The Abolitionists have proved to be

by their ill-judged interference. Every

uniformly extended, is now with

DANGER or MoBs.--One of the
greatest dangers to be apprehended from
the frequency of mobs, arises from the
fact, that people who have much at
stake would rather trust TO a strong 90
vernment that could protect them and
their property. than encounter the
risk of losing all by the reign OF anar-
chy. The class Of persons in all despo-
tic countries. who fill the ranks of
standing armies, is the rabble, that is.
the Class who make mobs and riots,
and the natural course of things when
they get too strong, is for the rich in
self defence to enlist n part Of them
IN order TO keep down the rest. The
alliance between The very rich and the
poor is much closer than people gener-
ally imagine. How could a handful
OF noblemen and gentry in Russia,
Austria, Prussia, Spain and Portugal.
maintain their aristocratic aseendency.
but by buying up the rabbles What
would they be without standing ar.
mies' We do not run the same risk
IN this country, Of such an issue, but
the time may come. when like causes
will produce like effects.

waiting more than week for some of
the Baltimore editors to give us an ac-
count OF the capture of a whale in the
upper waters of the Chesapeake, which
took place as far back as the 18th of Au-

Capt. Parker's limited knowledge Of the
process of procuring it, eighteen bar

to Fredericksburg and sold. What

IL Is proposed in some OF the Virginia
papers 10 celebrate in a manner and
form corresponding to its magnitude,
the commencement Of the great line OF
improved communication. to that state.
which is to connect the Ohio river and
the Chcsapc AXE Bay, through the val
leys OF the James and Kanawha rivers.
The Charleston (Kanawha) Banner,
suggests, thata Convention Of the citi-
zens should be held at some suitable
point between Richmond and Lynch
burg and adds:
Let Mr.. Madison. the most suitable
person now remaining among US, be
brought down in his carriage TO strike
the first spade, and pronounce his bless
ing on the good work. Let Chapman
johnson, the steady and powerful friend
OF this improvement, through evil and
good report and the Ajax who bore its
sinking interest in triumph through the
last Legislature, address the multitude
and animate all to diligence and untir-
ing effort, until the whole shall be com
pieted. Let there be bonfires and illu
limitations along the whole line, from
Richmond TO the OHIO, and a general
jubilee, as if at the birth OF a new ma
ton.

The following expression Of opinion was
made by the late John Randolph, after his re-
turn from Russia. lie was well qualified To
compare the slaves Of our own land with the
lower classes in other countries, for he had
seen, for himself, the serfs Of Russia and the
haif-s,arved laborers Of England.
IL pronounce fearlessly, that the
slaves of Virginia and the Carolinas,
are the best forrest class that know in
the world. The Scotch are the ONLY
people that can enter into competition
with them. They (the slaves) are bet
ter clad, fed, and labor hess than any
other iaboring population in the world.
More free from vice, more tractable;
and where the master does his duty,
not improbable. And these are the
people that fools and and fanatics want
10 be rid Of"

By the following. il appears that the yir-
GINA Gazetteer has becn published:
We have received the Gazetteer
OF Virginia" published by Mr.. Joseph
Martin, Of Charlottesville. lis neatly
printed on plain type and good paper,
and comprises $50 pages octave.
From the hasty examination VIC
have given the work we regard IL as
amongst the most valuable and desirable
books which could be offered to a vir-
gilman. The articles we have read are
generally well prepared; and consider
ing the difficulties Of the undertaking,
the information embodied is as extern
sive and particular as could reasonably
be expected. The publisher certainly
deserves much at the hands Of his fell
low-citizens, for his interchangeable ex-
ertions in getting out the work. Ifim-
projections attach 10 il, still much has
been secured TO the public by his la
bors--and rather more than could well
have been expected from an effort of
individual enterprise. We sincerely
hope, therefore, that the small edition
which has been printed-scarcely suffi-
cient to depray expenscs-will be taken
up speedily by generous public.
