PRAcTIcAL WORKING OF THE HIGHER LAw.-The
deplorable event which we have just had occasion
to chronicle in our coumns-namely, the murder
Of two American citizens by an armed mob Of ne
groes-nust give most serious and alarming turn
to the thoughts of every man who has been hereto
fore in the habit of looking with any forbearance
upon the dongs Of the Abolitionist and Freesoil
agitators. There is no man Of common infOrma-
ton who does not see that this melancholy occur
renee never would have taken place but for the in
stgations which have been applied to the Ignorant
and deluded blacks by the fanatics of the higher
law" creed. They are the principals in the MUIR
der, the blacks are the agents the principals will
escape punishment while the unhappy and mis-
guided agents are sure to suffer. a
All this was clearly foreseen from the beginning,
and distinctly pointed out to the public, wherever
common and common discretion had any connection
with the newspaper press In the nature Of things could
any other consequences than sedon riot and murder, with
their regular concomtants Of evil and suffering follow the
teachings Of those madmen who have been urging people

And now let any ask Of himself, who are the real

them up crime, and then leave them to suffer the penalties

The sad destiny which awaits the colored race in this
