannot be struck at the South without affecting us vitally too. Burpma@ Esterrrise i New Yorx AND Broox.yy.—The number and splendor of the new buildings now in progress of erectioa in various party of our city were amongst (he features that moat attracted the attention of the Prince of Wales and his suite during their visit bere. They gave them a better idea of the | rapidly increpsing wealth and growing import ance of this metropolis than anything else th’ fell under their observation. Take the line of Broadway to the Central Park, and there will be found more evidences of building activity and enterprise than are to be met with ia any similar thoroughfwre ia the world. The stores, both in their proportions snd architectural decorations, surpass every: thing that the ambition of European communi- | ties has aspired to, They bave, in fact, more the character ot talian palaces than of trade empori- ums. Built of white marble orcolored stone, composed of the richest styles of architectare, and but too frequently presenting a lavish com- bination of several, they offer to the eye of the foreign visiter a spectacle whieh cannot but im press him with the supremacy to which New York is destined amongst the capitals of the world. But it is not In commercial structures alone that are to be found the indications of our unpa- ralleled prosperity and nascent greatness a3 a metropolitan community, The new churches, the new theatres and the new hotels, which are springing up in every direction, prove that all our social and religious wants are provided for with the same ambitious taste and prodigality of expenditure that characterize our otber build. ings. At the present time there are in progress of erection several churches, an institute of fiae arts, a new theatre (Wallack’s), and a variety of other public edifices more or less costly, either on the line of, or within a stone’s throw of, Broadway. At the corner of Fifty-ninth street and Eighth avenue a whole eqnare hae been purchased for the erection of a magnificent botel, overlooking the Central Park. In fact, the general movement in that direction has acquired euch an impetus since the Park has been opened to the public that our wealiby people ere buying up all the ground they can procure in its neighborhood, and com- mencing there the construction of residences intended to surpass in palatial elegance and costliness those of Fifth avenue and Madi- son equare. Taken altogether, the expendi ture on buildings in this city alone during the preeent year will probably not fall short of ten millions, In Brooklyn a large outlay is also being in- curred for new buildings. An Opera House is pow approaching completion, which, in pro- portions, will almost vie with our own Academy of Music. It detracts nothing from the enter. prise of our pious neighbors across the river | that their new theatre is being decorated — strictly in the ecclesiastical style. They bad difficulty in reconciling themselves to the pro- | ject at all, and they are providently arranging | matters so that if the building should not pay in | the service of the Devil, it can easily be adapted | to that of God. Between the expendiiure on | this and the numerous other buildiogs, pabdiic and private, which are at present going up in the City of Churches, there will not be less than three millions laid ont this year, thue making for the two cities an ag- gregate outlay in buildings alone for the last twelve months of thirteen millions, It should not be forgotten that this enormous expenditure is being incurred at a time when the country is threatened with political dangers of the gravest kind, and which may briag in their train the destruction of our commercial interests and civic prosperity. Should seces- sion foliow upon the election, or upon the acts of a republican President, it may be safely esti- mated that the new buildings on which all this money has been Iaid out will be reduced to twenty per ceat of the value of their total cost. A pleasant prospect for those whose meney is | thus invested. | Tee Wan ww Nartes—Garmanni's Vicroay at Vouterno.—The position of the King of Na- ples, strongly fortified as he is at Capua, has been a source of disquietude to the friends of Italy. It looked as if he would beable to gather about him there the elements of a for- midable reactionary movement, which might re- sult in the recovery of his kingdom. This feel- ing of uneasiness was strengthened by the con- duct of the Neapolitan peasantry on the occa- sion of the unfortunate reconnoissance made from Garibaldi’s beadquarters. Not only did | they afford no shelter to the retreating volan- teers, but they fired upon and cut them down wherever they bad an eppagtunity. In Naples | iteelf the conduct of the phapéants has latterly | betrayed more than indifference to their deliv- erers. They appear to treat them as if they were @ hostile force compulsorily bilieted upon | them, and practise upon them the most shame: | ful imporitions. In all this there was sufficient | discouragement to render it imperative that the nuclens of reaction malatained by the King’s | presence on the Neapolitan soil should be put an end to as soon as possible. We are glad to