The Wise Men of the East on Canon
The Boston Journal, whose party has been 5
one of the principal causes of the financial
trouble that. now begins to pinch business and
laboring men, proposes, says the Boston Peat,
that the North should not send to buy any morn
cotton of the South, but wait for the caiton to
come to them I It. thinks that this will operate
upon the South, who will be troubled if they,
can’t sell their cotton to New England manu
facturers.
But how about the New England (gretralil‘gé?
who have followed their blind leaders in this
war on the South? The Journal admits that
manufacturing will be less profitable this win
ter, so that of course the mills must run slow,
or stop, and the laboring men are to he the
mourners lo go about ihe streets crying glory
to the politicians who got their votes under
false pretences, and hare brought. this destitu
tion upon them and their wives and children.
Dividends, in the meantime, must he reduced
or out. off, and those who depend on this aid
are to be cramped if not rendered desiilute of
ordinary comforts. -
And this is the beginning of the end of this
wretched agitation about Southern slavery,
which has resultodin forming that geographical
party which Washington, in his Farewell Ad
dress, forewarned posterity would, whenever
it prevailed, be the grave- of the Union. But
whot is the wisdom of Washington and Web
ster to the sngacify of the Sumners and Wilsons
and Lincolns, who have seduced the people of
the North into their own ruin, and that of their
country, by preaching up this “ sacred ani
mosity” of haired to lhe South! They have
been permitted to sow the wind, and their fol
lowers are reaping the whirlwind. They have
raised the storm which they have no capacity
to govern nor allay, and the only hope of the
country and of the very men who have elected
a sectional President is, that, after all, Mr.
Lincoln will not turn out to be a Black llepnb~
lican; that. he will belie his professions of an
“ irrepressible conflict,” and admit that he was
chosen under false pretenses by turning his back
upon the very men whose appeals» to the de
luded consciences of slave-hating men and
women have mode him President!
And “1911, again, how feeble is this financial ‘
58530“? Of the Boston Journal and its asso-
CiatEE, who fancy they can coerce the South
by not buying their cotton! Why, statistics
show that five-seventh of.the cotton that runs
the thirty millions of spindles in Great Britain
and feeds lire millions of her population, is the ‘
slave cotton 61' the South. And she has added ‘
eight millions of spindles to her manufactures
within three years. The whole North consumes
but one-fifth of the cotton crop of the slave
States, and this one-fifth England and France
need for their new machinery. While the con—
sumption is increasing there, every week, the
supply is diminishing every week, and nowhere
in the world is there any increase of the growth
of cotton except in the slave States, and that
only in proportion to the natural increase there
of slave labor, which these wise men of the
East have so long labored to destroy!
And- now, after the mischief has been done,
the value of propertyland labor reduced every
where at. the‘North, chard winter a! hand, and
bank and millfsu3pensions 'starfng ererybody
in the face, we are told that the grand} remedy
in to send after no'more cotton, but wait for

i “heels on the neck of the slave power,” every
g body is wondering: and fearing and doubting
; whether we shall be :11ch tor get Ihrongh 9.11
5 this without a general and financial crush and

What has mainly produced (his but this mad
war of the North on the South; culminating in
the first election ever made by a geographical
party of a sectional Pregident?
What is the remedy? Nat this miserable
liltle subterfuge of waiting for cotton i 0 come
North, which can better be sold by the South to
England and France, {mi in the meantime
pinching laboring men and falling the men of
business. Not. at all. The remedy is in an en
tire change of the Northern aspect of hatred to
the slaveholding States. The people of the
North must shake ofi' this incubus of sectional
ism. They must. turn their backs on the men
who have deeeivcd‘them; they must- rcsolve to
Jim zip 10 Mei? conslétutz’onal dbliyalz‘ons, and let
slavery alone in everything except turning.“ to'
the. best account. for the benefit of mankind.
Thai; is the remedy; and the great- question
of the day, Union or half a dozen Republics,
prosperity or national ruin, depends upon the
sense andjustice of the people of the North to
stop this aggression upon the South, and
"change this whole policy of an irrepressible
conflict into a full recognition of the equal
rights of the States, and the strict observance
of the duties between the States, enjoined by
the Constitution. ‘7 o -

Speech of Caleb Bushing.
lion. Gulch Cushing delivered his great
speech, in accordance with the invitation of
the citizens of Newburyport, at that place on
Monday evening last, before an immense au
dience. We have only space for a few extracts.
Mr. Cashing commenced his address by stating
the country to bo in the midst of a. revolution,
and the South having taken {he initiatory steps
cannot. go' back unless induced by spirit and
acts of just. accommodation on the part of the
North. He then nsksz

