Conservative Riots.-
The following, from the Washington con-es
pendent of the New York Times,‘ spea ks for
itself:
Tho riot in Bostnn in land its efi‘ect here. Although
denounced as unlawful and disgraceful in the extreme
thCUnion men of the South use it freely as illustrative 0“
the anti-Abolition sentment of the North. Every one,
nearly, denounces the means employed by the rioters,
but applaud the motive which prompted the act.
If, instead of a hesitating, pettit‘ogging riot
against a few black and white men and women.
the people of Boston would give earnest of a.
purpose to execute the laws, they might make
some impression upon the Union men of the
South. It is not. yet forgotten that. the doors
of Fanueil Hall, which are now opened to the
black traitors and white mobs, were closed by
oraer of the city authorities 'against. Daniel
Webster, when he wiehed to speak in defence of
the Constitution and the laws.
Passengers Returning from the South.
Within the last few weeks, a. number of per—
sons, chiefly mechanics and laborers, who had
gone South for employment during the winter,
havereturned to New York, whence they started,
For some time several of the Republican papers
in New York insisted that these passengers
were repulsed from the South and Sent back by
force. But this allegation is denied officially
by the authorities of one or-more of the South
ern cities implicated. These authorities declare
that the reason of their return, was their in
ability to find work and that in some instances
these Northern visitors being destitute, were
charitably' supplied with funds to pay their
passage back. This we presume to 'be true,
and the truth only shows the wretched state of
things which has been precipitated by the
political feud between North and the South.
We have accounts ‘from New Orleans of a. con
dition of business afi‘airs there, which is de
plorable. Persons, who usually go Southward
during the winter to find employment, have
gone thither in win this year. Sew establish
ments there at this time are out of the question.
The derangement of business, and the financial
depression at the South generally, are facts not.
to be concealed. An Atlanta (GIL) corres
pondent of a New York paper, ivrites thus of
Georgia 2
Business in Macon remains depressed to an
extraorslinary dagree: Cotton accumulates
slowly in the warehouses at the rate of five to
seven hundredvbsles a day, but, not one 1,313
has been sold since Friday last, ,1“. more than
three or four hundred within a. fortnight. The
banks are afraid to discount cotton bills in the
face of the fact that their money comes right
back upon them. Planters, under a nervous
‘pprehension of the consequences of a general
political disturbance, turn their crops into gold I
end lay it any for future contingencies. It: .
this condition of afiairs, no relief is anticipated
until some of the extraordinary penalties for
suspension are removed from the banks.
From Savannah I hear even worse aceounte.
A letter from a President of a leading bank in
that city to-day, says that all business is suf
fering under a total paraliysis. Exchange can
be sold on no point, on cotton buyers have
been compelled to surrender back their pur
chases in the shape of bills of lading. He even
proposes. as a desperate expedient, the idea of
making small advances on planters’ cotton,
shipping it to Liverpool and returning them
theirmanufaetured supplies, and the remainder

-practicable. .
Beyond a doubt, unless some relief is had
“I? quickly, large amounts of mercantile

Others, whose credlt does not hinge so closely
upon putionlnr dates, may console themselves
with the reflection that, let money here be as
source as it mey, it must be ultimately forth
coming for the cotton. The cotton must be had,
and in due time it will be bought and sold, if
the goldhu to. be brought across the Atlantic
for thetpurpose. , .