find that Garibaldi has be- come fully alive to this fact, and that, instead of occupying himself with preparations for an impracticable aseault upon Venice, he is fol- | lowing up vigorously bis campaign against the | royal troops. The details of the battie of Vol- turno, received by the City of Washington, show that that affair was near proving decisive of the fate of Capua, the Neapolitan army hav- ing been routed, with a loss of over three thou- eand men killed and five thousand taken pri- stoners. When it ie recollected that these troops constituted the flower of the Neapolitan army, it will not be wondered at that the loss amongst the volunteers should also have been conside- table. The case of the King has been rea- dered so desperate by this lost affair that it is probable the next arrival will bring as news of bis departure for Rome and of the capitulation of Capua. Another Anti-Slavery Booa—Identiry of tee Republican Party with Avoiitioa- fomeThe Effect at the Sout. A pew anti-slavery book has just made its appearance, in aid of the black republican cause im the crisis of the battle. It is entitled “Writings and Speeches of Alvan Stewart on Slavery. Edited by Luther Rawson Marsb.” It is ineued from the same treason depot at which Helper’s book is published. The author is one of the oldest and most distinguished abolition agigators in this State. So loog ago ag 1633 he “organized societies, delivered ad- dresses, wrote reports and esauys, coliected and expended money, and travelled far and wide.” He founded an anti slavery society at Utica, of which he waa elected President. He was the “liberty” candidate for Governor of the State in 1838, He died in 1849, and his son in-iaw, Mr. Marsh, a black republican crusader, now collects and publishes bis works, He says:— “Alvan Stewart was an undoubted abolition- ist—that is to ray, in favor net only of the non- extension of slavery, but of its abolition.” Mr. Lincoln, the republican candidate for Presi- dent, declares that he goes for the “extinction of slavery,” which exactly expresses the same idea. Some of the more timid republican leaders, now that they think the election of Lincoin se- cure, are beginning to deny that the republican party is an abolitionist party, and are even try- ing to throw overboard the Helper book. They think that matters may go too far. and they are startled at the attitude of the South and shudder at the consequences to themselves and their children of a revolution which will break up the federal Union under whieh the country has prospered as no other nation ever did before. But in the enthusiasm of victory and the flush of success, these cau- tious men will be borve along by the rampant legions pressing them bebind, like cowards in a storming column of infantry, carried forward by their brave comrades in spite of themselves. ‘The leading organ of the black republican par ty and the great chief of the republican host do pot endorse any milk and water, half and balr policy. Horace Greeley, of the New York Trilune, and Mr. Seward are the joint creators of the party, express its sentiments, and wield more influence over it than any other men in the country. Now Alvan Stewart's book, just published as a republican campaign docu. ment, proves the identity of the docirines of that distinguished leader of the abolitionists and those of William H. Seward. It proves more— it ehows that Mr. Seward not only derived his “irrepreesible conflict” ideas from Stewart, but borrowed from him the very language in which he expressed them. Mr. Stewart eays:— ‘This pation will, ina short time, be divided into two grent parties, which will swallow all others up, to wit:— ‘av eptisiavery one on one side and a pro-siavery one on the otner; ibe first boldipg that al] men are create! equa) what r is honorable in all, aad Liberty the rigut of { wbile the latter or pro-slavery party will bold that eve portion of the country is bora to slaves to the otber, apd that Jabor is disbonorable and a of mean nese and a kindred principle with slavery. liberty loving, labor-bonorteg party; the slavebolding, lavor de epising party—to this compiexion the prople of this couu- try must come at last.

Here, then, is the source of Mr. Lincoln's speech at Springfield, and Seward’s “irrepressi- ble conflict” speech delivered at Rochester two yeara ago. The theory of the antagonism ot free and slave labor, and of the enduring nature of the conflict between them till one or other succumbs, is promulgated by Lincoln and Sew- ard almost in the very langusge of Stewart, | The latter uses the words “eternal hostility” aud “eternal conflict,” and Seward the phrase “irre pretsible conflict.” The meaving of both is the same. Black republicanism and abolitionism are therefore identical. Has Mr. Seward since renounced his Rochester manifesto? Not at all; but, on the contrary, in his recent tour in the West, he has reiterated its princip[s in stronger lapgusge, and, as our readers have seen, has given furtber developements of the republican | programme, such as the gbolition of the army and uavy, witha view to make room for the employment of his Northern myrmidons to coerce the South into perfect eubmiseion to its doom.

