Reward for TRAITORS.

A Richmond (Va.) paper contains
the following specimen of advertising
literature
100000 Reward.-Messrs. Editors
I will be one of one hundred gentle
men who will give twenty-five dollars
each for the heads Of the tollo,0ing Trait

for Fred. Douglass, but regarding him
a head and shoulders above these Trai
tors, will permit him to remain where
he now is. RICHMOND.

Tho Irrepressible Conflict.

Tho Irrepressible Conflict.
The doctrine Of the "Irropressible
Conflict" was first clearly stated, in a
letter to a friend by
THOMAS JEFFERSON IN 1921,
Nothing is more certainly written in
the book of fate than these people (ue-
gro slavos) are to be free; nor is it less
certain that the two forms of society
cannot be perpetuated under the same
government"
In a speech before the American Col
onization Society, it was thus ro.afirm-
ed by
HENRY CLAY IN 1927.
"Until universal darkness and despair
shall prevail, it will be impossible to
REPREss the sympathios and the efforts
Of free men in behalf Of the unhappy
portion of our race who are doomed to
bondage"
According to EDWARD EVERETT, the
sentiment was fully endorsed by DAN
TEL WEBSTER. We next find it during
the last Presidential campaign in the
organ Of Gov. WISE.
THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER IN 1856
1.-TWO opposite and conflicting forms of
society cannot, among civilized men, CO.
exist and endure The one must give
way and cease to exist-the other be-.
come universal.
IF free society be unnatural, immoral
unchristian, it must fall and give way
to slave society-a social system as old
as the world, as universal as Man"
It was then stated in a speech at Ro-
chester delivered by
WILLIAM II. SEWARD IN 1858.
"Whilst referring to the collisions
which had occurred between the two
systems of labor in the United States,
he said 1T (tbe collision) is an ire
pressible conflict between two opposing
and enduring forces and iOneans that
the United States must and will, sooner
or later, become either a slaveholding
nation, or entirely q frec.labor ma
ton
He also said, "Whilst l confidently
believe and hope that my country will
yet become a land of universal Free
dom, I do not expect that it will be
made so otherwise than through the ac-
ton of the several States cooperating
with the Federal Government, and all
acting in strict conformity with their
respective Constitutions"
From the above it will be seen that
the idea ofau "irreprcssiblo conflict" was
by no means original with Mr.. SEW
ARD. He was at least three years be-
hind the Democratic organ, the Rich
mond Enquirer, in onunoiating the doc
trino that was, from 1921 to 1856, re-
garded as orthodox, but which is now
denounced as reasonable.

Right Talk in the Right Quarter.
We find in the Baltimore Patriot the
right talk in the right quarter It takes
Disunion right by the throat.
Says The Richmond Enquirer:
"Let us establish a strict espionage
over all visitors from the North, and a
stricter espionage over all Virginians
who deal or associate with them
Replies the Patriot:
"Whatever you may do with visitors
from other States, we take it, when your
party sets out to invade the rights OF
Virginions, it will raise storm that
will not be speedily calmed"
Says The Enquirer
"Let us prepare for Disunion; not
precipitate it. Between this and the
4th Of March, 1861, the Union cannot
harm US.
The Patriot:
"Listen to this -blooded ezhorta-
ton, ye Union men of the South
Have you no hemp for tho traitors
neck that can ooolly preach such rank
treason as this to our beloved Union?"
The Enquirer:
"He Gov. Wise) is the political lead
er of the "new departure" Of the
South-of a new School in politics"
Replies The Patriot:
awe should think so. Does Mr.. Wise
seek to outrun the traitor Brown We
sincerely hope not. He had better
ponder over Cataline Calhoun's pru-
dence."
The Enquirer again:
"In the event of disunion, if we are
wary and prudent, the dividing line will
run hundred and fifty miles north of
Mason and Dixon's, and Of the Ohio. +"
The Patriot:
"Never, with the consent Of old Ma
rylaud The American party of our
beloved State, and all Union Domocra-
tic brethren, with one loud voice, res
pond to this infamous suggestion-Nov-
er, never, never! Let other States do
as they may, Maryland will be found
true 70 the Constitution, and if every
one of her sisters were to withdraw, she
would still be found bearing aloft the
flag Of the Union, even though but one
single stripe shall be left upon its glo-
riOus folds"

The Jackson Idea.

