meet At the hitf sulphur Springs, on the 20h OF

For our own parts we arr satisfied thai the Wings

U- The Abolitionists of the North, under the
guidance Of Garrison, Tappan s. co. have lately
been attempting to inundate the South with their
seditious and incendiary publications, through
the agency of the General Post office. Great
excitement previls at present in Charleston and
its vicinity in relation to large quantity of abo
lition papers which were lately seized in the
Post Office at that place. II cannot but be obyi-
Gus TO every rejecting mind, that unless some
thing be done 10 prevent the mischicyous de.
signs Of these fanatics from being carried into eff
feet, the day is not far distant when the people
OF the South, will be driven TO the necessity Of
taking up arms. in accordance with the first law
OF nature. and defend themselves from the dan.
ger which is now threatening 10 involve the
whole South in one common ruin. Under the
the false cloak of philanthropy these meddlers
are engendering state Of things, which, if not
checked in their course will fill every town and
hamlet in the country with mourning. The people
OF the south cannot be too vigiant ia their cxer-
ertions TO counteract the operations Of these en-.
emies to their welfare, who are using every ex-
ertion and strainipg every Lerye to light up a.

cannot but end In bloodshed, if persisted in for
any length Of time,

On Tuesday night last, an attempt was
made on the life Of Mrs. THcRToN, ofthls
city, (the much respected widow OF the
late DR.. THoRETos, Superintendent OF
the Patent Oifice,) by Negro man, her
slave, which. from the expressions he u
sed, was evidently induced by reading the
intlammatory publications referred to a

dead OF night, Mrs. rs chamber. in which
slept herself, her aged mother, and a wo-
man servant, was entered by the Negro,
who had obtained access 10 il by forcing

had been strengthened by the presence OF

and who had also been reused by Mrs Us

the arrival of two constables. and hearing
their voices as they entered the passage in

approached The house by the rear. the
Negro would have been arrested; but. as
it was, he escaped and has not yet been

he was endeavouring to force second en-

most ferocious threats, and uttering It's.

Finding themselves thwarted in their attempt
at Johnson's, the word was passed through the
rioters To Glcnn,s, to Glenn's"-and 10 TWEEN
