SOWING DRAGONS. TEETH.

Next to actual participation in insurrectlon-
ary movements that policy which creates a
profound aad widespread belief i'll thc South
ern mind that the great body Of tile people Of
the North are ready, at 4 moments warning to
take up arms in behalf Of the slaves when
they rise, is the rapkest treason 10 the penee,
welfare md perpetuity ol the Union Yet
that is the policy that the Democratic party
are pursuing. They are telling the disal1ecttd
white men Of the Rlavelloldiug Sta.es, and in
spite OF all prohibitions, the slaves tlnn-
selves, that when they ara ready 10 prove their
disloyal,y to tho rulo under which they nre
l.eld, their appeal to arms will be answered by
instant aid from tic Republicans Of the North
that they may rise and begin the work Of
arsun, rape and murder when they will, and
all tile crimes aud atrocities that they mar
commit will he hut 50 many recommendations
10 the favor Of ,hat great party TINT is tr1-
anlplaul in nj! hut one Of The Free States!
We're there moi suc!, imminent danger to tie
continuance Of the present 1eaccablo relations
between the bond mud the free, in the syste-
matte lying in which tho pro-ElaveEy orators
aad journals indulge when Republicanism and
its objects are the lhelne wo might Tldic'''e
tie ci1vrts Of these tnlsiiiers 10 gain parti-
san advantage by the disrcputable practices
which they pursue. But when we remember
that the slave population, along the Northern
border Of the Slave States. is i'll fer1nent, and
that Browns plot is supposed to have EN-
bsaced q line Of country extending from Mis-
souri to Maryland, and that thousands Of slaves
are suspected Of Deipg rEivr to luis plans
Wien NC remember that the Tennessee insur-
rcc1io,. following the election Of 1856, was tho
direct and legitimate result Of the l4arangues
ef the Southern politicians, wcl, held up Ere
mont as Libcrau,r, and the Republicans as
l,ia troops, that would at once open tile road
to emancipation have glimpse Of the
dangers Of that course which the Democracy
have pointed out in relation to the affair o!
Brown. They arc making another 'nsurrec-
t;on not only possible but leasfully imminent
Their charges, which they krow to be faise,
and Which, tLey arc ringing out so loudly tia:
| they must 60 straight home TO tho cars o1
every intelligent slave in the South, are silently
hut elIectually ncryins them for terrible
| L!ow like that which Brown and his contede-
rates wcro preparing to strike. But it is all
| in accordance with Democratic tactics. 10
.l.a1 party, which, ly its legislation since ls53
f,as done more to conyulse the country and
weaken tho bonds Of union between the two
sections Of the Republic than was done in all
tho ycars antccedent-wAich must ',ear the
responsibility Of this 1farrer's Ferry tragedy
as tie least Of its sins-wlich has marked ont
its line Of march toward the subjugntlon Of the
Fl States and the naturalization Of Slavery
domestic peace and satetr, tic amicablc re"
lations Of the North and South, considerations
touching the couatry's development and the
advancement Of its material interests, are
nothing. It is struggling desperately for
;,owcr; and the means by which it would at'
tain it hare long ago ceased to be considered
Nebraska bills, Kansas wars, or servile insur'
rcclions, with all their consequences are gladly
avrep,cd, If they but promise to secure the oh
] jects for which the Democracy contend. 10
lay they arc sowing dragons teeth, and tsie
| cron will he armed men.
