Servile Instructions.

Now that all rumors Of insurrectionary move
ments on the part of the slaves have died away,
it were we'll to look around us, and see in what
these unsuccessful attempts at revolt had their
origin. There must have been some reason
for the very general disatiection among the ne
grOes, and we think that we can assign at least
one of the causes which helped TO produce it.
1t will be recollected by all, that during the
| late Presidential contest the Democratic party
were constantly III the habit Of crying out at
| the top OF their voices that Fremont would GER
tainly be elected, and the institution Of Slavery
be as certainly overthrow in consequences,
unless the Wings and Americans would come
to their rescue, and vote for Buchanan Suoh
was the universal clGmor OF these spoils-seek-
| ing party veterans during the whole of that
warm and protracted struggle; and yet it is "a
fact, familiar to all, that during nearly all the
| political discussions of the canvass, negroes
| gathered in crowds about the cOurt-houses and
other places Of public speaking and stood list
| enng attentiYcly to every word and syllable
| that fell from the FPS ofthe party orators And
! what did they hear from the Democratic sneak
ers? Why, they heard it proclaimed, day in
and day out, for five months that the Fillmore
party OF the Southern States-comprising near.
| ly onehalf OF the white population-were aid
ing ard abetting in the election of Fremont,
and were IN fact his secret friends and sup
| porters-the friends and supporters of a tre
mendous political organization at the North,
whose chief object was to bring about an i'm
mediate emancipation Of the slaves! This was
the plan of the campaign, as prGc;iced upon by
the Democratic party throughout all of the
! slavehoIding States. Is it any wonder, then,
that the heads of the negroes should have been
made giddy and wild by such incessant inhan-
matory harangues? Is it any marvel that the
| silly and deuded wretches should have nut
some small faith in such vehement declarations
and utterances, and should have set themselves
to work to procure their freedom, by - :.
ter and murder of the whites? We " ~
Questions to the commgn SEH or tbaro P9otp'e,
| Ieo.. FEASIBILITY in the suggestions we have
thus hastily thrown out.
We think there is. We believe that all the
insurrectiOnary movements at the South is
the natural and necessary effect of the course
pursued by the Democratic party in the late
canvass. And, what is more, we believe that
all the blood which has been shed by the whites
in selfdefence, in some portions Of the coun-
try, rests upon the heads Of the reckless derna-
gogues of the Buccaneer Democracy.

HINTS FROM THE PEOPLE.
now IT WAS DONE.

Keeme, CoShocton Co., O., Dec. I2.-Is is
we'll for Pro and AntiSlaveiy men to know, as
extensively as possible, that Mr. Sapp was not
defeated because he was too Anti Slavery, but
Mr.. Burns made his way By claiming to be the
more Anti.Savery Of the two.
In a printed address that he issued to the
electors Of the 18th Congressional district in
Ohio, he said: 81 have been asked by num-
beers, if | am in favor Of the extension of SIa1
very. Ny answer is, No! And again | am
asked, would vote for bin similar to Dunn's
amendment? ] again say, No. neoer | con
slider that amendment, as voted for and passed
by the friends OF the measure, a complete
license for and an invitation held out TO the
shareholders, to fake their slaves into Kansas
and Nebraska and virtually promises them that
in the event of the people of the Territories
forming Free State Constitutions, Saveryshould
still exist until 1858; and all children born of
slave mothers should be slaves for life, by re,
moving them to slave States, although born in
a free State"
He says, further that the shareholders who
take their slaves into Kansas or Nebraska
Z" will, in the event of Kansas being a free
State, be subject to similar laws that Ken
tuckian would now be if he brought his slaves
into Ohio; that is, they would be set Free"
Further on he says, "The Republican, and
not the Democratic party, is the real Pro-Sla
very party"
In his private clectioneering, he made still
stronger Anti-Savery pretensione, pledging
himself "never to vote to extend Slavery one
inch :" said, before he would vote for a law
allowing stakeholder to seize a poor little
negro baby, born in free Territory or State,
and take it into a slaveholding State, to spend
its days in Slavery, he would suffer his right
arm to be cut off.
By such pretensions and pledges he sue
ceeded in making changes enough in Coshoc,
ton county alone to elect him.
Yours, truly, JAMES BoYD.

doubts, may examine.-Ed. Era.