* '3“ Can we do anything for the seem-fly
of ‘ike Union? Can we do anything to avert.
the dangers which threat-en it?
Alas! I repeat—alas, that such should be
the question of the hour—the question whether
it. be worth While to try to do anything—and
what. that anything may be, to preserve the
Union.
‘ The Union! The Union! How proudly have
not. col-hearts been accustomed to beat, as we
3 contemplate the Union—«tho glories of the
! career of those States before the Revolution,
; during it, after it'-ihat birth of our Union on
' the field of battlcmits baptism of blood in tho
1 arms of victory—its great achievement of in
‘ dependence—its upward rise into power and
fame—its overspreoding of this continent—its
lofty position of' youthful nationality by the
side of the highest. and greatest of the old
powers of Europe: '
The Union! How gratefully hare we not
regarded that noble work of our Fathers, by
f which we are not hostile foreign States, but a
} family of confederated Republics, without vex
l atious custom houses of impeded commercial
3 intercourse along our respective frontiers—
i without conflict- of commercial systems—4l4lll
free interchange of our respective productions,
; agricultural, mineral, marine or manufacturing
—-with right of passage from one to the other,
and of freely following the pursuits of industry
and happiness in either—with complete exemp
tion at. home fromall those horrors of local
war—in a word, specially privileged by our
federal organization from all the terrible draw
backs pn public and private prosperity—which,
meanwhile, wasted the resources anddestroyed
the power of all the rest of christcndom! The
Union! How delightedly have we not contem
plated that grand spectacle of the American
Constitution over-canopying our country, alu
minous firmament of sublimity and beauty,
filled with all beneficent emanation—causing
the wilderness to blossom as a garden and new
State after State to spring up under the light
and heat. of its radiance—so that by the acts
of peace, and the expansive lifehood of our
institutions, the New World seemed to belong
to us of right, and the name of Americans had
come to he ours alone, and rung on the can as
round and full as erer that- of Roman did in
the palmier days of the famousest civilization.
of the Old World
Such was the Union which our l‘athcrs es
t-nblished,—a Union founded on the cotter—stone
idea of the original independence and constitu
tional «equality of all the States,~—a Union for
the purpose of assuring each and all against
foreign aggression, but not less to assure all
and each in complete possession and full enjoy
meni of its own domestic rights, so as to retain
lens of religious conformity and compulsion,
like Massachusetts, or to repeal them, like Yir~
ginia-g so as‘ to legalize entail of land, like
Massachusetts, or to unlegnlize itiike Virginie;
so as to maintain self-labor like Virginia, or to
exclude it like Massachusetts. That was the
fundamental idea of the Fathers. Without
having the idea original, they never could have
created a Union,—wilhout adhering to that
idea. so long as they lived, they never could
have transmitted the Union to their sons.
It was left to degenerate sons of theirs to be»
gin to undo that great work which they had
not wisdom to comprehend or virtue to main—
tain in its pristine integrity and strengih.
Mr; Cushing then eloquently traces, step by
step, the origin and progress of that great. sec
lional party of the North, which has in a few
short years brought this once happy and united
nation to the verge of dissolution and civil war.
The sacred pulpit. has been infected with politi~
cal Aholitionism as With an epidemic plague.
Churches are distracted, divided and broken
up. Current liiemture has even 513811111911 a
morbid, jaundiced; foolish black hue. Politico]
power at the North can only he obtained by
pandering ‘0 this unconstitutional spirit. ‘ l
~_ M“ Gimm‘g ‘l‘“ Spoke ofthe authors of the ‘
inroads into the Southern States, honored and ‘
in some cases sanctified. . . l
Meanwhile, the expression at. the Norm of
the sentiment of opposition to slavery at the
South, has produced among the people of the
latter a sentiment of angry rejection of our
oflicious advice, where it is advice only, and of
still nngrier repulsion of it. where it passes
from advice 'to act, and becomes. according to
their belief, unconstitutional interference with
then-fights in the Union, Exhortation on the
one side ,producesretort on the oth or ; encroach
ment‘. on the one side leads to reprisnl and re
tortion on.the other; the innocent and the
guilty on both sides are o'onfoimded in. the
some fouling: .~,r rovipl‘fleffl condomnmion: we
thus wrong the South, and the South wrongs
the. North: fugitive slaves from thefiouth are
run off 01- rescued at. the North, and offensive
cm suspected white men from the North are
threatened or lynched at the South; States
scold at. one another from the gubernatorial
chair or the legislative halls, and at length
proceed to legislate against one another; and
so, finally, we become heated On both sides,
our blood is up, and all of a sudden we wake
to the perception of the fact that we no longer
have the common attachments of :L common
country; and then it is but it step-anuy, it is
but. an accident. of the error of some State, or
the madness or some individual man—which
separates us from civil war, revolution, con—
summated dissolution of the Union. ‘ '
To that. point. we have now arrived: and it
is a question of revolution. nothing else.
The-Republican party, advocating the idea.
of an “irrepressible conflict,” has inaugurated
this revolution, and to it must the glory be
attached.