sissippi writes that while the Congressional
delegation of that State are diverting them
selves by meeting to devise disunionist schemes 7
the planters and men of business are c'oncerting
measures to be laid before the Legislature, in
the hope of averting the famine which is now
imminent. If relief be not afforded, he adds,
by lst February, there will not be found enough
in the State to feed the slaves, and the possible
consequences are appalling to contemplate.—
We are led to believe that the condition of other
i cotton States—Alabama, Georgia and South
Carolinn—is not much better than that of Mis~
sissippi, though in the present fierce political
excitement this really much more vital matter
is overlooked.
No doubt some visitors from the Northern
States have been turned back from dislike of
their principles. Just now there is much ex-'
asperation, South, on account of Lincoln’s
election, and any man there known or believed
to be an anti—slavery sectionalist fares badly,
especially if there has been anything in his
course which favors the supieion that he has
taken up with anti-slavery, not because he
loves the negroes but because he hates the
South. 'ljhat such persons should be warned
ofi‘ is not surprising. Indeed, there has sprung
up at the South against the North on animosity
such as the Helper’s Crisis was to infuse into
the Northern mind against _the South. We see
evidence of this in many public acts, and in
the tone of Southern journals, which have been
hitherto opposed to the firecsters, and, as a
general thing, very moderate. Among these
evidences is the following article from one of
last week’s issues of the‘New Orleans Bulletin,
3. paper which supported Bell and Everett:
Tm: RIGHT Course—We learn that the Di
rectors of thc_Public Schools of the Fourth Dis
trict have declined to receive applications, or
to entertain them, for teacherships from gen—
tlemen recently from the North. They have
had several of late from persons from New
York, Vermont, etc., but have considered it
their duty to infarct the applicants that under
existing circumstances their applications cannot
be entertained. Now, .rre are free to admit
that this rule may seem harsh, and in some
individual cases would be unjust, because it
might operate against those who in the North
have maintained the rights of the South and
opposed the crusade against her; but notwith
standing this, it does seem to us that necessity
and the principles of sclf~defence justify the
general rule, with perhaps here and there an
exception founded upon considerations above
hinted at. We trust, therefore, that the rule
which the Directors of the Public Schools of
Fourth District have adopted, in practice if not
by formal resolutions, will be acted upon by
the Directors of all other Public Schools in the
city, and as far as practicable, throughout the
State. It is founded upon the principles of
self-defense, and while we regret most sincerely
that circumstances make it. our duty to act
upon such a rule, we are compelled to think
that. it is our duty, and that we should perform
it. We are free to admit that the rule is
founded upon the principle of retaliation and
for the purposes of self-defense. The fanatics
of the North have never thought of the proc
tical'efi‘ects of their conduct, or that it could
have any practical efl’ect upon (Item.

tronage to Southern books or papers, they

ence to Southern clergymen, etc., etc. Very
well. That. is a two-edged sword, and can out
both ways; and if we are not absolutely sim
ple, we shall hereafter make it out both ways.
From the foregoing statements, it is easy to
see why passengers going South for employ—
ment find none awaiting them there. The state
of things is bad enough now. What can be

