as now, and when letters were denied to but few.
1t was so when. at later period Of the old en-
pires, the number Of educated slaves had become
the harbiDgers to the abolition Of the system in
Italy. 1t was so when the local jacqueries OF
France foretold the most exciting period Of human

remember the year 1870, when she was on the
brink Of being handed over to fire and sword,
when the American African population were under
the influence Of religious ecstacy as well as reac-

have now to note in our columns :
Here we have amid all the nonsense about the
cOntented condition Of the slave amid all the lovely
Southside portraits Of the institution accounts OF
a widespread conspiracy-how widespread we
know nOt-in different States, ready to rush forth
and deluge the country in blood, evoke war of
mutual eItirDination, and call for Northern inter-
ference. Simply good luck this time seems to have
told the masters of the conspiracy; but will the
same luck attend them next time Here the whole
negro pOpustion Of those portions of the country
are apprised that such a thing as conspiracy may
be carried on. They perceive that some Of the con-
spirators are shot, some hanged, and some whipped
They are made acquainted with the fact that one
attempt was made, and therefore why not make
another What is to exempt the South
from such casualties Do they expect to
be free from the control Of cause aud effect
Do they hope to gag the negro eternally' Why,
even the Northern Democracy has turned on the
Southern taskmaster-the Democracy upon whom,
according to John Randolph, the South counted as
he did upon Der nigeers.
There is progress. II cannot be barbacued or
buncome1 away. The South must learn that peo-
pie who live upon the edge of volcano are liable
at any moment 10 be overwhelmed with its erup-
tions. But instead of seeking safety they invite
danger They ask for more territory to be subject
and his instructions. They should be taught
better. Although they may have believed in the
sweet assurances of an Everett that no would
so readily enlist him as soldier as one to put
down slave insurrection-and that Everett spoke
for the North-yet now that the South is faithless
to her agreements, and reverses the theory Of
the Government, shreks either for the re-
opening of the foreign Importation OF slaves
or the bOundess extension Of the domestic slave
trade, openly tells the mechanics and laborers Of
the North that they may properly be slaves in viz
tue simply of their toll, and we would ask what claim
will the South have on the North when instructions
do come The North has protested against the
extension sf Slavery. Unprotected when Louisiana

1t is possible to kick the patient m,n too
hard. Let the South, with her growing in.
.urrections, look to it. There s danger ahead,
az sure as history has spoken and left words Of
suppressed warning. These last suppressed insur
