One Of the inevitable pbsses Of Sew
ards I" irrepress,ble conflict has
opened upon us. The startling scenes
which have jast dsgraced Hapers
Ferry. and which will be found de-
tailed else~herr: 10 thi. dsy's News,
give it, suitable inaugural on 10 the
Black Republican campa go. HAr-
,er'- Ferry is one If tue first towns
in J fferson county, Va, and roman
tea ~ si'astei a. the confluence OF
the Po,ouac and Shenandoah river,
under the Blue Ridge. 1t IS just the
spot which Thomas ferson deem' d
above all descr piion, unless what
could Lc paint d a. "the most stu
pendous scene 10 oil creation. Aud
it vas here. Significantly enough, iha,
Seward, ST. apressib e conflict the
DRY took us fist practical shape on
Yesterday. The Abolrtionists and ne
groes. as well became their piighted
faith and blended interests, have CO.
al.sced, and, f'nging aside oil regard
for Law aud order, have taken an at
ti,ude Of open instruction. They
have taken Stewards policy and put
ITS principle to some purpose. They
have stepped out Of the lines Of pru-
dcnce which the wiser sustainers OF
that policy 10 doub. inculcated, and
dashed Mt once into the arms Of the
real ''ilrepressitle coutlict." The AT
thOr,ty OF the States has been as
sailed anc set ut defiance. The pos
sessions Of the Government have
been ruIely captured. The State and
Federal treasures which were within
reach Of the AboIi'ionist mob have
been pIundered, The "irrepresslbe
conflict" has spared nothing in Its way
and bad no concern Tor the Interrupt
ton OF ordinary business traffic, hay
ing wasted all in iartherlng the ends
Of he extraordinary conflict, OF which
We fear this specimen is but an ire
pressble traction. We say irrepres
siLle in this connection, because We
do not think the day will come i'll
our time when fanaticlsm can lie

The uarper's Ferry, made sadly
notorious through the scenes We to
day report, was once known by the
nan of Shenandoah Falls. Its pres
cnt dcrignston was taken from he
famous Terry which there crosses the
Potomac. The little town enc'rcIes
h II, and has the IepuI alton Of be-
ing a very prosperous place. The
United States armory, which is now
in the hands Of the ,cbcllous Sew
ard'te fact Ion, employs usually about
three hundred persons, and the arse
MI gives work and federal pay 10
several others. Nearly one hundred
thousand stand of arms are regularly
in change Of tho arsenal custOd ans,
aud some ten thousand muskc,s arc
sent uut by the srmory mechanics
every year. The village is especial :,

ment, yet, and perhaps not unna'u
raj y, IT 10 there that the fist pracli-
cal symptom OF the "nr,p'essiblc

iii rs Of the States md the militia 81
V"giria have had to equip and &C
forth to SUI press the Sewardi,es who
have thus too poln,edly and prema

That the refractory slaves and Their
wicked Abolition st gu dcs will soor