Here, then, we stand, under the benign in
fluence of the Republican idea; in the midst of
a revolution, as I said in commencing, though
bloodless 'os yet; but who knows how many
weeks or days it will continue to be a bloodless
revolution? We stand for the moment in the
ruins of property, with cessation or curtailment
of the means of subsistence; dizzied- by the
overthrow of everything; our eyes blinded by
the rising dust and our ears confounded by the
crush of the sudden downfall of the edifices of
industry and commercial prosperity; and each
man busy in saving what he can of himself
from the general wreck. That will be for the
moment, but no longer. We must up, and col
lect our thoughts, and look around to see how a
great catastrophe may be prevented from be
coming greater, and whether after all there
may not be something for us to do, and suffi—
cient inducement for us to attempt to do some
thing- to avert or diminish the perils of the
Union.
In a strain of fervid and impassioned elo
quence the era-tor then advocated a return to
the spirit. and tenor of the Constitution, as
formed by our fathers, as the only escape from
this impending bloody crisis. He continued
speaking Lint-i 1 a. very late hour amid the deep
and earnest attention of his hearers.
A (huxnsn THEATRE—A Peep Behind (lie
Scenes-“ From the Chinese .vlla-il We clip the fol
lowing description of a, Chinese theatre, with
a. peep behind the scenes :
There is a large mat shed not-far from Jar
tline’s, spreading out in its brown ugly extent
from the sea. shore to the first boulders that
have been driven by the rains from the hills.
The Chinese hold. therein alarge‘sing-song pid
gin. The interior of the place, which presents
a. curious aspect of bamboo poles and shakey
galle’ies, is about. the size of the Ilaymarket
Theatre, in London. As the admission to the
pit or well of the house is gratis, it is crowded
with coolies or Chin'n- boys, who testify their
approbation by hoarse uncouth cries and un
musica-l laughter. The galleries or boxes, into
which one must paya- smsll sum for admission,
contains Chimimen of the wealthier classes,
who use their fans perpetuallgoin order to keep
their faces cool, and to drive liway the ill odor
constantly arising from the perspiring mass of
coolies below them. The scenic department is
not large; Mr. Beverly would not find much
employment in China. A couch, a. few lan
thorns, anda scroll, describing the play, is all
the furniture required in this hall of Thespis.
Scenery, dresses and appointments are left. to
the imagination of the audience, and inasmuch
as Chinese magnificence is not; greatly devel
oped among the poorer Hongkcngites, it is well
that. it is left so.
When I went in! of course wished to pay
my admission, but Chinese cirilty forbade; a
lot of (to me) unintelligible jnrgo‘n was poured
upon my wondering cars, which being inter—
preted, probably meant that the Theatre was
honored by the presence of an English gentle
man, and that they could not receive his hon~
orable money. Seating mysef on a stooll looked
for a. while at the play, which represented an
(Went which happened when China was out up
into small kingdoms and in a constant state of
turmoil. It was very dry, and the timely inter
vention of the police put a stop to the perfornn
once and to my impatience.
When the crowd had departed l mounted a
ladder that led to the stage, and went at once
behind the scenes. It was a most remarkable
sight, presenting about the appearance of a
prize cattle show, divided into small stalls,
each crowded not with beasts but human beings.
There they were, about nhuudred, some asleep
in their mosquito nets, some contorted over
their opium-pipes, some smoking, chow-chow
ing, or gambling; lying about in all positions,
thinking more of 'case than elegance, with here
legs new high above their heads, now twisted
in gordian knots, whereon the remainder of
the same carcass was seated, now stretched at
full length, forming a. pillow for n favored
friend. The actors were very hospitable, in—
viting me to partake of tea, opium and tobacco.
One produced a bottle ofpale ale. It was cri
deutly very old, quite sour, and spoiled. I de
clined to drink it, and begged the donor to do,
the some, as he might be ill after it.
He replied, quatfing down eglass, “ All En
glish things too much good, no have got. fear.”
I asked him who was manager, and he told me
there were four. “ Did they takemuch money ‘3”
“Oh yes, can do! have got lice, and opium,
whut for wentcheo more I” There was one
woman there. She said her husband had gone ,
away, far away, in a boot, and was very likely
not to come back, and on being asked was she
not sorry. answered. “ Suppossee he likey my,
can come catchee; supposee no likey, can
whiloe.“ ' She was very likely» the victim of
some marriage of convenience, in the hyways
of Hong Kong vanity fair, and had pledgedher
troth before she knew that the words 113 d left
her lips. Things like this happens on over the
world, but behind the scenes. .
There was no humbug among them ; all was
natural ; they showed you the dresses in which
the actors were dressed, and showed you the
actors. I did not. see the man who in a pointed
face represented the woman in the play, but,
every secret there was visible. There was
none of the mystery and hotbed vio‘e that is
sometimes found behind the Soenesin happier
lands. No awful whispers of how the young
and beautiful supernumeraries manage to;pay
house rent and live well on a. shilling a night;
on these bamboo platforms you could see the
life and character of your men, and went away
certain that. if you came back to-morrow all
would be just the some, all open to the sight,
nothing needing concealment. '

