New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-12-06

Under the head of g Slave Instructions the New
York Times, of the eth ult., has quite temperate
article, the conclusion Of which we append with the
view of offering some observations Of Re-

As the Crescent directly attributed these move

emissaries, it may not be amiss to observe to the
Times that we had ample warrant forwhat we stated.
Thare is strong % foundation for such charge-pos

Some of these miscreants have been let Off Lightly
far more lightly than they ever will be aGnin-whlle
Others it is not very likely will ever ncite to deeds of
MURDER rape and arson, again in This world. For the
present we have more to say on this branch Of the
subject
The fact that the Times will not "tcel inclined to
demonstrate against any severity of punishment
which might legally and upon due proof be inflicted
upon.men engaged in insurectionary attempts
proves that its editors not destitute of humanity
Probably they blessed with wives children, Sis

a case : What - severity of punishment" would they
think ought to be meted ont to party of villains con
spring to hand over those loved ones to the unrc'
strained and brutal hands of the free negroes Of New
York. to be dealt with just as their passions, phrcnzy
or fury might dictate? In such an event we do not
think the forms of law would be studied very pro
foundly by the editors of the Times.
A general Instruction of the Slaves" were it pos
sblc which it is not, would he iraught with gigantic
evils. In this we fully agree with the Times. Tho
South would be ruined, and slavery would be abolish
ed in the determination of the slave. There would be
no other alternative The relative position of master
and slave must be preserved, the black mns
be swept from the surface Of Southern territory
There is no chance for st. Domingo massacre here
nor would there be were the slave population tcnolc

crazy or sane may rest assured But we poor South
elnels would not be the only ones injured in The

We opinc the annual lack Of one hundred millions 0
Southern exports would be somewhat felt by the i'm
porters of New York, the inanciers Of Wall street
and the spinners and manufacturers of Massachusetts

As is always the case, the poor, wcak-mndcl Afr
