IgDastycnss has frally come out in fla
vor Of Fremont, or practical abolltlonism.
Being opposed to the administration, he
IS. according to his showing heretofore, a
traitor His aboliliouism has finally got
the better Of him, and shows him in his
true light. He is as much OF an aboli-
zionist at heart, (if he has one, as Phil
lips, Garrison, or John Brown. but know
ing such dogmas 10 be detesled by ma
jority of the people of the community in
which he is situated or, in other words,
believing as Horace Greeley did a few
years ago, that the North is not ripe yet
for practical abolitionism, he has hereto
fore tried TO establish a reputation for
conservatism. He has been secretly
praying that the war may be turned into.
or end, in a crusade against slavery but
when he sees the embodiment Of the idea
suddenly cut short in his wild schemes OF
abolitionism. he very sagely concludes
that the administration has made a great
mistake Were it not for the injury which
he believes and hopes the war will te the
means OF inflicting on the institution, "
he would be no more profuse in his pro-
fessions Of loyalty than most men. What
does he care for the government. the en-.
forcement Of the Constitution, more than
men whom he constantly charges with
disloyalty? Nothing at all The idea
that such cross grained, i'll constructed
mass OF elements. in the corporsal organ
ization known as Ignaslycuss. could be ac-
tuated by patriotic motives. is too rid
iculous for serious contemplation. His
unbounded patriotism. and great love 70,
the government, are but another name fol
his hatred of the South. If the socia
status of the two sectiohs was changed
Ignastvcuss would be as much in favor o
Jeff. and his bogus Confederacy. as he i.
now against it,-and for the same rea
son.

Washington, Nov. 16.


Capt. Taylor. who has arrived here with
dispatches, reports that, when the San
Jacinto stopped at Cienfuegos. the escape
Of Slidell and Mason was ascertained.
Proceeding thence to Havana, it was as
cerained that they had taken passage, on
the 9TH inst, on the British mail steamer
Trent, playing between Vera Cruz, by way
Of Havana, and ST. Thomas and South
ampton. While the San Jacinto was in
the narrow part Of the Bahama Channel.

she met the packet, and. AS usual in such
cases. fired shot across her bow, and
brought her 10.
Boats were sent out to her under com
mand of Lieut. Fairfax. who. boarding tho
packet, arrested Mason and Slidell. WHO
were personally known to him. They at
first objected to being removed without the
employment Of force for that purpose.
However they were soon after removed
without further trouble, and conveyed to
the San Jacinto. Their respective secre-
taries, Euestis and McFarlan, were also
brought on board, and are now OIL their
way to New York. The packet had no
other save her own flag. The remainder
of her passengers. including the ladies con-
nected with the Slide!l and Mason party.
were not molested. and were therefore left
free to pursue their journey.
The official dispatches are voluminous,
and include several accounts OF the cap
ture. together with a protest OF Mason AMI
Slidell against being taken from British
ship.

TEE MOTIVE.

Ignastycuss thinks the New York Tri-
6ane's motive for publishing Brecken-
rid ge's speech was not the same as ours;lhat
the Tribune was actuated BY patriotic mo-
tives, and that ours were reasonable.
Since he has undertaken to demonstrate
and defend the motives Of the Tribune,
We should be pleased to have him tell what
its motive was in publishing the following
extracts in its editorial columns. We
want him to be explicit in his answers and
not evade the question, as he frequently
does.
Read the extracts carefully, Ignastycus5.
and then tell US wba; the Trioune's mo-
tiyes were in publishing them:
off the cotton States consider the valne
Of the Union debatabe, we maintain their
perfect right to discuss it. Nay, we hold
with Jefferson the iDalienabe right Of
communities to alter or abolish forms of
government that have become oppressive
or Injurious and If the cotton States shall
be satisfied that they can do better out Of
the Uoion than in it. we insist on letting
them 60 in peace. The right 10 secede
may be revolutionary one, dta IL er'sts.
nevertheless.- New York Tribune, Nov.
8, 1860.
"If the cotton States unitedly and ear
nestly wish 10 withdraw peacefully from
the Union, we think they should be aliooc.
ed TO do so. Any attempt to compel them
BY force to remain, would be contrary to
the principles enunciated in the Declare
ton Of Independence contrary to the
fundamental ideas on which human liber-
ty is based Tribune, November Goth,
1860.
'If the people of seven or eight con-
tiguous States shall pretty unanimously
resolve to secede and set up for them
selves. we think they would do so. and
that it would be most unwiSe TO undertake
to resist such secession by Federal force.
Why is il that those who want to col flute
this doctrine, always make their attack on
something else!-"Tribune, December TO-,
1860.
1--WE have repeatedly asked those who
dissent from cur view of this matter, to
tell US frankly whether they do or do not
assent to Mr. Jeflerson's statement in the
Declaration of Independence. tha. gov
ernments derive their just powers from
THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED;
and that, whenever any form of govern
ment becomes destructive OF these ends,

TO ALTER OR ABOLISH 1T, and to
institute new government. DC, &c

The Logansport PhGros, Of late date,
says we quote from memory that the
Democratic Central Committee probably
knew nothing cf the sentiment Of the
party relative to holding the State Con-
vention on the 9Th of January.
There is probably as much evidence
that they knew the sentiment of the party
rs well as the few editors who are oppo-
sing their action. and in some instances
denouncing them. The Central Commit.
tee consists of thirteen members, we be
lieve, and received their appointment at
the lat Democratic State Convention.

Committee. and all with whom they cor.
responded on the subject. that, all things
considered, the 9th Of January was the
most suitable time for holding the Con.
vention, is there any particular blame to
be attached to them for issuing the cal

We have no doubt but the Committee

demonstrated that majority of the party

The SLAVES WIDE AWAKE Col. Forney
writes from Washington to the Philadelphia
Press -
Il am not of those who desire TO see prop
erty of our southern people interfered with.
would unutterably deplore the horrors Of a
servie insurrection. But, as a faithful histo-
rian of the times, it is well that should say
that those who have taken the full responsible
ity of resisting the federal authority, and of
prescribing all who are found in defence of the
American flag, should appreciate the dangers
that are rapidly surrounding them, so that
when the tempest is let loose, they may
not prove to be wholly unprepared.
Is it possible that war which starts out
with Il declaration against free principles,
which denounces the people OF the Tree states
as ignorant, vulgar, brutal, and inferior, and
which through lis numerous agencies, does
not hesitate to anticipate the establishment of
a monarchy, shall not awaken all those slum-
berng aspirations in the breast of the colored
race for freedom which southern statesmen
have really always secretly feared May not
in other words, this race be compelled to take
some steps OF precaution for their own protec-
ton, when they see the war that is waged
without mercy on the whites
a gentleman just returned from Virginia
in fact, one who had been expelled from that
me that it was interesting to notice the as
sumed Ignorance and indifference Of the slaves
while in presence of their masters, and that
the moment they believed themselves safe
and near a northern man or one whom they
| could trust, they frightened into intelligence,
| and spoke of passing events with wonderful
accuracy and feeling lie told me that he
had several copies of northern newspapers
in his room, and that frequently the SER
vants cOuld steal up to him and beg permission to
every fact and opinion, and then going forth to
spread among their teiiows that ohich they had
acquired. All these considerations enter large
ly into the present and the future of our coun.
try. We cannot ignore them if we would.
What is 10 become of this race~-whether it is
10 be colonized or returned to Africa-are
| questions which lie far beyond. We have to
do simply with what is now transpiring-not,
indeed, what we wish to happen, but what we
should be fully prepared for"
