Ofthis affair, the Richmond Wig,
of d late date, says:s
1.-THE affair was a regular Abolition
conspiracy, extending throughoutthe en-
tire north, and embracingIa body 81
twelve or fifteen hundred men. who Were
pledged 10 active personal participation
in the invasion, and how many Others
who only renderedlaid and comfort,Io the
enterprise, we have no means of knowing.
Never was there a more cruel, heartless
and foolish conspiracy concooted on
earth. But it only, proves the utter
blindness and recklessness Of Abolition
ianaticism. and the necesshysof constant
vigilance on the part!of the Southern peo-
pie. Il demonstrates the necessity, 100.
Of the Northern people in a body and
with one voice. putting down and crash
ont such miserable incendisry Abolition
Wretches, las Giddings.I Garrison, Ffed
Douglas, Wendell Philips. Seward, Will
son and Sumner. These are all schem-
ers and coaspfrators against the lives and
property Of the Southern people, and the
Union. And that ciyiE. war may be
avefted, the masses Of the Northern peo-,
pie must rise in the might Of justice and
patriotism, and devotion to the public
safety, and set their seal Of eternal con.
domination On these bold, bad men and
their dangerous incendiary counsels. If
they do. not, and that promptly, the
Harper's Ferry conspiracy will consti-.
tute 1.-THE beginning Of an irrepressible
conflict between the North and the South,
which can only end IN the5utter destrtc-
ton Of the Federal Government and ID
oceans Of frateFnal Blood. Should this
Harpef's Ferry conspiracy not have the
effect Of opening the eyestof the masses
of the Northern people to the practical.

look for Ting years Of civil war, with All
its ealamities and INDISPENSABLE seonse
quences. The arrest ana punishment Of
all persons, in any way engaged il the
recent affair at Hafper's Ferry is The first
and highest duty Of orr State and FEEDER
at Government no matter who these per-
sons are or whore they may live. {. Alt
the powers Of the federal. government
and the Government pf Virginia, should
be- employed in bringing them To- speedy
Justice. If there. IS evidence showing the.

err OF, any other person, in this affair, lot
them be arrested, tried and convicted,
and punished. AS TO the prisoners who
were caught in the act. let them be hung,
and that forthwith. There should be- no
t&mporizing and no folding on the part
either of thef5P resident Or Of Governor
Wise. These insurgents are nothing
more nor less tllaH pffratesIand murderers,