In 1882, when Gen. Jackson was
President Of the United States, South
Carolina was fierce for dissolution of
the Union, but falling to induce any
other States to join her in her treasona-
bic project she proposed to secede from
the Union alone, and commenced max
ing preparations to carry out that amia-
bic purpose. On tho 10th of Dec,
1882, old Hickory issued his famous
proclamation in which he thus disposes
of the South Carolina theory:
The Executive urged that teach State
having expressly parted with so many
powers as to constitute jointly with the
other States, single nation, cannot from
that period possess any right TO seoede,
because such secession does not break
league but destroys the unity Of a ma
tion, and any injury to that is not the
contravention Of a compact, but is an
offence against the whole Union. To
say that any State may at pleasure Sc
cede from tho Union, is TO say that the
United States are not a nation, because
it would be soleoism to contend that
any part Of a nation might dissolve its
connection with the other part to their
injury or ruin, without committing any
offence, Secession, like any other revo-
lutionary act may be morally justified
by the extremity Of oppression; but to
call II a Constitutional right, is con-
founding the meaning Of terms, and
can only be done through gross error,
or TO deceive those who are willing to
assert a right, but would pause before
they made a revolution, or incur the
penalties consequent upon q failure"
The Union must and will be proserv-
ed, in spite Of extremists North or South.

alton Of good habits of reading. Let us
suggest few short practical hints on
this subject:
First, resolve that you will begin To
read some standard historical work--oT
If not history, then biography--Hume,
Macaulay, Robertson, Prescott, Hildreth,
Irving's Washington, &c.
Second, resolve that for recreation,
you will read some book of travels or
vOyages-Kane's Arctic Expedition,
Taylor, Stephens, Humboldt, Atkinson,
&c,
Third, resolve that you will read these
works with dictionary, geography, and
chronological table at your side.
Fourth, resolve that you will make
your reading the subject Of oonvorsa-
tion in the family-nothing helps the
memory so much.
Fifth, resolve that you will readaloud,
for your own good, and for the good of
others sitting around. This will eoono-
mize the family. time, increase their

Origin of Slavery.

Mr. Bancroft. in the first volume of his history of lhe Unned States. glves an ac. conni of the early traffic of ihe Europeans in slaves. In he middle ages the Vene- tians purchased white men, Christians aud others. and sold lhem to he Saracrns in Sicily and Spain. In England. the Anglo. Saxons sold ti.er servants as slaves to foreigners The Portuguese frs, ia.-
 ported negro slaves from western Africa
 into Europe in l442. Spain soon en- gagged in ihe traffic. and negro slaves
 abounded in some places of that kingdom
 After America was d discovered the Indians of Hispanlola were imported nio Spain and made slaves. The Spaniar,ls visited
 the coast of North America and kidnap- ped thousands of the Indians. whom they transported into slavery in Europe and the West Indies. Columbus himself kid- mapped five hundred native Amerlcans, and sent them into Spain, that they might be publicly sold at Seville. The practice of selling North American Indians into
 bondage continued two enquiries. Negro slavery was first introduced into America
 by Spanish shareholders who emigrated
 wllh their negroes. A royal edlc, ol
 Spain authorlzed negro slavery in Ameri-
 ca in l5lS King Ferdinand sen. from
 Seville fifty slaves 10 labor in he mines.
 In 1881, the direc, traffic in slaves be- tween Africa and Hispaniola was enjoyed l by royal ordinance. Las Casas. who saw the Indians vanishing away before ihe cruelty of the Spaniards, suggested ibal the negroes. who alone copd endure the severe tolls, might be further employed
