Where will it End?

The Richmond Enquirer of the 9Th contains
strong article the effect of Wendell Phillips lee
ture in Brooklyn. The Enquirer, after showing
that such men as Phillips Seward, Smith, Greedy,
and Wilson really responsible for the treason OF
John Brown, adds: "All subjects of party politics
are forgotten in Virginia anxious enquiry is made
every day whether the Southern Senators will take
their seats with Seward Hale, and Sumner, impli-
Gated as they have been in this affair."" The New
York Herald copies the Enqurer's article, and SOL
emily warns the people of the North of the danger
of eecting the black Republican tickets in the States
which voted this week.
This lecture by Phillips in Brooklyn, is if possible
more intensely abolition and incendary than was
the speech of Giddngs delivered recently in Phia-
delphia. He justified and applauded John Brown
and his co-traitors-declared that Brown was the
man for the hour-expressed regret at the failure of
the Harper's Ferry movement and spoke in the most
insulting terms of the flag of the United States ard
of the State of Virginia. He was listened to by an
immense audience in Brooklyn, and cheercd by many
of them. Tom Corwin, of Ohio, was present as
listener and though he called on to speak, and
rose to excuse himself he had no words Of denun-
citation for the infamous traitor who had just preach
ed rebellion aud derded the flag of the Republic |!
We tell the people of the non-slavehodng States
that if the first and best man among US were thus
to revie them-were thus to approve of and ap-
plaud gang of nccndiaries who had attempted to
burn their houses and cut their throats--were thus
to sco at and the flag of the stripes he
would be taken down from the rostrum, and left Mt
least, to seek safety by flight No man in the
Southern States would he found so lost to justice,
to truth, to the Constitution, and to patriotism as
to encourage sach sentiments. And we also tell
the people of the non slaveholding States that if
they prefer Seward and the black Republicans to
the Constitution and the equal rights of the States
they have already in their minds and hearts. cut
the bands Of the Tnion The decision rests with
them. If for Seward, they are against us. The
people of the South will never consent that that
man shall rule over them. This is no idle threat
The Southern people are quite calm just now; they
are holding no meetings, passing no resolutions,
calling no Conventions to determine what they will
do. Their minds are already male up. If ma
jorty of the people of the non-s.avehoding States
were such men as Buchanan Dickinson Lane, Tou-
cey SEYMOUR Everett Fillmore and Pierce, the
try-the Union would be safe; but as it is con-
fess we fear the result
Congress will meet in December From the first
to the last day of the session the greatest excitement
may be expected. The President will do his duty.
His next message will no doubt be document which
will make its mark in history for all coming time.

anxious eyes are upon him. He will he calm, and
firm, and just, as Washington when he carried
the ark of independence on his shoulders; and il
the Republic should perish while in his hands, the
inexpia5le sin committed in destroying it, will moi
rise up against him either in life, "in the hour o.
DEATH" or in the day of judgment"
"God save the Republic"
