Cotton Mather believed be dia God service whea be eed the hanging of (he witch-s of Salem, and proclaimee thay be saw the devil wbisperiag #\ ears while they quivered on the gallows. The Pnritans believed ia their own righteous sees when they drove all other religious sects from Mussachusetta, Loyola hovesly deemed (bat he served the best commands of the meek and lowly Jesus iu establishing the order of the Jeenits. Saint Oominic, in the fervor of Christian faith, founded the inquisition. And eo it is through all history, The purest motives of zealous moraliste, and the most earnest faith ot Christian zealote, have done the worst deeds. Caivin burned Servetus at the etake for an abstract idea, The tone of the black repnbiican press evinces the same zeal in forcing their abstract rule of right down the throats of an unwilling people, among whom it must become the rule | cf ruin reduced to immediate practice. Ia the | States of the North, not one, but all, forget that in Southern veins flows the same blood | with ours, an from tbeir insidious teachings | the slaves already begin to contemplate tner- rection, and eervante to threaten their masters, believing that they will be protected therein by a black republican administration at Wash ington. Yet with euch ® state of things io their midet, one of the leading journals of the Maseachueetta school, whose words we give ia another column, proclaims that “Old Abe will take care of these agitators; that “the exer- cise of forcible means by the federal govern ment” will be justified; that “in such a coutest the slave Sistes would be speedily and deser. vedly crushed by tbe arm of power,” and that the result would be “the immediate and violent sbolition of slavery, the destruction of their commerce, the ruin of all their material inte. reste, and finally a forced submission to the au thority they had resisted and the government they had defied” George the Third and his minion, Lord North, never used etronger language or expressed more bostile intentions when, for far less mo tives than the South has today, our fathers teceded from the crown of Great Britain. And when Boston proclaimed “the right to secede, and that goes back to the primal right of revo- lution, of rebellion against an existing govern- ment,” 98 the Boston Atlas acknowledges, it was the South that sent to Massachusetts the earliest and most earcest support in its claim of the right of secession, And whea our Revo- judonary fathers founded the Union, they left, as has been expressed recently by one of the clearest min¢s of the New York bar, “revolu- tion orgenized whenever it should be de- manded by the public opinion of a State,” by organizing the States “with complete govern. the menta, bolding the purse and wielding | che sword.” The tone and manner in | which the black republican press speak of the claim of the South “to the sacred right of revolution, when its bighest and dear. est interesi* are in dager, is the most provokiog incentive to their use of that right Even in | the cautions but insidious declaration of the Albany Journal, that “a voluntary effort of Mr. | Linco!n to \ranquilize the public mind would | impair od weaken bis power and usefalness as President,” there is abundant menace for the Sontb. Such an effort on bis part could only impair bis power to use coercion; it would strengthen immensely his power to preserve the Union; ph thus for has proved so great a blessing ercion is impossible The people of » North are not going to march down to the South with fixed bayonets for the purpose of making an slarmed and roused people confess thet the North fe just and has the right to dic- tate the view the South must take of ite social and political affairs; nor wil! the North. ern people ever attempt by force to make those of the South admit that “slavery is an evil and acrime”’ If the Union cannot bé maintained by the force of public opinion, no other force can maintain ft. The black republican journals aod leaders must therefore recede from their tone of menace towards the South, If they do not the people of the North must take this matter io band, and by public meetings verywbere denounce their fanatical aad fool- ich leaders. and the poliey they so vauntingly proclaim, before the evil becomes too great to be remedied, aod revolution and raia tnvolve all interests, North and South. wh Sovrm Canontxa ty 1832 ann in 1860.—The republican journals are consoling themeeives with extracts from the Charleston Mer. cury of 1882, to sbow that this present eooestion excitement in South Carolina is only the repetition, in another shape, of the } poullifeation exeitement of General | sect ons dey. We fear, however, that by etont feeding for thirty years this thing of with Oarolina haa grown too | song Gud palpeble ww ve treated as & mere tcarecrow.

That moet infallible of public barometers the stock market, was terribly agitated yesier- day. The traveactions in Wall etreet were not very large, but they were, like Mercucio's wound, enough.” We give below a table +howing tbe decline in etocks since the L0ti of October, avd recommend it to the especial at tention of eome of our cotemporaries who bave pe.sisied, in the face of the moat positive evi- deuce iae¢leting that the election of Liacoia woud be » paneces for all sociai, political aud finsocu! eviis.

