Driving Az IT'S V1EALs,

As some excessively conservative Southern
papers appear to be of opinion that the South
is in no danger whatever from present and cons
tempIated onslaughts of abolitionism. we ap-
pend the following extract from the Washing-
ton correspondence Of the New York Tribune,
recently published. Says this correspondent
and he is known to be one of the proprietora
and editors of the Tribune, in answer to an in
terrogatory as to what the abolitionists intend
ed to do on account Of the decision of the Sus
preme Court of the United States in the bred
Scott case
For one, we make answer to the insulting
inquiry by prompt and unequivocaI reply. We
propose to revolutionize the revolution. We
design to prosecute counteryaijing measures to
the usurpatioD, which shall be sufficiently eff
fectiye and radical to accomplish its overthrow.
We intend to strike directly at the usurping
power. That power is slavery. We propose
to drive directly at its Yitals, wherever it exists.
Forced into a WAT, driven into straits where
one party or the other mast sink, we go for
sinking slavery. Ii a contes: Of vital conse~
quence and far reaching results, We cannot
stand upon ceremony. Having no alternative
but TO yield to slavery or TO conquer slavery,
we strike for lis unconditional extinction in
this government, whether by expulsion or 9TH
erwise. Upon this ground We believe the bats
tie should be fought by ali who Go not intend
to be victimtzed and degraded by the gross
and insulting rule Of the slave power.
A palmer description Of what the abolition
ists intend to do, when they obtain the power,
could not be given. It is as relentless az hate
can be, and as feroeious as fanatjcjsm. 1t
means, breathes and threatens nothing but the
precipitation Of a catastrophe that shall involve
the whole South in one widespread, common
ruin. 1t takes no middle ground; it affords
moi the slightest l~oophole for compromise; for
it strikes directly at The vita!s Of the paramount
institution Of the South.
There may be those who will regard The
above rs bat the idle rawlings Of a fanatic. All
such are laboring under a serious mistake-s
mistake it will not do for the Southern people
to fall into. If there is madness in the con-
of method in it, which renders it still the more
dangerous. Let Us recspitulate a little to il
lustrate our proposition. The New York Tri'
bune is the most influential organ Of abolition
ism in the United States. 1t is devoted to
Seward, who is, to all intents and purposes,
the head and from: Of abolitionisrn in this couns
try. The chances are, in our deliberate belief,
that Senator Seward will be elected next Pres
ident, provided this Union lasts, Now, is it
not apparent that he, being thoroughly imbued
with the doctrines Of anti,slavery, will endeav-
or to carry out his own aud the life ,long views
Of his strongest supporters? Most undoubt-
eddy!
Give the abolitionists power to strike at the
~"Vitals" of the South, which they expect to
have in 1860, and if they dbn't strike, the great.
est miracle Of the age will be nanifest.-Nsw

Gone 20 ehe penrrenr,nrx.

Yesterday the Sheriff conducted three cons
convicts, for the Penitentiary, to their home
for life at Baton Rouge. The first was Adam
Scott, who was convicted Of the poisoning of
his employer, patron, and friend, Levi Smell
ser. He seemed sad, detected. indeed, and as
he passed US ironed down, We think a more
melancholy spectacle was never presented to
our view. We learn that he gave his watch
and some fifty dollars in money, which he
had about him, to Eugene Dnprat. SCOTS ac-
complete in CRIME, Mrs, SmeIaer, was tried at
the same time with him, but not beingconvic-
ted she was admitted to bail, and has since
left the city-Ieaving ii for her securities to
settle the matter-doubtless she was the
most guilty Of the two.
The others who have gone to that tempo
raj bourne whence no traveller returns, were
Bernard and Ness for setting FIRE to their house
on Poydras street, for the purpose of avaiIing
themselves of the insurence.-N. o. Times.

GThe moment a man parts with moral
independence-the moment be jddges of duty,
not from the inward voice, but from the in
terest and will of a party, the moment he com
mits himself 10 a leader or a body. and winks
at evil because divisions would hurt the cause,
the moment he shakes OF bis particular res
sponsibility, because he is but one of a thou
sand, or million, by whom the evil is done,-
that moment he parts with his moral power.
He is shorn Of the energy of single, hearted faith
in the right and the true. He hopes from mans
policy what nothing but loyalty to God can
accomplish. He substitutes coarse weapons,
forged by mans wisdom, for celestial power

A Peep for the Populdce--The Scientific
American gives a very simple mode of examine
ing the satellites of the planet Jupiter, the
rneana used being SO common as 10 be within
the reach of all. It says Every person can
view them, by reflection, using 4 common
looking glass for the purpose On a clear
night take a looking-glass, and--either at the
window or out Of doors--so place it as to re-
ceive the impression Of the planet. By d close
examination of the planet as reflected in the
glass, all it's satellites will also be observed.
provided none of them are ecEipsed. II is fa-
Their remarkable, however, that although these
satellites can thus be seen, while they cannot
be seen by the naked eye, neither Venus nor
the moon can be seen so distinctly By reHec.

q visit from Col. MITCHELL, of the Democrat.

from appearance, the very man to conduct an

which are common among editors, and which
are some Of the bright links Of our arduous
