REVOLUTIONARY DESIGNS OF THE ABOLI
TIONISTS

We publish t" day one of the most extri
ordinary revelations of revolutionary de
sign on the part of the leading Abolitionis
aud Republicans that has ever been brounl
to light in this country since the treason ,
Benedict Arnold was detected at Tarrytowl
1t has been widely asserted by many
the Black Republican journals that til
reasonable proceeding of John Brown. ;
Harper's Ferry, were instigated by his ow
mad brain; but it now turns out that eve
since the 9th day of March last, bool
called Compendium of the Impending Cri
sis of the South" has been secretly circula
ted IN large numbers in the Northern States
indors@d BY private circular, to which ar
appended the names Of the Governor of tn
State Of New York, of an ex Judge Of ou
Supreme Court, Of the Chairman Of the Ne,
York Republican State Committee, of
large number Of our most wealth. and re
spectacle citizens, and Of sixty eight mem
bers Of Congress.
The book itself claims to have been 20
up by = uthcrn man; but it smells S,
strongly Of the shop, that every one whc
examines 1t is led to the inevitable convic
ton that the workers of the Tribune have
had their hands deeply in its preparation
In its pages the mask of moderation is com.
pIetely thrown aside, the Republican party
is declared to be completely Abolitionized
and its intention to hurry on a remorseess
aud bloody revolution IS openly proclaimed
"Slavery must be throttlcd. No
man can be true patriot without becoming
"n Aoollhonlst. Every
victim of the vile institution, whether white
or black, must be reinvested with the sacred
rights x We believe the
Northern people have been too scrupulous.
= They have approached but
half way to the line of their duty" The
nonslaveholders Of the South are thus ex.
horted: "Do not reserve the strength of
your arms until you shall have been rendered
powerless to strike;' and the shareholders
are told, "it is for you to decide whether we
are to have justice peaceably or by violence,
fer, whatever consequences may follow, We
are determined to have it one way or an,
other"

a raid upon the South even worse than that
of John Brown. In almost any other eoun.
try its aucrance would constitute treason :;
but happily for the indorscrs of it, treason
here is limited to levyng war upon the State.
These sentiments, however, stimulate to-
treason, and actors will soon be found. when
men of wealth and social position-mep
most prominent in the eommunity-arc
found to proclaim aud justify she proceeding.
Such a revolution as this book proclaims is
a revolution aginst the right of self,govern-
mcnt, which every State in the Union now
possesses, aud by its natural reaction on the
North would inhict a deadly wound at our
own liberties, by destroying the very princi-
pie on which they are based, On the day
in which the first blow should be struck,
confidence would cease to exist in the North
as well as in the industry and com
merce would stop, and the value of both
labor and properly decline immensely Yet
we are told that prudent men counsel it,
pious men sanction it, and patriotic men
sustain it.
We are 10th to believe it; and we call
upon the prominent men whose names are
affixed to the Endorsement of these revolu. |
tionary and reasonable doctrines to come
out and say if they carry them in their
hearts and proclaim them to their followers.
We call upon you, Edwin D. Morgan, Coy
ernor Of the State of New York and on
you, cx Judge Charles A. Peabody of the
Supreme Court aud on you, J S. +. Stran.

man of the New York Republican State
Central Committee; and on you, Edward
Ketchum, Chairman Of the 0pdyke city

Dudley Field, member of the New York
bar; and ou all the wealthy and prominent
citizen whose names are given as the pro.
moIcrs Of revolution which is to bathe our
whole country in blood, and destroy its
dearest rig is, to tell the world if this thing
has been done with your knowledge aud
consent, and if you have calmly weighed tie
consequen es of such a conflict as You are
procained as snnctionIng.
That the wild fanatics whose names are
linked with yours in this infamous work
the raving abolitionists, the insane philoso.
pliers of Eourierite phaansteries, the penni
less adventurers who have nothing to lose
aud all to gain in a social upheaviug, and
the ambitious demagogaos who would rule or
ruin, should utter such sentiments, or in
cucate such a strife, is not surprising. But
hat you, men of substance, bonored citizens,
aud many of you rulers in the land, who
have soemnly sworn to uphold the Consti-
luton of the State and Of the United States
should be thus traitors to your duty as citi-
zens, false to your oaths as rulers, and re.
gardless of the rights of your brethren as
men, must shock those who have hitherto
,on6ded in you, alarm those who have
obeyed you, and strengthen those who have
opposed you. Hinton Rowan Helper pro,

and your fellow, citizens wait to hear your
ewn plea Of guilty or not guilty.
