ALARMING.

A well formed and extensive plan to aid the
negroes in running away from their masters, wa
detected in Boone county, on Thursday of last
week. 1t appears that some abolitionisls from
ICincinna had visited the negroes in the fields,
and induced them to enter into agreement that
they would run away from their masters on Sa-
turday night last--the abolitonsts promising 10
receive them on the other side of the river, and
send them To Canada.
negro woman near Florence, who was taken
sick on Thursday, and who was fearful her hus-
band would 90 without her, told her master of the
arrangement, and informed him that all the ne.
groes between Florence and Covington, had agreed
70 run away on Saturday night The alarm was
immediately given, and thus the intentions Of the
negroes were defeated. Six negroes, however,
whose master lives off the road, between Flo
renee and Covngon, and who did not hear OF
the plot, made their escape, and are probably
ere this in Canada.
On searching the negro quarters i'll the neigh
borhoods around, it appears every preparation
had been made for their journey. Stolen goods
were found packed up with their clothes, and
other things were brought to light which showed
that the plan was well arranged and extensively
entered into, and would have been effectually car
ried into execution, had it not been fortunately
dvulged by the sick negro woman.

! We inform our respected friend and coadjutol
of the National Banner, that in regard to the arti
Gle which we copied from the Banner. and re-co-
pied from the Spectator, without giving credit to
the former, to which it was due, and which he is
generous enough TO attribute to our ''cuteness,"
as scheme Of policy, it was an inadvertence con-
sequent on a treacherous memory.
We are, however, always ready to acknowledge
our faults and make amends. We therefore award
great credit the Spectator for endorsing the ar
cle and still greater to the Banner for originating
it, ..~
If the editor hold us accountable for every de-
falcation in this behalf, we apprehend he will es-
tablish our reputation plaigiarist be it so, we
aver the absence Of intention. We may justly
envy, but would not designedly rob him of his
we-earned merit.

The following extract is from the Philadelphia
Ledger The President Of the United States,
for his proclamation warning our citizens against
interfering in the Canada difficulties contrary to
the neutrality and the pighted faith Of the nation,
has fallen under the censure and condemnation
of that paper, which says it is an extraordinary
document" Is it not more extraordinary that,
in view of all the proceedings had in reference to
this revolutionary enterprise, and the unwarranta-
BILE conduct of the leaders in it, those who
ought to stand up for the honor and character of
their country, and to wish the Chief Magistrate
not to pursue course equally opposed to policy
and principle, should thus manifest their ignorance
of the one and their destitution of the other, by
unjustiiiabe an attack on a measure SO imperi-
ously called for? These opinions are entertained
gence Of respectable standing and extensive cir
culaton. The signs of the times are portentous,
and calculated to weaken our confidence in the
stability of our institutions.
"THE PRESIDENTS PRoc cLAMATIoN- is an ex-
traordinary document. The President officially informed
that citizens making Military preparations
within our own territory against a hau0n with WnouL
we are at peace, bound 10 issue his proclamation,
calling upon all citizens to abstain from such proceedings
But why should he issue such procanation! Because
such military preparations violate an act OF Congress, aud
treaty foreign nation, both OF which are laws OF
the Union; and TIE President, the executive Of the
Federal Government, is bound to enforce the laws But
here his duty ends He is bound to speak in reference
to our own laws but farther All reference to the
causes Justice of foreign quarrel In which American
citizens evnce disposition to engage, or to the rights,
wrongs OF either OF the cohtendug parties, IS
supererogaiory, and therefore wrong.
Has the President Kept within these Limits! We think
not He has travelled OF his appropriate path to ex
press his individual opinion upon tue character OF the
contest and the OF the insurgents. With these
points the Executive has Tor whether the Ca
nadans are right wrong, or able or unable to effect
their object he has official right OF Judsment between
them and the British Government Ii they feel oppress
ed and able break their chains no foreign functionary
has right to tell them, officially, that their govern
ment is just that they too weak to contend against
it. This is that very interference between the bege
rent parties which the President orbids in Americas
citizens. We admit that his interference consists merely
in expression opinion. But this, being deviation
from his appropriate province inconsistent with his
prohibition OF the thing TO American citizens; tor
by orbng all countenance TO the Canadians. he forbds
my expression oil opinion in their favor Then ii the
President cannot express his opinions upon such points
officially, his expression oil them IN an ohcal document,
If not usurpation, is somewhat indecorous'