LETTER 11150.1( WASHINGTON.
- _._... ‘ .__.
Correspumlence of the Patriot and Union
WAsme-rox, Dec. 7, 1860.
The intensity of feeling manifested on all sides,
by all classes of persons in this city, is such as
has never before been witnessed. In 1850, when
the state ofthe country-celled for the exercise of
the highest order of intellect and patriotism, there
was, of course, mneh interest manifested by all
classes then resident. or sojourning at the capital
of the Union; but I am told by those who were
here at that period, that no such apprehensions for
the safety of the Union as are now entertained
were then thought of. Never before has this conn.
try been called upon to pass through such u trying
ordeal as the present, because at no former period
in our history have the people of the South been so
much exasperated. Every en‘ort that can be made
by the patriotic and Union—loving men of the
North, whose position hero gives weight and in.
fluence to their wise suggestions,nt this moment of
peril to the best, the clearest interests of the na
tion, is being made.
Prominent among those men we find Senator
Bigler, of Penneylrnnia, who is laboring day and
night, with his brother Senators, to accomplish
some plan by Which the win that threatens us can
or may be averted, and the Union preserved. Va
rious plans have been suggested at various times
since the meeting, of the present session. The
Southern Senators are in favor of tt Southern Con
vention, whilst Senators Bigler, Pugh, of Ohio,
Pearce, of Maryland, Bright and Fitch, of Indi
ana, and a few others, are in favor of a general
Convention: of all it", saws, for the purpose of so
amending the Constitution as to P“t at ""5 ““3
slavery question by some provision in the funda
‘mental law of the land that will take this vexed
question out of politics forever. For instance, one,
plan is to amend the Constitution by incorporating
:zfiszzzpéamises fr iszn, commonly called one
Ompromxse, into the Constitution, which
WW"? be Satisfactory to the South as far as it goes.
i?“ m addition to this: ‘0 recognize the institu
“°“ “male” “‘l‘" it Mists by the Constitution,
‘3“! I“ 3" be‘ “ntrolled South of the Missouri
Compromise lmu by the same laws that control
other property. For the Northern States to ropeal
all laws now on their statute hooks inimical to the
faithful carrying out ‘of the fugitive slave law in
i the Northern States, and in all respects the sweep].
of the Northern State- to retreat in good faith
every proeiéion'of the Constitution of the Unit“
States, without reg-it’d 36 the questions, ofmord low
‘ thst may be ruined by “I. fanatical in any section
1 of the Union; Third i! Milling in the foregoing
programme that is not strictly right and proper,
I to which every good citizen would say yes. and
amen. Another plan is to remonstuct a republic
} out of the Southern States andflsuch States as will
agree to the new compact, under the Constitution
of the United States as it is—regarding the South
ern construction of the present Constitution as the
true construction of that instrument—but leaving
out of this new compact the New England States
—-and that these States adopt a Constitution to
i suit themselves.
{ It is well known that the present Constitution
does not suit the New Englanders. Therefore, there
seems much force in the idea that inasmuch as they
are the agitating Status of this Union, that they
should be permitted to form just such a. Constitu
tion as they please for themselves. It seems to me
that the New England States cannot object to this
proposition ; and therefore if it is adopted, it will
not only prevent a. disruption of the Union, but the
Constitution now in existence will be preserved in.
tact. all our laws and institutions under the Con
i stitution will be preserved to the people who are
1 satisfied with those laws and institutions ; and the
3 intermeddling, restless, unsatisfied, domineering,
fanatical Yankees will have the sloth!" privilege
or either going over to Canada by annexation or
forming such a oonfederacy as will suit their whims
and caprices, whether politically or morally. They
would then be rid of those thieves, robbers, and mur
derers who trajic in slaves, as they delight to do.
nounce the people of the Southern States, until
they have brought the country to the very verge of
ruin. '
The people of Pennsylvania would willingly con
sent to this proposition I feel certain ; because
they are satisfied with the present Constitution, and
will be willing to abide by all its provisions and
teachings. This latter proposition of letting New
England adopt. a new confederacy and a new Gon
stitution for herself is the thought of one of the
wisest and most sagaeious men of the Nation, whose
whole life has been spent in public, and. in the dis.
cussion of political economy. It has the merit of
novelty as Well as good sense to recommend it to
the thinking men of this country, and should be
received by all such with that gravity that becomes
the solemn occasion that suggested it.
It is time that the people would take hold of this
question of disunion and speak out upon it em
phatically, so that those who are in power may
know the will of the people on this important and
all-absorbing subject before it is too late. It is
feared that the masses of people throughout
Pennsylvania and elsewheredo not fully realize
the critical position of the country at this moment-
Dcpsnd upon it, they are slumbering over a. vol.
cello that may open its yawning mouth and engulf
them are long. '
There is much indignation manifested by all
classes of people here against Senator Hale, of New
Hampshire, for his intemperate and highly imprn.
dent speech, a few days ago, on the floor of the ‘
Senate. Such is the intense nature of the feeling,
that I confess I would not like to he hath; position I
of the Senator from New Hampshire, if that feel- 1
ing grows much stronger. The people are becoming l
desperate, and consequently dangerous. In times :
like these men should not tempt the forbearance of 1
the populace too far. “There is a point beyond
which endurance ceases to be a virtue and tolera~
tion a crime.” .
To-dny the Northern Democratic Senators are
informally in caucus on the question of the condi—
tion of the country. Mr. Speaker Pennington, of
the House of Representatives, has proven himself
unworthy of the high post to which he has been
elevated, by the selection he has made of at least
one member of the Committee, under Mr. Boteler’s
resolution. I mean the selection of Henry Winter
Davis, of Maryland. He has not only outraged
the State of Maryland, whose representativg it is
notorious Davis is not, save by fraud and violence
that would disgrace any other man but. H. Winter
Davis, but he has by this not turned the most sol
cmn and momentous question ever presented to the
American people into a. mockery. Pennington and
Davis are alike denounced by every man you meet
-—the one for his stupidity and imbecility, and the
other for his crimes against the rights of the peo
ple of Maryla‘nd and the. elective franchise. Un—
less the DemocraticSenatcrs agree upon some ba
sis of re-union and compromise, which will be
acquiesced in by the conservative Republican
Senators, there is no hope of anything conning from
a committee composed of such men as H. Winter
Davis, of Maryland, the Robespiere of modern
thngism in the city of Baltimore.
The Putnam Phalanx are still here, and appear
to enjoy themselves. They paraded yesterday fore
noon, and today they were reviewed by the Presi
dent of the United States in front of the While
House. Last night the citizen soldiery of Wash
ington city gave the Phalanx a ball 5 which is said
to have been quite a recherche and unique afi‘air.
Much has been said and written on the subjec
of the new President’s Cabinet, and some gentle
men have been so far in advance of “all the world
and the rest of mankind,” on that important sub-'
joct, that they have been kind enough to publish
the names of the gentlemen who are to form the
new Cabinet. *
Some of these writers have even said that Gen.
Cameron, of Pennsylvania. is an applicant for a
seat in the new Cabinet. This is not correct. Gen.
Cameron is not only not an applicant for a Cabinet
appointment, but he will not be. He would not
seek a place in the Cabinet under any circum
stances ; because heis satisfied with the high posi—
tion he now holds, and esteems it as saflicient to
satisfy his ambition. If Gen. Cameron ever does
take a seat in Lincoln’s Cabinet, it must beat the
solicitation of the President, and in accordance
with the wishes of his political friends in Pennsyl
vania, and not at the end of a contest with any
other asptrant for a Cabinet appointment.. We
feel warranted in asserting this fact, that there is
but one place in the Cabinet that Gen. Cameron '
could be induced to accept—and that is the Tree
sury Department, which he might be induced to
accept, because of his devotion to the tarifi‘ ques
tion that is so intimately connected with that De
partment ; but we know that be neither seeks nor
desires any position under the new President. i
Then let all those gentlemen who are-so anxious to l
enlighten the public on this subject be perfectly '
easy on the score of Gen . Cameron’s aspirations for i ‘
a scat in the new Cabinet; those who are appli. l
oants for such places need not trouble themselves ,
about the General being in their way~for we can
assure all such that , !