PROSPECT IN PENNSYLVANIA

Lime Hill, Pa.. Dee. 2O.-Our State has
gone for the Pro-S!avery Democracy this fall,
yet not by a fairly-presented issue. The false
representations of the press, and sophistry of
well-paid stump speakers, brought false issue
before the people. Thousands Of true Anti
Slavery men voted for James Buchanan, under
the impression that his party was opposed to
Slavery extension.
Old Bradford, my natal county, and home Of
the noble Wilmot, did well at the recent cleo
ton. Among the ten thousand voters, but two
thousand were willing to sanction a corrupt
and imbecle Administration. We need more
papers like the Era circulated among us, and
the socalled Democratic party" will live but
in name. Present the true issue before the
people of Pennsylvania, and they will give a
vote in 1860 that will astonish and cause the
knees Of the devotees of Slavery to tremble
and knock together, like those of Belshazzar.
Though we are defeated, we are not beaten,
neither dismayed the Republican party is
gaining ground every day. Our clubs are re-
organizing, and Republican principles are
spreading like wildfre. The rotten platform
of the Democracy is fast giving way, and will
soon bury its supporters in irretrievable ruin
Give us more light, and the people will repu-
date, with a voice of thunder, the accursed
system of our National Government being a
tool in the hands Of Slavery extensonsts

Frederick Co., Nd, Dec. Pin this cleo
ton district there are over five hundred voters.
OF this number, there are only sixteen slave
holders. Two Of those voted for Fremont, at
the Presidential election; third of them says
he goes for Liberty when there is even remote
probability of success. Party drill is go com
plete, that the mass of the people have their
thinking done out, as they have their washing.
The people want light.

about the price of the Era. 1t is the cheapest

which is mainly supported by our patriotism
and our treasure? +
In the progress of events, the matter came to
be regarded in this light and in the Kansas
Nebraska act it was solemnly agreed, that here
after Government would not exclude Slavery
from any Territory, but would leave it to the
people of every nascent sovereignty to deter
mine their institutions for themselves. This is
wise and wholesome principle, but its recog
milton in the policy of Government comes too
late for the relief of the South. We did not
only want justice fer the future, but we were
entitled to indemnity for past spolation. The
North has been enriched at our expense. Our
growth has been dwarfed, to aggrandize the
political power of Anti-Slavery. The South
has been held back in the race, until it is almost
hopeless to think of again getting abreast of the
North. In reason and Ia conscience, are might
claim compensation for our losses, and demand
to be put upon an equality aoih the free States
But the North is deaf 10 the voice both of rea-
son and of conscience, aud we need make no
such appeal to its Justice or its magnanimity.
But ace may insist that hence forth the North
and the South shall progress pari passu an the
march Of pOscer; that tile preponderance ofthe
one SLaU not increase Ocer tie inferi0rity of the

THINGS IN MINNESOTA.

81. Paul, Dec. III am happy to assure
you that the good cause is all right in Mnneso-
ia. Spurious Democracy, but for the nursing
of the General Government, would be no
where in this Territory; but Land Offices,
Post Offices, Indian Agencies, Governor, Sec
rotary, Judges, &c, all have an influence in a
new country, where the masses think but little
about politics, that people in older communi-
ties have but little idea Of
Our growth is wonderful. Our population
falls but little short of two hundred thousand,
with prospect Of larger emigration in the
spring than ever before. With the healthiest
climate on the continent, it is being demonstra-
ted that as abundant and rs fine crops can be
raised here as on any soil in the world.
If the people in 81 the States" behave them
selves, we expect to honor them with propo-
sition for partnership during next Congress,
