In Texas, not many weeks since, q plan was dis
covered into which some foolish blacks nveged
by white villains, having in view the murder of all
the white men, and all the old and ugly women chill
dren and infants, reserving for fate ten thousand
fold worse than death, the young and handsome girls
and women. And after the numbering and plumber
ing was completed, the negroes with their far cap
tives and white faced but blackheared associates
were to make their escape into Mexico Such was
the plan although it was confined to two or three
| neighborhoods. Suppose this horrible scheme hao
been even partially successful! what would nave
been the inevitable result? Two or three score
murtlerings and outragings might have occurred-a
few dozen infants might have had their brains dashea
out against the treesin accordance with tile style
adopted by the New England Indians, not many nun
dred years ago-a few men might have been assas'
sinated and then-what then? 1t is altogether
probable there would have been little or no slavery
| in Texas owing to an absence OF Icing material
Under such circumstances when their own lives, and
the lives and honor of their wives sisters and chill
dren are at stake, not and never were re'y

secured protection. The history of the world vcrifes

And the one or the other must be exterminated
should the abolitionists succeed in the accomplish
uent of their uahoy designs. There is other hope
no other chance-no other alternative
What we have stated in regard to Texas is true and
applicable to all other Southern States. There is
computing the destruction that would follow half
dozen disturbances in as many States. What would
be deemed petty under another condition of affairs
would rise to an oyershadowing Importance owing to
the fact that incendiaries Of the worst and most
hellsh description were about.

Owing to recent occurrences, a meeting of the
citizens Of the parish of St. Mary recently held
in the town of Franklin. We have the full proceed

One Of the perncious consequences of abolition
agitation is approaching realization. We expected
would come sooner and have predicted it for years
The mild, good old patriarchal sway, under which
the slave improved and prospered as no members o
his race ever elsewhere improved and prospcred-un
der which the master reposed unlimited confidence il
his slave and for that confidence and regard the say
returned unlimited respect and Affections about II
be abolished, and another rule enacted, which vii
secure safety and punish incendarisnl. 1t were wors
than folly to finch from the alternative the dead
Vaccinations of our enemies have imposed upon us.
The legislatures Of the Southern States will 500
be in session. They must take up, revise and rad
cally alter the slave codes Of their respective juris
dictions. They must make those codes so clear
stringent and comprehensive that escape will be in
