A Kew to the Late Rebellion.

We have seen published in one or two
papers, what purports to DC deep laid and
daring scheme by which the abolitionists
proposed to emancpate slavery at the South,
and which affords full solution TO all that
may seem mysterious in the late outbreak
at Harper's Ferry. 1t is a scheme more
hellish and diabolcal in its character, than
even the most suspecting among US at the
South have ever conceived the viest of
the abolition at the North capable of enter
tanning. Being highly inccndiary in rts ma
ture, it might be well for Southern papers
not to extend its publication. In reference
to it, the Charleston Mercury makes the
following very appropriate comments
THE Plan OF INsURRECTIoS.-Alth
Browns effort at an insurrrction has been
silly and abortive, the Developments are
rapidly showing that widespread scheme
was maturing ut the North for insurrections
throughout the South. a carefully concoc-
ted plan is published in the New York Ile..
aid, republishcd in the Richmond Wing,
and Incorporated into the address of the
Democratic Committee of the CITY of Now
York in an address to people OF New York,
by which slavery was TO be overthrown in
the South with the aid of military force
from the North. We forbear laying this
scheme before our readers on account OF
it's inccndiary nature, but we advise our
readers 10 get il and read 1t for themselves.
Ii Will give them clearer insight into the
true relations they. occupy IN the Union,
and the "priceless value" of its continu-
ance to them. than any other document
which has yet seen the light IL is no an
swer to say that the diuboliral incendiaries
who Gan in cold blood get up such scheme
for our destruction, are comparatively few
in tho North. Ii IL enough for us to know
that, few or many, they have by the Con
stitution of the United States, the right TO
come aud live among us-and in their good
time carry out their purposes and even if
their purposes should fail again and again,
and scaifold after Scaiiold shall drip with
Their gore, the elements of mischief md
trouble may survive them. and give new I'M
pulse TO future adventures and fanatics-
The great source Of the evil is, that we are
under ono government with these people
that by the constitution they deem them
| selves responsible for the institution Of
slavery, and, therefore, they seek TO over

government Of our own, the post Office, all
the avenues of intercourse, the police and
military Of the country, would be under
! our exclusive control. Aboliiionism would
die out at the North, or its adh'rents would
nave TO operate in the South as foreign en-
| isaries, in a country armed and prepared TO
exclude their intercourse or arrest their de.
| signs, and punish tfeir intervention. AS it
is, the "rrepressible conflict" Of Seward is
destined to 60 on, although it may be check
ed and suppressed by repeated failures, un-
| Ill enc of two things shall take place-the
| Union shall be dissolved or slavery shall
be abolished. The experience Of the last
twenty-five years, of ignOminous federation
and concession by the South, with the lights
of the present reflected on them, show to
the most bigoted UniOnlst that there is no
peace for the South in the Union, from the
forbearance or respect Of the North. The
South must control her own destinies or
perish.
