ABOLITION RAID.

Scarcely has the CONSERVATION
died away, caused by one of the
most heartless and diabolical at
tempts to revolutionize the insti-
buttons of our country by open de-
fiance Of law, than we are called
to look in horror and dismay at a
similar attempt at revolution and
instruction, all originating from
the same cause, and for which the
same party is responsible to the
country. In this instance, as in
the invasion of Virginia, at Har-
per's Ferry, the controlling spirits
could have been actuated by no
motive above that of the most de-
PRAYED and corrupt, and for the
same base and infamous purposes.
Our readers were informed last
week of the burning of the town
OF Dallas, in northern Texas. It
appears now that this fire was
the work Of Republican emissa-
rics, sent to incite the slaves in
Northern Texas to insurrection
and murder, and which thus fa1
has resulted in the total or par
tial burning Of several towns. -
This most diabolical plot involved
murder, outrage, and all that is
barbarous and bloody in servile
war. The following letter from
the scene is to the point and ex.
plains itself fully; read it:
Dallas, Jnly Is, 1860.
Capt, DeLisle--Dear SIR
written haste, that you may prepare
your people for the most alarming
state Of affairs, that has ever occurred
in Texas. On the 9Th Of July, thu
town Of Dallas was fred and the
whole business portion entirely con
sumed. Every store in town was de-
stroyed. The next day the dwelling
house Of J. j. Eakins was burned. Af:
l ter that the dwelling house of E. P
Nicholson was fred, but discovered in
time to arrest the flames On Thurs.
day the premises Of Grill Miller, with

a large amount OF oats, grain etc, Wer
totally consumed. This led to the arres
of some negroes and white men. 4
most diabolical plan was then discov
cred to devastate this entire portion o
Northern Texas, extending even t,
the Red River counties,
White men, friends of the Abolition
preachers, Blunt and Mckinney, who
were expelled from the country las
year, are the instigators Of the plot
The whole plan is systematically
conceived, and most ingeniously con
trived. 1t makes the blood run cold tt
hear the details. This whole country
was to be laid waste with fire, destroy.
ing all the ammunition, provisi o. MS
arms, etc, to get the country in q
state of helplesness, and then on
election day, in August, to make a
general insurrection, aided and assisted
by emissaries from the North, and per-
sons friendly to them in our midst
Their sphere of operations is districted
giving to each division a close super
vision by one energetic white man, who
controls the negroes as his subordl-
mates. A regular invasion and a real
intestine war. You all at Bonham are
in as much danger as we are. Be on
your guard. and make these facts known
by issuing extras to be sent in every
direction. All business has ceased,
and the country it terribly excited.
In haste, yours truly,
CHAs. r. PRYoR.
The following list of fires all
occurred on the same day, and
like the John Brown pixies, show
conclusively how comanenaable are
the purposes, and how peaceful
are the means, how mild the argu-
ments by which Lincoln and his
friendspropose making this union
'sall free" in carrying out the doc
trine of the ''irrepfessible conflict >

CONSOLIDATED.
The Chicago Times and Herald
are now consolidated and under
the editorial control of Hon, E.
w. McComas.
As the Herald has been the
ablest and the most judiciously
conducted paper in the North
West; those bestowing their pat
ronage upon it, will find it in its
new field of labor, not only con-
tinued with the ability that has
hi therto marked its career, but
they will find its entire influence
cast for the union and the integ-
rity of the Democratic organiza-
ton, the perpetuity of the Amer
lean union, and consequently for
the ratification by the people of
the principles Of non.intervention
enunciated at Cincinnati in 1856
and again reiterated and ex-
planned at Charleston and Balti-
more, as the creed of the party
upon the dlstracting question of
slavery in the Territories.