It is pot our perpose to alsrm the country upnecessartly, or to join the army of the croakers. We bave taken a bope ful view of the great question which has brought about this political crisis at the Soath, apd firancisl panic at the North. But we are now compelled by a sense of the duty which we owe to (ne people to tell the leaders of the republican party that the country is in a very critical condition, The events of yesterday in Wall street reminded us very strongly of the beginning of the revuisions of 1537 and 1557; but if sometbing is not done to qniet the Sou'h we shail have a panic compared to which those above alinaed to were as mere eddies ia the siresm, We know that just now it is the common cry tbat the secession movement will amount to uotping in the end—that the intensity of the Souwern feeling will abate in a few weeks, and eo on. But donor be too eure of that. Let some means be taken to bring about so desira ble a cocenmmation, or elee the industrial aud commercial interests of tbe republic will be bopeless!y paralyzed, and thousands of families will be reduced to beggary. We bave not yet lost our fa.th in the permanency of our government and the stability of ite in stitutions, but we canoot sbut our eyes to the painful truths which the events of the Isat. few days have elici'ad. We hope snd believe that the conservative merchants, bankers and manufacturers of New York will make a united effort to obtain some official statement of the principles aad policy which are to govern the new administration. To svich a time as this all minor considerations should be waived, and the good of our common country only considered. Let the Union men, North and South, stand firm, and all may yet be well. Tuk Prorosen “Howm Cive” ror Yacuts wxn.— We have printed elsewhere « letter from a well known yacht owner taking strong ground ia favor of the project for the establishment of a place in the city proper Where members of the New York Yacht Cinb can meet each other, talk over the adventures of the past, arrange plans for the future, and entertaia their friends from abroad. There is ample room, for another club up town, and the only difficulty in establishing one bas been the want of some speciality upon which to organize it. The Yacht Club bas upon its books the names of the first people in the city, and re- presenta all cliques of society. So there could be no complainte of narrow minded exc!usive- pees uch as are made, and we presume with justice, against the clubs now in existence. A club without an object or a motive above eat- ing, drinking, card playing and mutual ad~ miration, is rather a dull affair. We are quite satisfied that the Yachtsmen’s Hume will bee very agreeable resort, and, more than that, will be the source from which the public will gain from time to time some information of the greatest value to the people of a maritime city like this. An Isterrstixae “Arreat.’—On the day before the election a number of gentlemen well known in Wall street published what they termed “An Appeal to Business Men,” urging them to vote the Lincoln electoral ticket, 80 as to prevent the election from going to the House, when the peace of the country would be endangered. The “appeal” contained the following words of wisdom:—“The only way, then, to forestall a winter of disaster, and to secure political and commercial tranquillity, ia to give the little aid that is now needed to in eure his (Lincoln's) success.” This “appeal” was enocees{ul, or, at any rate, Lincoln was mocessful. Now, we with to ask Mesars Wil- liam A Booth, Shepherd Knapp, John Q. Jones, Velatiah Perit and their associates what they think of the “pence, not panic,” which the election of their candidate bas brought upon the country. What do they think of the present aspect of political affairs at the South, and financial matters at the North! Are they not now persuaded that the success of the fusion ticket would have been at least the milder evil of the two? If they are not now of this opinion, we are satisfied that it will not take a very long time to convert them to it. Tar Recertios or Mr. Dovotas at Mowt Gowery, Aranama.— It is reported in the news. papers that as Mr. Donglas, with his wife at his rida was ascending the steps of his hotel in Montgomery, Alabama, on bis recent visit to that town, several addled eggs were thrown at bim from the crowd of loafers aesem»led around the honre, and that the contents of one ege, ox- ploding on the Senator's bat, were scattered upon bis companion. The republican papers are using this incident as an {llustration of Southern society and hospitality; but there are ruffiane and lunatics everywhere. We have no doubt, assuming the facts to be as stated, that if the offending parties in this case were detect- ed, they wotld be severely punished. But we are not yet ratiafied of the truth of this newapa- per report, and we hope the truth may prove this reported outrage to be only the tuvention of come newspaper Bobeadean who could flad pothing better to do. Importeut from Svata Cesoline In another columu will be fouad an import- ant telegrapbic deepatoh statiog that the South Carciins Bank offers <0 take one fourth ot the bonde irsued by the Legislature for the erming of the State, ead that the Legisixture ndjourne to day, leaving the question of seces tion ip the bunds Of the peoply The delegates to ue Convention are to be elected on the 9th of December, and the Gouvention iv to be held on the 17ch of December, when the question will be decided whether Bouth Carolina se- cedes from the Union or not, That sbe will secede there ean be hardly a doubt io the mind of the most incredulous, na- lees eomething extraordinary takee pluce at the North in the interval, South Carolina is a unit on the question. It was asked, where wonld she get the money to prepare for ber defence io the event of beiog attacked by the federal power? That question is answered by our de apatch today. The Southern States cea get mvuey in abundance on the pledge of their cotton and otber products A question more to the point for those who talk madly of waging war with tbe seceding States would be, where is the North to get the money to coerce them! lt would cost one hundred times as much to successfully asesil the Southern States ns would be necessary for them to defend them- selves, To conquer