The experience of every days journey
into .'the bowels Of the land" serves only
10 confirm and strengthen the opinion or.
iginally held and pronounced Of The aboli.
tion faction, which has arrro6gated to itself
the title of free soil, free speech and free

The prince of free soil and loose move.
ments knows better than any other man
how much OF arrant nonsense and political
knavery exists in the movement bis faction
has set on foot, and in which black spirits
and white are now seduciously ard active.
" engaged. 1t seems that when Mr. John
Van Buren, was discussing .'prIvate
smile" with Michael Walsh, the last.na.
med put it TO the Prince rather roughly,
alleging that the free soil agitation was
absolute folly, and the agitators had not
the remotest hope or expectation of elect.
ing Martin Van Buren, and C. F. Adams.
The Prince virtually confessed the truth
OF Walsh's remark. by observing, joc0se.
ly: "Mike, there are more fools in New
York than is genarally supposed most
candid and frank COME ssion to come from
the head and front of the fool party. John
Van Buren, and his coadjutors have done
torerabIy fair business in the manufacture
OF fools, so fair as political questions are
to be taken into the account. John Van
Buren, spoke truly when he said, There
ale more fools in New York than people
generally amagine;" for there are more
brawlers for flee soiP' in New York than
in any other portion of the country. If the
free sellers and free speakers shall be
unsuccessful in their ambitious designs
upon the honor and int gritty o. the people
OF this country. they may certainly fell
cItate themselves, even at the present
f5sme. in having awakened the negroes of
the NJrth to the exercise of most auda.
cious and unparalleled impudency, and
The preparation of atrocious act, ending
in one case, at least, in murder. We refer
to the case which yesterday happened in
this city. The circumstances were simply
these: -Four young men, the eldest not
twenfy.one were passing along one of The
principal streets, rehearsing scene they
had just witnessed at the theatre, In which
neglo bore part. They passed Two
negroes; and one Of them, in the most
impairment manner, asked what the
young men were saying abont the ''nig.
gers?' An emeute caused, and the eldest
of the white boys received five stabs with
a clasp.knife in the hands ofthe negro, and
died almost instantly. The negroes fled
but were ferreted out by the mayor and
police within an hour from the time ofthe
murder. The knife was found, the MUIR
derer confessed and the wretch apparently
gloried in the deed. The two negroes,
after full examination, have been com.
mtted to stand trial for murder. So great
was the excitement, that many feared the
mob would take summary vel 9eance upon
the miscreants. The young man who
has been thus hurried out of existence
was highly esteemed by an extensive cir.
Gle of acquaintances and friends. This
false. factious, and disorganizing pretence
Of "free soil, free speech, and free men,"
will lead to other and more terrible results
unless the sound practical sense and
wholesome patriotism of the whole peo-
pie Of these States shall put quietus up
on the movement in November next.
