Ito which infamy has invited them, since the

honesty necessary qualification to Office
and selects Unborn baseness to deal out
equity in the sanctuary of justice. Mr.
Douglass (alluding to the speech of Chas

black mans speech. Virginia has been
the nursery of heroes, patriots, and orators

establishments having whistled
for some dough-faced "curs" to come down
on their marrow-bones, and " cotton" to
the demands of the slave obligarchy for the
purpose of saving "our glorious Union" a
preliminary meeting has been held to " cut
and dry" the matter suitable to the i'm
pending crisis.
Therefore, we must be prepared to see
the basest kind of Bringing and crawling
done by our manufacturing Cords" not
that they fear dissolution of the Union,
or that they have such sincere and over
flowing regard for their pro-slavery mas
ters,' but their bread and butter is at stake,
and it behooves them to try and conciliate
their customers little while longer, al
though the whole thing is SO transpaaently
that the South, with half an
eye, sees that it is nothing but their money
and their custom which is at the foundation
of these quadriennial spasmodic movements.
1t is not known yet when the great
meeting will be held, but when it does you
must endeavor to give it little dose of

OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
SAN Francisco, Nov. q, Is


Mr.. EDToR:-Our city was apparently
very Iquiet and barren of news from theI
time wrote you last until the 10th. Att
that time almost every person was antici-
pating the arrival of the Atlantic's passen-
gers, who left New York Oct. Doth. I'M
expectedly, however, the overland mail
/ coaches, from St. Louis with dates to the
10th, were telegraphed from the Lone Will
lows, eighty miles beyond the town of Gil
| roy, and one hundred and forty miles dis
tant from San Francisco q may here in
form you that the news is received from
that station twenty-four hours in advance
of the coaches) Notices were written in
extraordinary large letters and placed up
on the bulletin-boards of the administra-
ton papers, announcing that "extras'
would be issued in twenty minutes con-
tanning news by the overland mail of the
most startling character; that the Adolf.
I honists and free negroes of the North had
attempted to invade the South, and had as
| sisted the slaves in a servile instruction
1 that Fred. Douglass, Gerrit Smith, j. r.
Giddings, and untold numbers in the Abo-
lition ranks were implicated. Those offices
were besieged by the "unterrifed," many
of whom were apparently anxious to vol
unteer their services to the field of action
before the details were given The extras
were issued about an hour after the an
pointed time, eagerly sought after and read
by the excited crowd, and quickly given
or thrown away after it was seen that the in
surrectionists only amounted TO the insig-
nifcant number of twenty-five men. That
Osawatomie Brown and his adherents had
taken very foolish steps to accomplish their
objects, l have heard no person deny; but
it is not believed by reasonable persons
that the Abolitionists and free colored per
sons of the North would SO imprudently ar
ray themselves against the South. The
event is regarded as an excellent hobby
for pro-slavery politicians in the ensuing
Presidential campaign.
