Oeen evoked by the Harper's Ferry In
~sui.ecllon TO serve as a check upon the
PoHey OF the Republican party. The
POiiuclans Of that Organization have been
I9ught most forcibly by the Harper's
TeITy outbreak that no persons IN the
Ohlon are more deeply interested in pre-
venting all such movements i MIXTURE than
themselves. They know that they are
being held responsible by the Democratic
press OF the country for what has occur
red, and that some minds may be more
or less influenced by the charge that they
are, to some extent, accountable for
john Browns movements. We are not
now discussing the Justice Of this accuse
tlon-whether true or false it matters not
for our present purpose-but it is evident
that the interests of the politicians of the
Republican party require them to do all
IN their power to suppress future insur-
rections.
While lessons of this character have
been taught to the tra-Abolitionists and
the Republicans of the North, the occur
renee at Harper's Ferry should not be
without their influence upon the policy
and future action of the South. They
should do much 10 check the growth of
the feeling for a revival Of the slave
trade, which has been manifested in a
MUNGER Of the Southern States. Not
w~lthstandtng the complete sailure Of the
late attempt, II must practically recall to
Southern minds the inevitable horrors of
a successful instruction, and induce the
people of the South to reflect, with solemn
earnestness, upon the folly and danger of
further increasing a population necessa-
rily servile in its character, and which,
in the natural course of events, without a
foreign importation of blacks, is increas-
ing with alarming rapidly. However
secure the South may be in the control of
her present slave population, she should
consider with deep concern, how her
slaves can be managed in future, if the
aood-gates are opened for the ingress Of
the wild barbarians Of Africa IN count
less thousands, and if a new element Of
future danger is thus introduced.
The South might also learn from the
Harper's Ferry outbreak the folly of per-
hitting extreme men in her own section
10 commit her to doctrines and move
ments which, while they add nothing re.
ally valuable to her own security and pro-
lection, estrapge from her active support
thousands Of Northern men who are nat.
urally as eager and anxious to sustain all
her legitimate, constitutional rights as her
own children. She should learn TO shun
the policy Of prosecuting and prescribing
men for honestly entertaining opinions
which nearly her whole population endor-
sed but a few years ago, as n c~alcula-
ted to cut her off from the sympathy of
those who, under ordinary circumstances,
would naturally be her allies. She should
learn to be as ready in checking slave
trade expeditions organized and carried
out in violation of laws of the United
States and Of every principle of humani-
ty and morality, as she is in suPpressing
slave instructions. She should learn 10
look with Lo-ror and aversion upon fill
clustering expeditions upon neighbOring
States and nations, and openly frown on
every movement in her midst made to
sustain and c%ountenance them. She
should learn 10 despise and to politically
disarm those politicians in her midst who
are constantly urging her to advance new
and unpalitable pro-slevery theories, as
thoroughly as the masses Of the Northern
reject the extreme ideas of the
ultra bolitionists.-PkH Press.