Burr and Breckenridge,

-, The following from the Louis
vile Democrat is one of the most
scathing articles written during
this campaign. 1t could not have
been better conceived. more admit
rably expressed, or more terrible
IN its certainty of meaning. The
parallel is certainly a remarkable
one. Infamy awaits the leader
and his abettors:
"a PARALLEL.-In the earlv
times of our Government there
lived a man whose talents were of
the first order, whose manners
were exceedingly captivating, and
whose early life was one Of con-
tlnued triumph. 4 pet of the
people, nothing that he could ask
was refused, and honors seemed to
await him on all sides. In mill
tary, legal and political achieve
ments he had no equal. Honors
gathered upon him almost like
magic, at a very early age he was
made the next highest officer in
the Government. This was his
eliminating point. One step
more and he would have been the
first man by position in the nation.
But time m )ved too slowly for
HIM. Another confederacy SEEM
ed possible, and one bold move
would place him supreme over it.
In later times there lives a
man, and all can draw the par
allel.'

GENESEE VALLEY NURSERIES.
Those of our readers hailing
from Western or Central New
York, are too familiar with the
good epute Of the above named
nurseries to need a word of COM
mendation from us. To those
who are not, we would say that
the above nurseries We're estab-
lished about 1910, upon an extern
siye basis by A. Frost & Co., of
Rochester n. Y, and that through
all the fluctuations of business
they have kept pace with, and
supplied the demand of the coun-
try with the best and choicest va
rieties of fruit and shrubbery of
every description. These nurse
ries are now represented here by
Mr.. &c. Burlingame of Roches-
ter, n. Y, who will solicit orders
for this section of country for
few days only; the orders to be
filled and the articles delivered
here about the Goth of October.-
We are aware that many Of our
farmers have serious doubts as to
the feasibility Of growing fruit
in this coun try tlom the extreme
severity Of the winters. To all
such we would say, that having
spent the past two winters in
n. Y, we had abundant time for
observation and reflection, and
we are led to believe that as Sc
we're as the winters previous to
that were with us, they were not
a whit the less so with them. 49,
Consequently we come to the con-
clusion that every farmer may
if he will, raise an abundance of
all the harder fruits in Northern
Iowa. At all events the cost can
be but little to fill small order
for trees, while if successful. as it
will be with proper selections, the
remuneration for the outlay will
be rich and abundant.

The COvOde mmitrcc.

Our readers are aware that committee
has been appointed by tho House of Repre-
sentatives to investigate alleged corruption
as practiced in elections.
As age is added to Our institutions, II is
evident that corruption Of tho most fearful
character is entering into the administra ton
Of the government. Means the bascst plans
She vilest-the use Of money for the purpose
cf bribery in elections, are used without
stint or the least conjunction Of conscience.
and all this to secure place and power, that
the treasury may be plundcred, end the peo-
pie robbed Of their money. Aud this is not
confined to the general government alone,
but the state government also, to one,
but all parties. Indeed it does not seem to
be confined to the state or general govern
ment, but to ali The business relations OF life,
and In this respect we may say we have
fallen on fearful times, and gloomy as is the
picture, it IL no less true.
The committee referred to above, are
pushing their Investigations with considera-
BILE vigor, and we hope with some utilization
end in view, else it will be but mockcry-it
had better never been begun.
1t seems the appointment Of this commit
tse and its investigations have given consid-
srable offence to the President, who has sent
into Congress his protest, affirming that they
have no right to look into his doings, he be-
ing coordinate branch Of the government,
and that IL Congressrhaving tho right to i'm
peach him, enters into an investigation Of
his conduct, through any other process, they
trauscend their power, and put an indignity
upon the executive branch of the govern
gent. This is special pleading and will not
avail him.
The President should not forget that he
has placed himself In the position be now
occupies. In his Du Quesne letter, he charged
that moneys for the first time in the history
of the country, had been employed to in
fuence elections. How then can be object
with any propriety to an Investigation Of SO

We confess to high degree of respect for
the Office of the President OF the United
States, and would no! see an indignity per-
petrated upon the man holding that exalted
position, without mingled emotions of re-
sentiment and adherence, but when the Presi-
dent voluntarily publishes to the world, as a
fact within his own knowledge, that bribery,
by the use of money, has been employed to
corrupt elections, we cannot see with wha,
propriety he can complain Of an investiga.
ton into the matter by a committee OH the
part of Congress. and especially so, as i. is
well known, that madam rumor with her ten
