The Deadly Spirit of Abolitionism.

Fred Douglass, the negro orator, has written long letter. In the first part of It, he acknowledges, that he is coward and says he Is most miserably deficient in courage. The invasion of old Brown has unmasked the fellows, and they let us see their real sentiments We give below a portion of the letter of this black scoundrel. not to exasperate feelings already excited, for this wretch is unworthy thought, but to show that the movement was precon- certed' that it was plot known to many and that the leading abolitionists at the north were consulted. After the language used by this negro, we can promise him that Ii he IS ever caught in the south, he Will be taughta lesson. The letter is writ ten Tn Canada, but not feeling quite safe there, Douglass is about to embark for England to join Mrs. Stowe. The italics In the following are ill the letter as origi- nally published.
 " 1he lime .tor c full statement ot what / knosc, and of oH Iknoec, ofMis desperate bm sublimely dssinterested effort to enamel pote hte slapes of 4Narylond and V;rqinia from Meir cruel task masters kas not yet come, and may neger come. In the denial which l have now made, my motive is more respectful consideration for the opinions of the slaves friends than from my fear of being made an accomplice in the general conspiracy against slavery. I am ever ready to write, speak, publish, organize, combine, and even to conspire against slavery, when there is reasonable hope for success. Men who live by rob- blng their fellow men of their labor and liberty, have forfeited their right to know anything of the thoughts, feelings, or pur- poses of those whom they rob and plunder. They have, by the single act of slavehold- ing, voluntarily placed themselves beyond the laws of justice and honor, and have become only fitted for companionship with thieves and pirates-the common enemies | of God and of all mankind While it shall be considered right to protect one's self against thieves, burglars, robbers, and assassins, and to slay wild beast in the act of devouring his human prey, it can never be wrong for the imbrated and whip scared slaves, or their friends, to hunt, harrass, and even strike down the traffickers in human flesh. If anybody is disposed to think less of me on account of this senti- ment, or because l may have had a knowl- edge ot what was about to occur, and did not assume the base and detestable charac- ter of an informer, he is a man whose good or bad opinion of me may be equally re- pugnant and despicabe. Entertaining this sentiment, l may be asked why l did not | join John Brown-the noble old hero whose one right hand has shaken the foun- datlon of the American Union, and whose ghost will haunt the bedchambers of all the born and unborn shareholders of Virginia through all their generations, filling them with alarm and consternationl My answer to this h as already been given, at least impliedly given. The tools to those that can use them Let every man work for the abolition of slavery in his own way. l would help all and hinder none.'

SETTING UP AND DOWN

A chap once told St. Patfick's dean While rising from his seat, "I mea, To set up for wit.'' "Ah" quoth the dean, if that ho . The very best thing you can do Is down again to sit.'' Too many, like that would be wit. Set up for what they are not fiji
 And always loose their aim. Set up for wisdom, wealth. ronow, But end the farce by sitttino down
 With poverty anu shame. A middling farmer thinks he can Set up to be gentleman,
 And then sit down content: But after many turn and twist Is set down on the pauper list,
 A fool, not worth cent When farmers wives and daughters fair Set up with silks and bonnets rara
 To look most wondrous winpino They sit down upon slippery stand. Till indulgence, with iron hand.
 Upsets their underpnning. Some city ladies, too, whose gear Has made them to their husbands dear. Set up to lead the ton; Though they sit high on fashions seat. Age, death, OF poverty, albeit,
 Will set them down anon. Some fools set up to live by law, And though they are "all over iaw," Soon fail for lack of brains; But had the boobies only just Known where they ought sit at first,
 They'd saved q world oi pains. A quack sets up the doctors trade. But could he use the sextons spade
 No better than his pills, The man might moil from morn to night, And md his match with all his might
 To bury half he kills. You may set up for what you choose. As easily as wear old shoes,
 If e'er so low at present.; But when you have set up in vain, And that you must sit down again,
 lis terribly unpleasant.

IMPORTANT SUIT.-A suit was lately tried at Rochester, between Mrs. Perkins and the Central railroad Mr. Perkins was killed while travelling on the railroad on a free pass. Mrs. Perkins claimed five thou sand dollars. The Judge, in his charge to the jury, directed that the question of whether the man was tra, ,e ing on pass be separately considered, and that the con- pany would be responsible for damages if the bridge, by the falling of which the man lost his life, was unsafe, through the negligence of the company. The jury after being out half an hour, returned verdict awarding Mrs. Perkins five thousand dol lars.