The Helper book shows most forei' that rlavery ought not to be extended, by proving that it ougdt pot to exiat, Here the Tribune expounds the doctrine of the party by a reference to the political gospel according to Helper, aud declares that its aims are pot limited to the mere non extension of slavery, but strike at ite very existence. In avother column will be found same ex- tracts from the Helper book, which speak for themeelves. This book, which advocates the extinction of slavery by fire and sword, is announced by the Triune as one of “the campaiga documents” to which it “invites the attention of the friends of the republican canse.”’ Mr. Seward, Thurlow Weed and Governor Morgan have endorsed it, and the names of fifty eight republican mem- bers of Congress written on its back vouch for its orthodoxy. In the election for Speaker of the House of Representatives they stood by the book to the Jast, and no man can doubt that its dogmas are the creed of the republican y- When the Kanss question was settled, and that “bleeding” source of republican capital was dried up, the leaders of the party, in cluding the members of Congress, employed Helper to bring out this book to agitate the North, make converts to the republican faith, | é 5 i f Fs if ii ALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1860.—TRIPLE SHEET. es Jobn Brown and his followers against Virginia, and in the incendiary fires in Texas; aud the next will probably be in the election of Lin- colp avd the wotu) consequences that may fol- low. “Eternal hostility” and ‘eternal con- flict” are the buroing words emblazoned on their banners. What the effect of this revolu- tionary propsgandism is at the South may be geen in an able article which we capy from & Texan journal, in which the writer proclaims the ultimatnm of the South to be—“Tne Con- stitution or Dissolution,” Tue Srace w tue Merzorotis—A Woro Aout THE Actors.— Of all public’men in the world the popular player has, perhsps, the strengest hold upon the affections of the masses. It seems to be a sort of compensation for the fact that bis works caunot live afier him. The politician impresses bis individuality upon the history of the country; the masterworks of the painter and the sculp'or are immortal; but the “poor player stru’s and frets his brief hour upon the stage, and then is heard of po more.” But nowa-days the player is not always “poor.” Both in Europe and this country actors ard mavagers have accumulated large fortunes, and have enjoyed all the luxuries of life as they sailed along before the breeze of popular favor, When the tide once tarns in their direction they become the Alexanders of the hour, They are flattered by the men, ca- reesed and petted by the women, and cheered by the sweet voices of the general public. In many instances human nature has been found too wesk to resist the numerous tempta- tions which beset the popular favorite on every band. In others eharp financiers have swiodled the child of genius out of the profita of his toil. The case of poor Rice occurs to us in this connection. He was an actor in a very eubordifiate position at tho Park theatre, and one day was euddenly illumiuated with au idea. {t happened to be a good one. He picked up in Virginia some of the plantation songs, imi- tated the negro dialect and manzer, invented a dance—the famous Jim Crow jamp—and money poured in upon bim like water. Le was « care- less, generous, good-natured fellow, and let others make the hay while bie sun shone. He neglected to take out a patent for his inven tion, or even to lay by anything for # rainy day. He died recently, in narrow circum- stances, while many of his successors in the business are wealthy. One of them retired, teveral years eiace, upon au ample fortune Among the managers, Simpsor, of the Park, was remarkable. He was always making for- tunes and continually embarking in rash apd ruinous speculations. Burton made and lost eeveral fortunes, and died wealthy. Niblo bas retired upon a haudsome fortune, and is doing the agricultural and borti cultural on an extensive scale. Mr. Wallack is understood to stand well with his banker, and is about to build a new theatre. Mr. Heary Placide, one of the old guard, has retired upon a competence. Ot the well-to do actors who have not yet re- tired, we have Mr. Forrest—who is now playing a eplendid engagement— and adding materially to an ample fortune; and Mr. Hackett, who has always been a very great public favorite. Mr. Forrest, we presume, will retire from the stage in two or thrée years more. He has a splendid residence in the centre of Philadelphia, where he can find, if he desires it, @ solitude as deep as that of the Barcan desert. Mr. Hackett avowed bis intention, some time since, to retire from the stage, and purchased a principality in the West, but afterwards relisquished his jatention of turning farmer on a large scale, and made a trip to California, from wheuce he has lately returned. Mr. Hackett has built for himself a beautiful villa on the heights of Yonkurs. He is a philosopher who takes life easy and looks younger than his sons. His idea is that each generation should take care of iwelf. When he . in the humor be appears before a public which is al- ways glad to see him. Simpson used to say to bim, “ Hackett, Hackett, why don’t you work? You might make “a thousand dollars a week.” “I don want to work,” was the reply of the epicurean philoso- pher; “I wish to do as | like.’ And so Hack- ett is pow jn perfect condition, and shoud cer- tainly give the public a taste of his quality. He is one of the veterene who do not lay superflu- ous on the stage, and the pub'lc, as we said at the beginning of this article, never forgets its old favorites, even when they, a8 too often happens, forget themselves. The Forresta, Hacketts and Wallacks, however, are orna- ments to their profession, and fully deserve the rewards they have received. Ficskevism at Atvany.—The visit of the Prince of Wales did not prs of without a dis- play of flunkeyiem, it appears, and that, too, in & quarter where one would least desire to find it—in the household of the Governor of the Empire Siate. Everybody knows that Governor Morgan entertsined the Prince and suite at dinner during their visit to Albany. Among thove invited to the repast were, very properly, several officers of the Guvernor’s staf, includ ing Quartermaster General Mitchell. But it happens that Gen.

