bable Triumph OF Black Republican
Revolution.
The rebellion at Harper's Ferry the public
preaching Of rank treason, such as Wendell Phil
lips lessons for the Hour" delivered in Hen
ry Ward Beecher's church with tremendous
applause; the more covert but not less danger
GUS incubation of the same principles and acts
by Beecher himself in his sermon, which has
gained such popularity as to be repro
duced in the Independent Of this day; the
open-mouthed, outspoken endorsement of the
treason and the traitors by Senator Wilson,
and the course of the leading journals Of the
republican press which have commented on
the bloody business, either by glorying in II,
like Phillips, and exalting "old Brown" to the
rank of demi-god, or by expressing regret,
not for what has been done, but that Il has been
done so badly, and that so little success has
attended the performance all these are Dor
tentous signs Of the times, well calculated to
alarm the conservative classes Of the CON-
munity, as clearly indicating the rapid progress
Of revolutionary principles in the North--the
gathering and marshalling Of thunder clouds
from the horizon to the zenith, which threaten
to explode in fearful tempest when they meet
the dark lowering masses, charged with electri-
city, coming from the opposite heavens
The sanguinary and fatal riots at the Balt-
more election yesterday, subverting law and
order, and overthrowing the constitutional
rights Of citizens by violence and force Of
arms, under the very eye of the authorities,
and with their evident connivance, show that
revolutionary violence Is making headway
also in the South, and has become popular
there to an alarming extent. This dangerous
element seems to be gaining strength every
day, and spreading like the plague or an un-
conquerable fire. 1t thirsts for blood both
North and South and forebodes reign Of ter
ror. The fact Of such sermon as Beecher's
being received with boundless fclot and the
fact Of the address Of Phillips being not only
tolerated, but applauded to the echo, in the
most popular church Of "the City of Churches"
proclaim more forcibly than volumes of words
the danger which is looming up In such for
midable dimensions
In these indications many of the wisest and
best men Of the country see imminent danger
Of convulsion which may shake the Union
from it's foundations, and light up the flames Of
civil war from Maine to Texas, and from New
York to California Sedition and treason, re-
bellion and revolution, already becoming
rapidly popularized, have received
sudden and tremendous impetus from the
outbreak in Virginia and the trial which fol-
lows upon its heels, creating an immense SYM
pathy for the principal actor in the drama
sympathy which will be raised to the boiling
point if his sentence should be carried into
execution, and he should die martyr In the
cause. There is nothing the black republican
revolutionary leaders and journalists so much
desire and are laboring 80 hard to bring about
as the martyrdom Of their "saint," for the
blood Of the martyrs is the seed of political as
we'll as religious sects. Hence the audacity Of
the Wall street organ of the conspiracy in chal-
longing Governor Wise to hang the convicted
traitor.
From all these symptoms and evidences of
the popularity of revolution in the North, there
can be little doubt of the triumph of the black
republican revolutionary ticket IN this State in
the ensuing week. 1t represents the ideas and
principles Of William H. Seward, who in his
Rochester manifesto foreshadowed the "irre-
pressible conflict" the first blow of which
was struck at Harper's Ferry, that scene
OF blood, according TO the revelations
