SENSIBLE DEDUCTIoN-W make tho fol-
lowing extract from an editorial in tho New
York Times:
In and of itself it is simply an anorv
meteor shot athwart the sky, by Which
shareholders and slaves alike seem 10 have
been not unrcosonably appalled,, and which
has startled the North, we feel warranted
in saying, quite asthoroughly as the South.
It's Portent certainly not to be lightly
pondered, thai such agrotcsqucly frightful
episode should have been possible in our cur

shock 1t has administered, we must honest

vast possibilities of evil sleep in our ancrv
sectional politics. We have been SUFFERING
the extremists of one and other party to
go on trading for years in the fierccst of
lntcrncclnc passions as composedly as if no
mischief could ever come of such lirht

and foolish confidence in pieces. If we
are not really the blindcst people that ever
existed, and judcally set apart for destruc
ton, we ought now to begin to sec that the
most important political work we nave to
do is to combine as one people in the re-
solve to put this tremulous social question
OF slavery out of the reach of partizan ap