vine miilions of men ia their own country, with ail their resources around them—mea, too, who sre all skilled in the use of arms and pot afraid to use them— would bea task trom which the most warlike | nation in the world might chrink. England did her utmost for seven years to conquer the same people when the whole population of the colonies ouly numbered s little over three mil- lions, and that first class Power failed to the attempt. And so would any attempt on the part of the Northern Stategfail to subdue the South. For be it remembered that the moment a blow was atruck by the North at one saced- ing State, all the Southern States would rally round ter,and it would be necessary to con- quer all before one could be browzht aader the yoke. However the Southern States may differ awepg themselves about the wirdom of secession, there would be no difference among thém when it came to war. It is ridiculous to quote the caee of Andrew Jackson coerc- ing South Carolina when she guilified a law of Congress. That case is en- tirely different from the present. The people were not then unanimous in the State. A large number were opposed to nulli- fication. They are now perfectly unanimous for seceesion, and there are three or four other States whore population are all nearly of the same mind. If this were a movement of the politicians it would be easy to cupprese it. But it is a move- ment of the people themselves, and that cannot be arrested without grea: difficulty. We fear the people at the North do not yet realize the extent of the danger and the sad consequences that must follow this disastrous revolution at the South if it should be carried out to a seve- rance of the Union. Between now and the time of the election of the delegates to the South Carolina Convention, on the 9th of December, some decided steps ought to be adopted at the North. The leaders of the republican party, the press of the party, the members of Congress of the party, and above all the President elect of the party, ought to come out with mani- featoes declaring that it is not their purpose or policy to meddle with the slave institution, nor to infringe in any way upon Southern rights. Let them make up their minds to carry out in good faith the compact of the constitution, and wipe away the odious imputation, of being “covenaot breakers,” a class of men whom the republican clergy ought to tell their congrega- tions “God abbors.”’ So itis written in the book by which they profess to be guided, and in that sacred volume, too, they might finda good reason for repealing the Personal Liberty bills which nullify the Fugitive Slave law of Congress. They might point to St Paul send- ing back a fugitive slave to bis master. Let them, by doing this, help to repair the mischiet they have eo largely contributed to bring on the conntry. There is not a moment to be lost ‘The eecession movement is advauciug on every side like s prairie on fire. Sraset Coummsionne Surra—A faithful pub- lit officer is a jewel without price in this cor. rupt age and among this over-taxed communi- ty. Official corruption and incompetence have unfortunately for years past been the rale and not the exception in all the affairs of our city goverpment, and hence the value of sucb 5 man as Capt. G. W. Smith, whose term as Street Commissioner, we regret to say, has just ex pired, is hardly to be calculated. Until within the last two years the Street Department was the very hotbed of official dishonesty, and a perfect chaos of confusion. Bat Capt. Smith has radically retormed all this, and the affairs of the department are now restored to perfect order, and peculation is‘known there no more. By untiring industry, great tact in the selection of bis subordinates and the enforcement of an inflexible discipline, be has been enabled to cleanre this Augean stable, the most foui of all the departments of the municipal goverament Capt Smith announced formally to the Board of Aldermen on Monday the expiration of his term of office, and his readiness to deliver up control of the department to ang successor who may be appointed. In retiring from this posidon the Street Commissioner may justly take with him the sesurance «hat bis publis services are not disregarded by the people whose interest he has faithfully guarded for two years or more He found the department & waes of confusion, and he leaves it aa orderly ss a merchant's counting house. He found it reeking with corruption and robbery, and he leaves it purified. What more can be said fora New Yor’ official? That isa reputation which establishes him at once a8 a rara avis in terris. The names of several parties are mentioned ae Capt. Smith's succeeror, bat we only hope that Mayor Wood will be able to select as good » man as the present incumbent Mx Lixcouy’s OL Sreecues.--To prove the conservative position of Mr. Lincoln, his party organs are republishing extracts from bis Illi- nois campaign speeches of two years ago. But they do not meet the necessities of the case What we want is a letter or @ speech from Mr Lincoln now, on the present crisis in the South, embracing his views for the preservation of the Union. Is be for harmonizing the Union, or for pushing oo, with Mr. Seward, the “irreprea- sible conflict,” Union or dimunion? That is what tbe American people desire to know, and this ie the qoesdon which Mr. Lincoln can answer just cow as well as et any ober time, Tuvr. ow Weep am > Hecrer Bourn, Reverend Phurtow Wood sroagbt wy the etoo of repentance by ‘he dre i diwanlog #xulte- ment in the Sout, res Ling (ra Linerin’s alee tion, comes down (© © poteenal confession con cerning the Heiper book fe says that — Wo read the Helper Oook, baat!!y, soon after les putt chien Te wen the wort ofa Southern man—sontten nat reeigept of North Garo ina It oeptraaved the avantages ito the vised wapinges of maver; , proving, as we th wugat, that (he preaperity of North Carchioa was retarded ravoer then promoted by elavery, When waked, tnorofore, to Bid ‘0 the puniiesiton of « large edition of « ‘Co: i. we coptriputed $100 Al Wasbingon, im December inst, wo first warned that ‘Compend"” contained tbe following recommenda Poe ororgh Orgnoizetion and tndepen eu! political ac the part of non slavenolding whites of the South % lueig dihty of elavebolders—aever anothar vote © the traificser ty buman bead 3.

