The lEsCRRECTIoN AT HARPER's FERRY.-
The late insurrection at HarPer's Ferry should
teach the Southern people, in future, TO be
watchful for the protection Of their interests.
Verify, it seems as if the ''irrepressible con-
fict," spoken Of by Northern fanatics, has al
ready begun. The very confession Of Brown
himself beboovc5 the men Ct the South to be
on the alert and prepare rhans of defence
against these internal abolitionists, whose aim
and object is, TO liberate the slaves. 'No one
knows what day may bring forth" Whilst
the citizens Of Harper's Ferry were sIumber-
ing in peaceful sleep, unconscious of impending
danger, their town invaded, the United
States Arsenal possessed, and quiet and re-
spectacle citizens shot and taken prisoners by a
band Of abOlitiOnists and desperadoes, who had
come hither secretly, and in the darkness Of
night, TO steal and carry away the slaves of our
citizens. But alas for them, how did this first
attempt terminate; Ali their bard, save four.
were eli her killed or taken prisoners, a war
ming for the people of the North that any fu-
ture and similar attempts against the rights Of
the South, will be followed with like disastrous
results to them. The people of the South will
never submit to such outrages as has been per-
petrated at Harper's Ferry. The slaves which
they possess, they own lawfully, they provide
and treat them kindly, and they will, to the last
gasp, protect and defend them from the hand,
Of the lawless miscreants and abolitonsts Of
the North.
