And the robbers and murderers who attempted it

Another Instruction Case.
Frankfort and Versailles Threatened !!
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
The citizens of Frankfort the capital of the State
and Versailles in Woodford county, have been ex-
cited for some days, but by no means alarmed at a
report of threatened rising of the negroes in those
counties.
On Saturday dispatch from Harper's Ferry, Va,
advised the Mayor of Frankfort that the negroes
the instigation of some white scoundres, designed
an attack on that city and Versailles And when
these places fell it was their intention to devasate
the country around.
The information was obtained through an inter-
cepted letter from an Abotionist named Day, adj
dressed TO 0ssawatomie Brown. The intelligence
was so direct and of such an alarming character
that Mr.. Hunter the prosecuting attorney at
Charlestown, Va, deemed it his duty to advise the
authorities in Frankfort as above.
Immediately on its reception the Mayor of Frank
fort called the trustees together to devise to
avert such calamity. Precautionary measures
were taken in that city and also in Versailles, by
appointing a extra police force and patrols for each
district in the counties. The new military company
organized last week in Versailles ready to
spond with alacrity at the first sound of the tocsn
of war.
This Aboitionist Day has been connected with
the notorious Della Webster, who was once in the
Kentucky penitentiary for running off negroes. He
was driven away from Trmble county some years
ago for his negro stealing propensties. II he is
caught on this side of the river again We reckon he
will be lung He deserves it.

platform of the Black Republicans so far it OPP
poses the further extension of slavery into free
territory. We are not disposed to question the
truth of the assertion. The entire people of the
North adverse to the extension of slavery, and
is that they will let slavery alone-leaving the
Constitution and the laws to decide any question
that may arise out of the subject. The positions
they occupy this particular point, constitute the
distinction between radicals and conservatives.

be true but that whole occurrence seems to have
taken the shape of political clap-trap, and the
democrats are lying about it and the Republicans
are following suit. 1t is stretching creduity too
far to believe that any portion Of the people of the

they must have more sense now than to cross the
Virginia line with any hostile intent.
