Negro Instructions.
The mcditated attempts which have been recent
~ detected Of insurrectionary movements on the
part OF the slaves in several of the Western and South
western States, have afforded the Abolition Jour
nails Of the North opportunity Of exhib-
itng their ferocity and fendishness. Some OF
them appear to goat with unspeakable delight
over the prospect Of uprising Of the slave
population OF the South, and even have the
brutality to laugh and mock at the calamity to
which they think the whites would be subjected
in such event. Among those most conspicu-
Gus contemplating with pleasure the untold hor
OF n servile instruction, and who seem to pray
for the on-coming upon the whites of murder, rape
and arson, let loose aud running riot are the New
York Tribune, and the Albany Erening Journal
edited by two as inhuman, calous, brutalized
wretches ever disgraced human nature.
The Tribune of Wednesday has long article
on this subject some extracts from which desire
TO present to our readers, to show the fendish
spirit which animates the bosoms of many of the
leading Abolitionists of the North and of the most
influential supporters of Fremont in the late Presi-
dental canvass From the language employed in
speaking of these insurrectionary attempts on the
part of the slaves at loss to discover the
real motives and purposes Of those Northern ianat
les and incendaries in organizing great and for.
midable sectional party upon the sole idea of anti
slavery, and seeking TO obtain possession OF the
government. Their objects stand clearly and fright
fully revealed, and it behooves the South TO look
them steadily in the face and make preparation
for the worst. The simple issue OF the non-exten-
sion of slavery is not the sole issue with them
That is designed to be used only n stepping stone
TO the furtherance Of the scheme long cherished by
them Of abolishng, by peacable means violent
slavery in the States. "Peacaby il they can,
forcibly if they must" is the motto adopted by
them in relation to the determination of Southern
slavery. Ii boots it nothing to them, so that the

The downright insolence of such an appeal from
such would he provoking, if it were no,
so eminenty disgusting. Grceley's philanthropy,
and his good wishes in behalf of the uohitcs of the
South, are OF rather too suspicious character to
cause his recommendations to be received with
much respect. IL he would mind his own business
and let us alone-if nc would quit attempting to
stir up servile revolt, and turn his eyes somewhat
TO the corruption and villainy which fill his own
heart, he would probably have quite as much as
he could properly attend to-and what is more. he
might become tolerable citizen in the course of
time, and might, too, to be scorned and
despised by all decent and honorable men.
