The night was lit up for miles around.
The Vigilance Committee were soon

Of three carpenters, one by the name
of Hamlin, the others unknown, and
took them aud hung them to TIM first

burned them !.
Tie town is under arms, the military

remainder Of the Northern men were
sent up the river on the steamer Peyton;
some ofthem were branded with the

Stranger still, these identical hogs
would squeal when the fatal incision
was made, grunt after the knife was

what liberties dogs and hogs will take

bought a new stove and it cracked,

THE AFRICANS AT key WEsr-WHAr OUGHT TO
sE Done WITH THEx.-Tbe seventeen hundred
Africans at Key West, In Florida, captured by
our cruisers In slavers, appear to be In very
bad way for want Of proper accommodation In
the prisons in which they are confined. 1t was
never anticipated that In such q small place 90
much prison room would be required. Our
government are bound by law to send them
back, but are waiting In the hope Of making
arrangements with the benevolent Colonization
Society, who are higgling with CONTRACTORS 10
- to make what money they can by the opera
ton, and, Of course, TO subject tho Africans to
the worst kind of ussge on the passage home.
II Is estimated that they calculate to net some
100000.
Now, It Is very evident that the whole ofthis
system is wrong, and that the act OF Congress
which renders 1t imperative on the government
to send the negroes back ought to be
repealed. Sending these seventeen hundred
blacks to Africa is sending them to their
native bsrbsrisu and idolatry, and that at
cost Of quarter OF million Of dollars to the
country-a quarter of q million worse than
thrown away. Instead Of returning the 60
wages to the degradation of their native land.
why not detain them here to teach them Chris
tianity and civilization, which would cost the
country nothing whatever The negroes
themselves desire to stay, and it Is hardship
in every way to send them back. Many Of
them will perish if given in charge of the Colo
niza.ion Society. Massachusetts, and the other
anti slavery States of the North, who worship
The negro, ought to take hold of these full
blooded, pure Africans, dividing them among
Them IN proportion to population, and thur
determine what can be made of such materials
II their negro philanthropy, however is only
profession, and for political effect, or If the
climate Of New Eueland should be too cold for
the children of the sun, then they ought to be
spprenticed to the planters OF the Southern
States, and brought under the benign inau
epces of civilization. There is ample room for
them all in Texas. How much better to seno
,bem there than to Guinea. Here they will be
benefited themselves in their most material int
rests, while they would assist in developing the
resources Of the country and add to those pro-
ductions necessary to the existence or comfort
-of the white man all over sheworld. 10 Africa
they would be only swelling up the dark cata
iogue Of crime and cannibalism, and never
have chance Of being elevated from their
horrible condition.
With far less inhumanity might Congress I'M
dertake to send back the Germans or Irish
who are landed on our shores The British
government seem to know much better the
value Of an able bodied population, for they
send the captured negroes TO their colonies,
where they are bound a. apprentices, taught
the rudiments of the Christian religion, and
subjected to the discipline and restraints neces-
rary to their civilization, while the colonies
and the mother country are enriched BY these
valuable sccessions Of labor suited to tropi-
raj climate.

to be offered the mission 70 England, which b
viii accept and play the role of Van Buren,. %
as to be ready for the republican nomination
In 1864.
Under these circumstances Seward viii lend
his aid to the republican Presidential ticket,
and Thurlow Weed will support it in the Euen-
ing Journal. Indeed, already the Seward organ
begins to say that Lincoln viii carry every
State in the North. But how this II to be done
we are at loss to know. Fremont, Who had
q far better chance in 1856, did not carry every
State In the North. Allthe abolidonists proper of
the Garrison and Wendell Phillips school who
will vote for Lincoln voted then for Fremont,
and vast numbers of conservatives voted for
him who will not vote for Lincoln. On the
contrary, from the revolutionary Developments
of the republican party, and its rapid progress
towards the dissolution of the Union, the con-
ssrvative element is scared away from ii ranks,
and nothing is left but sbontouism pure and
simple. Lincoln, therefore, will not poll e.
large . vote a. did Fremont, and he will not
get New York, nor New Jersey, nor Pennsylva-
mia, nsr Indiana, nor Illinois. II any good de-
mocrat who will run well in the Middle States
should be nominated ct Baltimore, Lincoln
viii be overthrow with tenfold greater
defeat than Fremont suffered in his contss
with Buchanan. Fremont was conservative,
and derived . large share Of his support from
the conservative and mercantile classes, who
abhor revolution. On the contrary, Lincoln,
who is proved by his own record to be q revo-
lutionary abolitionist, will have these votes
srrayed against him, and will have to depend
exclusively for his support on the fsnaticsi
claes. and the political gamblers, who, for the
spoils Of Office, would risk everytning-the
safety of the country and their hopes OF
Heaven. II with such aid he can carry every
Northern State or any OF five or Elk which we
could name, then we will admit that history Is
fable. that facts are not stubborn things that
figures lie, and that all our calculations are In
vain.
