ALARMING CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY
PROBABLE TRIUMPH OF BLACK REPUB1I-
CAN REVOLUTION.
The rebellion at Harpcrs Ferry; the public preach
ing of rank treason such Wendell Phillips Les
sons for the Hour" delivered in Henry Ward Beech
crs church with tremendous applause; the more
covert but not less dangerous medication OF the
same principles and acts by Beecher himself in his
sermon. which has gained such popularity as to DC
reproduced in the Independent of this day. the open
mouthed outspokcn 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 it, like Phillips, and exalting old
Brown" to the rank Of demi-god. or by expressing
regret not for what has been DONE but that it has
been done so badly, and that so little success has
attended the performance these are portentous
signs of the times we'll calculated to alarm the con-
sentative classes of the community, as clearly nd'-
eating the rapid progress of revolutionary principles
in the North--thc 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 cleo
tricity, coming from the opposite heavens.
The sangninary and fatal riots at the Baltimore
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 connvancc, show
that revolutionary violence is making Roadway also
in the South and has become popular there to an
alarming extent This dangerous element seems to
he gaining strength every day, and spreading like
the plague unconquerable fire. 1t thirsts for
blood both North and South, and forcbodes reign
of terror The fact Of such a sermon Beechcrs
being received with bonndlcss elat and the fact of
the address of Phillips being not only tolerated but
applauded to the echo, in the most popular church
of 1.-THE City of Churches" proclaim more fcrcibly
than volumes of words the danger which is looming
up in such formidable dimensions.
In these indications many of the wiScst and best
men of the country imminent danger of a con-
vnlson which may shake the Union from its fOun-
dations, and light up the flames of civil war from
Maine to Texas, and from New York to California
Sc,ltion and treason, rebellion and revolution al
ready becoming rapidly ropularizcd, have received
sudden and tremendous impetus from the outbreak
in Virginia and the trial which follows upon it,
heels, creating an immense sympathy for the prnci-
pal 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 much desire
and are aboring so hard to bring about as the
tyrdom of their saint for the blood of the martyrs
is the seed of political as we'll as religious ScctS-
conspiracy in challenging Gov. 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
VIM. H. Seward, who in his Rochester manifesto
fnrcShadowcd the "rreprcssible conflict" the first
blow of which was struck at llarpcr's Ferry, that
scene of blood, according to the revelations of Col.
Forbes being in the minds eye of the apostle of the
higher law" when he issued his declaration of war.
The rebellion headed by John Brown is 1.-The lesson
Of the hour" diligently propasatcd by the black
publican leaders, and is but the sequel of the other
lessons they have so successfully taught for several
coming contest in this State and there every pros
poet Of its being endorsed hy large majority Of the
people.
Against this popular tMrore the hybrid democratic
ticket cannot succeed. The party is disoryanized,
and the Regency at Albany, who have uslrped its
management, are in league with the enemy. From
information we have received from that city learn
that they have refused to circulate documents sent
to them for the purpose of cnlightcnng the popular
mind at this important crisis Thus the necessary
information cannot reach the people, and they will
vote in the dark swaycd by revolutionary influences.
The trickcry which sold Wisc's private letter has
sold the democratic party and secretly sympathiscs
with the cause of revolution. The result is fore
gone conclusion. The revolutionary ticket will be
triumphant.
The effect of this will be that the South will take
Alarm and to anticipate the long ne,ltaed violence,
| will hold conventions and adopt measures to bring
about pcaceablc separation from the North, and
build fortresses along its frontier to protect il against
the future invasion of Northern bordcS. And here
in the North and particularly in this State and city,
property will be deprecated perhaps fifty per cent.
The severance of the South would utterly ruin the
! commercial, manufacturing and financial prosperity
of the Northern States, and the price of real estate
would be reduced in the same proportion. But the
apprehension of coming events will cast their shad-
| ows before. and very VIC shall see property
holders glad to sell their houses and lands for any
thing they can get for them. Such will be the first
fruits of the first battle of the "lrreprcssblc con-
| flict."
