Tue keokuk lines gives an exaggerated
statement Of the cxten, OF the negro insur.
sections South, and then says
These are the fruits OF sbolitionism. AL.
ready the labors Of lie missionaries, 10 the
0uise administers and teachers, are traced
IN bloody hand writing. The New York
Tsibune and It's co-labossFs, who upheld vio-
ieacs ss praisewos,ay and righteous under
q higher iasC doctrine, have succeeded in &C.
conplishing their ends. In the swsmps Of
Arkansas, the cane breaks OF Mississippi,
and the sugar fields Of Louisiana. the delu.
ded negro has found use Ter those muskets,
rinss and kegs Of powder, (profanely boxed
up in collins which northern philanthropy
and piety have sent as peace q9cyt2o TO
their black brethren a the South. Modern
Black Republicanism, in its blind party zeal,
has supplied inccncisry speeches, sermons
and tracts with which TO Endle the Gre
which now threatens to involve . large
portion of our common country into one con.
6agration-
We canno' imagine precisely what es-
innate IN editor places upon the intelligence
Of READERS whom he treats 10 such stuff as
the above. II may, however, enable them
TO form very good estimate of has honesty
and mora worth as an editor. Here is a
direct charge that the Republicans have
been sending muskets, rifles and kegs Of
powder, TO the slaves OF different Southern
States, box I'd up in collins isr concealmeDt,
for the purpose of numbering their white
matters and families. This charge 10 pre-
cssely worthy Of its author, the gentleman
who makes himself the principal and peca-
lss defender OF DR.. Eads, from whom he
hes received the aid of $4,000 OF The
School Fund. 1t would disgrsce any higher
source, and we are not sure hut what j;
must stain even the character oil tool Of
DR.. Eads II is too ally charge fer serious
ccmnent-too miserable and disgraceful a
slur to inlure any body but il author. A |
charge that respectable citizens Of the
North. have supplied the slaves of the South
With arms and munitions to destroy the IN
suspecsirg and innocent families in watch
hey are owned, Would be too contemplate
or the utterance of even tbsse who are
now snarting and trembling right among
these slave plottings. But when uttered By
sOrsAevn man, who deliberately psbishes
to the world charge of this infamous ma
ture, foul libel upon certain OF bis fellow
citizens Of iesss as respectable sc himself.
he deserves the execrs,ion Of every North |
srn man no matter what his party.
l. appears too, that not only did "modsrn
Black RePublicsaisn" supply these slave.
With guns and powder. bat they kin6led the
ere Of these Instructions by supplying in.
cendiary speeches, sermons and tracts ~
80 it seems the Geld hand slaves OF the
South are "s reading people" They must
have read these speeches, sermons and
tracts, or how could they have been irfuen-
ssd BY them Abclitionists are perbap. rot
Kept on every plantation just at this time
70 read these pamphlets 10 slaves ~ho can
not themselves read. Nor .ere we aware
sha. much care has been taken BY masters
in distributing these ineendiary documents
In the sugar fields and "cane bresksn
where their slaves are employed. Indeed
they show commendsbie activity in pre-
venting the sale OF distribution in any man

uments in bis possession 'down South -
Republican speeches have been by no
means popular South, and we can scarcely
believe the slaves have been corrupted BY
hearing them.
But the truth is. lhe responsibility belongs
last where some Southern papers have pls.
ced it-upon the @Democrsc y'-ppon those
red mouihed brswlers who have been Der.
ambulating every portion OF the South raw
ing about AboliaoHism in the North, disun.
ion, blood and thunder The slaves had
every opportunity Of hearing them. They
learned from their lips, that there wass
great and growing party North, which these
orators called negro worshipers," Who
were ready st any moment to tear the
chains from the siaye and give him freedom.
They heard if this party obtained success
there would be disunion, civil war, every.
thing TO make negro property insecure. -
The very lying ISLANDERS uttered By these
Democratic orators against the Republican
party, are what placed the fatal dslusioa in
The hearts Of their ignorant negroes, that
they might BY come bloody effort throw of
their chains, reach this northern parry or
NEGRO worshipers." and enjoy freedom
This responsibility hes been driven home
upon the Democracy BY Southern papers
They understand just where the responsible
lily belongs, and do ne the people North in
spite Of the deceptous Of Northern dough-
face editors.
