Intended reroh Of Siares.-The following are the
particulars of the contemplated revolt of the slaves in
those parts of Louisiana and Mississippi bordering on
the river. The news created some sensation at New
Orleans, particularly it exaggerated in its re-
petition.
The overseer of the plantation Of Robt J. Barrow.
OF West Feiciana, having occasion to arise from his
bed late in Of the hot nights heard what he
believed to be negroes conveTslng in of the quar-
ters On silently approaching the vicinity and listen
ing, he overheard two of the slaves discussing the
subject OF rising against the whites. This led to
the examination the next morning of the two fellows,
when they confessed the fact and gave information
that led to the arrest OF several others The alarm
was immediately spread abroad, arrests made in
various plantations and it was found by the confess
sons that they all agreed in the main facts that there
to be general rise, and that the first of August
was the day agreed upon.
white man, carpenter, who had lately done a
job of work for MIR. Barrow, also arrested
picion, and examined. He said he had nothing to do
with the plot-that he had never said any thing to the
negroes on the subject, but acknowledged that they
frequently spoke to him. and informed him all about it,
1 his white man, with about 40 negroes all of whom
had confessed their knowledge of the intended rising
were in the jail at st. Francisyille, guarded by
p1ny OF volunteers Their examination by a compe
tent tribunal, was to have commenced yesterday at 10
A. NJ.
AT Woodville, we learn numerous slaves were con-
fined IN the Jail having confessed TO the same facts az
those arrested in Feciana.
Capt Laurent states that on stopping at Point Cou-
pee, to communicate information of the situation of
the affairs above, several gentlemen recoeced oc-
of recent date VIII ch tended to confirm the
susp that the slaves of their section parties
to the wicked plot. Doct - said he had been
asked what day of the month it by more negroes
within the last ten days, than in years before
and there had been unusual assemblies OF the slaves in
rather bye places, for several Sundays past.

nation was from Bayou Sara 10 Natchez.
II may not be amss to'remark, that the plantations
in Feiciana and Wilkinson county from which the
slaves were taken who are imprisoned, are owned by
the most wealthy and resi- ecable planters ofthe States
whose kind and humane treatment of their slaves is
proyetb!al.

We were much amused yesterday morning by a
display Of locofoco logic which took place in the Sen
ate.
MIR. Calhoun, who by the way can never cease
talking on all occasions upon the subject Of the const
tuiionali,y Of the Bank, Tariff and variety Of other
matters, presented memorial from Cumberland coun-
~, Virginia, containing the proceedings Of public
meeting, at which, among other things the unconstitu
tionallty of United States Bank was declared and
settled defn,vely the opinions of General Washing
ton, Madison, and other Virginia statesmen, of almost
as great responsibility these ocofocos themselves
to the contrary Notwithstanding They declare its
former charter to have been of usurpaton and
demand that any charter to be passed by the present
Congress shall be repealed They enlighten the
Senate also upon variety of other matters, but the
very cream of the whole consists in the declaration
that the Bank question not settled in Virginia by
the last election. II declares earnestly that all issue
upon that matter sudously avoided by the Wings,
and when pressed upon that point they declared that
both General Harrison and Governor Tyler were OPP
posed TO any United States Bank.
Upon this, Mr.. Calhoun contriyed TO hang a sort
of speech, and the Senate entertained and edited
during the morning by discussion Of this threadbare
subject
Mr. Calhoun did not state he might have done,
that, taking this latter assertion in the memorial to be
correct, the fact that Virginia gave decided majority
at the last election against both Gen. Harrison, and
her citizen Mr. Tyler, affords the strongest ev
dence that majority Of her citizens in apor Of
Bank. This seems to fair conclusion from the
premises, though of course, Mr.. Calhoun will arrive
at quite different conclusion upon this or any other
subject, from any Of ordinary reasoning powers
We do not lertake to say what or are not the
sentiments Of the State Of Virginia upon this Of
the Bank, but this is certainly choice specimen OF
reasoning. gJ

GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

The Democratic Review, in addressing the
President of the u. S., uses the following manly
language, and ''thus faithfully" the Boston Post
says, expresses the sentiments OF the Demo-
cratic party" II is totally at variance with the
spirit Of the Globe which whines over every
removal however insignificant or however just
ave care not for your offices-we want none
of your patronage. Bestow all that you have
TO bestow on those who have been langushing
for the space of three presidential terms, alar
from the smiles of Executive favor, in the chilly
regions OF opposition. Let them be but honest
and honorable men, and we care not who may
be the incumbents of the public appointments
in your gift. We would encourage TOO, rather
than deprecate the most searching scrutiny
which any suspicious may desire, into any OF
the details of executive administration through
out the whole extent of its widely ramfed ac-
ton. Whatever abuses may have existed, If
any, naturally incident to prolonged possession
OF executive office, let them be fully explored by
the jealous vigilance of new incumbents What
ever useful reforms may be suggested from any
quarter, let them be frankly met and gladly
adopted. Every such detection of an abuse,
every such suggestion of reform, is common
public benefits and no party has an equal inte
rest in the purity of administration with that of
the democracy. Let the new brooms sweep as
clean as they can. This has always been one
of the chief subjects of clamor by the opposition
against the two late administrations and in the
same spirit in which, when supporting those ad
mnislrations, we denied the general truth of
those violent and random charges, we are per
tectly willing now, ourselves in opposition il 1t
be but fairly and honorably conducted, to court
the widest latitude OF investigation into them all
Reduce the action of the executive branch as
much as you choose-purify it, if you can. In
every step you may take in such direction, if
you can find any to take will answer for il
that the democracy Of the country will go with
yoa heart and hand.n