And they now begin to realize the consequences of their criminal folly. Toe Helper book, with its atrocious recommenda tions against Southern slaveholders, was a fit ting wecompaniment to the John Browa foray; aud between Helper, Brown wnd Mr. Seward’s ‘4rrepreesible conflict.” the public mind in the Southern States, ia 1858-59, was prepared for making the election of @ President in 1860 by the repubiican party the signal for disunion and & Southern confederacy. The sagacious Thurlow Weed now comer ous with his repudiation of Helper. The party have used bim, and glorified him, and circniat- ed his book by millions of copies; but now, in the face of this rising Southern etorm, they plead not guilty. This is a sign of repentance, although it may be too late. Poor Weed begins to eee visions of anything but a bed of roses for himself as the chief cook of the Wash ington lobby. Tae Fizst Fxvrrs or Tax Recent Exyotrron— Ler Tazre be A Mass Maztine ov Tus Wonk mG Mey.—The triumph of the republicans in the recent Presidential election bas ulready had the effect of curtailing the expenditure of our aristocracy for luxuries. One month ago the leading barneeemakers were receiving their or- dere by the dozens for the three and five hundred dollar rige 10 adorn the prancing eteeds ot the upper ten in this city as they appeared on the fashionable drivea ebout the metropelis; but the developemeats io the last three or four days have caused some of these gentlemen to coun termand their orders, even atier the harness was partly completed. The universal prosperity during the past year in all branches of business created a uni- versal demand for the luxury of borsefesb and the necessary equipages; but as al! classes in the metropolis, from the owner of s brown stone palace in Fifth avenue to the lowest plebeian at Five Points, are affected by every change that takes place in the commercial wheel of the na- tion, our fashionables are compelled at the first indication of the coming storm to tighten the ttrings of their purses ond cut off all expendi- tures for luxuries. Were the simple fact that this or that man was denying biwself cerisin expensive equipsge the only question involved in that announcement, it would carry no weight with it or demand even a passing notice. Bot the formstion ef our society is auch that all classes are depeadent upon each other, and if the rich man is obliged to curtail his buriness and change his mode of living, that in turn reacts upon the laboring man, who thereby lores bis employment avd means for sapplying himeelf and lite ones with the necersaries of life. The fact of thie speoulator or that millionaire losing bis thousands by the fall of stocks in Wall street would bave bur little effect if the result could be confined to thore slope; but buman skill bas not the power to thus ¢raw the line, and say thus far and ne farther sbalt thou go; but by the very natare of society ite worst result is felt by the work- ing mep, whose only capital is their strong arm and active mind. ‘The events transpiring abou’ us create ia the most stoical minds appreheosion of nancial trouble of a serious nature, and it is the duty of all classes, great and «mali to do all that lies witin their power to caim the troubled waters, Above ali, there should be an ex 1 tion on pression of sentiment oy the working @en—the bone and sinew of the North im such a way that the Softh will see that the rabid repubsicans, who. with their mad cry of elevation tor the negro would de etroy the pgceperity of the oxtion, cannot rely upon them to back them up in chie wild crusade that will land ue—Hesveo only knows where Let, therefore, the working men in tht metro- polis and ip every city and town in the Northern States areemble in mors meeting as early ae porsible, and there give utterance to their true sentiments upon the issues of the day, sad io such way that it will tend to restore confidence in the Sonth and allay the feeerieh excitement that pow exists from one eod of the country to the otber.

It is folly for any particular interest to suppose that it will be exempted from the gene ral suffering. The West and Northwest will be made to fee!, in the depreciation of the prices of breadgtuffs, the mistake they have commit. ted in supporting the election of a bisck repue lican President, There ia no eection of the ecuntry on which that deplorable event will not react; and were aot its opponents as wellas its psctienns involved alike in its consequences, we ebould not be sorry for the severity of the lesson which the latter are about to receive. Hf they would evoid aggravating it sti further, they should call on Mr. Lincoln at once to give such assurances to the cotton growing States aa would arrest the secesrion movement.
