Servile Insurrections-Their Cause
The st. Louis Democrat of the 18th inst
thus places the saddle on the right horse
as to the cause of the threatened iDsurrec.
tions in the Southern States. The Demo
Graf is published in the slave State of Mis-.
souri,, and supported Buchanan for Presi.
dent, which facts we state that our readers
may not suppose tkat its opinion is affected
by any bias towards the Republicans. l,
says: r'st se-esra.T ....t-
The country has recently been started BY
the discovery of wide spread land deep laid
plans Of insurrection among the negroes in
the Southern States. This discovery has
carried dismay and terror to the hearts Oi
many people, and, indeed, no thing could be
better calculated to aw waken alarm in the
bosoms of the boldest. A man who could
face death in its most appalling shape with
firmness and constancy, might well shr nix
with apprehension aud dismay from dang
er which threatens 10 bling death, and worse
the children that surround his hearthstane.
Such OF the Southern journals as have at
tempted to give any explanation of the
cause OF these Instructions, have concWreJ
in altributng to the discussion OF the
slavery question during the recent -Presi-
Dental election. 1t is well known that in
this State, and all over the South. the pro-
slavery party have denounced alEwho op-
posed their schemes lor extending slavery
into Kansas as abof!tIonists, and charged
that all such persons. composing tsn irI-
mense majority at The Moth, were deter
mined, il they obtained power,to abolish
slavery throughout the Union OF course
This vas iaIse6ood, and Known 10 be- a
.ialsehood by those who gave it aotterance,
but the slaves who listened to these wild
harangues from the furious pro-siasery iden'-
agagues, intended 10 ehbftter the masses OF
,he Southern people against the people of
tie Nurlh, were not unwilling TO give -cre-
dence 10 y story 30 aajtering to their hopes,
and hence they have been prompted and en-
couraged 10 the attempts which have been
So recently discovered and suppressed. ~
.;,Who Is to blame for the disasters from
which the wives and daughters OF the S0uth
have just barely escaped, by the timely, and
we might also says, pro- identiai disclosures
of the designs Of. the Slaves! Undoubtedly
the lying demasogpes, who, for party pur9
poses and for the sake CT PERSONAL advance
.menl, have gone about Illuminating TIER
faisehoods ,sgainst all the people Of The
North, and have prompted and encouraged
the slaves. to revolt, which never would have
been attempted, except f"r the 3Ppes irl
spiied OF aid and assistance lrod @e people
Of the Northr Who istoAaoe ned feFs
the gloom and apprehension which st3
broods over the South. and who'has caused
the embarrassment to the business of the
people in the districts where these outbreaks
have occurred! The .ahswer is still the
reckless and unprincipled demagogue WHO
gave rise to the slavery agitation BY the
re peal Of the Missouri Compromise, and
who endeavored to Justify the Outrage by
at.ributing to the people cf'the aNOrth, the
design of abolishing slavery in the Southern
States. ..'o
In this connection we reprint the follow
ing telegraphic dispatch, wh:ehconfirms the
statement. we received from reliable source,
and published few days since: 7s

The latest advices from the Cumberland
river. Tennessee, states that twenty-five
iron furnaces in that region have stopped
oaerations in consequence of the negro
trouble. --s.s... s-..i .-. .....
1t appears then that the pro.slavery DEM
agogues have brought disaster ahd ruin TO
the -iron interests of Tennessee. Just as
the same men have improved the business
OF the upper Missoasi, by systematic agita-
,ion and the must uniounded iaIsehoods.-
A still greater disaster has been averted by
the provdentia disclosures of The plans OF
the slaves, yet the worst consequences may
still De apprehended, unless the public opin-
ion OF the South shall put down the dena-
gogucs who originated thei.siavery agitation
by tepe ling he Missouri Compromise, and
ure copspiring to keep ituP,g by Prociaini-
ing that the people OF the Moth entertain
the design OF interfering with the. right Of
shareholders in the States, IN order TO fan
the flames Of excitement and prejudice, by
which these same demagugues have oo;ain-
