THE NORTIH AND THE SOUTH.
There is a nervousness at the South, a very sil
ly sensitiveness, on the subject of slavery=—which
rans into every thing, and makes jealonsy a prom
inent (rait of Southern character, as it appears to
us at the North. From the exhibitions of this
nervoas jealonsy, or jealous nervousness, or what
ever else it may be called, which come under our
observaiion, we judge that Southern men but im
perfectly understund Northern character, and are
thewselves altogether too sectional and narrow
minded in the view they take of political matters
and the movements of political men. They
imagiue, or seem to imagine, that the South has
been erowded, almost ont of the Union; crushed,
in her enterprise and interests, by Northern in

But weare getting from our purpose, which

North, are unfounded and unjust. We quote
from a speech lately delivered in St. Lonis, by the
Hon. Thomas H. Benton, whose position on the
question of extending slavery into our territories
has lately brought him, to some extent, in contact
with the slave interest. In the exyguct which we
give, he takes a rational view of the gorlh, and pre--

endorse what he says of the good faith of Northeru
legislators, butadd the expression of our honest.

been a fundamental statement, made to excite the

ed 1o excite insurrection among the slaves, The
Northern States have not any of them voted or
endeavored to destroy or abolish slavery in the
States. There were a few wen in the &orlhem
States who would do this if they could. But
these were only a lew, and they met with no en--
couragement from the people of their own State.
A great majonty in every Northern State dis
countenanced it. They were in favor of restrict

with itin the Swutes. They considered they had
no power to do this. ‘T'hey disavow all uterfer.

The free Stes have a majority of forty in the
House of Representatives, and connting Dela -

what has been their legislation ?
The Plate country, which was formerly free
territory before it was a part of our State, haw
been added to it and made slave territory by Nor.
thern votes. Texas, which we had given away,.
was recovered again by Northern votes, and, by
this act we had an addition of territory suflicient
to form seven large slive States. Florida waw
lately made a Siate by Northern votes, and anoth-..
ed lurge slave Siate adinitted into the confederacy..
And this Stite, Florida, now forms one of the
four States of the Southern confederacy on which
they rely to destroy the Union. Missouri, to which
Northern votes gave a large addition of slave ter
ritory, i« also one of the four. By these additions
the slave addition of the country has been doubled,
and that has been done by Northern votes.
Nor is this all for which the slave States are in
debted for Northern votes. Since I have been in
Congress, the Indians have been removed from
Missonri, Georgia, Florida and from nearly every
slave State, their lands parchased by Northern
votes for white slaveholders, and now inhabited by
them. When I was in the Platte country last sum

NEW YORK ELECTION.
Taking into consideration the fact that we had
Jnst about nothing at all in New York Siate one
year ago, and the other fuct, that six months ago,
our party was in complete contusion, und wehave
done well—nobly, It can no longer be doubted
that the State is Democratic by a very large ma
jority, and thatonly a more perfect union is want
ed to give the reins of goverument into the hands
ol our friends,
It s impossible to sny, as yet, which party has
‘achieved a trinmph. The largest Whig vote is
larger, probably, than the lirgest Democratic vote,
but it is yet probable that a portion of both State
Tickets lius been elected. This was the resalt
several years ago when the Anti-Renters voted
for some candidates on each ticket, and as they
have done the same ihing now, we incline to the
belief that their eandidates have been successful,
and that fonr Whigs and four Democrats are elec
ted. The following candidates were voted for by
them :
Sceretary of State~Christopher Morgan, Whig
Comptroller,—Washington Hunt, Whig.
Judge of Appeals,—Freeborn G. Jewett, Dem.
Attorncy General,~Levi 8, Chatfield, Dem.
Treasurer,—Alvah Hont, Whig.

Canal Commissioner,~Frederick Follett, Dem.
luspector of State Prisons,—Darins Clark, Dem.

