THE NORTH MUST SEIZE TIE RICHES OF THE
SOUTH.
Nature has been kind 10 us in ali things
The strata and substrata OF The South are
profusely enriched wih gold aad silver, and
precious stones, and frora he natural 0rif-
cas and aqueduc:s in Virginia and North
Carolina flow the purest healing waters in
the world Blu. Of what avail is oil this
latent wealth? Of what avail will il ever
be so long IS slavery is permitted 10 play
the dog in the marger? To these queries
there can be but one reply. Slsvery must
be thro:iled; the South, Sc great and SO glO-
rious by nature must be reclaimed frcEn her
infamy and egrsgation; our cities, fields
and forests must be KEEP, intact from It's
unsparing monster; the variaus AID ample
resources of our vast domain. sublerrane-
Gus as well rs superficial, must be devel-

EryOLUTIoE MIST FREE TEE SLAVES.
Tbs great revolutionary movement which
has set on foo, in Charlotte, Mecklerburg
county, Ncr,h Caro.ina. on lie 2G,h day of
May, l776, has rot yet been terminated,
nor will ii be until every sia"e in the L.
nited States is free from the tyranny Ct his
master. Every victim Of the vile insti,u-
ton whether white or blaok, must be re-
inyested with The sacred rights and privi-
leges of which he has been deprived by the
inhuman oligsrohy. What eur noble sires
OF the revolution left uuiini,hed il is our
duty 10 complete.
To this principle tie North has adhered
with the strictss. fidelity. How has L teea
with the South? Has she minated tbs
praiseworthy example Of cur ii'ustriOus an
cesors? No! She has treated it win the
Utmost cortempi; she has been extremely
seifsh-so selfish, indeed, that she has rob-
bed posteri'y ol lis natural, inalienable
rights. From the period of lhe formation
of the Government down 10 the present
moment, her policy has been downright sui
cida!, and, as matter OF course, wholly ln-
deFensible. She has Lu2ged yiper TO her
breas:: her whole sys,e:n has been para!y-
ssd, her conscience is scared, and still bold
ing in her embrace the c@':se Of her shame
and suffering. she is becoming callous 10 ey-
cry principle Of justice and n lEaanimity.-
Except among tie non-slayehJljers, who,
beside being kept in the grossesi ignorance
are under the restraint OF all manner Of in
iguilous laws, nar,atisln has alaioSt ceased
10 exist within hex borders And here We
desire 10 be distinctly understood, for We
shall have occasion 20 Isitr 10 thiS matter
again. Ws repeal, therefore, The substance

Another Excitement Probable Hoax.
Considerable excitement was created in
Talbot couaty, Md, on Sunday last, by an
lncendiary letter found BY Mrs. LEE, in the
streets Of 81. bIichsels. The Easten AQr
says: ---
The letter purpOrts 20 sire the outlines
Of general insurrectionary ana aggrarain
movement, said TO be projected in this State
and Virginia, duplicating parties whose.
names We Withhold, flr the reason that VIC
cannot believe they are il any wise con-
nected with SO diabollcal conspiracy. The
letter states tha; . 800 men on the Eastern
Shore, and 10000 on The Western Shore,
are '.enlistened in the crusade that these
men know each other By Sacret SsgEs, $50
that ii 4 crusader from AilegLaDy meets an
other from Worcester in the streets Of Bal
timore, they can instantly recognize each
other by 4 Ioa!; in The eyes The plot
oonieinp!ates The capture OF BdIiimoTs city
through the AID Ct f1Ity Thousand mer
from the North.
The time for the blow 10 be struck is 10
be fixed BY Siale convention OF the ''crr-
saders" 10 be held IN Baltimore. The date
OF the letter is torn of. and also the nams
Of The party, Oh the envelope, TO whom it
was addressed. The ione Of il Is so conf.
dent and extrayagant as 10 give room for
the belief that al is an infamous hoax, yet
