From the New York Independent
That the slaves at the South. whenever they
shall have the intelligence to plan and the skill
tsni courage to achieve a revolution for their owl
emancipation, would be justified in this, no Vir
ginisn can deny, who respects the memory o
Thomas Jefferson aud Patrick Henry. o
who does honor to the motto on The broa,
seal Of bis own State. Deprived Of thos
rinalienabls rights to life, liberty, and tho rur
suit Of happiness with which all men are endow
cd by their Creator subjected to every cruelty c
oppression, would it be strange if some bold
earnsst spirit among them should catch the linger
ing echo of Patrick Henry's voice, crying. Civ

Virginia the meaning of her own motto, Sic sem
per Tyrannis 2 The slaves at the South have tn
same right to assert their freedom against thei
masters, whenever their strength and resource
shall give them q reasonable hope Of success

against Turkey. or the Italians now have agains
Austria. The American who would DEFY this
had better 6rst burn the Declaration of indie
pendencs. If ever that shall come, as come
will whenever the Union is dissolved, woe to tn
cherished institutions and the boosted power o

Mad as the act was, and deplorable as the con
