49, The N. y. -T.ne. lending RepubIicnn

DESy- The N. Y. Tnaes, a leading Republican
organ in 1856, speaking Of the agitation of slavery
and its effect developed at Ilapers Ferry, says
ave have been suffering the extremists Of one
and another party 10 60 trading for years in the
fercest Of nternecine passions composedly as if
no mischief could ever come Of such light matters
20 50 great Il nation ours "Mad John Brown
has done the State this service OF least that he has
dashed this false and foolish confidence in pieces
II We not the bndest people that ever existed,
and iudiciay set apart for destruction, We ought
now to begin to see that the most important politi-
cal work we have to do is to combine as people
ia the resolve to put this tremendous social question
of slavery out Of the reach Of partisan agtators.-
The South owes it to herself TO press this view Of
the matter calmly upon the Northern mind; and
may rest assured that her appeal to the practical
conservatism of the Free States will not be made
in vein if it be made temperately, earnestly, and
in good faith"
II the effort of old John Brown to rob and mur-
der the people of Virginia shall open the eyes of all
the Republicans to truth and justice, it has doue
those of the Times, the foul conspiracy will result
in great ultimate good to the whole country. And
why should it not If the Republicans nre not all
madmen we know not how any other result can
follow. They proclaim that it is not their intention,
where II exists; but when they see---as they now
do---hat the ianaticism they engender is carrying
its victims far beyond the limits prescribed by
their creed, ms to wage war upon the slave States
for the purpose of freeing slaves they must be base
ly wicked to persevere in the agitation OF the ques
ton which leads to such drefu results. And il
they intend not to violate the rights of slave States
but simply to oppose, by legitimate means the ex-
tension of slavery, surely they may well be con-
tent to leave the question TO the arbitrament OF
squatter sovereignty, and most promptly ought they
to do SO since southern democracy has magnani-
mously aided them in erecting that insuperable bar
rier to the further spread of slavery. Not foot Of
territory now owned by the United States can ever
become slave territory because the character of its
earliest settlers ard the climate combine TO prohibit
1t, and squater sovereignty signs the decree against
the South. Then if the Republicans do not mean
10 interfere with slavery in the States and seas
they can not fail TO do--that the South is excluded
and by its own sanc;ion--from all rights in Il g
Territories, there is nothing left to quarrel about
and they continue 10 agitate the question Ct
slavery only from motives Of the most wicked and
hostile character. The Times sees these things in
Their true light and the counsel it gives is wise aud
salutary and ought to be implicitly followed