their contents have generally been anticipated
by our dispatches:
The safe return to England, after a long and
dangerous passage, of the Prince of Wales,
caused general :rejoicing. but the courtesies
shown him in the United States seem to have
touched most. deeply the English heart. All
the journals are unreserved in their acknow

they fully realize that in the honors paid here
to the heir apparent to the British throne, _our
democratic popoulation and their ofiicialrepre

to a kindred people and a. friendly nation.—

FAmn' ELLSLEB.—A letter to the New York
'f’imes,’ from Paris, contains the following :
anny Ellsler is now at Berlin, at. the bedside
ofn sick sister, wife of the son of Prince Adel
hert, of Prussia. The marriage of the young
Baron de Barnim. eldest sonrof the Prince
Adelbert, to Mlle. Therese Ellsler, sister of the
famous danseuse, and something of a. dameuse
herself, created a great sensation‘nt the time;
but. the union has been a happy one, and the
relatives long ago became reconciled. to the
pleheinn intruder. From this union wns born
one child, a son, whose bad health induced his
parents to send him, some months ago, to
Egypt, to' try the effect of the climate on his
lungs. But, like Rachel, he received no bene
fit, and has just. died in Nubia. The news
threw the mother on her. bed, and her 'sistor
Fanny hastened to her side to cousde. her in
the cruel loss. -
\"o'rx-BUYL\'G.—A rural friend sends us the
following anecdote of the recent election: In
the town; of V., in this county. an elector was
requested to go up’vsnd vote. “I am not fully
convinced which way I ought to vote,” replied
this high-minded patriot, “ What. willconvince
you ‘1” asked the other. “ About 55-5.” “ Well,”.
said the other, “ we are'not buying votes this
year, but seeing it; is you, here’s three and a.
two; put ’em intoyour pocket, vote and say
nothing.” He voted, and in ‘he evening oifered

Bonus FUGITIVE Shaves—Our State is ever
run with lazy, dishonest negroes, who find the
crednlity of the Abolitionists a. good cloak for
their propensities. Soorcely a week passes that
we do not meet with paragraphs in our exchan
ges detailing the operations of some member or
members of this class; and new we. have a. case
in point near home. It turns out that the des
perate negro burglar, who has been robbing
the houses of citizens, and firing upon them
when detected, covered up his crimes while
loitering on the other side of the river in the
day time; and was afi‘ordcd shelter, in at least.
one instance, by pretending that he was a fugi—

i THE weather-wise having predicted a severe
; Winter, the French bee-raisers are burying their
hives, as the most effectual method of preserving
the bees. For this purpose a trench is dog to
the depth of a. yard, 9. layer of gravel laid in
the bottom of the trench, a. table placed on the
gravel, and the hives range-don the table and
covered with straw on all sides. The trench is
then filled with earth, lightly shovelled in, and
the bees are left. to themselves until the return
of warm weather. It is essential to the health
of the bees that the spot selected for their burial
should be perfectly dry and clean, and removed
from the passage of men and animals.
One of the largest. cotton manufacturing cor

pend the purcha'se of cotton for the present.—
They have a. six months’ supply on hand ; and
the managers wisely conclude (says the Boston
Traveler) that. purchases can be made ere the
supply is exhausted at less than the present
prices. The Traveler adds : HWe understand
that our corporations generally have a three
months stock of cottOu, and the policy of discon
tinuing purchases in the present condition of
the money market will probably be generally
adopted.”

procure a, supply and be at once relieved.
