TO THE pEopLE.-arotaer Appeal

We hive exposed the rulnous consequences oil Inc
3Loiiion Plot, that formed in $40 10 kidnap The
Chief Magistrate of the U. s. We have shown that
it strikes al the very foundation Of society-and was
calculated 10 drench the land blood We have traced
the equivocation of the Richmond Wing through all
its doublirgs upon this extraordinary Development
We have shown you how it fret attempted TO pass il
oil as 4 dculous hoax-then, how it attempted to de-
fend the pot-then, how II backed out from its own
defence-and finally, its stale OF despair-a an utter
loss what 10 say or what to do. Thus II stands monu
nent of its folly and equvocatlon Unable 10 de-
nv The authority of the orrespondence-unwing to
confess its tausg it either remains mute or by
such silly paragraphs as The following, destitute alike
Of the gravity OF wisdom of the pungency OF wit, II
at,em pts to excape the public Indignation, under the
of nspd jests or to throw itself back upon Its
humbug of a hoax:
awe call again upon the Editor of the Enquirer for
the names Of the conspirators, the steamboat and all
the other appliances of the 'Atrocious Plot What
manner of sentinel is he, who, with such dIabo
lca plot directly under his nose, remained two years
profoundly ignorant of lis existence: Why, with so
faithlcss watch dog, the entire Democracy might have
been ABDUCTED and carried or to the deserts of Arabia
And now, after he had his attention wakened-with
all the lights of Mesmersm-magnetc 1uId, commu.
nifty Of sensation, provision and clarvoyance, he cannot
will not disclose the conspirators and the steamboat
that they may be warning to all consprators and
steamboats,! The Democracy must put better sent
mel upon the watch tower" Last Fridays Wig
at is suggested, that Emma, whose head knous
more than other peoples heads, can guess-could Ell
tighten certain individual touching the ''arocious
pot-he names of The conspiratos, the fast sailing
mboat, and all other matters thereunto pertaining
fUedneSdays WhiS.
Such are The Beauties of the Richmond Wing =
Such is the light manner in winch it attempts TO
off the character of plot which could not be car
ried out without involving the country in the horrors
of civil war Why does he cali upon US for the
names of his conspirators and the details of the plot
| He himself is behind the curtain. He may easily
know the whole Dramatis Persona, the whole ma
cbinery that to be put in pay.-Why does he not
give the whole budget, instead Of applying for in
formation 10 US; But We should, indeed, be the IN
faithful ''sentinpis the watch-towrr, of which
he is pleased to speak, if, with the ''fud he has
already thrown off upon this subject we did not
| demand the names of the parties concerned
| We do not appeal to Emma, but 10 the two organs
of the Wing party in Virgina-the organ Of Novem
ber $780, and the organ Of September, o42, for all the
details of this atrocous plot. Who the conspl.
ra,ors Who the learned counsel, that were
| consulted rpon The election laws Who were The
active Trio, that concocied the plot, Who the
twenty parzans that 10 carry it inlo execution
We demand the whole details, in the name Of the peo
ple-And let not the Richmond Wing suppose, for one
moment that this demand is to be slghted-or that the
Wing party, unless they insist upon an entire revela
ton of the particulars escape unscathed the pub
lie resentment Let him not suppose, for mo.
nj, that he is to be permitted 10 publish such plot,
to prevarcate about it, and then to defend it, with entire
impury. The country will demand The details. They
demand the names of the conspirators. They no,
to be put off with ribald jest They will hold the
Wing organ responsible for its course. They demand
information They demand some Precipitation TO the
public feelings And if the Wing organ still refuses 10
make any ntonemcnt, they will call upon the Wing
party themselves TO do justice to The country.
This is common case-and the organ OF the Wing
party is no common man. He is their organ-their
cham pion-ths man, whom they have upheld by their
paironage-,he man, whom they have encouraged TO
support their Presidential candidate,o advocate their
cuuse-,o place their ambitious leader in power. The