Ca" by Rafnesque, is a recherche subject, and
is handled with all the ability due to such an
undertaking; the antiquarian will doubtless read
II with the highest g.lsto.
There is also another well written article up
on the subject Of the fine arts, with an account
of that chef d'guvre OF Grecian -ulpture, the
LAGOON. Forthe lovers ofart, these descriptions
possess much interest, by presenting to the mental
vision that scope, which in this country, the real
cannot supply. The Penny Magazine Of 1882,
has an excellent essay upon the same subject,
and likewise well executed drawing of the
figures. The unpretending name OF this modest
work causes gentle twitch of the conscience
for having passed in forgetfuness book devoted
so much to the sphere of usefulness compa-
ratively cheap price adapted to the humblest
purse, and the valuable information it contains,
demanded for it an earlier consideration Bat as
it is in the world, unassumiug merit is olten.ne-
elected, while pompous or clustering exhibition
wins the day Besides these periodicals. we have
before us the Delaware Register for the last
month--a sedale and valuable work; I.ittell's
Museum, with rich gleanngs, and the Ladies'
Garland, an appropriate companion for either
sex; and of all which, we should speak as they de-
serve, if we were not pressed for time. .

A New York paper gives an account of some
young wings Of one of the wards Of that city
who in salu.ing Mr.. Brdsall by the firing o
cannon, shattered the glass out of the windows
of Mr.. Cambreleng's house, which was on the
opposite side Of the street from Mr.. BIS. 1t is
perhaps hard to say whether the saluters intended
more to honor Mr.. B. or mortify Mr.. G.. IL the
after, it was ignobe exultation over wounded
adversary. Instead Of the window sash, they
,ught to have relieved Mr.. G. of his panes.

We regret very much to see by the last num-
Der of the Northern Statesman, (Maine,) that
that was the end of its existence, for want Of pa
tronage. The sober-mndsd and strictly moral
tone of this journal ought to have ensured it,
especially under the circumstances as explained
in an appeal to the public by its editor, an ample
support; and the fact Of its failing 80 receive
such support argues unfavorably for the moral
character of the community among which it was
circulated.
True, it was party paper, but i. certainly was
free from that scurrility and abuse which unfor-
tunately too often characterzes the papers Of the
day; nor could this be urged against it by the
party agreeing in politics with the editor. Per-
haps they may have considered themselves SO
strong as to be independent of the aid Of the
press. Still the audable desire to be informed
of the current news, is sufficient reason why
that paper should have been sustained.
Opposing parties are perhaps inseparable from
all governments, and probably indispensable in
republics like ours. 1t is, however, greatly to
be wished that they were destitute Of that bitter
ness and malignity which, to their shame and the
disgrace Of humanity, frequently bring them into
furious quarres and deadly conflict.
1t must be mortifying to the editor who pur-
sues manly course, and labors assiduously in
making his press, what it should be the duty Of
all to make it, the guardian Of public morals, the
organ Of truth, the instrument Of justice, and
the medium Of useful knowledge, to see his pros
poets blighted and his exertions unrewarded, un-
appreciated while many whose sheet is devoted
to cant phrases, anecdotes and frivolities-not
only useless, but pernicious-meet with liberal
support-to say nothing about such papers as
incucate principles destructive Of the best inter-
ests Of men in this world and that to come.

He then examines the quesion--how far these

of the Banks OF the city Of New York to resume
