The Madness OF Democratic Organ =
Sowing the Seeds of Insurectlon.

NtVm uie ot. Louis news
The insanity of old Brown in supposino
that with nineteen white men and five ne,
groes he could overthrow the United States
Government, liberate all the slaves in the
South, and establish Provisional Govern
ment, with himself and Cabinet of equal
fanatics at the head Of affairs, was .desper-
ate beyond all human experience. But de-
plorablo and desperate as his folly was, it is
even excelled by the foolish madness of
the editors of those journals published in
stdVehotding States that are trying to make
it appear that the Republican party of the
country is responsible for Old Browns deeds,
and that they sympathize with the failure
of his murderous aims
AS We observed the other day, the Re-
publican party poled in the late Presiden-
tial campaign over 100000 votes. The
party has steadily increased since, and
would now, no doubt, poll 100000 votes.
tbs unquestionable, and the returns to the
next Congress indicate it, that every Free
State in the Union, save two or three, has
sided irrevocably with the Republican par
ty, and there is no eJ5 to tie tide that bears
public sentiment in the Free States towards
tie principles Of tie Republican party, the
only one Of which affecting Slavery is, that
Il shall not be ertended into Territories or
States already free.
Not single organ of the Republican
party has yet failed to condemn and exc
crate the reasonable madness of Old Brown.
No member of the Republican party, from
one end of the Union to the other, has spo-
ken word of sympathy for his murderous
designs. Such being the fact, patent to all
men, we ask, what but the most amazing
madness on the part of Southern partizans
and Southern newspapers can lead them to
charge the Republican party of the coun-
try, and ts million and a half voters, with
completely with the horrible crimes of in
surrection, treason, rape, arson and nsur-
der! Does not every member of the Re
publican party know in his heart, that
this charge is an dccurSed lie, and will the
million and half voters of that party be
so complaisant as to change their politics or
quit voting, because of these baselibels on
theircharacterb by democratic partizan prints
We know better than this. The world
knows better. And the result will prove
that party when aggravated By insult and
contumely is rendered far more formidable
than when lullcd to peacefulness by the Just
dealings of an honorable aud generous ad-
versary.
What will be the end of these insane H.
bells, circulated through the Slaveholdng
States by Democratic prints? Why, this:
they will not convert the Republican party.
They will not stay its present triumphant
march. They will not prevent its ousting
the National Democracy from Federal pow
or, and installing, we trust, conservative
statesman, like Bates or Bell, in the Presi-
dency. But when this happens, what shall
we see in those Slaveholding communities
where the insane libels of these Democratic
prints have circulatedi The newspapers
will have told the Slaves that the triumph
of the Republican party will be the signal
of their deliverance from bondagel They
will have assured the servie race that the
arms and power Of the United States Gov
ernment will, in Republican hands, be used
in their behalf in last grand conflict with
their master!
The credulous and doomed creatures will
believe it all-sad fatal, heU.bornE lie though
ii be-and they will dance with frenzied
JOY around their camp-fres some night, and
meet dreadful and exterminating slaugh-
ter before the setting of the next days sun
Such is the solution of the Slavery ques-
tion that the Democratic organs and parti-
zans are provided, by their desperate libels
on majority of the independent voters of
the Union! If these madmen donot bathe
the South in the blood of a sel.created
servile insurrcction, it will be because the
triumphant Opposition of 1860 interposes
to suppress servile outbreaks, and to pre-
serve the guarantees of the Constitution and
the Union, in regard to Slavery, by all the
powers of She Federal Government.
