| The New Abolition Developments In Com
! gress-Their Danger to the North.
We have already called public attention to
the work of Mr.. Spooner on "The DEMONSTRATIONS
atty of Slavery" the fountain head from which
Seward and all the other black republican
leaders have drawn their political theories and
programme, and which demonstrates, with ir-
resistibie logic, the object at which they are
all arriving.
To day we give further extracts from the
same work, which has been in the course of
publication for the last fifteen years. and
which snow the handbook of all the republi-
can leaders. Some of them have denied this
fact, aud most of them disclaim the idea of
aiming at the emancipation of the negro slaves
in the South, and their admission to political
and social equality, through the operation Of
the habeas corpus, protected by the military
force of the federal government. The ex-
tracts which we give to-day embrace the whole
foundation Of Mr.. Spooner's argument, and
point conclusively to the aim Of it..
Everything is referred back to the natural
! rights" Of the individual man before he congre-
| gated in society, and laws and constitutions
are tried by that test. Under it Mr. Spooner
claims that contracts Of government or con-
stitutions cannot infringe "natural rights" and
should never be SO interpreted. He then ap.
plies the legal rules of Interpretation to the
constitution of the United States, and in every
page shows that his object is the destruction,
through the process oflaw, of the entire social
organization Of the slave States. The denial
Of the republican leaders that this is their OBJ
ject received direct and irrefutable contra.
diction in the House of Representatives at
Washington yesterday, by the presentation of
the preamble and resolution of Mr.. Blake, of
Ohio, and its endorsement by large majority
of the black republican members of that
body. Here are the doctrines and the names
that uphold them

abolish capital punishment, and we are sorry
to say it has passed the Assembly All the
burglars, garroters, and other criminals who
infest New York city, will have fine time
cutting their victims threats and knocking
them on the head seeing that the punishment
will not be much, if any, greater than for rob-
berry.
This bill is supported by two classes of
men-one the humanitarians, whose false phi
lanthropy is a disease, and the other the muir
derers, highway robbers, and Dead Rabbits.
and housebreakers, and gamblers, who are
either present in person in the lobby at the
State Capitol, or are represented by active and
worthy agents. 1t is all very we'll for members
from the rural districts, where crime Is compa-
ratively rare, to speculate about their the
cries of capital punishment: but If
they lived in close proximity to the vii
lains who prowl about all large cities,
they would entertain very different opinion.
If this bill should pass, no mans life would be
safe. Robbers and rowdies will rule the roast,
for they may kill with impunity. They may, it
is true, be sent to State prison for life; but
we all know bow easy it is to get rascals out,
and how generous pardoning Governors are at
the expense of the lives, limbs and property of
the citizens of the State over which they pre-
side. Alter men are hanged there is no danger
of pardon: but send murderer to State prison,
and the chances are at least even that after q
short time be will find himself at large, ready
to stab to the heart or shoot through the bead
another victim. We trust the Senate will throw
out this infamous bill by such large majority
as will amount to vote Of censure upon the
members of the other house, who, in their maud.
lin, morbid sympathy for criminals, and in
tense anxiety to save their precious necks
have no thought or consideration for The many
innocent lives which would be cut short by me
blood stained proteges Of the New York Al

That John c. Breckinridge was a sym
pathizing member of the the late Know
Nothing "party" the principles of which
prescribed citizens of foreign birth rs well
as citizens of the Catholic faith. That j.
C. breckenridge delivered an address, in
which was said, all things being equal he
would vote for native born citizen, or a
citizen of his own religious preservation,
in preference to one Of foreign birth, or one
of another persuasion.
And VIM. l.. Yanccy in speech lately
delivered in Richmond Va, denounced the
entire body of our foreign born citizens, i,
the very strongest terms, he called them
all aboitionists, charged them with being
an injury to the country, and for himself
wanted none ofthcm.

The election of Lincoln may cause this,

STAEsEEENG!!

Among the dusty records of the ancient
past is found this incident: youngprincc
returning home in the carly hours of the
morning in that condition which bespoke
a night of debauch, found the entrance to
one ofthe schools of philosophy already
open, and the sages Of his country engag-
ed i'll the discussion of questions of law
and morals, he entered, intending to make
their debates the subject of ridicule, his
noisy intrusion however disturbed not the
dignity and composure which dwelt within,
but the presiding officer arose and deliver
ed an address upon sobriety and temper
ance, so truthfully were its delineations, so
powerful were its appeals. that the young
man came forth to enter upon a new car
Ger in life, and afterwards governed his
country with the most distinguished abili-
ty and credit.
And as we havelingered within the pre-
cincts of the sacred temple of our Union,
admiring the beauty and harmony of its
vast proportions, the simple grandeur Gifts
original design, charmed by the classic
purity and oriental richness of the eloquent
teachers Thereon again, as we have sat
instructed by the vast erudition, and wis
donSDfthose time honored seers, the thought
has arisen, could we but bring our Breck-
inridge friends within these hallowing in
fucnccs, some hope would be entertained
for their recovery.
But Alas! Alas That arch-feDwho
originally entered these lower regions in
his serpent like form, and crushed tie hopes
of new born world, hath in these latter
days reappeared upon our earth in the
form and shape of "Breckinridgc Dcmocra-
cy," seeking to destroy the last remaining
hope of humanity. He hath led Mr.. Breck-
inridge to the high peaks of Southern
Confederacy, and dazzling his brain by the
vain but glittering promise of all the king
doms 9th world, now leads HIM captive
at his will.
The people are then forwarned of the i'm
pending danger, let them beware, be not
tempted hy the fair looks, or hattcring
promises, the penalty is death.
Hoping that there may be some Breck-
inridge men not yet too far gone, we take
pleasure in informing them that the doors
of mercy are still open, but they will re-
main so but very few days longer, hence,
We would bescech them in that most en-
dcaring language: Come and let us rea-
son together, though your sins be as scar
let, they Shall beas white as snow-though
they lc red like crimson, they shall be- rs
