From the letter of Forbes to the Engnsn
society it il clear that it is encouraging ana
fomenting treason aud rebellion in this c0un-
try, with view to dissolution of the Union.
Among its agents and emissaries, according to
Cooks confession, is the Englishman Richard
Realf and we know that Redpath and Forbes
are also from England, and that ut least one Of
them has been carrying on a reasonable COR
Tespondence on the part OF the conspirators
here with the abolitionists at the other side Of
the Atlantic. John Brown, it appears, was too
soon with bis outbresk-just little ahead OF
time. by this mistake the designs Of the con-
spirators are bafied for the present; but they
are at work again; and the proof Of this Is to be
found in the kind Of book they are circulating
far and wide In this handbook of treason
the South is doomed to the horrors of civil
war, and the Shareholders are held up to exc
Grafton as fit objects for determination by "the
sword OF the Lord and of Gideon" And when
we find that the work is endorsed by Governors
of States, by distinguished United States Sena-
tors, by numerous members of Congress, and
by the leading republican journals Of the
country, there is only too much reason to fear
that the design Of the book will be accom-
plished in another raid into the Southern
States, but on larger scale and with such
means and appliances as will insure greater
measure of success than that which attended
abe foray of John Brown. 1t appears from the
correspondence of Forbes that the name Of
the Governor Of Vermont is mixed up in this
grave matter; if he is not so deep in the bust.
ness as he is suspected of being he owes it to
himself and to the State of Vermont to come
forward and define his position.
What are the people of the South to think
when they see the names of Governors, Sena-
tors and Congressman of Northern States iden
titled with the meditated destruction Of their
institutions by violence and bloody strife? We
have made merry with the fright of the Virgin
ians; but If NortberDers we're in their situation
it is probable they would feel in the same way
Amidst so many causes at the North for alarm,
the VirginiaDs are able to see very little that
is of a character to reassure them, and we
must confess that we are in the same predica-
ment If there be a conservative element
among us, we should like to see it before 1t is
too late. If it really exists, let it come forward
and assume the attitude of manhood. that inso
lent rampant treason may be rebuked and be-
come abashed. But there mig as well be no
conservatism, if it skulks into holes and corners,
and is afraid to confront red.mouthed rebellion
in The light of open day.
An ATRoCIous ABOLITION RvsE-Seyegal
Irish citizens of New York have received copies
of vile. circular, melting the Irish in the
North to burn factories and granaries in re-
taliation for incendiarism at the South. Two
Of the persons who have called upon us re-
ceived copies from Richmond Virginia, and
one from Montgomery, Alabama. We have
seen the envelopes and the postmarks, and it is
very evident that the abolitionists have printed
it here, and sent an agent with it over the South
to mail it in different towns, in order to make
believe that it emanated from Southern men
It is a horrible attempt to brand the Irish of
the North as men who could be used as incen-
diaries.
The circular is as follows