Kickixa mueir ows Beprentows.—The cor
respondent of the New York Tribune, at Wash
ington—one of the *“ Swiss corps"—writes to Mr.
Greeley :
There has been a good deal of stir here by mev
eral oflicials of the Philade!plia custom-house, who
visited Washington a day or two since. Mr.
Lewis's course has given great dissatisfaction
(whether justly or not 1 do not pretend to ventnee
even an opinion) to a large portion of the Whige
‘ of the city of l'hilad«}phin: and to day [ was in
formed by a \Whig of that eity who had signed the
rewonstrance, that an application would be made
to the Senate for his rejection as collector, that
now had npwards of three thousand Whig signa
tures o it. . Unless there is the strongest reason
for such an effort. I trust the matter will not be
carried into exeention : bnt that such is now the
design of many prominent Whigs of the city and
county of Philadelphia, does not admit of a doubt.
Thus Whiggery is sickening of its own medi
cine. Ittook two or three months for Old Zack ’
to make a selection from amongst the candidates |
for collector at Philadelphia, and after all, itseems
he got the wrong man. Luckily he can excuse
himsell' by saying that he voted for somebody else
~for a defeated applicant—in the minority, as
usnal.
l The charge bronght against Mr. Lewis is a fun
'ny one. Itis not that he interfered with elee
’ tions—for this he was required to do ; he was tax
ed to the amount of $3OO, and paid up promptly ;
'but he tried to be a leader, where he ought to
'lm\’o been only a follower ; he tried to make a
“majority out of only a minority—and failed. This
was the worst ofit. It he had succeeded—if his
clique had triumphed—he wonld have been * the
most popular collector Philadelphia ever had”—at
least in Whig esteems. But he failed, and then.
very foolishly, he got mad. He even went so fur
as 1o turn men out of office, whom the Whigs say
he had appointed for the purpose of influencing
their votes, but whose obstinacy defeated his
plans. The rwillain ! as Mr, Pickwick would say.
He ought to be ducked for his impudence in at
tempting to imitate his masters in the cabinet.
Now supposing thatthis I'ribune correspondent
tells the truth—which is hardly a supposable case,
we admit—and what shall we say * lls it the da
ty of a Democratic Senate to meddle with the
matter, or take any notice of this Whig petition
or protest, with the three thousand names attach
ed? Who cares—what Democrat cares—wheth
er Mr. Lewis was in favor of or opposed to, this
or that partienlar movement of the majority of his
party in Philadelphia ! Who cares whether he
preferred this or that course toward the Free Soil
ers or the Native Americans, or the Girard trus
tees, or the old Mayor’s cligne 1 He appoints
only Whigs to office ; who cares whether he takes
them fromn this or that faction? If any one of his
oflicers should turn out to be a Democrat, we
should expect that he would be discharged, and
should make no fussaboutit; any petition in re-.
lation to it would not be taken notice of. We
should set it down as a political movement which
we had a right to expect, and which nobody had
a right to complain of. Why should not a Dem
ocratic Senate do precisely the same thing in this
case? What have we to do with, Whiggery's

the fire on Friday night. A watelman by the
name of Chambers, attempted to arrest » fireman
by the name of Groves—a member of Oeean Co.
No. 7, and avery peaceabils man. we are tuld—
becanse he was singing rather loader tham the
watchinan deemed necessary. While some words,
growing ont of the aitempt 1o arress, were passing,
wme one threw a bottle which bit the watehmaw,
~vherenpon he ruised his cane and strock Groves
vsevere blow over the head. Groves was felled
0 the ground and the Lluod run profusely. Of
ourse the members of his company could net
dand this in ealiness. They immediately, started
br the watchiman, and some of tieir number
thocked him down and so severely beat him that,
Or a day or twe, it was by no menns certain that
he would outlive his injuries. "Phe corse of the
firemen in thus taking the law Ito their hawds was
unjustifiable, but not mere ontrageons. if the stte.
wents we have Lheard are trne, thuu that of the
watchman, who provoked the assanlt upou himselt’
by committing one, withous cause, npou anether,
