The fanatical Aboiftionists are ~ active an exe,
In their deviiiah work Of stirring up sersiIe sar
rection at the South. They proceed now LTD,
less openly and directly, but their aim ID tie same
and the ingenuity with which they puraus It non
the less observable. A few months ago they mad
direct appeals to fhe slaves To revolt, and thei
agent, John Brown, even attempted to make fheI
revolt; and IN default Of their doing It, he revoIte
for them. Now, their arguments and persuasion
are Of an indirect nature. They do not ask th
Southern slaves to rise against their masters an,
promise aid and comfort in the struggle that suel
course would create, but they pick ont, as oh
jects OF particular giorifcation and commentator
negroes who have reyolted against their owners
and praise and justify the white men who did assis
them. They keep the fact fresh, that there have
been such thngs as successful negro insursections
and by that fact, they suggestiyely incuIcate Tho
doctrine that there may be such things again
They hold up as worthy of laudation such white
people as gave aid to negro insurrectionists, and
thereby ncite the fheughtless to follow their ex-
ample, in case there should be another seryie re.

In pursuance Of this Internal plan, we find that
arch Abolitionist, Wendell Phillips delivering lee
lures in New York and other Northern cities upon
Toussaint L'0uverture, the leader Of the negroes
Of st. Domingo, ia their successful revolt against
their masters, at the close Of the last century,
Though the lecturer pretendedIy selects listori-
cal character as the subject Of his lecture, It il
plain that he uses him merely as an excuse for the
ventilation Of the principles Of the Aboltionist
party Of the United States. He announced, at the
beginning Of his lecture, that he would show that
the much despised negro race--that race which
we trample under foot and declare to be unfit
for anything but to carry our burdens-is in
every respect equal to the Saxons. and wher
ever it has had an opportunity of displaying
itself, it has done as much as any other race Of
men to entite it to place in the page Of history.
And in pursuance of his intention proceeds to
gorify and praise his negro hero, magnify his
virtues, and exaggerate his achievements and ex-
ploits. According to Phillips, no race of men,
either ancient or modern, ever displayed as much
courage, humanity and forbearance, as did the ST.
Domingo negroes; nor did any soldier ever exhibit
