HeIDer's Book.

The movement OF Gen. Clark, OF Missouri, to
expose on the floor of Congress, the book O
Hinton Rowan Helper. who proposes in it a
plan for servls and sgrarian insurrection in
the South, ahd the fact that almost all the Re-
publican members Of Congress had endorsed his
opinions and approved CT his enterprize, has
produced q vast deal Uf auttering among the
higher law gentlemen at Washington City
The following are some Of the points in the plan
which Helper developes in his book
/. Thorough organization and independent
political action on the part of the non-slave-
holding whites Of the South.
Q. Ineligibility Of pro slavery Shareholders;
never another vote to any one who advocates
retentention and perpetuation Of human slavery.
8. No co operation with pro-slavery polri.
clans; no fellowship with them in religion; no
afilaion with tn m in society. soul
4. No patronage to pro-savery merchants;
no guestship in slave waiting hotels; no fees to
pro-slavery lawyers; no employment Of pro-
slavery physicians; no audience to pro-slavery
parsons. s.
5. No more hiring Of slaves by non-slaye-
holders.
6. Abrupt discontinuance of subscription to
pro-slavery newspapers. .
Z. The greatest possible encouragement to
free white labor. a.ara
The New York Herald, a paper that vigor-
ously and uufiinchingly supported Fremont in
speaking of the plan developed in Helpers
book. says: .a...ets--
Reduced to single sentence, all this simply
means an asrarian insurrection against the
Southern Slave and property holders by the
laboring or poor whites" in combination with
a servile revolt, and eomprehending the slaugh-
ter or expulsion Of the dominant class and the
confscation of their property. Against this
combined movement the shareholders could not
hold out simple day; and let the ''poor white''
man OF the South be poisoned with the prospect
Of appropriating his rich neighbor's estate, and
let the ignorant slave he deluded with the Abo-
itionists' notions Of liberty, and there will be
very little difficlty in the work Of inaugurating
Helpers scheme of revolution, emancipation
and confscation." sf4a"t Na.
There is the best evidence that the plan has
the sympathy ofthe leading and controlling
spirits in the Republican party, and material
aid has been furnished for the gratuitous cir
culation Of one hundred thousand copies OF it,
