The London Herald, of the 2Sth of December
remarks:
By coDsenting to send representatives to the
Congress, Lord Palmerston has committed this
country to what will probably eventuate in a use
eSS dscfedltaole, and expensive effort of unnatu-
raj interference, not necessary, desirable and
we are convinced not wished for, by the majority
of our countrymen. There is too much reason to
suppose, either that the French Emperor has again
oegued Lord Palmerston, as he did in the Con
spiracy Bill or that the latter is again PLAYING his
old game of diStracting public attention from
home affairs
letter from Turin of the DIST December, saws:
Trieste continues very desolate the separation of
l-omoardy from the Austrian empire having been
very prejudicial to its commercial interests This
INJURY will become still more severe when the transit
trade from Switzerland towards the East shall be-
come more generally directed towards Genoa The
commercial community of Trieste already call Tor,
III the event of Italian Confederation being form
ed, the establishment of Zolverein, of which We
netla would be part. In this the question of
the customs would become a very serious one for
the whole ofthe Austrian empire. Austria will per-
haps eude the Italian Zollveren as she has the
German one, but it will be a subject of great dis
content in Venetia.
Stuttgardt letter says:-
A meeting of patriots has inst taken place at
GGppingen, composed of men who declined Joining
the National Society founded at Frankfort on ac-
count OF the supremacy accorded to Prussia, and
the exclusion of Austria By the programme of that
society. The GGppingen meeting however ad-
heres to the principles of the National Society on
all other points, and voted several resolutions in
accordance Herewith.
A BRITISH APPEAL TO NORTHERN CON
SERVATISM.
From the London Times, Dec. 2S.I
| We were not wrong in supposing that the en-
| thusiaSm for John Browns memory would speediIv
die out, and that the vagaries of the abolitoniss
would cause revusion of feeling in favor of the
south By the present mail we learn that the
country Is most indignant at the Bostonians and
they themselves seem to be not little ashamed of
their proceedings. The capital of Massachusetts,
was, on December s, the of demonstration
IN favor OF the Union, and the more sensible por-
ton of the citizens had an opportunity of protest
ing against the doings of their abolition brethren
The tone of this meeting patriotic and be-
coming as the speeches at fremont Temple were
the reverse Mr. Everett, a man respected through
out the Union, delivered a speech which will, no
doubt, produce great effect in all parts of the
republic He showed the wckedness of Browns
attempt, reminded his hearers that the old man had
long medtated raising revolt; that he aided
by abolitionist money, and supplied with abolition
lSt guns and pixies; that his plan was well consid-
cred, inasmuch as he seized the largest arsenal in
that part OF the country, full of and occupy
ing good position; and that his enterprise only
tailed because the slaves not ripe for nsurrec-
ton, as they were represented to be.
Mr. Everett then read extracts from the narrative
OF the revolt in st. Domingo, to show the horrors
which necessarily follow from such an outbreak as
| Brown sought to cause, aud he might certainly
have directed attention to the present state of the
island as proof of how little the world likely to
gain by the establishment of negro common
wealth. Using the arguments which suggest them
selves to every rejecting man, he called upon the
people of the North to discontinue the system of
provocatiOn which they have used towards the
Spt thapY, all,
the Union, which abolitionist madness had endan-
gered. The reception of Mr.. Everett was most en-
thusiastic, and his eloquent appeal will no doubt
produce the best effect both on his own neighbors
and on the irritated Southerners.
In many other places meetings have been held
| TO express sympathy with Virginia. and adherence
OF such schemes as that of Brown and his assoc-
ates. In New York a manifesto to the same effect
has been circulated and numerously signed and
there is no doubt that the feeling in the country
will be such as to strengthen the Federal Govern
ment and the several Southern States against such
maefActOrs for the future. In this result we most
sincerely rejoice Mr. Everett, in his speech, ex-
pressed apprehensOns for the future of the Union
IN which we should not have been inclined to share
But, as his experience and observation on this sub
Ject have been very great, we must conclude thu
OF late the party war has been carried on with a
| vlruence which leads even people accustomed to
American exaggeration to feel that there is dan
ger; and, indeed, the attempt at Harper's Ferry
must necessarily have brought new considerations
| into the controversy.
Formerly, the North contented itself with at
tacKng the planters in newspapers speeches, and
decoying away or giving shelter to their negroes;
but now the abolitionists have gone step further
and the crusade is for the slaughter of the white
people, and the establishment of halEcast repub-
lie, after the model of the Central American com
| munltle5. The Nlrginans may hitherto have been
contented to live under the same government as
people who merely wrote at them and preached at
them; but when it comes to revolution and murder
the case is widely different. The States which pro-

excused for declining to descend to the Level of Hay
ii or Costa Rica. Men of the purest English blood
may well shrink from turning their country into
| region in comparison with which Mexico would be
gentle and enlightened But there are still more
pressing considerations. After all, security for life
and property is the great object of society, and
the Southerners have been called upon to de-
eide whether they can, in justice to themselves,
their wives and children, live under the same fed

purpose to revoutionize the South by force OF

1t was boosted in Boston that from John Browns
ashes armed men would spring carry on the war
for the liberation of the slaves. The people of the
frontier Southern States may be excused for taking
these expressions literally, and demanding some
guarantee that there shall not be periodical seizures
OF federal arsenals, indictments of the negroes to
murder, and imprSonments of inoiensive citizens,
by abolitiOnist bands. The Federal Union presumes
the disarmament of State with respect to
another. Virginia and Kentucky have not men
ready posted to protect them from invasion by their
Northern countrymen. 1t is not the duty of each
State to defend itself against its neighbors, and
'rhen te necessity for such cigance arises the objects
Of The federation gone. The SOutherners may
well say that they to be exposed to these in
roads, they must have their own army and navy to
protect themselves, and that however much they
regret the disruption OF nation which has existed
in prosperity for eighty years vet that the necessity
of selfpreservation dictates this course
1t is for the whole body of honest and rejecting
men throughout the United States to unite in calm
ing these natural fears The union of the Ameri-
can people Is ofimportance not only to themselves
but to the world at large. To Englishmen the
spread OF our language, OF our religion, and, to
certain extent, of our laws and manners can never
ceas to be object of interest; can we desire
success to the fanatics, who in their wild dream of
raising an inferior would imperil all that has
been accomplished in the New World during two
centuries OF industry and genius. That the harsh
ness of masters in the Southern States NAV be les
sened, that the slaves may receive education and
moral instruction, and that ultimately slavery may
be changed into system by which the colored race
shall enjoy personal liberty and the legal rights
which are necessary for the preservation of life and
property, we most heartily desire; but anything
| further we cannot join in seeking. Well might Mr.
| Everett ask, elias any one whose opinion is enti-
tied to the slightest respect ever undertaken to
sketch out the details of a plan for eGecting abo
lon at once by any legislative measure that could
| be adopted ?'
The aboitionists would have the population of
| the Southern States turned into a mixed race
whites, blacks and mulattoes being on terms Of
equality, and constantly intermarrying; but if one
thing more than another has tended to give to the
Anglo-SaXon in the New World the victory
over the Spanish, it is that it has kept itself apart
from the red and negro races, and lodged power
constantly in the hands of men of European origin
1t has been fully proved, not only on the American
continent but in colonies, that the en-
forced equality of European and African tends not
to the elevation of the black but the degradation of
the white man. We cannot find anv sympathy for
| those who would try in the United States the plan
| OF halt-caste republic, and we trust that the fed
era government and the right-thinking part of the
| community will protect the South from the repei-
tion OF such outrages that at Harper's Ferry