It will thus be perceived that while Greeley and Raymond haya both been laboring in the vineyard of our “rural dis- trict” in bebalf of Lincoln, each bas had another game to play. The “little villain” of the Times, taking a “quadrilateral” view of tha subject, says that the principal object of Gree- ley’s electioneering tour “seems to have beea to look afver the republican members of Assem- bly, in whose preferences for United States Senator he tekes a very marked and peculiar 4nterest.” -This interest, it appears, ia s0 very peculiar, that while Greeley pretends to oppose the re election of one Littlejohn to the Legisla- ture, on account of his participation in its lobby corruptions of last winter, the real object of Greeley’s course upon this matter is the de- feat of Littlejohn because he is in favor of Mr. Seward’s re-election to the Senate. The defence of Greeley is the indignant de- fence of injured innocence; but the Chicago Convention lifted the curtain enfficiently to show us that there is, indeed, an “irrepressible conflict” going on in the New York republican camp between Greeley and his backers on the one side, and Seward and his trainers on the ether. Greeley bas the bulk of our city re- publicans with him, and the masses of the rural districts; but he is deficient in the engineers, eappers and miners of the lobby. | Against him are Mr. Seward, Master Weed, the Chevalier Webb, H. Jenkins Raymond and otbers, “who know the ropes.” All these men expect to ehare largely in the honors and profits of Lincola’s administration. Greeley, with al! his modesty, is as hot on the trail as any of them, First, he aspires to Mr. Seward’s place in the Senate, and, failing in this, he will be content, like Forney, with the office of Postmaster General. Raymoad, on a pinch, would consent to take Seward’s place; Webb, of course, with his Austrian outfit laid by in lavender, expects a foreign mission; white Weed is gloating over the prospect of his fat pickings as the inevitable king of the kitchen. All these things will depend very much. in the first place, on the complexion of our new | Legislature. If it shall go with Greeley, that | philanthropic philosopher may choose between the Senate and the Cabinet, and he may also regulate the share of the spoils respectively to be awarded to Weed, Webb, Raymond, Little- jobn and company. On the other hand. should this new Legislature be against the delegate will be a terrible rompus in the family; for Greeley, with General Cameron and all the Lincoln leaders at Chicago at his back, wif still be stropg enough to stand his ground be- fore ‘Honest Old Abe!’ at Washington. “It is @ very pretty quarrel as it stands;” but witb the election of Lincoln there will be such hot work between these two contesting New York cliques for the front seats in the Senate, the Cabinet and the kitchen, that we may rea- sonably hope it will bring out all the rascalities on both sides of the Jast four years. mm Oregon, apd subject to the nod of Weed, © Tuk Drwonstration oN Tegspay Nicut.— The Union men of this city have shown them- telves to be as euperior to their opponents in nu- merical force as they are in all the priaciples of patriotism and human rights. According to the Wide Awake procession early this moath, aud the Union display of Tuesday eveniny, it is evident that, in the coming election, this city will poll an overwhelming majority against the rail splitter, The majority will be in tha proportion of 10,000 to 40,000—the respeo- tive numbers of the two street demon- trations. The procession on Tuesday night was one of the most brilliant ever seen in New York. Considering the unfavorable cir- cumstances under which it was organized and carried into perfection, it must be univer- sally admitted that it was the most enthusiastic outburst ever offered to the Union cause. It is now the duty of the conservative mef- chants of the city to see that all the bills aris ing out of this popular manifestation should be discharged, and that the burden shall not be thrown upon the shoulders of Captain Rynders. ‘The demonstration bas conclusively shown that New York is traly a national city.
