IysuRREcroYARY RuMoRs The papers in
the northern part of the State, have had fire..
qucnt statements of late in regard to insurrcc.
tionary rumors aud insurrectionary plots, both
in that part of the State and over the line in
Arkansas. A few weeks ago man named
Hancock was arrested in Union county, Ar.
kansas, on suspicion of being engaged in trying
to incitc the slaves to insllrrcction. He made
some confessions, and managed, finally, to cs-
cape, but was rc.arrested, taken to ElDorado,
tried and shot, not, however, by regular pro-
cess. lie was not found guilty on his trial.
hut subsequently he said he knew all about it,
hut would not tell This so cxaspcratcd the
people, us we learn from the Claiborne (La.)
.idrocaie, that they seized him. and being then
convinced of his guilt, shot him in the woods.
4 man by the name of Martin was tried in
ElDorado, 90 similar charge, convicted and
hanged There was TO bc n general cOnccn.
tration Of about three hundred negroes, at a
given point led on by Hancock and several
others. The town Of EIDorado was to be at
tackcd--its inhabitants murdered, and money
and provisions obtained by force.
The excitement extended down into Louisi.
ana, ind several planters have been examining
their negroes, but they have discovered, a,
yet nothing TO implicatc any one. 1t is to be
hoped the matter will rest where il is. In all
such circumstances excitement is apt to be
carried too far aud innocent persons, in con-
sequence are liable to be punished for the
guilty. We dcprcca'c all haSty and cxtrajn-
dcial proceedings where it is possible to avoid
them.

A New Party Movement

The common defeat of the Republican and
Know Nothing parties is having the effect to
make them "fepl wondrous kind at the North
at least The Inauguration of new party, to
be called the "Imrican Republicans" is al
ready talked of, to be composed of the cle-
mcnts designated by the compound name. The
Republican journals of New York abound il"
dununciation of the Irish and German popula-
ton. as precipitation to Know Nothing favor
and of course the latter will be compelled to
adopt something of the principles OF the Re
pubicans to make the union complete and
cordial. This result was clearly forcshadowed
by the various fns,ons which took place before
the late election, and common overthrow has
rendered the union more inevitable. To this
complexion it must come at last, if the enemies
Of the Democracy are ever to indulge the
slightest hope Of triumph. Black spirits and
red must commilglc in order To make tho
"hcll broth boil and bubble Otherwise there
is no prospect Of even contest III the intur,
with the great and conservative principle
which have recently triumphcd in the election
of James Buchanan.
The Democracy are ready for whatever. bat
tie wager is rendered them. They have crush
ed out all the dangerous tSa,s that ever lIrtct
the country, and with the assistance Of iha
overriding Providence which has heretofore
smiled upon them they stand ready 10 brui>'
the remaining heads of the dragon. In th
connection, we would direct the attention o
Southern Know Nothngs TO the declaration
of the New York Times, Fremont organ
that "llc whole foreign votc--lrish and Ger
man--has been cast for Buchanan" Tn,
statement is pregnant one, and coming from
an organ of the Black Republicans, which
would scarcely be SO ungratcinl, not 10 spcal
of policy, as to cast off its friendsit can 10

INsuRREcrIoNARY PLor : We learn from the
Franklin Journal, that the negroes arragncd
in the parish of ST. Martin supposed to have
been connected with an insurrcctionary plot in
that parish, have all been acquitted except p
free negro boy who is now in jail There were
several white men whom it was supposed act
ed with them, for whom warrant was issued,
and the Deputy Sheriff of the parish came to
that place on Saturday last, and, accompanied
by posse, went in search of the fngliyes, and
below there, nearly opposite Pattersonyille
took three of them from natboat-on THEN
way, we understand, to the terminus of tho
railroad 1t is supposed that one of the par
ties arrested-whose name we do not remcm
ber-occupied very conspicuous place in thu
movement of insurrection, having furnished The
negroes with ammunition and arms The free
boy, and at least one of the white men, will
suffer death for the part taken in the matter.

CuApLAINs TO CoNGREss.-We are informed
that memorial is on foot among some Of the

on the fact that last winter the clergymen Of
Washington were invited TO alternate in open
ing tho House before its organization and on
the fact that the suggestion of Il permanent
arrangement Of this kind was then made, and
only abandoned from the consideration that
no expression of the willingness Of the clergy
thus to oficate had been given. We under
