The Montgomery Advertiser suggests a remedy
for the recent troubles at the South. 1t is this;
"For years past Northern emissaries have been
In our midst tampering, with our slaves; We
have too often suffered them to depart unwhipped.
The evil from which our South Carolina friends
are now suffering might have been averted by more
summary treatment vi abolition scoundrels when
caught at their mischief. Simply tarring and
feathering and ejecting an abolitionist is but a
child's remedy, and so far from its having the eli
feet to stop his mischief, it will only case harden
and make him worse. Hang them when you catch
them in your midst tampering with your slaves,
say We. Your self. preservation, the security OF
yourselves and your families. and the perpetuity
of the insti.rtion itself, demand that tho life OF an
abolition emissary should pay the forfeit OF his
temerity when caught at his mishief in a southern
community.
We say this much upon the superstition that the
blacks of South Carolina are melted by abolition
emissaries, and when the matter comes to be IN
vestigated, our life for it, 1t will so turn out. They
are now, doubtless, in our midst-they are every
where through the Southland the entire popula.
ton of our section should resolve itself into one
vast vigilance committee and purge itself, us long
as there is a limb to hang them to. OF every inter
meddling abol!tionist caught on southern SOIL
Wherever you catch him, there let him md ms
grave, and our word for it, these instructions VIII
be few and fur between. Better to hang two or
three abolitionists, than to BIO in continual dan
ger Of having cur threats cut"
The Advertisers remedy is suggested upon the
supposition that the Northern abolitionists have
done tho mischief. That paper will not OF course
contend that if the guilty parties turn out to be
southern men, they should be more leniently treat.
cd. They should be hanged, of course. And
perhaps, being traitors as we'll as emissaries, they
ought 70 be drawn and quartcrod in addition.
Now Hon. l.. Ii. Chase. recently a Member of
Congress from Tennessee, says that for the troub-
les in that State the abolitivnists are not RESPONSE
BILE, but the Buchanan and Fillmore politicians
are. Undou btedly the same thing is true in all
parts of the South. If the Folks and Bells, and
Fosters and Gentry's Of Tennessee have been do
ing this mischief for fifteen years past, the Wises
and Baylevs, and Bococks and Faulkners and
Hunters ct Virginia have been equally guilty, and
80 in the Carnlinas and Georgia and the South
west. Instead, then, of the paragraphs we see in
the newspapers recommending these Southern pol
isicians to seats in the Cabinet, we ought to see
their names recorded in the proceedings OF the
criminal courts. If justice were done, according
to tho Montgomery Advertisers plan, we should
see such paragraphs as these:
"IncendiaIy Caught. We learn that the Vigi'
lance Committee at Washington yesterday made a
descent upUn a room occupied as a Depot for IN
cendiary publications by one Charles ). Faulkner,
NJ. c.. from Virginia. and captured him with a
great quantity of sedltious pamphlets, which he
was engaged in franking to various parts OF the
Southern States. Upon examination these pam
phlets were found to contain high.wrought appeals
to Southern men to vote for Buchanan upon the
ground that Mr.. Fillmore was in league With the
Northern Abolitionists. 1t is evident that nothing
better calculated to excite sedition could be circu
lated at the South. Not q few of our slaves are
able to read, and to inform them not only that thu
North is abolitionized, but half the South also
must excite hopes of freedom in their minds whicl
will lead to SCIENCES of instruction and ~bloodshed
We rejoice that q stop has teen put to this process
of mischief Eanlker ia believed to be in the pa
of Garrison. He will be dealt with in a summar.
anner."-(Washing.on Union.
. Abolitionism in our Very Midst--Star.ling Event
Summary Vengeance? Our community wa
greatly excited yesterday by the announ cement tina
political meeting would be held at the Africa
church, which would be addressed by Henry A
Wise. The erratic course of Wise has been chal
itably attributed by his friends to insanity, bu
large numbers of people have for a long time look
ed upon him as al enemy OF our institutions, wn'
emily sought a good opportunity in order to strik
them a deadly blow. Great curiosity was man
tested to hear him, and the church was crowded
Many Of our slaves were present.. Wise's speec|
was in his usual vehement style. 1t was profess
edly in defense of the South, and an attack upoi
the North, but the design of it could not be over
looked. When he spoke of the danger OF Col
Fremont's election, of the great numbers of mel
in Richmond and throughout the South who wer
Abolitionists in disguise, and waiting for an op
portunity to join our enemies, and when he spok
OF the military preparations which 1t would b
necessary to make in order to repel the North an
maintain our rights, the yisages of the negroe
became lighted up with a furious Joy, add In tn
neighborhood of the door some turbulence bega
to be manifested. 1t soon became clear that II
speakers purpose was to excite discomfort II III

was however permitted to finish his speech. q
imp-omptu meeting was then organized, and II
orator taken into custody. lie Immediately u
came very outrageous in his language and conou
and attempt to knock down those who were p1iac'
to guard him. A series OF resolutions were INV
duced and passed by unanimous vote, declarii
his speech an incendiary one, and placing him
the custody of twelve respectable citizens. IN
however, did not satisfy the populace, who cla'
orsd for his instant execution, and we regret
say that as the committee wero proceeding wi
him to the jail, n rush was made. and the felie
was taken and hanged Immediately in front OF t
Court House. We deeply dc plore this event, b
if Lynch law is ever UNSUITABLE, it is so in tt
case. 1t turns out that this Wise has Tor the Ia
twenty years made the agitation OF the slave
question his chief business. BY means OF 1t
has risen to a seat in Congress and to the Cow
nor's chair. His career is now cut short, ana
hope his awful fate will be a warning to all AT
litionist emissaries. The developments OF tod
leave no doubt that the punishment was justly
ficted. In Wise's house were found copies
speeches by Seward. Sumner, Wilson, Wade, a
other notorious Abolitionists, with whom he W
unquestionably in league.
We learn further that two men named Boco
and Hunter have been arr ested ON suspicion OF
ing engaged in similar designs. They have be
hea,d to express disapprobation of the hanging
Wise, and there are other suspicious

1t will not be long. if the Montgomery Adv
Users advice is followed, before we see SUCH al
eles rs the above. Their publication just now
our columns is only q little premature. Let
southern incendiaries take warning.