Wheeling Intelliqmzcer says :———A singular fune
ral, and a. still more singular burial, took place
up in our neighboring town of Washington,
Pennsylvania, last Wednesday. Patrick Bry
eon and his wife were interred in the same
grave. They were an old couple—he 94, and
she but few years his junior. He died on Sun
day night, and she on Tuesday; and the corpses
of both were lifted and carried in the same
funeral train, to the same grave, and then com
mitted to “the dustfrom whence they sprang,”
side by side. They had lived together, as man,
and wife, for sixty-six years, coming from Ire
land soon after their marriage. They had re
sided in the town of Washington for sixty.five
years, and hadvmie'ed a Large family, and seen
Washington rise from u withernese to what. it is’
new. They were-plain, ‘go'od, quiet, old-rub

of life together, and continued through the
noonlide to its close.

A Dunno L wren.-—Van Arman, the lead

voree trial no in progress in Illinois, is a man
of rare abilititjr. He is the gentleman who, a
few years ago,[cleared, at Detroit, a woman on
trial. for the mprder of her husband. It was
charged that $319 administered poison in small
cakes, three 0 ‘ which he ate during his speech
before the Jury?- It is said that the jurors were
not fairly in their room before he rushed out
of the building, and threw from his stomach
the poison. lie knew that while a small dose
would kill, Merge dose would not as an emetic.
Mr. Van Arman was counsel in the case of
Jumpertz, for fthe murder of his mistress, at
Chicago, st year or two ago. Though Jumpertz
was poor and without friends, Van Arman (le
voted himselfl to the defence with untiring
energy and title cost to himself of many hun

Arman moved'for a new triel,which was or

for the execution sndin sight of the condemned
man, and on tile new trial Arman succeeded in
making the j _ry believe he was innocent, and
they accordinély acquitted him.
(human): hr Hamm—The Gazette (Ii Torina
gives us some particulars of Garibaldi’s loud
ing in his little island home: “ Garibaldi,” it
says, “has a ived at Coprera. He appears
extremely he py ; in the first place, because he
has resigned e management of afi'airs at No.-
ples into the ends of the King galantuomo ;
secondly, becsuse he is finally free from the
numberless petitions with which he was pes
tered. He splenks with enthusiasm of his re

So eager was he Dictator to be free from the
